Reformation, Renewal and Political Discourse with Dr. Tom Ascol Oct 19, 2024

Show notes

As we contemplate the recovery of the gospel and the renewal of culture in relation to our apologetic mandate, we are left to ask, in what way can we influence the theology and practical direction of the broader evangelical church? And is such influence to be seen as hermetically sealed off from matters relating to public life? Dr. Tom Ascol of Founders Ministries and the Institute of Public Theology joins Steven R. Martins for this episode of The Apologist to discuss how he and several others have been at work recovering, reforming, and inching towards renewal, while also addressing the need for the church to increasingly engage in public, political discourse. As Ascol explains, far from being solely a theological statement, "Christ is Lord" is very much political in nature.

Martins sits down with economics philosopher Dr. Adolfo Garcia de la Sienra Guajardo to discuss how the Christian worldview relates to economics.

The Apocalypse and a Christian View of History with David Forsythe Jun 03, 2024

Why Christian education? With secular educational institutions across the country, why do we need to set that aside and not even consider that as an option for the education of our children? Ryan Eras of the Wolf's Head House and Chairmaster of the Niagara Classical Academy answers those questions and provides an introduction to Christian classical education. In such a time as this, we need an apologetic for "Why Christian Education?"

What is Cultural Marxism? with Dr. Andrew Sandlin Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

The terms "Cultural Marxism", "Social Justice", and "Woke" have been dropped on previous episodes of The Apologist podcast, but the occasions did not allow us to go into depth on what these terms actually mean. As part of a much larger discussion, cultural theologian Dr. Andrew Sandlin joins us to kick off our exploration of the definition, development, and history of the present-day cultural Marxist movement. As Christians called to engage the culture with a distinctly biblical apologetic (1 Pet. 3:15), we need to be aware of that rampant ideology which has taken an iron-hold grip of our Western society if we hope to respond with a biblically faithful and culturally relevant witness.
