Chris Hume is joined by Luke Saint, Adam Terrell, Josiah Huestis, and Julio Delgado for a thought-provoking discussion on immigration, sparked by clips from an episode of The Sword & The Trowel. They explore the contrast between the message of the 1883 sonnet, "The New Colossus," which welcomes the "wretched refuse" of nations to America, and the current mindset of keeping people out at all costs. The panelists tackle the immigration crisis and attempt to answer Graham Gunden's question: "Is it a sin to break U.S. immigration law?"

Chris Hume interviews Ron Kronz about his new book, The Gospel of Jeroboam and the Cult of Easy Christianity. Ron discusses how the “gospel” of Jeroboam leads to personal, cultural, and national bondage.

Does the Bible provide the necessary laws and framework for the proper functioning of civil government? On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume interacts with the idea that theonomists are off-base to claim that the Bible is "sufficient" for politics. Chris explains the two senses in which we use the term "sufficient" in the context of the Bible. He discusses how non-legislative theonomists acknowledge the need for wisdom and prudence in obtaining "new information" to render just verdicts, but insist that the laws given in Scripture are enough (i.e., we do not need new laws).

Luke Saint joins Chris Hume on The Lancaster Patriot Podcast to discuss Pete Hegseth’s change of tune concerning women in the military and the importance of speaking about the Lord’s regulations before kings and not being ashamed (cf. Ps. 119:46). Then, they answer several questions submitted by listeners about theonomy. Finally, Luke gives some follow-up thoughts on his recent podcast episode where he responded to Dr. Phil Kayser’s immigration claims.

In this brief episode, Chris follows up on his recent informal debate with Marek Kizer with some thoughts on the concept of "pre-adjudication" and its implications for biblical justice. Biblical law requires that judges "inquire diligently" in matters of justice (Deut. 19:18). Pre-adjudication bypasses this requirement.

On this episode, Chris Hume briefly discusses the relationship between ethnicity, culture, and language, emphasizing that man-made law actually prevents a people from preserving their ethnicity. Relying on the "state" and man-made laws to solve problems related to ethnicity and culture is detrimental. Instead, we ought to seek alternative ways to preserve ethnicity and culture without rejecting God's Law and civil structure.

Marek Kizer recently posted a video in response to the Saint-Maricle immigration debate in which he critiqued the position of non-legislative theonomy. In the spirit of brotherly debate and edification, Marek joins Chris Hume on this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast to informally debate the idea of establishing justice without a legislative branch. Enjoy what we hope will be the first of many Hume-Kizer dialogues!Watch Marek's original response video: https://youtu.be/SHRgu5R0C5Y?siJDsjEaeIAI5f97 Watch Chris' video about Sen.

Joel Webbon recently claimed that theonomists are essentially libertarians (and that libertarians are essentially "libs"). Is this an accurate description of the theonomic position? Or is it a serious straw manning based on using Joel McDurmon as the poster child for theonomy? On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume is joined by Joel Saint, Luke Saint, and Travis Schmalhofer (the boys are back!). Listen as they discuss liberalism, libertarianism, and non-legislative theonomy.

Rich Lusk, pastor and author, joins Chris Hume to discuss conversion, faith, children, baptism, and the Lord's Supper. Lusk, who wrote Paedofaith: A Primer on the Mystery of Infant Salvation and a Handbook for Christian Parents, explains his position as a proponent of both paedobaptism and paedocommunion.
