Rebel - Podcast for Cultural Engagement

Description: One of the most used and yet most misunderstood passages of the last two years is Romans 13:1-5 – BUT what about all time? Well, we think understanding the new heavens and the new earth ranks pretty high up there. Most Christians believe we are waiting for the new heavens/earth to be created after this earth is destroyed! If that’s true, is heaven going to be destroyed too? Is that how the new testament uses the word “new”? And why does Isaiah say that people die on the “new earth”? We have questions! And hopefully some answers too!

We recorded this episode over a month ago and Nate forgot to post it... so yeah... enjoy. Description: P Nate and Pootie use the monkey-pox scare as a jumping off point to talk about FEAR. Fear has gripped many throughout this pandemic, but it’s not just fear of covid. Some fear covid, others fear the government, some fear the future of our nation and others fear the state of the church... it’s one thing to be concerned, but being fearful is not an option for Christians who believe in the Sovereignty of God... we are called to have one fear that rules all others... the FEAR of God.

One of the questions we seem to get a lot these days is a speculative question asking what we think the next several years/ decades will look like in North America, and more specifically here in Canada. It is no secret that things have been rough. The last two years we have seen: Lockdowns that not only caused depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, drug overdose, pornography addiction and a host of other issues to skyrocket, but we saw the doors to churches closed so those affected could not get the help they needed; Government overreach and corruption sail to new heights; Small businesses destroyed, livelihoods taken, critical race theory infect every area of social, educational and political life, vaccine mandates take away freedom over invasive medical decisions and the list goes on... First of all how does this trajectory fit together with a theology of historical optimism? And secondly, how do we see the next few years playing out in the culture?

In this episode Pootie and P Nate talk about a book they both recently read "In the House of Tom Bombadil" by CR Wiley. Beyond loving the book and holding the author in high regard, the Rebels unpack the practical implications of a book they both found profoundly helpful.

With the leaked Supreme Court decision and the overturning of Roe v Wade there will be no shortage of opportunities for Christians to engage in this topic. Conversations are popping up with the news and the glee and anger being expressed from various media outlets around the world. P Nate and Pootie will leave the legal analysis and cultural predictions to more capable folks... but what we want to do is help equip YOU for conversations as you faithfully look for opportunities to engage the culture and those in it in your sphere of influence.

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?
