Summary
Is your church quietly training you to lose? Chase sits down with pastor and author Michael Clary to talk through his new book Loser Theology: Why the Weak Will Not Inherit the Earth (Canon Press). Michael diagnoses a malady in the modern church — a "fortune-cookie" spirituality that dresses up passivity as holiness, treats giving up power as the heart of the gospel, and conditions Christians (especially men) to be doormats. Chase and Michael, who go back to their Acts 29 days, dig into the sound-bite theology of Keller, Russell Moore, and Beth Moore, the difference between gentle-and-lowly and firm-and-direct pastoral care, and a whole-Bible reading of the hard sayings — turn the other cheek, servant of all, do not resist the evildoer — that refuses both wooden literalism and liberal escape hatches. The positive vision: high agency Christianity, rooted in the creation mandate and the Great Commission, that recovers authority, dominion, and courage as gifts to be stewarded rather than idols to be surrendered. Whether you’ve felt the dissonance and couldn’t name it or you’re ready to fight it, this one will put steel in your spine.

The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity (Amazon) — hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook - https://amzn.to/4w7aJvl
Summary
What if the crisis of modern masculinity isn't only spiritual — but biological? Chase sits down with Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale — the Oxford- and Cambridge-trained historian known online as Raw Egg Nationalist — to talk through his provocative new book, The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity. They trace Charlie's unlikely path from medieval church historian to one of the most influential voices in the MAHA movement, and dig into his central thesis: that liberalism itself is a low-testosterone system, that endocrine disruptors and processed food are quietly reshaping men, and that Francis Fukuyama's "last man" is now a physiological reality. Along the way they wrestle with the Christian temptation to divorce body from soul, Nietzsche's critique of Christianity as a slave morality, the guilty conscience, Christian vitalism, and whether the church still has the vitality to fight. Whether you're deep in this conversation already or skeptical of the whole thing, this one will sharpen you.

Summary
Has the American church kept gun ownership as a cultural inheritance while losing the doctrine that justifies it? Chase sits down with Isaac Botkin of T.REX ARMS and author of Path of Liberty for a wide-ranging conversation on the biblical foundations of self-defense, the strange world of GunTube, why John Piper is wrong about home defense, what red flag laws actually do to common law, Protestant resistance theory and the 250th anniversary of America, and why AI is the new gunpowder. They get into Palantir, decentralization, the future of corporate America, and whether the citizenry is virtuous enough to handle the tools coming our way. Whether you're a Second Amendment absolutist, a curious pastor, or just trying to think Christianly about technology and power, this one will give you a lot to chew on

Summary
Is Britain finished, or is it finally waking up? Chase sits down with Connor Tomlinson — British commentator, writer, and former Lotus Eaters host — for a wide-ranging conversation on the collapse of the United Kingdom and the political insurgency rising to meet it. They cover Connor's path from Catholic revert and university free-speech fighter to independent commentator, the dilapidated state of British towns and the NHS, the demographic catastrophe of the Boris wave, and the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal that the state spent decades covering up. Then they dig into the recent local elections, the difference between Nigel Farage's Reform UK and Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, why Keir Starmer is the most hated prime minister on record but refuses to leave, the House of Lords, and whether the King could actually do anything to save the country. If you want to understand what's happening across the pond and why Connor is more bullish on Britain than he is on America stick around to the end of the show.

Alex Kocman returns to Full Proof Theology to discuss his new book Ordered to Love, published by Founders Press. Alex serves with ABWE as Director of Communications, leads as an elder at Faith Bible Fellowship Church of York, and writes at the intersection of missions theology and cultural engagement.
In this conversation, Chase and Alex work through one of the most contested and misunderstood concepts in modern Christianity: the ordo amoris, or the order of loves. Drawing on Scripture, Augustine, and the deep wells of Christian tradition, Alex makes the case that love is not flat—it is hierarchical, particular, and purposeful. They discuss how every current culture war issue is, at root, a question of disordered love; why the Good Samaritan parable actually supports rather than undermines ordered love; what a nation truly is and why it matters for both missions and politics; and why a missionary's love for the nations must be grounded in a genuine love for their own nation and people.
Alex also responds to key objections—from progressives who claim the concept is unbiblical, to nationalists who want to abandon foreign missions altogether—and explains why he wrote the book to produce "missionaries with the heart of an activist and activists with the heart of a missionary."

Summary
In this episode, I discuss my new book, 'Offensive Christianity,' which addresses the crisis of masculinity in the church and society.

I emphasize the importance of men stepping into leadership roles in their homes, churches, and communities, and advocate for a return to a more historically rooted understanding of manhood.

In this urgent episode Chase Davis responds to a week of shocking violence — a subway murder, a school attack near Evergreen, CO, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk — and explains why these events reveal a deeper cultural rot. Chase offers a frank pastoral diagnosis: universities and institutions have become vectors of radicalization, too many leaders are silent, and Christian men must stop compromising.

