Send us a text!America is divided, but how deep does that division run? Do our small towns and cities see the world through fundamentally different lenses? Today's episode takes a deep dive into this national dichotomy, sparked by the recent release of Jason Aldean’s controversial song, Try that in a Small Town. I dissect the song and its depiction of the ongoing divide between rural areas and urban centers, particularly in the wake of 2020’s events. We also discuss the song’s resonance with the frustrated spirit of the populist movement, and how Aldean himself has often found himself in opposition to Nashville's controlling elites.We then shift gears, analyzing the growing sentiment in favor of a national divorce, echoed by personalities like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Exploring movements like the Greater Idaho Movement and phenomena like the New Big Sort, we discuss the mass exodus from liberal cities and states, and the irony of the political choices of those who relocate. We provide an in-depth examination of the stark contrast between these 'blue' and 'red' areas, highlighting the socio-political implications that have given rise to these sentiments.Lastly, we scrutinize the changing face of Evangelical Christianity, particularly its shift towards the Open Society of post-World-War-II consensus. We talk about figures like Russell Moore and the pivotal roles played by David French and Tim Keller in this shift. We examine Tim Keller's influential manifesto, The Decline and Renewal of the American Church, and its impact on today’s church. Wrapping up, we reflect on the widening schism between the populist fundamentalist movement and the evangelical establishment, and its implications for conventional views on masculinity, marriage, family, and community.

Send us a text!How should Christians think about leaving godless blue states? In this episode, I talk with pastor Joel Webbon about his new book, Fight by Flight: Why Leaving Godless Places is Loving Godless Places.  We'll also talk about the  upcoming Right Response Christendom 2.0 Conference, which is about seven doctrines: Reformed Confessionalism, Covenant Theology, Biblical Patriarchy, Presuppositionalism, Kyperianism, General Equity Theonomy, and Post-Millennialism. Sit tight as we unpack the controversies surrounding biblical patriarchy and contemplate its future trajectory. I will be joining Joel at the conference to speak about biblical patriarchy.  We further delve into the intriguing dynamics of biblical patriarchy, exploring the implications for the roles of husbands and wives. Joel and I rigorously evaluate the essence of distinctly feminine domestic applications in women's Bible studies. How should a husband utilize his authority as a husband to oversee his wife's spiritual formation? We broaden our discussion to encompass the concept of Complimentarianism, investigating its societal, familial, and church implications. Towards the end of our conversation, we navigate the turbulent waters of 'staying and fighting' versus 'fleeing and fighting' in progressive contexts. We scrutinize the current struggles of MacArthur-type churches, the compromises made by Keller-type churches, and how effectively others are pushing back against the wokeness of progressive contexts. Join us as we assess the impact of these decisions on state taxes, church funding, and the power dynamics of applied theology. Finally, we reflect on the importance of faithfully preaching revelation, interpretation, and application, and the implications of the decision to stay and fight or flee and fight in progressive contexts.
