The Found Cause

Finalizing our trilogy on political philosophies (really religions of the modern world), we arrive at the most popular: Capitalism. Does it, as some claim, take what's good from Christianity and remove the bad? Does it, as others claim, take all that is bad from Christianity and remove the good? Can a Christian really consider themselves to be a Capitalist? Let's talk about that. Follow us...

A haunting word - Fascism. Beyond all the clamor around it, what does it really mean? Is it actually growing in popularity amongst Christians in the United States? Can a Christian actually consider themselves a Fascist? Let's go to Scripture and compare.

While political commentators often bluster over dirty-words like "Communism" and "Marxism", we want to take a fair assessment of the ideology as a whole, why some Christians think it may be the most-Godly form of government, and if we cut through the bias of history and determine the Scriptural-basis of good government.

We review the viral debate between Mormon Apologist Jacob Hansen and Reformed Baptist James White, on whether the God of Calvinism is Morally Abhorrent. We discuss the changing tides of Mormonism, between the opening statement and the great cross-examination of this debate.

We react to a video by  ⁨@gabiafterhours⁩  , a Mary-adoration-focused YouTube channel, and their review of an old book recommended by Roman Catholic saints and Popes alike: The Mystical City of God. Does what it have to say about the Virgin Mary ring true, and align with Scripture? Let's talk about it...

An LDS listener of our podcast, David, talks with us about the Mormon doctrine of Pre-existence, and we discuss how it impacts the Gospel and where it aligns and doesn't with Scripture.

Iran: just the most recent of many war-moments that have come and will come. How does a Christian wade thru the propaganda and determine the godly perspective on this war, and war in general?

Catholic news YouTuber  ⁨@reasonandtheology⁩  (Michael Lofton) talks about a Brazilian bishop excommunicating Catholics that attend Latin Mass. We respond from a Protestant perspective - what can we learn from this, and what does it mean for the Roman Catholic Church?

The Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament, is now just a footnote in our modern study Bibles. But it was quoted several times by the New Testament (over and above the Hebrew version, where it differs) - does it have more to say than we give it credit for? Let's talk about that.

Neo-paganist YouTuber  ⁨@OceanKeltoi⁩  has a video where he presents an argument he says he has never heard a Christian answer effectively. Can we?

Instead of just bumper-sticker piety, we want to talk about prayer for what it really is: one of the most basic and richest parts of being a Christian. We also need to talk about what it's NOT, and how to avoid the traps of many false religions!

A viral hit from several years ago that still makes rounds in the American church, 'Sheep Among Wolves' is a documentary/fundraising movie from missionary work in modern Iran that... is more wolfy than it appears.

In light of the ever-changing politics of both the country and the Church, we discuss millennia-old works like the City of God by Augustine, to base ourselves in something older than the current trends, refute the rise of actual (not fake) white supremacy in the Church, and embrace God's Law instead of man's and the true meaning of 'Nationalism' for a Christian.  ⁨@NXRStudios⁩  , w...

We discuss Sebastian's doctoral-level interest, but in short: the Church of the East, and why it's history is hidden, disputed, and terribly important for any Christian to know.

​  ⁨@HeroicIdeal⁩  The Ark, a YouTube proponent of reviving the worship of old European pagan gods like Zeus, has had some semi-viral videos. You may ask, is this a movement with any real momentum?

"Are we the baddies?" Not a question we are often used to as Protestants, but there is a trending topic labelled "Ecclesial Anxiety" for people joining churches that claim to be the "original, one true, apostolic, catholic church" (ie Roman Catholicism, Easter Orthodoxy, or others similar). How do we digest this real problem facing converts to these religions, and do...

While we have warned about Pietism and overly-spiritual legalism in a recent episode, we want to emphasize the great benefits of some, including memorizing Scripture. It's not just a simple "you should do this... because...", but a practical reasoning for why it matters, and how to do it well.

One of our surprise favorite episodes! Piety - a noble goal, but a hidden destroyer of Church unity throughout the ages. Sometimes called "Legalism", it's often referred to as Pietism by those condoning it. It cuts in fiercely political ways, and gets very close to home - lets talk about it.
