We start off fighting with a cheap plastic recorder that won’t cooperate and complaining about all the trash showing up now that the snow is melting. Then things take a hard turn when we talk about the morning we found a stranger sitting on our living room couch at 5:30 AM. That moment changes how we see our own habits. Leaving the doors unlocked used to feel normal, even harmless. After that morning, it feels careless, and we end up installing an auto-locking digital system. One unexpected person on a couch is enough to turn a casual routine into a security upgrade. From there, we wander into some childhood memories—like techniques for flattening hamsters and lizards. It’s uncomfortable and a little funny in hindsight, but mostly it’s about how small mistakes had very real results. We also talk about AI, comparing it to a nervous friend who sounds confident but gets things wrong. That leads us into a debate about the tangled timeline in Primer and how some kids somehow guess the twist in The Sixth Sense right away. We wrap up by unpacking why hearing “you did your best” can feel like a quiet insult—like the recorder that won’t play right, the door that now locks itself, and the headlamp shining on a problem we didn’t want to see.

In this episode of the podcast for cultural reformation, Nate Wright and Dr. Michael Thiessen continue the Think Christianly series by examining the relationship between the Church, the Kingdom of God, and the mission of God’s people. Is the Church’s mission merely personal piety, church growth, political activism, or evangelism alone? Drawing from Dr. Joe Boot’s Think Christianly, they argue that the kingdom of God is the comprehensive rule and reign of Christ over every sphere of life—not something confined to Sunday worship or outsourced to the state. When that vision is reduced, Christians drift into either “churchianity” or a politicized view of the kingdom. The episode unpacks worship beyond Sunday, the distinction between the Church as institute and organism, sphere sovereignty, the central (but not exhaustive) role of evangelism, and the danger of sacred/secular dualism. Ultimately, the gospel calls believers into a world-encompassing mission: all of life lived under the lordship of King Jesus.

I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city or county to pray for every single day. Please send any questions or comments to our new, secure email: chinacompass@privacyport.com. You can also find China Compass on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/c/chinacompass), which not only allows for donations, but also lets me sort episodes into various collections, making it easier to find all the shows on a certain topic or person. Last but not least, nearly everything else we are involved in can be found at PrayGiveGo.us! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. Receive prayer requests like the following in your inbox by subscribing @ ChinaPartnership.org: This week, we’ll pray for imprisoned Christians in Northwest China. Sister J is the wife of Pastor S, who was arrested in 2023. She shared that on the arrest day they were “terrified—really scared,” and said, “I couldn’t even pray. All day I just kept repeating: ‘Lord, what should I do? Please help me.’” Pray that the Lord would meet Sister J with His peace, calm her fear, and gently guide her one step at a time. Sister J shared an update: the appeal has concluded, and the original sentence was upheld. Please pray for Pastor S as he enters this next season in prison—pray for endurance and hope, and that the Lord would open practical doors for communication, needed support, and opportunities to encourage others. Sister J described the early detention hardships of her husband: “During the first three months—the lawyer wasn’t allowed to meet him,” and “he didn’t have proper clothing and supplies. The first year he was in, his hands and feet and ears were all frostbitten.” Pray that God would protect Pastor S physically. Sister J also said her prayers for Pastor S have changed: “Lord, please let him be light and salt in detention and in prison—let him live out the likeness of Christ.” Pray that the Lord would strengthen Pastor S’s faith and make his life a clear witness of Christ in detention and prison. Sister J asked for prayer for her own spiritual stability: “My faith fluctuates a lot… so that in any environment I won’t be shaken, even in fear and anxiety I will still stand firm.” Pray that God would root Sister J in His Word, steady her emotions, and give her enduring faith and courage. Sister J shared that when she once asked who could help if her husband were arrested, Pastor S said, “There’s no one. Let me pray. Let me ask God.” She later testified that God provided caring believers and reminded her, “I’m not alone.” Pray that God would continue to surround Sister J with strong fellowship. Sister J shared: “Right now, the business can sustain me and my child’s living expenses.” But she also said, “My child’s body is very weak… almost once a month—fever and colds. So please pray for her health.” Thank the Lord for providing their daily needs, and pray that He would heal and strengthen her child’s body, giving her health and strength.

