Rebel - Podcast for Cultural Engagement

There is a great book making its rounds in North American Evangelicalism called Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. It’s a good (not great) book. But is it the RIGHT book? Jesus chastised the Pharisees for failing to read the signs of their times... of course Christ was gentle and lowly, but he was also bold and courageous... which Christ-like characteristics are most needed for the times in which God has placed us?

There is a theology of fleeing. Jesus said when we are persecuted in one town to flee to the next... many like-minded Christians have already begun to think through whether the loss of personal liberties, coercive vaccine measures and slide towards totalitarian communism is enough to motivate us to seek greener (and more importantly freer) pastures elsewhere. In this episode P Nate and Pootie argue that Christians should stay put and fight.

After some pushback on our episode defending Joe Boot and Theonomy, P Nate and Pootie talk about whether some things in that episode crossed a line, which leads to some conversation about when and how to use a ‘serrated edge’ while confronting brothers. The duo then go on to talk about what it’s like to say hard things in a culture that is used to squishy things... which leads to discussing some recent(ish) news events that they haven’t had a chance to weigh in on.

With the world in upheaval it seems like very few things matter as much as Christian community. When it comes to the call to be a “city on a hill”, what does that look like for local churches and how can we best position ourselves when the pressure of the State starts closing in from all sides?

P Nate and Pootie are back in Garage-Mahal ready to defend not only the theological orthodoxy of theonomy but of friend and mentor Dr. JOE Boot. A lot has been said over the last year and much criticism has been directed at Joe, the Institute and Theonomy as a whole. Is it warranted? Is theonomy dangerous? Do those hurling insults even understand the position? ... or is it not really about theonomy at all? After recording this episode (but before we posted it) Joe and the boys at Ezra did their own podcast and rebuttal which can be found here: https://www.ezrainstitute.com/resource-library/podcast/more-objections-to-theonomy/ To support the show you can become a Fight Laugh Feast Club Member here: flfnetwork.com/membership/ You can also join the rebellion by sharing and inviting your friends to like the content on facebook: facebook.com/rebelpodcast or by supporting us through patreon at patreon.com/reformedrebel

P Nate and Pootie come out of semi-retirement in order to talk through the bombardment of lies being propagated in the culture. From election coverage, to covid information, the trucker convoy and now War in Ukraine propaganda we see more and more Christians forgetting an inescapable concept: there is no neutrality. We are called to be discerning truth seekers... how can we do that?

P Nate and Pootie fire up the recording equipment to talk about the unraveling covid narrative. With so many athletes and high profile healthy people developing life altering side effects, surely the world will come to its senses... right? Well not exactly, in fact many seem to be doubling down. So what do we do? How should a Christian, who is thinking biblically respond when all logic and reason seems to have been abandoned? When is it time to take a page out of Elijah’s book and begin to MOCK?!

P Nate is joined by friend of the show, pastor Jacob Reaume of Trinity Bible Chapel, to help you think through who you partner with right now. Like everything else, gospel and ministry partnerships have been affected by this global pandemic, differences in approach, response and ministry going forward have broken friendships, ministries partnerships and much more. How do we discern who is a friend and who is a foe right now? How do we know who to support? How do we navigate doctrinal differences with those whose political interests align? P Nate and Jacob talk through these issues.

In true Rebel fashion, this episode is all about helping you think through all that’s going on in the culture from a biblical perspective. What is happening when citizens place think it is every politician, neighbour, business owner and pastor’s job to keep them safe and sanitized? We live in a culture that wants what God has not given us and doesn’t want what He has. We want to give personal responsibility to others, but don’t want any ourselves. We have been on this trajectory for a while... but this is what happens when responsibility is lost.

PNate and Pootie get back behind the mics with a clear game plan... Which gets quickly tossed aside to discuss V@X mandates and how Christians should respond to over reach with government, employers, schools... And even churches!
