Out of the Question Podcast: Uncovering the Question Behind the Question

<p>It was a daunting task to assume the headship of Chalcedon after his father passed. Mark Rushdoony shares how he stepped into this position with the dual objective of preserving the legacy while continuing the work of furthering Christ’s Kingdom and the challenges he would face.</p>

<p>When it comes to matters of mutual concern, is it godly to join with those opposed to a Biblical worldview for the sake of a common cause? Are there limits to working together with unbelievers?</p>

<p>The agape feast of the New Testament celebrated our deliverance through Christ, but it has been reduced to a ritual in most churches. Listen as scholar Stephen Perks reveals how the Lord’s Supper is truly our Christian Passover.</p>

<p>When elected candidates fall short of biblical standards, what responsibility does a Christian have in choosing leaders? Is observing enough, or does the Bible demand action? Ricardo Davis speaks to this important question.</p>

<p>A recent book, <em>Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda</em>, by Megan Basham, highlights the fact that it’s easy to deceive Christians due to their theological ignorance. How discerning do church-attending Christians need to be?</p>

<p>What’s the proper Christian response to today’s moral decline? For some—as if they’re surprised by what sinful man does—being outraged is more important than engaging in real Kingdom work. If we truly hate sin, we should apply our faith continually. Service to God is faith and action, not outrage.</p>

<p>Great things can happen when like-minded men study God’s Word together to apply it to every area of life! Chalcedon’s weekly Men’s Roundtable—an online Bible study—is celebrating 10 years of doing just that, and co-host Chris Zimmerman takes time to share about this important work. Listen in.</p>

<p>When it comes to reading Scripture, how we approach it is crucial to understanding what God requires us to know and believe. Do you take it for what it says, or do you read into it what you want it to say.</p>

<p>What many readers of Rushdoony often miss was his blueprint for Christian civilization which began with exercising self-government in terms of Biblical law by creating alternate Christian institutions by way of the tithe. We did that with education by building private Christian schools or homeschooling. It’s time to expand the application because society’s decline will persist without institutions grounded in God’s justice. It’s time to seek His Kingdom by creating new, obedient structures that reflect His righteousness.</p>

<p>The family is God’s primary institution, and the victory we’re looking for requires the restoration of the family to the place for which God intended. Listen now to discover how this can happen as I’m joined by Christian attorney, Greg Treat.</p>

<p>Is There a Blueprint for Godly Living?</p>

<p>Since ancient times, items have been “sold in the marketplace,” but if faith is for all of life, how does a Christian salesperson apply God’s law to selling? Learn how God’s Word applies to one of the oldest occupations.</p>

<p>A song that used to be popular, “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands,” reflected a belief in the doctrine of God’s predestination. Sadly, there are those who fail to comprehend the magnificence of the biblical teaching on foreordination and election. This is the topic in this week’s Out of the Question Podcast.</p>

<p>Why Does the Bible Require Two Witnesses to Convict?</p>

<p>Do We Believe In God or Do We Believe God?</p>

<p>Fire is a recurring theme in Scripture for purification and destruction, but was this only for Biblical history, or is God still using fire to purify, judge, and destroy? If so, how can we recognize God’s contemporary use of “fire?” This episode will expand your understanding of eschatology as an ongoing phenomenon.</p>

<p>What were the church meetings like for the first Christians? Why did they meet? What did they do? Is there something we’ve been missing that should return to? Dr. Tom Wadsworth discusses that with us in this enlightening episode.</p>

<p>Why Is the Christian Artisan Necessary?</p>

<p>Do We Want to Be Lied To?</p>

<p>Is it better to share or live our faith when communicating the Gospel? The Scriptures are filled with calls to live by faith, walk by faith, and grow in faith, but we talk more about sharing our faith. Let’s explore this question!</p>

<p>Can You Name the Seven Deadly Sins?</p>

<p>Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords. This is a fact, and Christians should not shy away from proclaiming it openly and often. How has it become controversial? This is the subject of this Out of the Question Podcast episode.</p>