The article from Sola Ecclesia titled "Can the Church Talk about Politics?" argues that the church not only can but should engage with politics, as politics affects the practical aspects of life which are under the purview of Christian concern. Here's a summary of its key points:
- Relevance of Politics to Christianity: The article posits that politics, understood as the art of structuring society for the common good, is inherently linked to Christian values. It's not just about governance but about how society lives out shared life in accordance with divine principles.
- Historical and Theological Context: Drawing from Reformed political thought, particularly Johannes Althusius, it highlights that politics has always been part of human organization aimed at establishing social life in a manner reflective of God's order.
- The Church's Role: The church is seen as having not only the right but also the duty to address political issues because these issues concern justice, neighborly love, and the good life, which are central to Christian teaching. Ignoring these would be failing in the church's mission to be fully alive in all societal aspects.
- Critique of Political Neutrality: The text critiques the idea of the church floating above earthly affairs, suggesting that such a stance might lead to societal moral decline. It points out that avoiding political issues can be seen as neglecting the church's responsibility towards justice and societal well-being.
- Engagement Without Partisanship: While advocating for engagement, the article warns against the church becoming a mouthpiece for any political party or ideology. The focus should be on principles derived from scripture rather than party lines or specific legislation details.
- Cultural Mandate and the Church's Mission: The church's mission is not just spiritual but also involves engaging with the world in ways that reflect God's kingdom, which includes speaking into the political domain without necessarily endorsing particular policies or parties.
- Implications for Church and Society: If the church fails to engage with politics, societies might continue a downward moral spiral. The article implies a call to a more active, principled, yet non-partisan engagement with political life, where the church acts as a moral guide rather than a political actor.
This article essentially calls for a balanced approach where the church engages with politics not for power or to dictate specific policies but to influence society towards justice, righteousness, and the common good, reflecting Christian values in the political sphere.

Jacob Glass on X - @JGlassMin
Ben Castle on X - @CalRumRedivivus
Summary
The conversation is a debate on whether keeping the fourth commandment in the New Covenant requires only a spiritual resting in Christ and his finished work or if it also requires a physical resting in worship. Jacob argues that the Sabbath was a sign of the Mosaic Covenant and that Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Covenant, establishing a new covenant with a new covenant sign, the Lord's Supper. He believes that Christians partake in the Sabbath by spiritually resting in Christ, not by observing a physical day of rest. Ben argues that the Sabbath command is rooted in natural law and corresponds to man's nature as a physical and spiritual being. He believes that keeping the Sabbath in the New Covenant requires both a spiritual and physical resting unto worship. He also argues that the Sabbath command has a positive moral aspect and that the change of the day from the seventh to the first is rooted in Hebrews 4. The distinction between the ceremonial and moral aspects of the Sabbath command is a point of contention between them. The conversation explores the different perspectives on the observance of the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. Ben Castle argues that the Sabbath commandment is moral and should be observed on the first day of the week, while Jacob Glass believes that the Sabbath is a sign of the old covenant and is not binding on Christians. They discuss the moral nature of the Sabbath, the transfer from the seventh day to the first day, and the distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. They also address the issue of tradition and the importance of gathering with the church on the Lord's Day.

Summary
In this episode of Foolproof Theology, host Chase Davis interviews CJ Engel about the history and development of conservatism in America. They discuss the origins of conservatism in the 18th century and its evolution through the progressive era and the New Deal. They also explore the role of National Review and other conservative publications in shaping the conservative movement. The conversation touches on the compromises made by conservatives during the civil rights movement and the rise of neoconservatism in the Republican Party. The conversation explores the history and influence of neoconservatism, highlighting its origins in the split between nationalist and internationalist communists. The internationalist Marxists, aligned with Trotsky, aimed for a world revolution to establish communism globally. As the Soviet Union faltered, many ex-Trotskyites became advocates of internationalist democracy, promoting democracy and human rights as the means to make the world a better place. The neoconservatives, a small group of power brokers, infused this internationalist mindset with anti-Sovietism and strategically took over the conservative movement. They controlled the framing and narratives, influencing policy and staffing the government.

Takeaways
Understanding the relationship between Christians and Jews is important in addressing issues of anti-Semitism.

Eschatological positions like postmillennialism and amillennialism have different perspectives on the course of human history.

Anti-Semitism is the notion that Jews are uniquely malevolent, but it is important to acknowledge the mixed bag nature of Jewish contributions throughout history.
Paul's strategy in Romans involves Gentiles living under God's blessings, which can provoke Jews to envy and lead to their salvation. The relationship between Christians and Jews has been complex throughout history, with instances of both persecution and protection.
Legitimate criticism of Israel's actions or policies is not inherently anti-Semitic, but it is important to distinguish between criticism and unfounded accusations.
Ethno-religious loyalty and influence in various industries should be evaluated on an individual basis rather than making sweeping generalizations.
Engaging in fair and honest discussions about sensitive topics is crucial, but it is equally important to avoid resentment and bigotry.

Summary
In this episode, the hosts discuss the concept of fortresses in the context of Christianity in today's world. They explore the differences between culture warriors and cultural engagement, highlighting the flaws in both approaches. They introduce the concept of cultural insurgency as a strategy for Christians in the current negative world. The hosts delve into the importance of shifting loyalties and owning space, emphasizing the need for Christians to understand the distinction between the ruling regime and the nation. They also discuss the significance of fortresses as a metaphor for strengthening the Christian position and launching from a place of strength. The conversation explores the concept of fortresses as a strategy for Christians in a negative world. Fortresses are tangible, martial in spirit, and serve as defensive structures that can be a base for launching forward. The progression in building fortresses is similar to the progression in strategy games, starting with small settlements and advancing to defensive structures. Fortresses are cultural spaces that provide a necessary area of life for Christians. Examples of fortresses include American Reformer and classical education. Churches owning their own space is crucial in a negative world. Screening is important to attract the right people and protect the integrity of the fortress. Normies can be won over by offering a better and higher life.

