Psalms that Curse with Sean McGowan Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

Should Christians pray the imprecatory Psalms? Many notable Christian voices, including C.S. Lewis, say 'no.' However, we find the imprecatory Psalms on the lips of New Testament authors and Christ. So what's the verdict? In this episode I talk with Sean McGowan, a PCA pastor, about his book, Psalms that Curse. The book makes the case that Psalms of imprecation are important for believers to pray today, and we talk about the biblical argument for doing so.

Why Men Want Churches That Challenge Them Mar 19, 2022

Show notes

Send us a text!

In the American church today, the standard philosophy when it comes to attracting men is that you set the barrier for entry as low as possible. You ask little to nothing from men, you don’t expect much from them by way of attention span or effort, and you try to make the service as much like a rock concert or sporting event as possible. In effect, we treat our men like Homer J. Simpson (a moron) or Ned Flanders (effeminate), and are then surprised when the competent men aren't present.What men are attracted to, however, is risk, danger, and the promise of reward. When men have real mission, real challenges, and a high barrier for entry, they are fully engaged.Show Notes:

In this episode, I talk with Dave and Kyle from Reformed Operator about why God so often prefers to work through faithful men serving as warriors for His cause. Such was the case with the Rhodesian SAS and Selous Scouts, which we talk about in this episode. We also talk about Kyle's recent article, Who Dares Wins, about the Rhodesian SAS. We talk about what Guerilla Theology is, why it's important, and how you can develop a "Minuteman Mindset."Show Notes:

Or is it quietly fueling a massive societal implosion?In this episode, we'll talk about the six main lies that would cause you to not live well in your 20s. Next episode, we'll deal with the positive things you can focus on in your 20s that will set you up well for decades to come. What's worth investing in? We'll talk about that, too.Show Notes:

Why ‘Churchianity’ is Destroying America Jan 09, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, I talk about 'Churchianity,' an insidious teaching in the church that, like the Matrix, is hidden everywhere in plain sight. It explains The Gospel Coalition and why so many evangelical pastors have gone Woke. The term comes from Dr. Joe Boot of the Ezra Institute, whose writings also helped shape my thoughts on pietism.Show Notes:
