Priorities

Is creating wealth a spiritual calling? In this episode, we explore the biblical and practical importance of productive work. Drawing on insights from English writer Graham Dawson, we challenge the modern hostility toward wealth creation and examine how failing to connect the material and spiritual has led to selfishness, idleness, and societal decay. True charity, Dawson argues, begins at work. Christ calls us to seek first the Kingdom—not comfort. Our labor should serve God's purposes, not just our pleasures.

Pragmatism

What happens when truth no longer matters—only success? In this thought-provoking episode, we trace how modern politics and culture have embraced a dangerous form of pragmatism where “what works” replaces what’s right. From 1850s Boston to today’s halls of power, unprincipled pragmatism has eroded judgment, paralyzed morality, and replaced hope with hollow victories. If you’ve ever wondered why so much feels broken—even when things seem to be working—this conversation will challenge your assumptions and point to a deeper foundation worth building on.

How Does the Supreme Court Make Those Decisions?

How do nine justices turn a few words of the Constitution into sweeping national rulings?—with logic as broad as the Republic... and maybe just a splash of rum.

The Antichurch Within the Church

There’s a battle raging within the walls of the church—but it’s not just about doctrine or tradition. It’s a full-scale revolt against God Himself. In this episode, we expose the rise of the antichurch—a movement inside Christianity determined to redefine truth, morality, and even God in man’s image. From seminaries to sanctuaries, this man-centered religion is infiltrating every denomination with a gospel of self-fulfillment and cultural conformity. But this is no mere theological dispute—it’s a war between the City of God and the city of man. If you’ve sensed that something is deeply wrong in the modern church, this episode will name the danger and call you to take your stand.

De Toqueville on Democracy and Power

Tocqueville argues that democratic individualism—by dissolving all “secondary powers” (family, church, guilds, local privileges)—leaves only the state as the sole authority, concentrating power in its hands and isolating citizens into a “lonely crowd” susceptible both to anarchic rebellion and to totalitarian control. As ties between persons weaken, individuals resent any privilege, demand uniformity, and empower the central government to enforce equality—even at the cost of freedom and familial or religious autonomy. He foresees state takeover of education, industry, and private life, risking perpetual infantilization of citizens, yet he insists democracy’s spirit of independence and mobility, aided by printing and free discussion, can equip each generation to safeguard liberty. Ultimately, Tocqueville urges us not to resurrect aristocracy but to guide democracy toward freedom rather than servitude by nurturing those intermediary loyalties and moral restraints it tends to erode.

Spiritual Junk Food Junkies

Some churchgoers want neither spiritual milk nor meat—they crave junk food. This episode tackles the problem of "spiritual junk food junkies"—those who resist growth, reject conviction, and treat Jesus like a spare tire, useful only in emergencies. True Christian faith is not about comfort or convenience; it’s about surrender, maturity, and a willingness to say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant hears.”

Can Jiu-Jitsu Help Men with Their Dominion Mandate? (Cody Imboden)

In this episode of Out of the Question, we tackle an unexpected question: can a martial art like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu play a role in fulfilling the dominion mandate given to men by God? Through a candid and thought-provoking conversation, we explore how physical discipline, controlled strength, and brotherhood can help men grow in character, responsibility, and godly authority. Tune in for a fresh take on masculinity, mastery, and what it means to press forward in faith—on and off the mat.

Love and Obedience

Is love without obedience really love at all? In this episode, we explore the biblical foundation that places obedience—not sentiment—at the heart of both the Old and New Covenants. Drawing on insights from Leviticus scholar R.K. Harrison and the words of Christ Himself, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15), we confront the modern tendency to reduce love to emotion, disconnected from action. True love for God is demonstrated through faithful obedience—a theme as urgent today as ever.

What is Man Like?

Why do people trade freedom for comfort? In this episode, we reflect on the Israelites’ longing for Egypt’s “leeks and garlic” over the freedom God had given them. Despite slavery and oppression, they craved security over faith. Today, many make the same trade—seeking state-provided ease at the cost of liberty and responsibility. Drawing from Numbers 11 and modern parallels, we ask: Are we becoming a generation unfit for freedom? And will our failure to embrace faith lead us to a self-made wilderness?

How to Live with Yourself - Part 4: Bearing the World on Your Shoulders

In this episode, we explore the burden of trying to carry the world alone. Many, like the mythical Atlas, feel obligated to worry over every crisis and shoulder every weight. But Scripture reminds us that we aren’t meant to bear life’s burdens on our own. Instead, we’re called to trust God, who alone carries the weight of the world. Through prayer and surrender, we find peace—not in control, but in letting go.

Tempting God (Remastered)

Is it ever right to lie? Scripture says, “Thou shalt not bear false witness”—but what about Rahab, who lied to save the spies and was praised for her faith? What about the Hebrew midwives, who lied to protect covenant children—and were blessed by God? In this episode, we tackle the hard edge of biblical ethics and ask: have we confused Christian obedience with pagan moralism? If telling the truth leads to murder, is it still righteous? You’ll hear why abstract truth-telling can become a tool of evil, and how real holiness means standing for God’s law—even if it means lying to Pharaoh.

