Vote for the Best Possible Candidate

Dr. Owen Strachan discusses the saying 'of two evils choose neither' attributed to Charles Spurgeon. He clarifies that Spurgeon did not mean to opt out of politics or difficult choices. Instead, Spurgeon cautioned against falling into unsound doctrine and having an unloving spirit. Strachan emphasizes that Spurgeon called for political engagement and expressed his opinions on consequential political matters. He also highlights Spurgeon's involvement in social causes, such as church planting, founding orphanages, and addressing social ills. Strachan encourages Christians to be salt and light in the political realm and to follow Spurgeon's example of putting faith into action.

Films That Fire Men Up (with Joel Berry of the Babylon Bee)

Dr. Owen Strachan reacts to an article by Russell Moore on Richard Dawkins, the famous atheist, who recently referred to himself as a cultural Christian. While Dawkins does not believe in the Christian faith, he recognizes the value of Christianity in terms of its civilizational and aesthetic effects. Russell Moore seems to think that this is a bad thing, but Owen thinks that while there may be dangers to a sort of "cultural Christianity", it's a sign of something more significant happening.
