Contra Mundum

In the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, is tested by God through dreams and trials to recognize His sovereignty. Initially, he acknowledges God due to divine interventions like the miraculous survival of Daniel's friends from a fiery furnace, but his faith remains superficial. God sends a second dream of a great tree being cut down to a stump, symbolizing Nebuchadnezzar's pride and impending fall. Daniel interprets this as a warning of Nebuchadnezzar's fate to live like a beast, which happens after a year of unchecked pride. This divine judgment leads to his eventual repentance and restoration, teaching him and illustrating to others that true leadership under God involves humility and acknowledgment of divine authority. The narrative serves as a lesson on divine sovereignty, the importance of repentance, and the ideal of Christian kingship, urging modern leaders and nations towards humility and recognition of God's ultimate rule.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego’s refusal to bow down to the golden image and willingness to burn in the fiery furnace is the 21st Century Christian’s refusal to bow down to the gods of ‘Our Democracy.’

Many people have heard those in the online right use the phrase "Post-War Consensus" as a sort of shorthand for cultural and political narrative surrounding contemporary liberal ideas.Dr. Paul Gottfried joins us today to define precisely what it is (and what it is NOT), discuss the history behind it, whether or not the post-war consensus is collapsing and, if so, what will the future look like?

The book of Daniel intertwines themes of God's sovereignty over earthly empires with his time's spiritual and political dynamics, focusing on God's revelation through dreams and visions to assert His ultimate control over history. Nebuchadnezzar, confronted by his own dreams, finds his pagan magicians powerless to interpret, leading to a decree of death. Through divine intervention, Daniel interprets the dream and explains its prophetic significance—detailing the rise and fall of successive world empires, symbolized by a statue with parts made of different metals. This narrative underscores a progression from worship to mere tolerance of God by successive empires, culminating with the advent of Christ, depicted as a stone that destroys the statue and grows into a mountain, representing God's kingdom. This story serves as an encouragement for believers to trust in God's enduring kingdom amidst the fleeting powers of earthly rulers, emphasizing that divine wisdom and intervention surpass human understanding and control.

The politics that Big Eva pushes upon American evangelicals is a disaster for our country.Recently one of the biggest figures in Big Eva, Matt Chandler, preached a sermon on politics. We invited Stephen Wolfe to join us in breaking down just how awful the ideas and thinking in this sermon are, and to give an alternative vision for conservative evangelical political thought.

Is the Bible patriarchal? Does feminism reject the fundamental realities of the Christian faith?Today we discuss the church, feminism, masculinity, and all things related with the author of Masculine Christianity and Honor Thy Fathers, Zachary Garris.

The passage outlines how Daniel and his friends, taken captive to Babylon, represent God's people amidst spiritual warfare against pagan gods. Despite being culturally assimilated through renaming and possible emasculation, Daniel resolves not to defile himself with the king's food, symbolizing a refusal to fully submit to Babylon's ways. Miraculously, God blesses their faithfulness with health and wisdom, surpassing Babylon's wise men, illustrating that even in captivity, God's sovereignty prevails as His people remain faithful, foreshadowing the eventual defeat of Babylon. This story calls believers today to similar steadfastness against modern cultural and ideological pressures, trusting in God's ultimate victory over opposing forces.
