Rebel - Podcast for Cultural Engagement

What should Christians think when world leaders begin to make terrifying threats and people begin to fear the possibility of a nuclear disaster?

Still buzzing after the time we spent with Dr. Joe Boot, the Rebels take some time to reflect on that interview and what practical implications we can draw from it. Have North American Christians been living off the fruit of previous generations labour? Have we ecclesiastesized the Word of God?

Our videos have finally hit the podcast feed! In this weekly Rogue Video we discuss the moral collapse of Hollywood and why we think so many sexual indiscretions are finally coming to light.

This week we had the privilege to interview Pastor, Author and Theologian Dr. Joe Boot. Dr. Boot teaches us about Two Kingdom Theology and why it's a deviant theology to the plain teaching of scripture as well as the historical faith of the reformers. We also discuss the Myth of Neutrality and the Kingdom of Christ in this jam packed episode. For more resources by Joe visit his ministry, The Ezra Institute for COntemporary Christianity at https://www.ezrainstitute.ca/ We also enthusiastically recommend his book, The Mission of God: https://www.amazon.com/Mission-God-Manifesto-Hope/dp/1927684072

Should Christians be one issue voters? Is it wrong to call sin "mistakes" and how did Jesus "learn obedience" if he was perfect? These are just a few listeners questions we tackle this week along with beer talk and a surprise phone call from friend of the show, Chris Griggs from The Front Pew podcast.

Would your life look any different if you knew for sure that God loved you and you belonged to Him? Can we know our future is secure in Christ? This episode the Rebels discuss eternal security and assurance of salvation by looking into 1 John, the letter that John specifically wrote "that we may [know] we have eternal life". We also review the book "Decided: Living a Bog Life for Christ" by Adam Kareus, available here: https://www.amazon.ca/Decided-Living-Big-Life-Christ-ebook/dp/B0725WPH5P/

We've had a few requests to elaborate on how to "spot the lie", so in this episode the Rebels talk through some current cultural topics and recent movies trying to explain how every Christian should learn how to spot the lies in the culture around us.

This episode the Rebels turn to a familiar passage of scripture and ask the question, "do we really believe it?" The Great Commission tells us to "go THEREFORE" not to simply "go", what does that mean and how would that change the way Christians live this out?

This week the rebels look into a movement that has increased in popularity in recent years, but as the wisest man said, "there's nothing new under the sun." This deviant theology has always plagued the true church... join us to learn what's so dangerous about so-called "Christian" mysticism.

A couple Rebels telling a couple of Thieves they're wrong! Oh the hypocrisy! On today's episode we lay out a biblical case for continuationism, that is, why we believe the miraculous gifts we see in the New Testament are still in operation today. We clarify what that means, and what it DOESN'T mean... and we respond to our cessationist brothers The Two Thieves.
