The Lancaster Patriot Podcast

An Amish farmer was recently raided, some of his property was seized, and hundreds of his products were "detained" in place, making it "illegal" to move them. Pennsylvania State Rep. Dave Zimmerman recently released a video interview he did with Sec. Russell Reading, the head of the Pa. Dept. of Agriculture. Zimmerman did not publicly oppose the tyranny of the state's department of agriculture, nor did he voice strong support for Amos Miller and food freedom. Are there any men of courage in the ranks of civil leadership in the state willing to stand with Amos Miller? To date, it appears not.

An Amish farmer in Lancaster County is once again being harassed by state agents for the great crime of offering food outside of the government's approval. This is a battle for freedom and liberty in the face of tyranny. On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume is joined by Joel Saint, Travis Schmalhofer, and Luke Saint to address this ongoing story.

Amos Miller, an Amish organic farmer in Lancaster County, has come under attack (again) by a civil government hellbent on regulating our food into oblivion. The Nanny State thrives on fear and dependence; and the Nanny State destroys true liberty. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume shares some thoughts on the Amos Miller story and claims that Miller’s milk “killed” someone.

Earlier this month, Michael Cassidy, a Mississippi man, took down a Baphomet statue (erected by The Satanic Temple) that was set up inside the Iowa Statehouse. Cassidy said, “My conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree…and so I acted.” Meanwhile, both Satanists and Republican legislators are decrying Cassidy’s actions in the name of “religious freedom.” On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Luke Saint, Matt Kenitzer, Joel Saint, and Chris Hume discuss this ongoing story.

Tom Ascol and Graham Gunden recently interviewed Timothy Decker about his forthcoming book on Romans 13. During that podcast interview, Pastor Gunden claimed that prior to 2020 the issue of disobeying tyrants was "not something that anyone ever talked about...as if this could ever happen in our lifetime." Is Gunden's statement true? And if not, what does that reveal about the ignorance of a pastor like Gunden? And how does that bode for the future? In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume addresses the fact that pastors like Gunden have been (willfully?) blind to the hundreds and hundreds of Christians who have been resisting American tyrants for many decades prior to 2020.

Thousands of congregations are leaving the United Methodist Church denomination over the issue of homosexuality. Despite the fact that the number of congregations affirming a biblical view of marriage are in the majority, the liberal wing of the denomination has succeeded in getting the traditional congregations to leave. On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, local Methodist pastor Paul Miller joins Chris Hume, Travis Schmalhofer, and Joel Saint to discuss the recent happenings in the United Methodist Church.

James White and Jared Longshore have been going back-and-forth concerning the new covenant and its members. At this point the informal "debate" consists of at least three articles from Longshore and several podcast episodes from White (linked below). In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume interacts with Longshore's position (mainly from his article published on Dec. 12, 2023) and provides an overview of the position of the new covenant wherein, in the words of John Owen, the new covenant "does effectually communicate all the grace and mercy contained in it to all and everyone with whom it is made; with whomsoever it is made, his sins are pardoned."

In 2020, when Westminster Presbyterian Church (the largest Reformed church in Lancaster County, PA) cancelled the assembly of the saints, Senior Pastor Chris Walker released a video and written statement explaining "three clear biblical commands guiding our decision not to meet for worship right now." He (and his elders) cancelled the assembly of the saints and appealed to the recommendation of the civil government as support for that decision.  On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume interacts with Walker's 2020 video and critiques the arguments Walker presented in favor of canceling church for weeks. (Walker and the church elders also required masks for the first Sunday when they finally reopened.)

Chris Hume, Dave Stoltzfus, Joel Saint, and Matt Kenitzer discuss a local prayer breakfast, the myth of neutrality, and Romans 13.

John MacArthur said it was an “easy call” to shut down the assembly of the saints. Paradoxically, he also claimed that the assembly of the saints is “the most essential of all things.” Then, for months, MacArthur sent a message to his church (and the watching world) that the church was closed. Strangely, some are denying that MacArthur shut down the church. For example, one person wrote, “They never shut down.” Why are people whitewashing the past?  Additionally, MacArthur (and hundreds of pastors like him) has not repented of his actions in scattering the sheep.  In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume provides the truth about MacArthur and the suspension of the assembly of the saints.  Be sure to order a copy of Chris’ brand-new book, Scattering the Sheep.
