The Lancaster Patriot Podcast

On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, presented by Future of Christendom, Chris Hume responds to Doug Wilson's recent NPR interview — and to one revealing line in particular: "I love the Constitution… I love the constitutional structure."

It sounds like a harmless patriotic sentiment. But God has given His people a law and a structure for justice of His own — so what should we make of it when a prominent Christian leader professes love for a man-made one?

Chris argues that this instinct doesn't stand alone. It's tied directly to a second thing Wilson said in the same interview: that he's not interested in applying the Old Testament straight across with no variations — that the judicial law no longer applies. And that, Chris contends, is the root: once you conclude God's judicial law has passed off the stage, you're left with a vacuum where the civil standard should be, and something has to fill it. Man does. And so a good man learns to love the framework men have built.

During the episode, Chris mentions an article highlighting how early American leaders began treating the Constitution like Holy Writ. To clarify a detail from the audio: it was actually John Quincy Adams (not John Adams) who shockingly lifted language directly from Deuteronomy to praise America's founding documents.In his 1839 Jubilee of the Constitution address, John Quincy Adams declared: "Your Mount Ebal, is the confederacy of separate state sovereignties, and your Mount Gerizim is the Constitution of the United States... Lay up these principles, then, in your hearts, and in your souls – bind them for signs upon your hands, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes – teach them to your children... cling to them as to the issues of life – adhere to them as to the cords of your eternal salvation." When Christians attribute national blessings to a man-made document and use the language of Scripture to revere a political framework, it reveals a massive blind spot in modern Christendom. We must reject the man-made legislative structure and return to God's standard of justice.

On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, presented by Future of Christendom, Chris Hume shares his thoughts following the soccer matchup of two nations that have a rich Christian history: the Netherlands and Morocco. Two nations that once held robust places within Christendom, and now neither one does. One was conquered by the sword of Islam. The other threw Christ out the front door and called it progress.Chris walks through both nations under the lens of God's Law:— The forgotten Christian history of North Africa, and how Morocco was lost— The Netherlands from the Synod of Dort to state-sponsored child euthanasia— Islam vs. secular humanism: which is worse to live under, and why "neutrality" is a myth— The truth about Ottoman rule of Christians (a response to claims made on Tucker Carlson), featuring historian Raymond Ibrahim— The hard question: in a nation under God's Law, would a Muslim bowing to Allah be guilty of a capital crime? An honest, open-handed look at Deuteronomy 13, Deuteronomy 17, and Leviticus 24Chris makes the case that the answer isn't Mecca and it isn't Amsterdam — it's the crown rights of King Jesus over every square inch.🎧 New shirts: tinyurl.com/endstatismshirt📅 Conference — America Reforged: Rebuilding on God's Law: futureofchristendom.org/events🤝 Support the show: patreon.com/thelancasterpatriot#theonomy #GodsLaw #Christendom #Islam #secularism #Reformed #TheLancasterPatriot #FutureOfChristendom #ChrisHume

In this episode, Chris Hume responds to three clips thatreveal a serious confusion of priorities in parts of the Reformed world.

First, Doug Wilson claims that Sunday worship is the mostimportant thing a Christian does. Chris explains why this statement, though common, actually inverts the biblical order. God repeatedly shows us that He values justice and righteousness more highly than ritual and religiousobservance.

Second, Wilson makes a revealing comment about structuringlaws to achieve desired outcomes. Chris pushes back on the idea that we are called to tinker with or redesign God’s Law in order to get better results.

Finally, Chris addresses a statement from Dan Horn, whoargued that speeding is a sin and that churches should not elect pastors who speed. This comment exposes a deeper problem: treating man-made regulations as moral law.

Throughout the episode, Chris argues that we have largelyinverted God’s priority list. Justice and righteousness are weightier matters than liturgy and institutional worship — and when we get this backwards, we distort the Christian life.

In this episode, Chris Hume begins with the federal government’s latest crackdown on “antisemitism” and how Executive Orders 13899 and 14188 are expanding the definition of unlawful speech. He then plays a key clip from Matt Walsh that gets remarkably close to the Lancastrian theonomic position — before Walsh falls back into statism. Chris closes by addressing the immigration debate through a recent Future of Christendom meme, showing that the real problem is not people coming over the border, but what we are mass-producing inside our own borders through the rejection of God’s Law.

After a months-long hiatus, Chris Hume returns to The Lancaster Patriot Podcast to (finally) wrap up his analysis of Dr. Chris Walker’s Sunday School series on civil government.

In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume contrasts statist slavery with biblical servitude and looks at a section of Leviticus 25. The ugly truth is that the United States has the fourth-highest incarceration rate on earth (behind only El Salvador, Cuba, and Rwanda), nearly 2 million souls locked in cages, a 70+% recidivism rate, and a system that turns petty offenders into lifetime wards of the state — all funded by your taxes. Most damning of all: the modern prison-industrial complex is the direct antithesis of the biblical law concerning servants. While man-made law locks men up for years with no path to restitution and no hope of restoration, God’s Law offers a different path.

A couple weeks after their ⁠public debate⁠, Chris Hume (Christian) and Wilson Whiting (atheist) sat down to continue their conversation. The first hour largely focuses on biblical servitude, before the conversation transitions to morality and epistemology.

Chris Hume follows up on his recent public debate with atheist Wilson Whiting by addressing the common atheist argument against biblical slavery. A common tactic among atheists is to simply read biblical law and watch Christians squirm. But this only happens because the church has not been taught to understand and love the Law of God. This episode will equip you to respond to the common atheist objection: "The Bible endorses slavery."Watch the HUME vs. WILSON Debate: https://youtu.be/Bu1d-s7B17U?si=mQIdveH0G9zD0Hla

The untimely death of Charlie Kirk has sent waves of grief and reflection across the American landscape, placing the intersection of faith and public life center stage. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot, Chris Hume offers five essential biblical guideposts for Christians navigating the conversation surrounding Kirk’s public memorial service and the state of Christianity in American conservatism. While celebrating the powerful public witness and proclamation of the Gospel at the service, we also need to apply necessary biblical discernment, asking: What does this event reveal about the depth and focus of modern American Christianity? Is the movement truly centered on the Law-Word of God, or human principles?
