So a couple years back Megan Basham released an explosive book called Shepherds for Sale, which alleges that evangelical Christian leaders sold out – taking money from leftist organizations to push their doctrine and practice leftward. In other words, she found out why a whole bunch of ostensibly conservative churches became liberal seemingly overnight. And…

You may have heard about the pastor shortage. Not enough guys are going to seminary, not enough guys are keeping the collar on, and lots of churches are going without shepherds. What’s behind this phenomenon? How do we fix it? Does it need to be fixed? Let’s listen to Super slowly get more and more…

Proving to be one of our more divisive miniseries, let’s do the FINAL episode on Edmund Burke and political conservatism. Instead of just asking whether Christians have to be conservatives, let’s also ask whether the early Church was conservative.

Today Myles and Super respond to a guy who made a spooky and serious sounding argument against worshiping the God of the Bible…using chat-gpt. No really. And it turns out that AI anti-Christian positions are just as awful as the ones made by human beings.  Emails in the second half!

Say, are Christians allowed to drink? Antinomians would say yes. Chances are, your pastor will say something along the lines of “well yeah but don’t get drunk, drunkenness is a sin.” Perhaps a few of them will say that categorically believers must never drink. What’s the truth of the matter? Today, Super gives us a casual…

So when is a state seizing Church lands acceptable? According to Edmund Burke, the answer is “only when the English do it.” As we continue reading through Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France, the foundational text for conservatism, let’s ask some pointed questions about fifth columns, historical massacres, and the statute of limitations for…

So after he was asked about the guy about 900 times, Super has finally gotten around to talking about “Hoe Math.” Not the manosphere redpill type stuff he talks about, but the “Levels” concept and integral theory that he advocates for. Who is Ken Wilber? Why does that matter? How does his new-age philosophy affect…

Today Super continues his evaluation of Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France, the foundational text for conservatism as we know it. This runs the gamut from the good to the bad of the ideology, from maintaining tradition to “let them eat cake” hypocrisy. As we discuss his praise for prejudice and love for…

The Westminster confession of faith states, “God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass.” Is this true? Does God predetermine everything, even the things He says are against His will? Today we examine determinism, especially the theological kind, and…

You may have heard some conservative dork say that nationalism was born during the French Revolution. Sure. Little does he know, his own politics, conservatism, was born then as well. Fresh off the heels of Lindsay Graham’s passing, let’s start reading Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France, and evaluate the foundational text of…
