In the Confessionalists podcast, ex. pilot and military strategist, Raymond Simmons presents social confessionalism: all-of-society confesses and covenants with King Jesus. This approach has a rich yet forgotten history. Many are considering strategic wit
Here we see some ways to actually have a recognized, institutional in our counties and in our states.
The recognized church exists today because Jesus recognizes it and gives it authority in society. It is a primary element of the new Christendom, and here we discuss the mindset and the strategy of getting it.
And some suggestions on how to improve upon the Established Church.In order to have righteous societies, we need an official, institutional Recognized Church in each state. This is the first episode in a series and begins the discussion on how we can get the Recognized Church at the local and state level.In the podcast, I mentioned an article by Dr. Joe Morecraft on the original version of the Westminster Confession vs. the American version. It's an interesting read that shows how America over-reacted against the doctrine of the Established Church.
Today's church misunderstands Romans 13 and therefore doesn't resist when it could or when it should. Dr. Kayser helps us understand that the authority to resist is given to saints by God.
Cyber Gnosticism is a separation of "real" life into "virtual" life, but biblically we don't have multiple lives. Confessionalism does not leave room for Christian nations in the "metaverse."
Chronological dualism divides today from tomorrow in ways it should not be divided. Confessionalism provides a better way, one that is in concert with God's view on today's ethical requirements.
Gnosticism is still hanging around, and our culture's sexual perversion is one of its bad offspring. Building off of C.R. Wiley's "Work with your hands," Ray shows that to "Confess with your mouth" as a society can deal a death blow to societal Gnosticism.
Ray analyzes President Biden's recent vaccine edict from a social confessionalism lens. OSHA cannot be biblically used. The 100-person business criteria helps march us toward family-run businesses and eventually all-of-society confession of King Jesus.

Counties, particularly rural counties, present a great opportunity for us to build local Christendom within a couple of decades. But what should we look for in a county? Here we discuss the types of things that are well-suited in order to build upon God's world in a comprehensive way.
Ray gives an example of developing and using criteria to determine what states are good for strategic relocation. Fathers may develop different criteria, but the idea is to come at it from a Kingdom ethic and personal calling approach.
How do you know when it's time to break camp and find a new spot? Ray gives us some metrics, based on the Bible, to decide when to move your family to a new location.
Many people are thinking about strategic relocation. Ray shows how confessionalism is a winsome answer to the questions of how and why to do that.
We missed something in our analysis: Land Curses are geographical in nature, tied to the area and the people who live there. Regaining the connection between our geography and our theology will allow us to set a good path out of curses and into blessings.
We are missing one of the most important realities of our time. Land curses apply to us today, and we cannot go forward as societies until we address them biblically.
Ray discusses where the Confessionalists Podcast is heading. The goals are grand but achievable. The topics, by God's grace, will be interesting and helpful. Ray tells the story of how he became convinced of confessionalism.