Leading boldly and remaining convictional is crucial in avoiding the mistakes of previous generations and effectively reaching the lost.
While there is a move towards post-denominationalism, denominational distinctives can provide grounding and stability for individuals in a transient culture.
The Assemblies of God has a mix of theological positions, including both Arminian and Calvinist perspectives, and a range of views on women in ministry.
Charismatic gifting can bring life and vibrancy to a church, but it is important to maintain order and focus on the primary goal of salvation.
Navigating the tension between charismatic and complementarian views requires understanding and respect for different theological perspectives.
The Assemblies of God has a cooperative fellowship that supports and credentials women in ministry, but the number of female lead pastors is still relatively low.
It is important to differentiate between churches that embrace women in ministry due to feminist ideology and those that do so based on their interpretation of scripture.
Despite theological differences, it is important for churches to link arms and work together for the greater cause of the gospel.

Critiques and challenges should be approached with the intent of promoting dialogue and understanding, rather than causing division.
The local church's response to Honest Youth Pastor has been generally positive, with an understanding of his heart and intentions. Maintaining relationships should not compromise biblical convictions.
Compassion and conviction are not mutually exclusive.
The church is a vital community for growth and accountability.
Cynicism should not lead to a rejection of the local church.

Summary
In this episode, Chase Davis interviews Jamie Bambrick, a pastor and YouTuber from Northern Ireland, about his response video to the controversial 'He Gets Us' commercial. They discuss Jamie's background, the issues surrounding immigration in Ireland, and the problematic message of the commercial. Jamie shares his inspiration for creating a response video and the overwhelming positive reception it received. They also address the notion that making both the left and the right upset is a measure of success, emphasizing the importance of proclaiming the true gospel message. In this conversation, Jamie Bambrick discusses the impact of a controversial video that slanders Bible-believing Christians. He highlights the negative consequences of such portrayals and emphasizes the need for reconsideration. The conversation also explores the concept of pre-evangelism and how actions like this video can actually harden the ground for sharing the Gospel. Finally, Jamie shares where listeners can find and support his ministry.
Takeaways
The 'He Gets Us' commercial promotes a distorted and potentially false gospel message, endorsing societal values and sins rather than calling for repentance.
The notion that making both the left and the right upset is a measure of success is not a biblical standard and should not be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a message.
The true gospel message may challenge the values and lifestyles of both the left and the right, but it is essential to stand for the kingdom of God and proclaim the truth.
The impact of the 'He Gets Us' commercial makes it harder for Christians to stand for Christian truth in the public square, as it portrays them as haters according to the world's standards.
Proclaiming the true gospel message and sharing stories of life transformation are powerful ways to promote the cause of Christ and make an impact. Controversial videos that slander Bible-believing Christians can have a detrimental impact on their reputation.
Actions that are intended as pre-evangelism can actually make it harder to share the Gospel by creating a negative perception of Christians.

Living under Christ's lordship brings order, beauty, and flourishing to individuals and society.
Christian magistrates have the opportunity to rule for the common good according to God's word and be a blessing to their people. The state is a ministry of justice and should reflect God's design for governance.
Christian rulers can be a blessing to all, promoting the common good.
Pastors should engage in political theology and discuss political matters from the pulpit.
Social media has limitations and can often lead to unproductive and divisive conversations.

In this conversation, Michael Foster discusses various topics related to masculinity and the church. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the times and interacting with ideas. The success of his book, 'It's Good to Be a Man,' is attributed to its sincerity and compassionate approach to men's issues.

He introduces his new podcast, 'This Is Foster,' which focuses on practical topics for men.

Takeaways
Church planting should focus on reaching the people in the community and making disciples in a way that is accessible and relevant to them.
Authenticity and tradition are important in creating a masculine church culture that appeals to men and addresses their needs.
The pastor as entrepreneur model can lead to a constant need for innovation and can distract from the core mission of the church.
Church planters should prioritize building a strong church planting team and focus on the substance of ministry rather than imitating a specific pastor or model.
Balancing imitation and individuality in pastoral leadership is crucial, as men naturally want to imitate older men but also desire authenticity and personal growth.

Jared Moore is the Pastor of Homesteads Baptist in Crossville, TN. In his recent book, “Lust of the Flesh,” Jared examines current movements within the American evangelical church related to sexuality. Jared takes to task various proponents of same-sex attraction within the church. He also looks to church history to give weight to this important matter.
My endorsement of Jared’s book: “In this accessible volume, Dr. Moore has done a tremendous work for the church today. The issue of sinful desires and lust is a fierce battleground for Christians, and many are harmed by bad teaching on these matters. Dr. Moore’s contribution to the church is certain to build her up to think clearly on such crucial topics. Christians and pastors will benefit greatly from the clear biblical and theological thinking found within."

