A lot of the parables of Jesus are recorded in the gospels. Some of them relate to money. One of them that does is the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, or perhaps you know it as the parable of the day laborers. There is a lot of about money and finances and economics that we can learn from this passage, so in this episode Jeremy dives into the parable, explaining it and some of the implications of it. Check it out to learn what the Bible has to teach you about the proper use of money!

Does the Bible condemn great wealth? A lot of people think it does and point to passages such as Luke 18:18-27 (the rich, young ruler) or Luke 19:1-10 (Zacchaeus) to make these claims. But do those and other passages covered in this episode actually condemn riches? Listen to this episode to find out!

In this episode Jeremy answers an important question: Can you be rich and Christian? So many today argue that certain passages in the Bible condemn all riches and therefore rich people cannot be Christians, or if they can be, they are not as good Christians as others. To answer that question, Jeremy jumps into passages of Scripture that highlight riches in a positive light, as well as ones that do not.

In this episode Jeremy looks back on the election between President Trump and President Biden and what Christians can learn from that for future elections. He dives into the options available to anyone in any election, and then looks from a Christian perspective at those options to see which ones, if any, are truly options available to Christians.

In this episode Jeremy dives into what the future likely holds, both for the United States in particular and the world as a whole. He talks about things that look bleak in the near future, but also the bright hope that Christ will prevail. All things are being put under Christ's feet while the Father laughs and mocks those who rise up against Him.

This episode of the podcast looks at the account of King Ahab and Naboth's vineyard in I Kings 21. This passage in Scripture records an interaction between a king of Israel and a citizen of Israel as it relates to private property. Thus, it has much to teach us about property rights and the government. Check it out to learn what it has to say for us today on economics!

In this episode Jeremy responds to a recent tweet by J. D. Greear—or more specifically, the graphic he retweeted and his commentary on the graphic. The graphic, a quote from Carliss Chapman and published by Occupy Democrats, makes several false claims that those against ab*rtion should do to be "consistently pr*-life," claims which relate to economics and thus come within the purview of this podcast. Greear falls for the trap Chapman laid out and thus I decided an entire episode in response was justified.

What does Exodus 16 have to teach us about economics? Is there really anything that we can learn about economics from the Israelites' gathering manna each morning for forty years in the wilderness? Yes there is! This episode explores some of the things this passage teaches us about economics and how it does not support socialism, despite what some may say.

David comes on again this week to talk with Jeremy about common objections to theonomy. They cover objections such as the claim that theonomy is the NAR's Seven Mountain Mandate, that God's Law is arbitrary, and several others.

If you have questions about theonomy yourself or if you need answers for your friends' challenges to theonomy, this is the episode for you!

David from @PresuppAndDominionPolemics on Gab joins me in this episode to recount how he became a theonomist and then gives a brief history of theonomy. He and Jeremy discuss important figures in the history of theonomy, as well as its relationship with presuppositional apologetics.
