Think & Reform

73. On Eastern Orthodoxy

Luke concentrates this episode on one man's journey from Southern Baptism to Eastern Orthodoxy and highlights EO's emphasis on tradition and the church fathers at cost to the scriptures, frequently asking the all-important question: is the Bible enough?

72. On Worms and Whoop-A**: the Two Cans of Pastor Tony Spell

A short "Ask a Theonomist" episode as Luke discusses the infamous events surrounding Pastor Tony Spell's chastisement of a heckler and how God's Law addresses threats and insults.

71. Islam and the Political System Of Our Fathers

Lots of content today! We replay a clip of Webbon and juxtapose it with retired journalist Colin Brazier's fear of social media censoring, then Luke reacts to a video of Muslims broadcasting their quite obvious plan to use the American political system for jihad, followed by a video of historian Tom Holland's observations on the origin of rights. After this, we criticize two anons caught in the act of their desire for ethnic cleansing, and conclude with a lawyer abusing (utilizing?) the myriads of laws for his own benefit in a deposition.

70. Ask a Theonomist: The Bricks and Minifigs Scandal

Luke begins today's episode by discussing the prophetic voice of the church, explaining why Christians who prioritize pragmatism often fail to be truly practical. He then shifts gears to a bizarre community drama: YouTuber Wreckless Ben’s quest to restore $200,000 worth of Legos to their original owner while fighting corruption from a Bricks & Minifigs franchise owner.

69. On the "Statement On Christian Nationalism and the Gospel" and the Problem of Doug Wilson's "Theonomy"

We begin today's episode reacting to a reel of a question on abortion, followed by a comparison of Joel Webbon's signature on the "Statement On Christian Nationalism" and what he believes now, concluding with critiquing a Q and A session with Doug Wilson, Toby Sumpter, and Jared Longshore. 

68. The High Cost of General Equity

In today's episode, Luke begins a discussion on the role of tradition in politics and reason, followed by reviewing a stalker receiving justice even though those who dispensed it were afraid that they would be sued, and finally a reaction to part 2 of Reformation Red Pill's interview with Stephen Wolfe. 

67. Romans 13 Does Not Say Nor Teach "Obey Until They Ask You To Sin"

Luke first addresses "Ask a Theonomist" on AI-generated pornography and reads SB593 (an Oklahoma bill designed to outlaw porn written by Dusty Deevers), then moves on to the relaxed approach of God's law to "nuance," finishing with an email sent to Pastor Matt Kenitzer of Future of Christendom asking detailed questions regarding Romans 13 and taking issue with Future of Christendom's teaching of God's law and reform!    

66. The Pagan Roots of Wolfian Nationalism

Today we start things off with a discussion on how none of the reformers told us to be traditionalists, then Luke responds to Kristin Hawkins inability to deal with a consistently bankrupt worldview, followed by reacting to Reformation Red Pill's interview of Stephen Wolfe, concluding with a comparison of Christ-like archetypes in Hollywood!   

65. Emilio Ramos Fears God's Law (Because Handmaid's Tale)

We begin today's episode with Pastor Ron Kronz's evaluation of the effect of dispensationalism on the western mind, followed by Idaho State Senator Brandon Shippy's interview on the unstable relationship between a legislature and its people, and then we react to Emilio Ramos' heavy-handed and strange criticism of theonomic postmillennialism!  

64. What Happened to Doug Wilson?

Responding to several reels and shorts in this episode, including Brian Sauve's faux pas regarding the "chapter and verse" discussion, James Baird's remark on the "principles" of God's Law, the "general equity" of paintball guns, and Doug Wilson's sounding more like a politician than a pastor, plus commentary on the aesthetic preaching of Hollywood! Thanks for listening!