David Schrock is the Pastor for Preaching and Theology at Occoquan Bible Church in Woodbridge, VA, and a professor at Indianapolis Theological Seminary. Like many pastors, he was encouraged to read a little book called “Divided by Faith” many years ago. After careful biblical and theological reflection, David has published a book that is a point-by-point rebuttal to “Divided by Faith” called “Dividing the Faithful.” We discuss what led him to reevaluate the understanding many evangelicals have been sold regarding race in the church and highlight key errors in “Divided by Faith.”

In this conversation with Ben Crenshaw, we cover the topic of liberalism. Many people today consider liberalism a doomed project. While people still love freedom, we often fail to account for the importance of virtue. In order to understand liberalism, we need to discover what gave rise to the liberal project. Ben shares a historical overview of liberalism to help us better understand it. We also discuss modern egalitarianism under the liberal scheme and friends and enemies in light of biblical teaching.

“Anatomy of a Cancellation” - https://www.firstthings.com/article/2023/01/anatomy-of-a-cancellation
“Churches have a duty to cultivate in their flocks a spirit of martyrdom, a willingness to pay the price for Christian witness. A church of “cultural engagement,” emphasizing niceness at the expense of doctrine, inculcates the innocence of doves without the wisdom of serpents. Supporting controversial witness is a necessity in an orthodox Christian church. The gospel is a sword; so is the law. While my cancellation was afoot, I received many handwritten notes of encouragement from my fellow parishioners. Other parishioners were solicitous for my family and my mental state when I encountered them at worship. Just as my fellow board members at Ambrose stood firm in our mission, so did my church. I am grateful.
Though churches should not teach their parishioners to run full-steam into machine-gun nests, the beauty of the martyrs is a story as old as Christendom. St. Ambrose’s courage to refuse Communion to Theodosius over the Massacre of Thessalonica was possible only because he feared God more than he feared man. As did St. Stephen in the face of stoning; as did Justin Martyr, beheaded for witnessing to Christ among the Romans; as did so many others. Such examples of faithfulness are crucial. Cancellation is not martyrdom, of course, but it is in the odor of it. And churches that recognize its nobility are much more likely to be rallying points for all that is central to Christian faith.”

Nancy Pearcey is a professor of apologetics at Houston Christian University and a well established author on Christian worldview matters. In her latest book, the Toxic War on Masculinity, Nancy asks how it became socially acceptable to express open hostility against men. Books are sold with titles like I Hate Men and Are Men Necessary?
Religion is often targeted as a prime cause of toxic behavior in men. Yet, surprisingly, the findings of social science debunk that negative stereotype. Research shows that authentically committed Christian men test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic abuse of any group in America.
In this interview, we dive into her latest book exploring the topics of masculinity, feminism, headship, and competing scripts for men today.

In this episode with Conley Owens, we discuss his book on the Dorean Principle. The Dorean Principle, which is based on biblical concepts related to generosity and giving, takes aim at the commercialization of Christianity in the church today. We discuss the disruptive nature of such a principle as it pertains to conferences, seminaries, weddings, and para-church ministries. Owens even goes so far as to criticize the host’s Patreon tiers based on the Dorean Principle! Enjoy!

Conley Owen’s bio from website - “Conley Owens is a software engineer by day, but hopes one day to do the work of a pastor full-time. He is the husband of one wife and the father of eight children. He enjoys cooperative games, couch surfing, casual skateboarding, and other peculiar activities. He has been a member of SVRBC since 2010, and a pastor since 2019.
Conley was saved at an early age when he learned that blaming others for his sins didn’t actually fix anything. Instead, he trusted in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and found true forgiveness. He discovered Reformed theology in college after accidentally getting involved with a cult and realizing he needed a better grasp on what the Bible teaches to keep such things from happening again.”

In this episode, I talk with Auron MacIntyre, host of the Auron MacIntyre Show, about Conquest’s Laws. Robert Conquest was a British-American historian and poet known for his work on the Soviet Union. A long-time research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, he developed two laws of politics (a third is considered John O’Sullivan’s first law, O’Sullivan being a British conservative political commentator and journalist):
- Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
- Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.
- The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.
Auron and I discuss why these laws matter in politics and how they prove true in a variety of ways. We also seek to understand how they work their way out in business and church. Auron and I discuss church and state and why churches should not declare themselves to be “right-wing” but instead simply be Christian.

In this episode, I share a talk I gave at a recent conference in April of 2023 at Christ the King Church of Cincinnati. Christ the King has launched King’s Domain as a ministry of their church to help bring biblical truth into the public square. The theme of the conference was “Clear Speech for a Confused Age.” For King’s Domain, this was aconference devoted to helping Christians speak plainly the teachings of the Bible for the glory of God and the good of the world.
The talk I delivered was on the topic of winsome third-wayism, a topic which I have discussed several times on this podcast. The talk was given in the style of polemics and I strike a tone which I am sure some might find disruptive, to say the least. My aim was to expose winsome third-wayism as a strategy of cultural engagement which is married to the secular spirit of our age and to equip Christian to think courageously about how to resist and combat this strategy in their churches and lives.

