This was the first speech I gave in front of my Grandpa, James A. Mather (26 Feb 1923 -- 14 May 2025). He was 97 years young at this speech going to the gym 3 x a week right up to the lockdowns. And this speech was the Friday before the lockdowns in 2020 (13 March 2020) for The Conejo Valley Republican Women Federated at Los Robles Greens 299 S Moorpark Rd, Thousand Oaks, CA 91361. Grandpa Mather gave the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer to start us off, and I talked about Republicans and Civil Rights, focusing on The Second Amendment. This was originally broadcast on FB LIVE 13 March 2020 for a non-profit, public audience, for educational purposes only. Used by permission. I want to thank the women of Conejo Valley Republican Women Federated for permission to use this material and for having me speak to them that day. I want especially to thank Stephanie Ferguson for hosting me and for her friendship and support all these years ! There were very special people there, including Linda Lopez Mather (Grandpa's wife since 1995), and also people I'd met for the first time including Jackie Tucker, Tamara Howard, Kerry Nelson, Jennifer McCarthy, and Angela Nardone. It's one of the best recent memories I have with Grandpa Mather, who passed into eternity today at the age of 102 years young. Grandpa Mather was on the Podcast 21 Nov 2024, so you can check that video/audio out at your leisure. That episode features a phone call he made to me on 7 May 2020.

This is not for the faint of heart. It's a deep dive into Chevron deference doctrine starting with Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's DC Circuit opinion in 1982 against Anne Gorsuch, Neil Gorsuch's mother, who was at the time appointed by Republican Ronald Reagan to run the Environmental Protection Agency. We cover Ginsburg's 1982 decision here in Part 1. This sets us up for Part 2 of this deep dive where we will go through the famous Chevron USA v.

Today's return guest is a Mark O. Hatfield (R, Oregon) type of Republican, Dr. Vernon Grounds, Ph.D., former Chancellor, President, and long-time professor of Philosophy and Psychology, and founder of the Counseling Department at Denver Seminary, where TRP's host Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D. knew Dr. Grounds during Dr. Mather's graduate student days. Dr. Grounds taught in the philosophy department as well courses on Existentialism and Christian worldview. Our topic today on The Republican Professor Podcast is emotional problems and American Politics. Last Fall, we did a series on Anxiety and American Politics. Last Spring we did a series on Hatred and Anger in the Normative Christian Tradition. We return today with a focus on the concepts and phenomena of Pride in Biblical and Political Phenomenology in the American context. You've probably noticed the relevance to American Politics if you're paying attention. I can think of no better guest than Dr. Grounds, who is a rare bird in that he was one of the first to get the in depth Psychology training--a Ph.D. in Psychology--and applied that to Christian ministry and Apologetics. Dr. Grounds got his bachelors from Rutgers during the Great Depression, and struggled mightily with his Christian faith. He got seminary training, and later a Ph.D. in Psychology from Drew University, where he wrote a dissertation on the concept of love in the thought of Sigmund Freud. He wrote several books, but the one we discuss and read from today is his "Emotional Problems and the Gospel" (Zondervan, 1976).

Christianity as Ethnicity Part 2, with special application to the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and commentary on the definition of marriage according to California in the issue of Prop 3 as it was debated in the California Legislature in 2023.

We pick up with the Pardon Power in the Constitution and consider the term "Christian Nationalism" from a Christianity as Ethnicity perspective. NB: Ethnicity is not race or color/appearance in this usage of the term. Ethnos, the Greek word used in Matthew 28's "Great Commission," contemplates ethnicity as its used here, as "nation" or people bound together by kinship, heritage, tradition, no matter what they look like, for adoption is very old in the Judeo-Christian tradition (think of for example Ruth, or the language of adoption in the New Testament). Application to American Politics and Public Law are sprinkled throughout. This is a Christmas season series on The Republican Professor podcast.

We take a look at two provisions of "the Supreme Law of the Land," as well as Federalist 74 written by Hamilton, and I reflect briefly on Lincoln's Lyceum Address.

Grandpa Mather flew F6F Hellcats during World War 2, and later married Dottie Rehnland of Michigan, and had 3 kids, one of whom was my father. He became a Christian at the big Methodist Church in Colorado Springs in 1956 at Dawson Trotman's funeral when Billy Graham gave the eulogy. In 1962, Grandpa founded Mr. Steak, Inc., which eventually had 286 restaurants in the United States and in Canada. Grandpa Mather calls his grandson, TRP Producer and Host Lucas J. Mather, on 7 May 2020 during the lockdowns to encourage the boy. Grandpa Mather is today 101 years old and resides in Ventura County, California. He attends Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newberry Park with his wife of 29 years, Linda Lopez Mather, daughter of longtime restaurant owner Sal Lopez, owner of Sal's Mexican Inn at 1450 Oxnard Blvd for many decades in Oxnard, California. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D., also a US Navy veteran.