The People of Salt

What does it truly mean to be “the salt of the earth”? In this episode, we uncover the rich biblical meaning behind salt—not just as a seasoning, but as a preserving force against corruption. Drawing on Matthew 5 and the “covenant of salt” found in Scripture, we explore the Christian’s calling to uphold God’s truth, resist moral decay, and actively establish Christ’s reign in every sphere of life. Being salt and light isn’t symbolic—it’s a covenantal duty rooted in God's enduring peace and rule.

Basilicas

What if your church wasn’t just a sanctuary—but a throne room? In this episode, we uncover the radical and regal identity of the early church: not a quiet corner of private faith, but the visible court of Christ the King, proclaiming His law, teaching His people, and confronting emperors with holy boldness. From its architecture to its authority, the basilica declared that Jesus—not Caesar—is Lord. As today’s churches drift from that vision, we ask: what would it mean to reclaim our identity as the King's people under His royal law? Don’t miss this challenge to restore the church’s true calling—as the courtroom of the Kingdom.

Taxation

What makes a tax immoral? In this episode, we reflect on King David’s sinful census (1 Chron. 21:1) and explore how pride, power, and control through taxation can become spiritual issues. Drawing connections between biblical history and modern governance, we discuss the moral implications of taxation, the warning from John Marshall that “the power to tax is the power to destroy,” and the deeper truth that unjust systems reflect the hearts of the people. The solution isn’t revolt—but repentance. Lasting change starts with a return to faith and morality.

Peace as a Right?

What do you get when you try to merge truth with lies, good with evil, Christ with Caesar? You get syncretism—a polite name for spiritual confusion and cultural collapse. In this episode, we expose how syncretism has become the dominant religion of our time, blending Christianity with humanism, socialism, and false peace. From politics to pulpits, people are demanding a god who saves everyone, judges no one, and blesses every worldview. But the God of Scripture is not a negotiator—He is exclusive, sovereign, and jealous for His truth. If you're ready to see through the comfortable lies of cultural Christianity and stand firm on uncompromising truth, this episode is your wake-up call.

Honest Work

What does it mean to live a fruitful Christian life? In this episode, we unpack Paul’s instruction in Titus 3:14, urging believers to be diligent in good works and honest labor. Far from endorsing idleness or dependency, Scripture calls Christians to live responsibly, work faithfully, and reflect God’s character through their vocations. We explore the early church’s stance on work, contrast it with today’s welfare culture, and ask a convicting question: Is our work honoring to God—or is He offended?

The False Focus

Is church about meeting personal needs—or seeking first the Kingdom of God? In this episode, we explore how well-meaning churchgoers can sometimes create barriers to worship by focusing on social expectations over spiritual priorities. Through real-life stories and thoughtful reflection, we examine the danger of reducing Christianity to personal fulfillment rather than God's righteousness. Drawing from Scripture and insights by theologian Herman Ridderbos, we challenge the listener to refocus faith not on what it does for us, but on what it reveals about God.

Have We Forgotten the Meaning of Sin?

We’ve softened sin with language that flatters the sinner. “I’m struggling with it” now replaces “I’m guilty of it.” But if we’re not calling it what God calls it, can we claim to be fighting it?

Has the Church Surrendered to Pride?

What was once called sin is now celebrated—even within churches. When the world sets the moral standard, the salt loses its flavor. The Church must choose between affirmation and allegiance to Christ. It must bring those in rebellion to repentance, and that begins with a clear message.

B is for Behavior

In this episode of Preschool Pioneers, host Jeremy Walker explores the theme "B is for Behavior," examining how parental failures in discipline and moral guidance contribute to a generational decline in children's character and functionality. Drawing from his 25 years of professional experience in early childhood education and his role as a Christian minister and father of 11, Walker argues that children suffer when parents neglect to train them according to biblical standards and help them resist their natural tendency to rebel. He criticizes modern parenting and educational philosophies that shy away from authority and discipline, warning that such approaches create angry, disconnected, unproductive, and dangerous individuals. Emphasizing the need for moral clarity rooted in God’s law, he calls on Christian parents and educators to actively shape children’s understanding of right and wrong to prevent long-term societal and personal breakdowns.

Wealth and the State

Our faith should be an informed one because the God who created all things speaks to every sphere of life, and all facts should be studied in light of the revelation of God in Scripture. This is the foundation of Christian dominion. For R. J. Rushdoony, true government was the self-government of the Christian life in terms of God's law, so he wrote his position papers to better equip Christians to apply their faith to all of life. His objective was not to empower the state, or the organized church, but rather to call every person and institution to God's Word, which often put him at odds with both church and state.
