On this episode, Chris Hume briefly discusses the relationship between ethnicity, culture, and language, emphasizing that man-made law actually prevents a people from preserving their ethnicity. Relying on the "state" and man-made laws to solve problems related to ethnicity and culture is detrimental. Instead, we ought to seek alternative ways to preserve ethnicity and culture without rejecting God's Law and civil structure.

Marek Kizer recently posted a video in response to the Saint-Maricle immigration debate in which he critiqued the position of non-legislative theonomy. In the spirit of brotherly debate and edification, Marek joins Chris Hume on this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast to informally debate the idea of establishing justice without a legislative branch. Enjoy what we hope will be the first of many Hume-Kizer dialogues!

Joel Webbon recently claimed that theonomists are essentially libertarians (and that libertarians are essentially "libs"). Is this an accurate description of the theonomic position? Or is it a serious straw manning based on using Joel McDurmon as the poster child for theonomy? On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume is joined by Joel Saint, Luke Saint, and Travis Schmalhofer (the boys are back!). Listen as they discuss liberalism, libertarianism, and non-legislative theonomy.

Rich Lusk, pastor and author, joins Chris Hume to discuss conversion, faith, children, baptism, and the Lord's Supper. Lusk, who wrote Paedofaith: A Primer on the Mystery of Infant Salvation and a Handbook for Christian Parents, explains his position as a proponent of both paedobaptism and paedocommunion.

Warm Thanksgiving wishes to you and yours this holiday season! On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume discusses the Pilgrims' vision to advance the kingdom of Christ, the need to honor Christ in the public square, and the danger in asking the government to keep us "safe" and "healthy." This episode also features an interview with Luke Saint, author of The Sound Doctrine of Theocracy.

State Senator Dusty Deevers (R-Oklahoma) was recently asked about non-legislative theonomy. On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume analyzes his response and also digs into Deevers' pornography bill. Do we need more man-made laws to establish justice?

This election season many Trump voters are hoping the Amish in Pennsylvania will help swing the state red. Some commentators have even referenced the Amos Miller story as an example of why the Amish might now be more inclined to get out and vote for the GOP, and specifically Donald Trump. But have Trump and the Republicans stood up for the Amish? It turns out, one of Amos Miller's greatest enemies was a Trump-appointed Republican attorney general committed to pummeling Miller into submission to the Nanny State. In fact, no Republican in the county or state was willing to support Miller. On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume shares some of his first-hand knowledge of the Amos Miller story and how it relates to claim that the GOP will help preserve the Amish from prosecution and persecution.

The owner of a farm stand in Lancaster County has spent thousands of dollars and lost hours and hours of production due to man-made legislation and regulation (all instituted for the "common good"). A dutiful zoning officer appears to have been monitoring Jesse Smucker's operation for years, and finally informed him that his Smucker's Farm Market was in violation of a local ordinance that limits the sales area to 500 square feet. Though Smucker did not break God's Law or harm his neighbor, he is now enmeshed in statist bureaucracy and costly legal meetings. On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume shares this story and discusses the maddening fruit of natural law legislation.

Stephen Wolfe recently released a video response to Brian Zahnd's Christian Voter Guide. In that video, Wolfe does a fine job of critiquing many of Zahnd's claims. In the process, he makes an argument for using civil power for "human good." In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume plays a clip from Wolfe's video and raises a few points of disagreement with Wolfe (though not in terms of his critiques of Zahnd).