On January 17, 2023, Acts 29 removed our church from the network without warning. We had been members in good standing in Acts 29 for 12 years. There was no indication that this action would be taken against our church. It was a unilateral decision made by the board of the network. The removal was announced to us over a call and no written documentation was provided. There is no process of appeal.
In this episode, Matt Patrick and I share not just our experience in being removed from the network but also the audio of the phone call where they kicked our church out. We felt burdened to release this audio as lies have been told to prospective Acts 29 churches regarding our removal. Given the state of the network, we feel it is our responsibility to provide transparency to our brothers currently pastoring Acts 29 affiliated churches about the precarious position in which their fellowship rests.

Roberts’ book explores the contours of the issues and dives deep into the issue of PRIDE as a prime example of what of the worship of the Free Self.
We discuss pronoun usage, identifying as heterosexual or homosexual, and the idolatry of our age.

We also explore what it looks like for Christians to engage culture and politics during revolutionary times. Many Christians today just want to keep their heads down and remain faithful as Western civilization declines. Os counters this idea and suggests a better way for Christians to witness in the American republic.

We explore the topic of presuppositionalism and biblical sufficiency unpacking the authority of pastors and their responsibility to teach the nations to obey all that Christ has commanded.

In this episode, Colin Redemer and I discuss the life and work of pastor, poet, and theologian Thomas Traherne (1637-1675). To start, we talk about why Colin feels that Traherne’s work is so necessary today and challenges faced in bringing “Christian Ethics” to publication today. We explore the topics of virtue ethics, love, Aristotelianism.
Bio - Colin Redemer is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Saint Mary’s College of California and the Vice President of the Davenant Institute. He loves teaching on the intersection between History, Philosophy, Literature, and Christianity.
Excerpt: “THE GOAL of this work is not to entertain you, but to elevate your soul, to refine your soul’s understanding, inform its judgment, and polish it for conversation. To purify and enflame the heart, to enrich the mind, and to guide men (that stand in need of help) in the way of virtue. And it will do this not by fasting with a long face but by exciting men’s desire, encouraging them to travel, comforting them in the journey, and so at last to lead them to true happiness, both here and after death.”

In this interview with Jack Franicevich, we discuss the biblical reality of the first day of the week being Sunday. Jack shares his research regarding the importance of Sunday worship as the normal way that God has structured the time for Christinas. We talk about Christians who need to work on Sundays and how they should participate in worship. We also dive into the topic of Christian and secular holidays exploring “pride month” as a thematic month.
Jack is a middle school classics teacher in Chicago. He is a graduate of Denver Seminary and serves as a deacon in the Anglican Church North America. His forthcoming book on time and worship called “Sunday” will be published by Athanasius Press.

In this interview with Alex Kocman, we discuss the rift between theology and the world of missions. Many times there seems to be disconnect between those who are concerned with orthodoxy and those who are concerned with reaching the lost. Alex (and his co-author Chad Vegas) wrote “Missions by the Book” in order to help relieve this tension and provide a better way forward. We dive into some of the ideas in the book, primarily discussing their use of the regulative principle and how it can be applied to missions. We highlight some examples in Muslim contexts of evangelism and church planting.

In this interview with Patrick Downey, we discuss his book Serious Comedy in which he makes the case that the Bible is a work of comedy. “Because of the Bible we inherit the expectation that we can live serious lives in writing; but because we no longer believe in the one divine poet who could make this possible, the joke is always on us for we can no longer take our own comedies seriously.” Patrick and I discuss the philosophy of Plato, Aristotle, Schmitt, and Machiavelli. We explore how the tension between comedy and tragedy plays out in our world today in art and politics.

In this interview with Doug Ponder, we discuss the practice of public confession of sin as a means of reaching people which is often practiced by many leaders in evangelicalism today. We explore Scriptures related to this issue such as “judgement begins at the household of God” and “pulling the log out of your own eye.” We also discuss hypocrisy and authenticity. Authenticity is a key word associated with expressive individualism. Should Christians be authentic? What does it mean to walk in obedience to God even when we don’t feel like?

In this interview with Micah Caswell (returning guest!), we discuss his commentary on the book of Micah. We discuss what led Micah to write this commentary as well as the context of the Micah the Prophet. We dive into Micah 6:8 which is a verse often used by people for a variety of social justice issues. Micah and I share our different perspectives on it’s application for us today and close out talking about helping kids and people know the Bible more.
My Endorsement: “With clarity and conviction, Caswell demonstrates that the book of Micah is essential for faithful gospel preaching. This commentary illuminates the bountiful opportunities available to every pastor and Christian to speak the good news of Jesus Christ. Replete with illustrations and applications, Caswell has provided a resource which is as accessible as it is helpful."
Micah’s Bio - “Prior to Redeemer Church, I led a small non profit and pastored at churches in Austin and Houston. I am a graduate of the University of North Texas (Go Mean Green). I also hold degrees from Dallas Seminary, Southwestern Seminary, and Toronto Baptist Seminary. My doctorate is from Southern Seminary in the area of explaining and applying the Old Testament Minor Prophets.
In addition to my role at Redeemer Church, I teach the Biblical Worldview class to the seniors at Denton Calvary Academy. I am a certified biblical counselor through the Association of Biblical Counselors and offer free biblical counseling to the Covenant Members and regular attenders of Redeemer Church. However, I also offer counseling to the community through Covenant Biblical Counseling. Finally, I also serve as the Church Planter Recruiter with the Denton Baptist Association’s SEND Church Planting Network.
I have contributed two chapters in the Noble Company series on John Pitman and Thomas Roberts. Recently I was able to contribute to Baptist Way Press’ study on the miracles of Jesus and their study on the Gospel of Mark.

