Rebel - Podcast for Cultural Engagement

This week, the Rebels are joined by Pastor Joel Webbon of Right Response Ministries to discuss Reformed Confessionalism. One of the things we must do if we want to be faithful in the season in which God has placed us is to be willing to re-dig the wells of Abraham... to stand on the shoulders of the political, ecclesiastical and familial Fathers who have come before us. But what about everything w...

In the last decade, not only have Christians seen secular institutions collapse all around us but sadly, most Christian ministries, organizations and institutions have failed us, compromised or proven themselves to be sliding to the left. This week, P Nate is joined by Pastor and Chief Editor of Clear Truth Media Jamie Bambrick from Ireland to discuss the need to rebuild Christian institutions for...

This week P Nate and Pootie welcome back to the show Marcus Pittman, filmmaker, podcaster and CEO of Loor.tv . Marcus discusses with the Rebels the mandate to put art, media and entertainment under the feet of Jesus in victory. To win the world we have to win in the sphere of the arts where minds and affections are moulded. The conversation reveals a major problem in North American Christianity: i...

We have crossed over the mid-way point in this series “How to Win the World” after last week's mid-season review. This week, P Nate is joined by Ben Garrett from Haunted Cosmos to discuss the theme of storytelling. Throughout Scripture, history is described as the unfolding drama of God's great narrative. How does understanding God's story properly and finding our place in it help to w...

P Nate and Pootie take a quick breather from this series eight weeks in to review the interviews and discuss what they’ve learned. There have been so many great interviews, great conversations and so many take-aways we needed to slow down to digest it all. If you missed any of the episodes, now is your chance to catch up before the next half of the series drops!

As the Rebels continue the summer series on how to win the world we turn our attention to evangelism. How can we win the world if we do not seek the lost with the transforming power of the gospel? Chris invites on returning guest and friend of the show Cory McKenna, who is an equipping evangelist with the Cross Current, to discuss how real, biblical evangelism is the heart of cultural reformation.

It's been a busy spring, but the Rebels are back with fantastic news of a new series.  Check out who their special guests will be!

The rebels capitalize on having Sye in the studio once again and hit a topic near and dear to Sye’s heart: presuppositional apologetics. Sye contends that you do not have to be an expert in fossil records, on the nuances of the Quaran, or have the argument from design eloquently practiced in order to defend the faith, you just have to believe the Bible. Join us as we pick Sye’s brain a...

This week P Nate and Elder P are joined in studio by Sye Ten Bruggencate. Even though the plan was to talk about presuppositional apologetics (that show will drop next week) the Rebels got sidetracked talking about Sye’s long journey to Crossroads, his thoughts on the “Christ is King” controversy and of course… we had to talk about the world ending (again) on April 8 th .

This week P Nate and Pootie step into the studio to talk about whether or not Christians should watch the hit series about the life of Jesus: the Chosen.  Far from trying to engage in hot takes, the Rebels look at the issue pastorally, trying to fairly assess what many have enjoyed and seen fruit from, while offering a few (hopefully fair) criticism and highlighting a few concerns along the w...

As P Nate and Pootie prepare for their trip south they take the time to quickly record a new episode talking through the headlines of the day. The Rebel podcast is meant to help equip you to engage culture with a biblical worldview, so thinking Christianly about what’s going on is a necessary first step.

After the popularity of our Biblical Cosmology series in the fall last year, Pootie finally plays catch up listening to the Haunted Cosmos and the Rebels nerd out on the unhinged. There is an immense value in Christians understanding what the Bible has to say about the unseen realm, but pastorally P Nate wanted to issue a warning that this is an important secondary issue in scripture that can some...

Everybody's heard about Alistair Begg's advice to a grandmother about attending her grandkid's trans gay wedding.  Many have responded, and some people say that some of the responses have been harsh.  The Rebels weigh in on this issue today - not so much the Begg advice issue itself, rather the criticism of harshness.  What would Jesus say?!

It's finally here!  The big reveal; who won the Great 2023 Book Reading Challenge?  The benchmark was 100 books.  You'll need to listen to hear the results, but I can tell you it wasn't me, tech guy Dave.  I thought it was 100 pages!  But seriously, everybody needs to be reading good books.  You say you are not a book reader?  Well, fair or not, the guys say that...

Welcome to the Rebel Podcast for Cultural Engagement.  Today Pastors Nate & Chris talk about why women make up the substantial majority of church attenders.  There could be several reasons, but the one big reason is what they are talking about today.

Kids in the worship service; desireable or not?  What do men have to do with this?  Today Pastors Nate & Chris talk about family integrated worship and the role of men in it.  Producer Dave likes to make faces at the little kids in front of him, but there's much more to family integrated worship than that!

The Rebels start the new year with a look back at important events in Canada during 2023.  

A famous singer (sort of) once sang that the times they are a changin'.  But another famous person (my father) always said that times don't change, people do.  We've certainly seen a huge amount of change over the past several years.  And at the Rebels podcast, another change is coming.  Join Pastors Nate & Chris as they discuss a great change that has happened and what it...

There's always questions coming in from listeners, so the Rebels take some time today to give their answers.  If you've heard the Rebels say something you have a question about, or maybe you don't agree with them, send them an email at rebelpodcastflf@gmail.com .
