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.

This election season many Trump voters are hoping the Amish in Pennsylvania will help swing the state red. Some commentators have even referenced the Amos Miller story as an example of why the Amish might now be more inclined to get out and vote for the GOP, and specifically Donald Trump. But have Trump and the Republicans stood up for the Amish? It turns out, one of Amos Miller's greatest enemies was a Trump-appointed Republican attorney general committed to pummeling Miller into submission to the Nanny State. In fact, no Republican in the county or state was willing to support Miller. On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume shares some of his first-hand knowledge of the Amos Miller story and how it relates to claim that the GOP will help preserve the Amish from prosecution and persecution.

The owner of a farm stand in Lancaster County has spent thousands of dollars and lost hours and hours of production due to man-made legislation and regulation (all instituted for the "common good"). A dutiful zoning officer appears to have been monitoring Jesse Smucker's operation for years, and finally informed him that his Smucker's Farm Market was in violation of a local ordinance that limits the sales area to 500 square feet. Though Smucker did not break God's Law or harm his neighbor, he is now enmeshed in statist bureaucracy and costly legal meetings. On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume shares this story and discusses the maddening fruit of natural law legislation.

Stephen Wolfe recently released a video response to Brian Zahnd's Christian Voter Guide. In that video, Wolfe does a fine job of critiquing many of Zahnd's claims. In the process, he makes an argument for using civil power for "human good." In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume plays a clip from Wolfe's video and raises a few points of disagreement with Wolfe (though not in terms of his critiques of Zahnd).