In this interview with Bethel McGrew, we discuss the various problems with the Revoice Movement and historic Christian orthodoxy. We start with a discussion of her PhD in math. Bethel recounts various figures in the Revoice Movement including Greg Johnson. She helps us see the impact of this movement and various teachers caught up in their teachings. We also discuss sin nature, desire, temptation, and concupiscence. When does a desire become a sin? Are we in sin if we have a sinful thought? What about temptation?

In this interview with Colin Redemer (Professor), we discuss a topic that I’ve been curious to explore for most of my life. Competition and sport are major sources of formation and even entertainment. How should Christians think about sports? Do sports inherently require that one embrace a vice to win? What should Christians make of violent competition?
We discuss how some of these concepts play out in the church and theological study by exploring Colin’s role at Davenant.
Bio - Colin Redemer is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Saint Mary’s College of California and the Vice President of the Davenant Institute. He loves teaching on the intersection between History, Philosophy, Literature, and Christianity.

In this interview with Dr. Yoram Hazony, we get into details regarding conservatism as both a tradition and a movement. We discuss the definition of conservatism as traditionalism. We dive into the differences between conservatism and classical liberalism. Recently, Giorgia Meloni was elected Prime Minister of Italy. Yoram offers his perspective on her election and her alignment with a movement like national conservatism. We close out discussing coalition building and partnership with classical liberals who see the rise of woke neo-Marxism as a major problem.
Bio - Yoram Hazony, the chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation and president of the Herzl Institute, is the leading proponent of the National Conservatism movement, which is invigorating the American and European right. His previous book, The Virtue of Nationalism, won the Intercollegiate Studies Institute's Conservative Book of the Year award in 2019. A graduate of Princeton University (B.A.) and Rutgers University (Ph.D.), he lives in Jerusalem with his wife and children.

What is the basis of men, not women, being pastors? How are we to understand the biblical norm of male headship and creational designs of masculinity?
In this episode, I dive into a variety of topics related to male leadership and gender differences. There has been much literature produced on the concept of servant leadership as the biblical paradigm for husbands and pastors. But what if it is wrong? I explore the concept of the laws of attraction from Aaron Renn, the Danvers Statement, and an article by James Jordan on Liturgical Man. This episode was inspired by a question on my Patreon page.

Many young Christians feel a call to ministry, some a call to be a missionary. In this episode, I discuss this popular unction and the culture of American evangelical Christianity that produces it. The missional movement is a self-identified movement within the 21st century. While missional church just claim to be biblical, this is a much used argument made by evangelical to justify their latest pragmatic strategies - such as missional. I question the biblical fidelity of the missional movement and highlight common pitfalls for church planters.
This missional movement also creates a heightened desire for Christian to be missionaries. Many young Christians in the church feel pressure to enter ministry or go overseas. Why does this happen? How do we deal with the fallout of missionaries leaving ministry if not the faith all together? Oftentimes the call to ministry is pitched as the most sacrificial thing a Christian can do. In teaching this way, leader often create unbiblical and unrealistic expectations. We need to have a deeper understanding of going to the nations so that we can better understand our calling to our own nation here.

We dive into Moots’s history in the church and academy while exploring his understanding of Christian Reconstructionism. We get into the topic of Christian Nationalism and a state church. We dig into the magisterial protestant perspective on Christianity and politics and what it has to offer us today.
What is the relationship of the church and state? What would America look like if Christian Nationalists had their way? What place would Baptists have in a magisterial Protestant nation? Why is choosing between religious pluralism and establishment a false dilemma?

In this episode, I explore the cultural engagement model of Russell Moore by describing my appreciation and concern over his approach. Russell Moore is currently the editor in chief at Christianity Today. He was the director of Christianity Today’s Public Theology Project. Before that, he was the President of Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention. He has also served as the provost and dean at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
The winsomeness strategy of cultural engagement has received widespread criticism for being an insufficient strategy to meet the time. Unfortunately, the critique of the strategy has largely fell on deaf ears to the biggest advocates of the winsome paradigm. I close out this episode showing how much of the winsome witness crowd behaves like fundamentalists.

In this interview with Chris Wiley, we explore the strategy of contextualization. Church planters and Christians in the 20th and 21st centuries have been thinking about contextualization and attempting to use it as a means to reach people with the gospel. It is the normative approach to being “missional” in the American context.
While the church has always been a people of mission, carrying God’s gospel message to the ends of the earth, in the mid-20th century many Christian thinkers began to reconsider older approaches to Christian mission. Wiley casts doubt on the usefulness and fruitfulness of this endeavor particularly as it relates to a post-Christian culture of death. He ties contextualization to ideological movements in the 19th Century.
Bio from crwiley.com: “C. R. Wiley’s childhood was like something out of a story by Roald Dahl.
It was full of vacancies. He was a ward of the state for a time. (Imagine living at the DMV and you have a sense of what that was like.) And he hated the 8th grade so much that he took it twice.
Fortunately his imagination filled in what life left out. He drew a lot and actually got pretty good at it.
Besides writing for magazines and publishing books he has been a pastor (still is!), a college professor, a commercial real estate investor, a landlord (still that, too!), and a building contractor.
He has been happily married for over 30 years and he has three grown children. He resides in the state of Washington.
He has written for Touchstone Magazine, Modern Reformation, Sacred Architecture, The Imaginative Conservative, Front Porch Republic, National Review Online, and First Things, among others. His most recent book is, In the House of Tom Bombadil (2021). He is also the author of, The Household and the War for the Cosmos published by Canon Press (2019). His short fiction has appeared in The Mythic Circle (published by the Mythopoeic Society) and elsewhere, and the first book in his young adult fantasy series, The Purloined Boy was published by Canonball Books (2017). He is a board member of the Academy of Philosophy and Letters, as well as New Saint Andrews College.”