Are Christians getting their priorities out of order? In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman sits down with Pennsylvania State Representative Joe D’Orsie for a thoughtful, candid conversation on one of the most uncomfortable questions facing modern believers: Should Christians put their own country first? Together they explore the tension between global missions and local responsibility, the proper “order of loves,” and why many Christians feel torn between political concerns and spiritual duties. “Do you think Christians today are imbalanced between missions and politics?” https://abwe.org/ https://repjoed.com/

Welcome to the kitchen table, Neighbor. John admits he often talks to himself... And that leads to a discussion about how to not go crazy if you're ever stuck on a deserted island...

Today the guys reflect on an essay in the February 2026 edition of First Things by Liel Leibovitz entitled, AI as Liberation.

Today David explains why he said last week that the use to which evangelicals have put the U.S. Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Free Exercise Clause “diminishes the glory of Christ respecting what Christ accomplished on the Cross.” Find out how evangelicals failed to deliver what the Founding Father's expected from Christians to make "permanent" the "free government" they established, and what Christians can do going forward.

We started by talking about our musical instruments, which we loved deeply in theory and stored carelessly in reality, proving that passion and maintenance are not the same skill set. In high school we somehow managed to be both band kids and athletes, demonstrating that blowing into brass and colliding with linebackers can coexist as long as no one asks too many questions. We treated our instruments like priceless treasures while also leaving them in car trunks during temperature swings that would alarm a meteorologist. Naturally this led us to celebrity culture, where authenticity is expected to be spontaneous but professionally managed at all times. We used Kid Rock as an example, mostly because nothing says “quiet spiritual reflection” like stadium lighting and pyrotechnics. We discussed how celebrities are supposed to represent their faith publicly, but only in ways that don’t inconvenience their brand managers. We wrestled with the idea that when a famous person talks about Christianity, we immediately suspect a marketing strategy, yet when they don’t talk about it, we suspect cowardice, which is a terrific system. Wealth came up, because apparently following Jesus is simple until your house has more square footage than the New Testament. We examined how fame turns every belief into a press release and every doubt into a headline. Hollywood, of course, typecasts everyone, including people who are just trying to have a thought, which makes it difficult to be a nuanced human when you’ve already been labeled “The Faith Guy.” We reflected on interviews, where the goal is often to sound natural while answering pre-approved questions in a room full of lighting equipment. In the end we concluded that genuine conversation is surprisingly rare, mostly because it involves two people talking without a script, which in modern media qualifies as reckless behavior.

In this final AmFest 2025 episode, we reflect on the cultural shift unfolding before us. Public leaders are naming Christ. Christian language is re-entering the public square. But is this a revival, a political moment, or simply a starting point? We discuss the dangers of pietism, the church’s failure to disciple nations, and the need to clearly proclaim the lordship of Jesus Christ in every sphere — politics, art, law, and beyond. The Great Commission is not just about private faith. It’s about teaching nations to obey Christ. The real question isn’t whether culture is shifting — it’s whether the church will steward the moment faithfully.

When customers shop on price alone, most business owners assume that's the nature of their market. But commoditization isn't inevitable. It's what happens when you fail to give customers a reason to choose you beyond simply cost. Commodity-type pricing isn't a market condition you're stuck with. It's a result of your lack of value-differentiation.

On this episode of the Crosspolitic's 10 Shots of Sanity Series, Knox, Toby, and Gabe expose how the viral outrage over Nancy Wilson's spanking story reveals America's complete abandonment of 3,000 years of biblical wisdom on raising children. We trace the unbroken line from the rejection of the rod to overflowing prisons, warehouses for the elderly, and a generation paralyzed by anxiety despite receiving the most therapy in history. Its made clear that once the West decided discipline was abuse, everything from gentle parenting to toxic empathy to a multi-trillion dollar hole in the American economy became not just possible, but inevitable. The only path forward? A return to what built Western civilization in the first place: a biblical household.

Special Edition: Last Friday, I said I thought the use by evangelicals of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Free Exercise Clause emphasis on “religious acts” to mean protection for certain for civil conduct “diminishes the glory of Christ respecting what Christ accomplished on the Cross.” The following quotations from one of the leading Puritans on the dominion of sin and Christian liberty will be helpful preparation for this Friday's explanation of what I previously said.

In this episode, the Pugsters discuss the relationship between nature and grace. In theology, this usually deals with how the two work in human life, and that’s where the guys start. But the topic can be bigger than that, so Glenn leads the discussion into whether grace can be conveyed through the physical world, such as the elements in the Lord’s Supper, and whether places can become sanctified or the opposite. It’s a wide-ranging conversation around topics that Reformed guys don’t often talk about.

