    Now that I am finally fully staffed at work, it's time to resurrect the show and dive in to my favorite subject: biblical theology (or better yet, a canonical-thematic approach to Scripture). Today all I am trying to do is orient you to the introductory material so we can get into the meat of things in episode two. A big thank you to my patrons (Graham, David, Daniel,  and Jared) for supporting the show and sticking with me while I got my feet back under me here in North Carolina.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Ten years ago I sat on the floor in my parents' living room and promised my father that, when the day came, I would preach the homily at his funeral. On August 6, 2022 I was (barely) able to keep that promise. Thank you for your prayer and your support. Especially to Graham and all of my other patrons.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    The Christian Nationalists Are Coming!

    There has been a lot of discussion about Christian Nationalism in both legacy media and social media over the past few weeks and so I decided, after mulling things over in my own brain for a bit, to wade into the fray. What's so scary about Christian nationalism? Why is all of this suddenly on the minds of everyone from the progvangelicals, to TGC, to Al Mohler? Can one square the idea of Christian nationalism with the Bible? Come join me and let's think all this through. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
