Wolfe vs. Gordon: A Critical Conversation On Christian Nationalism

In today’s episode, Rev. Gordon invites Stephen Wolfe to the show. Stephen is the author of the controversial and often criticized book, The Case For Christian Nationalism. He has gained a substantial following on social media for his frank and sometimes harsh statements, and has received criticism for his opinions by many in the Reformed community. Stephen’s name was mentioned during the AGR interview with Doug Wilson and Jared Longshore and this interview is Stephen and Chris’s opportunity to clear the air and attempt to gain a mutual understanding of each other’s viewpoints. The discussion covers kinism, race, and Stephen's view of what a Christian nation should look like, and the role the civil magistrate should play in it. They talk about the difference between being earthly-minded and heavenly-minded and how Christians are to balance the two as we sojourn through the wilderness. Don’t miss this important conversation that works toward open communication and the glorification of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving Thoughts, the PWC

Did my usual Thanksgiving thing and pointed out that it should, in fact, be "usual" for Christians to give thanks and to live in a state of thanksgiving. Then we looked at the new "thing" to be all excited about, "The PWC," the post-war consensus. What is it, how do you define it, and how did it become the central issue in just a matter of a few months? Not sure when the next DL will be as I will be pulling out over the weekend, have long driving days, and next Thursday is Thanksgiving (official). Keep an eye on the A&O app for announcements! 0:00 - Housekeeping 3:18 - LGBT issues and the state of conservatism 11:59 - Thanksgiving thoughts 37:37 - The “Post-War Consensus” and false brothers 1:04:13 - Closing: Beautiful Sweater?

Thanksgiving Thought on Beauty

Beauty is both a gift and a map. It is a gift to be enjoyed and a map to be followed back to the Source of the beauty with praise and thanksgiving." (Steve DeWitt)

 

God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.