When a prospect asks you for a discount, what do you do? Most salespeople negotiate. They justify the price, explain the value, maybe split the difference.

On this week’s China Compass, we cover a number of varied news items (and personal stories), including the ones in the title. The Chinese pot bust is at about ½ way point, and my story of running from the Chinese police (for the sake of my little children!) is about ¾ way to the end. My kids are currently in the middle of their first solo trip into China, and things seem to be going well so far. Here’s what we had to do (practically) to get them ready to survive in 2026 China… VPNs for every device Configure Chinese payment apps (Oops!)

People use Jesus' reply to Pilot, "My kingdom is not of this world" to claim we should have nothing to do with the world, specifically politics and culture. We're about saving souls and such. I seek to disabuse Pietistic Christians of this notion in this episode. We're not to escape the world but to transform it in obedience to the Great Commission. https://mikedvirgilio.com/

What is the relationship between the protestant understanding of the doctrine of original sin and the purpose of First Amendment’s Free Exercise of Religion Clause? The U.S. Supreme Court's failure to consider that doctrine has made its interpretation of that clause wrong. But I believe its interpretation and evangelical reliance on it for protecting civil conduct demeans the gospel. It was for good reason that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story warned "the future experience of Christendom" would be determined by the duties assigned to our nation's churches by the Free Exercise Clause.

I offer the following explanation of Romans 7:20-21 by John Owen from 1667 that I hope provides a better understanding of the effect the “dominion of sin” has on what we can expect from our politic enagement and be helpful to understanding better the importance of tomorrow’s email about the real purpose of First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause.

We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, which is another way of saying we wandered bravely from topic to topic with the confidence of people who believe curiosity is a form of planning. It started with musical dreams, which immediately ran into taxes, because nothing crushes artistic ambition faster than discovering the government would also like a solo. From there we examined the mysterious phenomenon of celebrity wealth, which turns out to be mostly an illusion created by sunglasses, confidence, and someone else paying for lunch. Naturally this led us to government conspiracies, because once you realize famous people don’t have as much money as you think, it’s only a short hop to assuming someone is hiding something. We discussed survival skills for the collapse of society, a scenario everyone is very confident about despite having trouble assembling IKEA furniture. The Doomsday Clock came up, which is reassuring because it’s good to know the end of the world is being managed by people who own a clock. We also talked about zombies, because every serious discussion eventually circles back to zombies, the one apocalypse we’ve fully rehearsed thanks to television. Along the way we touched on personal health journeys, which mostly involve learning what foods now hate us, and food preferences, which are deeply emotional and should never be questioned. Black pepper emerged as a cultural force, gold mining as an economic mystery, and hibernation as an underutilized lifestyle choice for anyone tired of the news. In the end, the conversation proved that modern life is complicated, confusing, and possibly ending soon, but at least we can laugh about it while seasoning our food aggressively and considering a long nap.

In this episode of The Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Dr. Joe Boot to walk through key clips from Joe’s keynote address at TPUSA’s AmFest. Joe explains how a last-minute shift—from a planned debate to a 13-minute mainstage address—became a providential opportunity to present Ezra’s core message: the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the all-encompassing reality of the Kingdom of God. Together, Nate and Joe challenge the idea that cultural renewal is primarily political, exposing the myth of neutrality and showing why every sphere of life is ultimately directed either toward Christ or away from Him. The conversation also presses a recovering theme in the Church today: Christ is King, whether you believe it or not—and the gospel is not a self-help invitation, but a proclamation of the King and His advancing Kingdom. A timely episode for anyone wrestling with the limits of “Christless conservatism” and looking for a truly biblical vision of cultural reformation.

Today we look at how we can pray for the persecuted Christians in Iran, and other Muslim-majority nations, where believers are isolated and word is scarce. Hebrews 13:3 is a good reminder in these situations, as well. I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I share a new Chinese city or county to pray for every single day. Please send any questions or comments to our new, secure email: chinacompass@privacyport.com.

Everything else we are involved in can be found at PrayGiveGo.us! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

Leaders cast vision, explain strategy, lay out plans. But not every leader is successful at rallying people to a better future. Yes, much of it has to do with the leader's character and presence, for sure. But his ability to communicate the vision in a way that is clear and enticing is fundamental to his leadership. You must give people something to rally toward.
