Think & Reform

Luke reacts to a Sunday School lesson given by Dr. Chris Walker from Westminster Presbyterian Church wherein Dr. Walker talks about God's Law and reinforces safe, boiler-plate, and even at times erroneous theology on civil government.

Luke opens this episode with a discussion on Deuteronomy 23:15, then he reacts to a floor argument in the Australian Parliament regarding illegal discrimination, followed by him addressing the death of the "mom and pop shop" in Western statist culture, and finally looks at a voting graph of Democrats and Republicans on abortion! Visit FutureofChristendom.org and come to our conference in October 9...

Luke posits that Christian Nationalism appears to be acting primarily as a counter-reformation to the efforts of faithful men and women seeking national repentance. Starting off today is a discussion around the theonomy and Christian reconstruction of the 70's being a donor base for Christian Nationalism, then an examination of several talks from Eric Conn and Stephen Wolfe!  

Luke comments on a conversation about biblical immigration by Jay Antelo and Lucas Curcio while pointing out that, though the discussion between the two is not extreme, their foundation is not biblical law!  

We begin this episode today celebrating (sarcasm) the election of Trump as he has initiated the bombing of Iran, then Luke takes a look at why the LA riots are experiencing an inflated rate of success, and we conclude with a reaction to a John Lovell podcast wherein biblical ignorance is used to justify statism. Thanks for listening! Go to FutureofChristendom.org to learn more!  

Luke discusses a recent Christian Nationalist poll that indicated a higher priority of the problem of immigration rather than the sin of abortion, and reacts to a video of Dr. Stephen Wolfe's "In Defense of the Common Good" which Luke believes is more akin to an HOA board meeting rather than a case for a Christian nation. 

Luke reacts to a post, a discussion, and a lecture from some leading voices in Christian Nationalism and asserts that the movement has contradictory priorities. 

Luke and Duvv take a circumspect look at the last 30 years of CCM and its natural path to the inevitable destination of an emasculated Christianity

Kicking off today's episode is a response to Dr. Adi Schlebusch's article (itself a response) on Lancastrian Theonomy and then moving on to a reaction of a debate that Chris Hume of the Lancaster Patriot did with an online troll. 

Luke begins the episode by focusing on what he believes to be a lack of emphasis and understanding by theonomists on God's governmental system known as Theocracy. Then, he reads through an article critiquing theonomy by Pastor Tom Hicks called "Why Theonomy Is Unbiblical." Thanks for listening!

Luke begins a discussion on immigration with a Milton Friedman presentation, moves on to Joel Webbon and Christian Nationalism, and concludes with Dr Phil Kayser's second paper addressing immigration control! 

Luke continues reacting to Contra Mundum's video, "Is the Bible Sufficient For Politics?" and argues that Christian Nationalism is not chiefly concerned with establishing justice in the land, but rather is actually concerned with using pagan philosophy to justify sacrificing justice for peace and order.

Luke Saint comments on Contra Mundum's video stream discussing whether or not the Bible is sufficient for politics!

Luke addresses Dr. Phil Kayser's statements made on a recent podcast with Kevin Swanson about immigration, and curiously finds some holes in the argumentation. 

Dave joins Luke on this episode as they review the recent confrontation/discussion between self-proclaimed Bible expert/TikTok sensation Billy Carson and actual Bible expert Wes Huff!

Luke reads and comments on Dr. Adi Schlebusch's (of the Pactum Institute) article criticizing non-legislative theonomy, including Dr Schlebusch's erronious claim that Lancastrian Theonomy wants to abolish the office of civil magistrate. 

Join Luke Saint as he begins the Advent season by addressing and responding to objections to theonomy. As a bonus, he'll also address the social-justice-sewing-circle anarchists (trust us, they're real)! Don't miss this engaging discussion and the opportunity to learn more about theonomy.

Luke Saint and Chris Poschwatta discuss and informally debate Lancastrian theonomy (aka non-legislative theonomy). Hosted by Chris Hume.

Randall Zimmerman, lifetime dairy farmer, joins Luke on the show to talk about the experiences in his line of work, highlighting the difficulties in operating his farm under local, state, and federal red tape. 

Luke continues his response to author Dr. Stephen Wolfe's questions and objections to non-legislative theonomy. In part 2, Dr. Wolfe indicates his surprising unawareness of historical biblical jurisprudence, and wonders what the world would look like without politicians and the nanny state.

Luke Saint reacts to a video wherein Dr. Stephen Wolfe, author of The Case For Christian Nationalism, details non-legislative theonomy (but does not get to finish...we will distribute part two soon). In this first part of his analysis, Luke contrasts Lancastrian Theonomy with Dr. Wolfe's Christian nationalism/natural law legislation and clears up some misunderstandings.

In part 2 of the examination on Stephen Wolfe's book, "The Case For Christian Nationalism," Luke discusses Wolfe's political theory and how it interacts with the American founders' political theory, juxtaposing both with biblical law. 

Christian Nationalism seems to be headed towards a paradox: while its leaders, like Stephen Wolfe, Andrew Torba, and Eric Conn claim the reformed tradition (or the church fathers) as their foundation, the movement is arguing for the complete opposite of what the Reformers were fighting against. Namely, they are positing a Presbyterian version of the Pope, aka, "the Christian Prince." 

The U.S. Constitution has held a lofty place in the American mind for generations. Today, some are wondering if it is a "dead" document. Luke Saint, however, has been arguing something different: the Constitution establishes injustice. Luke recently debated Justin Magill on that very topic. In this episode, Luke is joined by Chris Hume, Travis Schmalhofer, Joel Saint, and Matt Kenitzer to discuss...

Luke and Tirus metaphorically roll their proverbial eyes at the next batch of internet theological hot takes. Hot, as in burning. Burning, because it's a dumpster fire.
