The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the right of Jeb Stuart. In my cultural sympathies, if we were comparing the blight of postmodernism to a vast but shallow goo pond, I would observe that I have spent many years on these stilts and have barely gotten any of it on me.

5GW, Invisible Borders, and the Politics of Swarms Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

Technology in warfare can certainly evolve and develop in ways that do not disrupt our basic understanding of what is going on. From the day that two tribes were throwing rocks at each other to the time when two nation states were launching missiles at each other, with the era of trebuchets in between, everyone understands the basic concept involved. All of it is right-handed warfare, with the projectiles simply differing in weight, speed, and behavior on impact.

Why I Don’t Mind Talking About the 19th Amendment Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

Over the last year or so, from time to time you may have wondered to yourself why I have taken it into my head to go around talking about the 19th Amendment so much. This, along with my supposed interest in repealing the right of women to vote. Why on earth would I ever do something like that? Well, you can’t expect me to talk about slavery all the time, can you?

Candace and the Bathtub Admirals Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

So when die-hard defenders of Candace try to say, as they will try to say, “Candace never said that Erika Kirk was in on the plot to kill Charlie!” or “Candace never denied that Tyler Robinson did it!” the reply should be, “Roll the tape.” And the way you can tell that radical relativism is the captain of their mental ship now is that rolling the tape does not matter to them in the slightest.

To the Jews a Stumbling Block Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

In my last letter, I was emphasizing the prophetic office of Christ. He was the greater prophet who had been promised by Moses (Deut. 18:15). But I also need to present Christ to you as the one who holds two additional offices. John Calvin famously described the Lord’s three combined offices as the crucial offices of prophet, priest, and king.

Birthrights and Black Pills Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

The Supreme Court’s failure last week to uphold the president’s executive order on birthright citizenship was genuinely disappointing. At the same time, it should not be an occasion for outrage or despair. There is all kinds of maneuvering room here. And. when you have maneuvering room, there are better things to do than to screech about it online. Let us pull ourselves together.

Throwing Jello for Jesus Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

So, America. Happy birthday to you. You are now 250 years old, which is halfway to 500. We still have plenty of time to fix all of this. Don’t let the astonishing fact of commies getting elected interfere with your celebrations. That is like coming down with a case of the shingles, but you still get your birthday presents...

Standing in the Rubble of Testimony Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

In this letter, I am going to start with the understanding that you have a high respect for Scripture. Although you are not yet at the point of affirming complete faith in its divine inspiration, you do take the prophets seriously, and have some sense of scriptural authority. You grew up with it, and it is deep within you.

No Enemies Inside the Castle Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

We are going to be talking about Nazis in just a bit, but we need to start with something else first. Bear with me. It will all flow together shortly, as when you fold whipped egg whites into the batter for chiffon cake. Something like that, at any rate. One searches for the right words.

By the Rivers of an Everlasting Babylon Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

If He did not rise, then as the apostle Paul noted, we Christians are the most pitiable creatures ever (1 Cor. 15:19). If He did rise from the dead, then He is the promised Messiah that the entire Old Testament was pointing toward. That would make the Jews the most to be pitied. This would mean that the ingenuity of a thousand rabbis can’t put the Old Testament jig saw puzzle together . . .

Land Acknowledgements and the Problem of Israel Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

So let us talk about that impotent contemporary ritual called the “land acknowledgment.” Nowadays when an event or activity is going to be taking place somewhere, or an institution is opening, the proceedings will often begin with a land acknowledgment. This is a little empty gesture recognizing the indigenous people who used to live there. Along with the implication that nothing will be done about it.
