Ep 64Rethinking Theology

For Rushdoony, theology had a single purpose which was to move Christians to faith and action, but are we studying our Bibles for that reason? God gave us His Word for a reason.

Ep 63The Missing Piece in Christian Education

The Chalcedon Podcast - Ep. 63 Christian education is more than a "Christian curriculum." It must have as its end goal the creation of a new leadership to rethink and reconstruct every area of life. Rushdoony said, "Slowly and steadily we will be driven to two options: socialism or Christian Reconstruction, since they are both means to dominion." Discover why that's the case and what to do about it. Hosted by Mark Rushdoony, Martin Selbrede, and Andrea Schwartz 🎧The audio version of this podcast is also available on iTunes and Spotify.

Ep 60Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 60 - The Sociology of the Sabbath

The Sabbath is more than a day of rest. It reminds us of God's completed work in creation and redemption while pointing to the victorious future in Christ.

Since R. J. Rushdoony founded the Chalcedon Foundation in 1965, the times have changed, but that has not altered the mission and message of Christian Reconstruction.

Ep 55Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 55 - Christianity & Cultural Decline

Modern culture is unraveling—law divorced from morality, education detached from truth, and entertainment replacing virtue with vice. As society embraces death and decadence, Christians are called to resist the collapse by rebuilding from the ground up: strong families, faithful churches, and education rooted in God's Word and moral accountability.

Ep 53Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 53 - Theology of the Land

The Word of God has much to say about land and property and their connection to liberty. The Bible has so much to say about land that Rushdoony included an entire section about the theology of the land in his two-volume Systematic Theology.

Ep 52Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 52 - Revolt Against Maturity

Psychology is the domain of theology because God's Word speaks directly to man's condition as a sinner in rebellion to God's will. In this sense, man is revolting against the maturity God calls him to, and that rebellion is the root of his psychological dilemma.

Ep 51Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 51 - Eschatology & Restoring God's Order

Contemporary views of eschatology have little to do with Christian ethics and responsibilities, but Biblical eschatology focuses on "end points" in history that deal with the end of what opposes God and is followed by the restoration of godly order.

Ep 50Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 50 - Great and False Expectations

Man's end-of-the-world mentality refuses to believe history will continue beyond their time, and Christians are often guilty of insisting the end is near, resulting in a paralyzing of their duties. Christianity becomes unessential because societal concerns are irrelevant. Our expectations of the end are false, leaving us with a superficial faith.

Ep 49Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 49 - Purposeful Work

Work is a central part of a faithful Christian life as one embraces and fulfills their dominion calling to labor six days regardless of the type of work they do. The Kingdom of God is the greater purpose work serves, and this purpose also extends to children.

Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 48 - The Tower of Babel

Rushdoony wrote, "The goal of Babel was a radical unity against God and a unified social order… total community without God," and fallen man continues his quest for modern Babels as "a substitute for Eden." The results are always dystopian. Hosted by Mark Rushdoony, Martin Selbrede, and Andrea Schwartz 🎧The audio version of this podcast is also available on iTunes and Spotify.

Chalcedon Podcast Ep. 47 - Rushdoony on Prayer
