Conversations That Matter

Jon Reviews Katherine Stewart's book "The Power Worshippers" which is also the inspiration for Rob Reiner's documentary "God and Country." Russell Moore, David French, Jemar Tisby, Kristen Du Mez, and others who claim to be Christians participate in that documentary, but how can they if it contains the same anti-Christian sentiments of the Power Worshippers?#godandcountry #christiannationalism #russellmoore #davidfrenchSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jared Lovell discusses natural law and natural rights, comparing scholasticism and classical liberalism.

Jon weighs in on the Alistair Begg and Transgender Weddings issue, including showing how Alistair Begg doubled down on his position that Christians should attend and bring a gift so as to be a good witness. #AlistairBegg #samesexweddingSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bart Barber discusses the power of the president in the Southern Baptist Convention, social justice and Christian stances on issues, the prevalence of women pastors, disfellowshipping of Saddleback Church, and the importance of the Mike Law Amendment.

Pastor turned politician Dusty Deever explains his reasons for entering politics, discussing the Christian Nationalist Agenda. Topics include tax policy, banning pornography, border security, and his commitment to grassroots activism.

Jon first addresses Alistair Begg's recent "trans" wedding comment then talks about recent shifts to the right however small from people like Justin Taylor, Andrew Walker, Erik Reed, Colin Smothers, Josh Howerton, and JT English. How should Christians think about leaders who showed compromise but now are starting to condemn what they once supported? This is a tricky subject but an important one!To support: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/#russellmoore #timkeller #andrewwalker #andrewtwalker00:00:00 Introduction00:06:45 The Donatists00:16:39 Alistair Begg on Trans Weddings00:25:04 Justin Taylor's Shift on the Vaccine00:27:39 Andrew Walker00:42:42 Erik Reed00:45:04 Colin Smothers00:46:26 Josh Howerton00:55:57 J.T.

Jon reflects on how home conveys a sense of security, an extension of a person(s), a place of blessing, a communication of ownership and belonging, and a place of interaction with others. He critiques the ways in which home has been reduced to simply security or a place to interact with others. This shows up in the modern fight over immigration. #home #immigration #illegalmigration #familyfarmSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
