The view teaches that the Christian message will gradually influence more and more people in the world, leading to widespread faith in Christ and societal transformation. On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, local pastor Joel Saint discusses postmillennialism with The Lancaster Patriot's Chris Hume.

Speeding tickets and other traffic citations account for sizeable portions of the budget for many townships. What is behind this? Is it a concern for justice, or revenue? Furthermore, how does biblical law apply to the concept of speeding tickets? Pastor Joel Saint joins The Lancaster Patriot's Chris Hume to discuss those questions on this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast.

Angel Studios' Sound of Freedom has been causing a stir at the box office and at liberal news outlets. The film, which depicts the story of Tim Ballard's quest to save children from sex trafficking, brings to light the dark reality of human trafficking. It's a reality that some liberal websites previously reported on, but now seem bothered by. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Joel Saint (pastor) and Travis Schmalhofer (former law enforcement) join Chris Hume to discuss the movie and the need to apply the Christian worldview when responding to evils such as human trafficking.

A recent death of a South Carolina woman at the jaws of an alligator adds to the fatality count of gator attacks in America this year and (in unrelated news) UPS is poised for what could be the largest strike in American history. Local Pastor Joel Saint (Independence Reformed Bible Church) joins Chris Hume to discuss.

David A. Zwifka, the Rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Lebanon, recently wrote "An Open Letter from the Rector of St. Luke's Regarding Pride." The letter was put out ahead of a "pride service" held at the Episcopal Church. Zwifka's letter describes St. Luke's Episcopal Church as an "affirming congregation" that supports homosexual relationships. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, local pastor Joel Saint joins Chris Hume to discuss Zwifka's letter and the "pride service" held at St. Luke's Episcopal Church.

The Lancaster County (Pennsylvania) commissioners recently approved a $500,000 grant to fund a drug rehab program for inmates in the Lancaster County Prison. This while drug laws continue apace in America and a large percent of incarcerated adults have been locked up for drug charges. On the other hand, federal judges want medical personnel to be allowed to keep giving kids puberty-blockers and other drugs to mess with their bodies.

News about the Presbyterian Church in America's (PCA) decision to appoint a commission to draft a petition calling on the U.S. government to reject the “practice of surgical and medical gender reassignment, especially of minors" has been spreading. Previous information released by The Lancaster Patriot did not include statements by multiple PCA pastors who voted against the measure, but still supported the denomination calling on the civil government to "renounce the sin" of transgender surgeries. This episode provides clarification and more content to the vote.

Lancaster County man Barry Durmaz was arrested last month for driving peacefully on the road. His crime? Failure to submit to onerous regulatory requirements from the Department of Transportation. Many observers are criticizing Durmaz for his stance, but perhaps the freedom to travel is worth fighting for.

Several transgender people were in an apartment with sex toys, drug paraphernalia, four young children, and a dead body, according to Boston firefighters. All four children were taken in by the Department of Children and Families following the incident. However, the Boston Police Department, who arrived after first responders, is telling a different story.

Stories continue to emerge about teenagers undergoing gender "transition" surgeries, only to later deeply regret the mutilation of their bodies in service of the trans agenda. Despite these horror stories, trans activists (like Lititz Chooses Love's Parker Webb) continue to push the narrative, seeking to normalize puberty-blockers and surgeries. Proponents of transgenderism claim their movement is not a religion, but on this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, local pastor Joel Saint joins managing editor Chris Hume to rebut that claim.