In this episode, I offer reflections on Lincoln’s Lyceum Address (also titled The Perpetuation of our Political Institutions) as well as provide a reading of the speech. Lincoln’s Lyceum Address was given in 1838, well before his time of fame as president, to a young men’s association in Illinois. He emphasizes the dangers we face as Americans from mob rule and a general disregard for law. Lincoln reflects upon their unique position in history in relation to the American Revolution and the necessary steps to preserve our political institutions in the future.

In his latest book, Zero Hour America, Os Guinness deals with the urgency of our time. From IVPress - “Revolution? Oligarchy? Or homecoming? Americans are approaching a "zero hour" for the republic and its distinctive view of ordered freedom. America is caught between two revolutions and alternately suppresses and squanders freedom with a prodigal carelessness, with little understanding of the responsibilities that freedom requires.
Os Guinness warns that if America abandons its distinctive ideals and ideas, we will have carved into the chronicles of history yet another example of the failure of a free society. Like other crucial times in world history, the present crisis is a "civilizational moment" and also a pivot point that could lead to national renewal. Outlining seven key foundation stones of freedom, Guinness lays out a pathway for defining and ordering freedom, righting national wrongs, and passing freedom's baton from generation to generation.
Human freedom is precious and rare, and citizens who prize it must do what it takes to renew and sustain societies that are free for all of their members. America's window of opportunity is brief, and the alternative to renewal is bleak. The present moment must not be missed.”
We dive into the topics of freedom, cultural marxism, revolution, the sexual revolution, Christian nationalism, and how Christians can remain faithful today. We explore the differences between the American and French Revolution and how the freedom pursued in America has been explicitly biblical.

She has been published at Desiring God, Crossway, The Gospel Coalition, Tim Challies, Risen Motherhood, Unlocking the Bible, Church Leaders, A Life Overseas, and she is a staff writer at Gospel-Centered Discipleship.
In her book, she explores cultural counterfeits to Christianity which many people are prone to believe today. Using the paradigm of idolatry, she examines topics such as abortion and the LGBTQ movement and their deception.
We also talk about the dustup from her article (based on a chapter from her book) on how Christian women idolize marriage and family. We consider various critiques of her article and approach on this topic.

We have 2000 years of church history which includes 2000 years of sermons from faithful pastors. On his show Revived Thoughts, you can find sermons from the past read for us today. We also discuss the work of William Carey and Jonathan Edwards to gain a better understanding of gospel preaching and cultural engagement today.
Bio: Troy Frasier is one of the co-founders of Revived Studios, the co-host for Revived Thoughts. After Troy pitched the idea of Revived Thoughts to Joel in November of 2017, they began designing, recording, and producing the show. Although it would be a year and a half before Revived Thoughts officially launched, it would fill a need to help bring church history back to life. Within a year they had launched Revived Devos, with host Nathaniel.
Since then Elise joined the studio with Revived Radio. She also envisioned a show focusing on the lives and sacrifices of martyrs and missionaries, that became the basis of her show aptly named, Martyrs and Missionaries. Revived Studios exists to bring Church History into the ears and hearts of believers everywhere!

In this interview with Uri Brito, we discuss his background and development as a pastor, theologian, and writer. We explore the topic of writing with satire, rhetorical effectiveness, and modeling the rhetoric of God. We close with a discussion on postmillennialism. Is satire redeemable? Why do Christians avoid certain modes of discourse? What if the way I communicate stops someone from hearing the gospel? What is postmillennialism and why does it matter?

In this interview with Dr. Doug Groothuis, we discuss his new book, “Fire in the Streets.” The book covers a variety of topics related to Critical Race Theory in America. We dive into reparations, evangelical sympathizers to CRT, and socialism. How should Christians respond to CRT? How did CRT and neo-Marxism take over the academy? Is CRT a conservative bogeyman?

Should we empathize with people who want to sin? Should Christians be whole-life pro-life? How are Christians to think about abortion today? What is the role of desire and confession in the Christian life? When does a desire become sinful?

Graham is a PhD student at Union Theological College in Belfast. Before entering PhD studies, he was Associate Minister at East London Tabernacle Baptist Church, having studied at Oak Hill Theological College in London. Before that he worked for six years with UCCF.
Graham and I discuss three of his articles in this interview. First, we cover an article he wrote in the Fall of 2020 which articulated his understanding of how the state had over-reached and over-realized its ability to control a disease based on faulty assumptions regarding humanity and God. Next, we discuss the concept of resisting the state in the mind of Calvin. We explore the next generation of Reformed perspectives on resisting tyranny and how that informed a variety of viewpoints related to the relationship of church and state. Finally, we discuss the idea of being a magisterial baptist.
Do baptists have a place within the magisterial reformed tradition? What limits are placed upon government in the Christian tradition? Did the reformation ruin government accountability?