<p>Is the Battle for Christian Education Over?</p>

<p>What Does it Mean to Present Ourselves as Living Sacrifices?</p>

<p>Societies celebrate the genius and the hero, but they are destructive forces in history. God’s remedy is to raise up His people as prophets, priests, and kings who do the work of reconstruction and liquidate the idea of genius.</p>

<p>The Kingdom of God advances through Christian community and tithing, but the state moves to displace and replace all competitors of community, education, charity, and more. Here’s how we restore Christian community and godly rule.</p>

<p>Why is Storytelling an Important Tool in Furthering the Kingdom of God?</p>

<p>Ever felt the sting of disappointment or the weight of unmet expectations? Disappointment means “something appointed that didn’t take place,” but who appoints our paths, and what if the answer is transformative? The Biblical answer awaits!</p>

<p>How Do You Hear the Voice of God?</p>

<p>Jesus told His followers that the Holy Spirit would come upon them with power after His departure. Do we witness that power in evidence today, or have we settled for a minimal view of what that power entails?</p>

<p>Scripture warns us to beware of false prophets, but is there a sure way to determine whether someone is among the faithful or a wolf in sheep’s clothing? This is the topic for this Out of the Question Podcast episode.</p>

<p>Scripture warns us to beware of false prophets, but is there a sure way to determine whether someone is among the faithful or a wolf in sheep’s clothing? This is the topic for this Out of the Question Podcast episode.</p>

<p>We express our faith in someone when we go to them for accreditation and approval. Are the demands for controls and accreditation a first step towards creating a single and humanistic culture?</p>

<p>Are willpower and determination enough for people to change? Resolving to do or not do something at the beginning of the year is a common practice. But is it a biblical one? This is discussed in this episode of the Out of the Question Podcast.</p>

<p>Are You Qualified to Serve in the Kingdom?</p>

<p>When the event of the Incarnation is transformed into something quite different priorities can become confused and distorted. In this episode of the Out of the Question Podcast, the importance of lyrics in Christmas music is examined.</p>

<p>Too often we have not examined the presuppositions we bring to reading and understanding Scripture. Where you start will determine where you end up. Our interpretation of God’s Word often is clouded by things we believe, not knowing why we believe them. This subject is discussed in this episode of the Out of the Question Podcast.</p>

<p>Modern culture is waging a demonic war against God’s commandments toward life and fertility, and their love of death is seen in every area of life. Christians must understand this agenda and how we should approach it.</p>

<p>In an age of information overload, people can struggle with their beliefs and actions. Still, the faithful believer must be sure of theirs because God’s Word will often contradict conventional wisdom. Join us as we challenge some areas society deems “settled.”</p>

<p>In 2022, 90% of all Christian persecution deaths happened in Nigeria—an oil-producing nation of 220 million where the average income is less than $100/month. With thousands of Christians dying each year, there is a great need for aid, support, and equipping. Judd Saul shares how he’s doing that.</p>

<p>Is Patriarchy a Bad Thing?</p>

<p>In the 1960s, death itself was “redefined” to justify harvesting valued organs such as a heart or lungs while the patient was still alive. One could now be declared “brain dead” while their organs were still functional, but is brain death death? Dr. Heidi Klessig’s new book “The Brain Death Fallacy” seeks an answer.</p>

<p>One might think “being saved from hell” is the sum total of Christ’s work on our behalf until you realize redemption actually goes to the heart of every issue we deal with individually and as a society.</p>

<p>According to mainstream evangelicals, Israel retains a special status despite their denial of Jesus Christ. What, then, is the purpose of the church as spiritual Israel, and what does this mean for the future of Christianity?</p>

<p>Are the Only Two Choices God’s Law or Chaos?</p>

<p>What Does Modern Baal Worship Look Like?</p>

<p>What Does it Mean to Contend for the Faith?</p>