James R. Wood is the former associate editor at First Things. He is an instructor at Redeemer University (Ancaster, ON). In this episode, Chase Davis and James Wood discuss the kerfuffle over a recent article James released on winsomeness at First Things. James is a former missionary and campus minister. He is also a pastor in the PCA. After participating in several church plants, he has begun to question the biblical fidelity of certain approaches to ministry which are overly concerned with winsomeness.
We discuss: Is winsomeness a ministry strategy or just biblical? Why are street preachers wrong in their approach?
If you returned as a campus minister in Austin today, how would you do ministry differently than a winsome-only strategy?
Why do you suppose so many misconstrued or really didn’t even attempt to engage your argument in your first things article? How can we reach them? Are they too far gone? Is it worth our efforts?

Dr. Shenvi’s new book, Why Believe? comes out June of 2022. What is CRT? Why is it a problem? Can we “eat the meat and spit out the bones?” Is CRT a religion? Why have so many evangelicals started to utilize concepts from CRT? What is the best way to make memes and more!

In this episode, Joe and I dive into the contentious topic of culture and Christianity. We discuss various developments in church planting and pastoral leadership. We examine the ways in which ‘winsome’ can be not-so-winsome. And we explore the biblical concept of Pharisaism and how hypocritical pride plays out today.
What does it mean to be winsome today? How has church planting changed in the last 10 years? What does it look like to model the life of Christ in cultural engagement? What is a sexual Pharisee?

Josh Daws it the host of the podcast “The Great Awokening.” Josh grew up in the church and was part of a church plant in North Hollywood after moving to California to pursue his career in filmmaking. In this episode he shares his reflections on seeker sensitive church planting and relational evangelism. We discuss the reason many Christians adopt a relational evangelism strategy and reasons to avoid it. We explore the challenge of ministering to people in our current cultural climate particularly in a secular workplace. Finally, we close out discussing the idea of “grooming” in public schools as it pertains to sexual identity in children.
What does a seeker sensitive church prioritize? What is relational evangelism? What does it look like to be a faithful presence? Is that a failed model? What is “grooming” and is it a term that can be used regarding gender and sex ideology in schools?

One of the biggest questions of our day is: what does it mean to be human? While this question may not seem that important at first glance, once we see how it informs basic assumptions about morality, gender, sexuality, and technology we see how it shapes our world. In this episode I deal with both the Imago Dei as a theological category and human composition. We explore the implications for these categories in the areas of abortion, transgenderism, and virtual church.

In this episode, we explore several underlying ideas which have wide ranging implications from disciple making to international relations. Many people think our world is one in which individualism is rampant. But what if it was enmeshment that was rampant? We seem unable to discuss borders and boundaries both relationally and nationally. We also seem to display a double standard when it comes to defending our own country compared to our outcry over defending others. The latest example can be seen in Ukraine (2022). Why do boundaries matter? What should we think of power? How should Christians pray for world events?

In this episode, Dr. Mattson and I discuss public theology (what it is and what it isn’t) particularly as it relates to Herman Bavinck. We also discuss how Christians can be good public theologians today. Do we need public theology? How do we decide when to risk access to the public square by saying things that could get us banned from the public square?

In this episode, I discuss the difference between sympathy and empathy from a biblical and philosophical perspective, and why it matters for Christians. Many today are more fond of empathy than sympathy. In some cases, sympathy is viewed as uncaring. How did this change occur? What should be done about it?
In this episode, I discuss the deconstructionism in the church, where it comes from, and what I see it doing. Efforts to reform the church come and go but I offer some general principles and warnings on how to do it well. What does reform look like today? What does it mean to deconstruct? Why are some churches preaching deconstruction sermons?
In this episode, I discuss my experience at the Evangelical Theological Society annual conference (2021) and why a community of theologians is so crucial.
In this episode, we explore the importance of geography and location for mission and ecclesiology. Why do church buildings matter? How does our geographic location shape our spiritual life? How should we consider the limitations of geography?
In this episode with Aaron Renn, we discuss how America has changed in how it understands Christianity. Being a Christian was seen as a positive social attribute for a long time. Now being a Christian is a social liability. How should this change the way we engage in mission? What should Christians do in response to this negative world?

In this episode, we'll discuss the idea of being "gospel-centered" as well as some vulnerabilities of a truncated gospel message. Often people use the phrase “gospel-centered” to emphasize a focus on justification and soteriology while at times ignoring larger gospel themes in the Bible. How does this play out today? Who might be guilty of this truncated gospel? What movements have popularized the idea of being “gospel-centered?”

How should we understand the law and grace with respect to antinomianism? Can the moniker “gospel-centered” become too myopic?

In this episode, we'll explore how "loving your neighbor" replaced "judge not" as the latest widespread misapplication of the Bible. Jesus quotes Leviticus in Matthew 22 responding to a lawyer who tests him saying “you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Does this apply to health mandates? How should we apply this to government orders? How are we to understand God’s law today?
