The recent publication of Melissa Moschella's Ethics, Politics, and Natural Law has renewed interest in the application of natural law to human flourishing. A topic that has undergone a resurgence among not only Catholics, but also Protestants with seminal publications from those like David VanDrunen, Micah Watson, and Andrew T. Walker. Seeing students engaging in this tradition has been rewarding and today I speak to one of those students, Josiah Wolfe, and his article in the Campbell Law Observer entitled, Natural Law and Its Discontents. We talk about the early stages of his interest in the topic, whether he's seeing the natural law in his assignment, how he approaches Aquinas and law, the relationship between legislation and divine ordinance, and much more. Josiah is a second-year law student at Campbell University School of Law and is a Staff Writer for the Campbell Law Observer. He grew up in North Carolina and graduated summa cum laude from Charter Oak College with a B.S. in Business Administration. He was also a CLS Fellow in 2024. Cross & Gavel is a production of CHRISTIAN LEGAL SOCIETY. The episode was produced by Josh Deng, with music from Vexento.
The wicked witch of progressivism is dead, right? And Christians finally have the opportunity that we said for generations that we wanted: the opportunity to engage culture and win. Well, we might not be as ready for that as we think.Andrew T. Walker, “All grace, no nature,” March 25, 2025.R. Albert Mohler, Jr. “They are going to call us Christian nationalists,” March 14, 2025.

In a climate of political tension and division, how do we stay focused as followers of Christ? This video dives into "Navigating Faith and Politics," addressing pivotal truths for Christians during this election cycle and beyond. With elections and politics dominating today's discourse, it's essential to ask: Are we more focused on political victories or the mission entrusted to us by Jesus?In this message we take a look at what God's Word says about how we, as Christ-followers, are meant to represent Him throughout this political season. Are we engaging in discourse with humility and love, ensuring our actions reflect Jesus? Delve into the primary mission Jesus gave 2,000 years ago in Matthew 28:19-20: to make disciples by embodying Christ-like love and humility. We are called to be salt and light in a broken world. It emphasizes the centrality of Jesus and the eternal Kingdom over earthly political kingdoms.

Summer is over and school is back in session, but not for Enoch Burke. Burke is a Christian who also happens to be a teacher in Westmeath, Ireland. He was fired from his job recently because he refused to endorse or affirm transgenderism. Because he refused to address students by their trans names or employ third person pronouns, he was suspended, and then after an investigation he was fired. Because he continued to show up for work after he was fired, he was eventually given a 400-day prison sentence for contempt of court. He had not been accused at any point of abusing students in any way. He had not been accused of offering inadequate instruction as a teacher. Nevertheless, Burke was told that his presence was “stressful” for students and staff and he posed a health and safety risk to the population of the school. And by the way, he was also fined €200,000. Can we please talk about free speech? Timon Cline, “School's out for ‘blasphemers,'” September 4, 2024. Andrew T.

Despite the Dobbs decision, which reversed Roe vs. Wade after a generation, it turns out that right now is a tough time to be a pro-life voter in America. Every time abortion has appeared on a state-level ballot in recent days, it's lost. Turns out abortion is popular in America and our politicians are running for cover. What is a pro-life voter supposed to do? R. Albert Mohler Jr. “Trump and abortion,” September 3, 2024. Andrew T. Walker, “On abortion, Trump is his own worst enemy,” August 29, 2024. Leah Savas, “Democrats' radical abortion policy playbook,” August 27, 2024. Christina Grube, “Vance signals further GOP retreat on life protections,” August 26, 2024.
When I was a boy I used to laugh at the old men who would sit around and bemoan the fact that they miss the good ol' days, the way things used to be. And I made a decision when I was young that I was never going to be that guy, that I was never going to complain about missing the past. And yet, now I find myself in a position where there are some things from the past that I miss, some things that I used to have that I don't have anymore. One of those things is the ability to have a conversation with someone who disagrees with me without starting world war 3. How do we function in a culture that refuses to listen? Joseph Backholm, “Reality, anyone?” July 10, 2024. Andrew T. Walker, “No, it's still not right,” May 15, 2024. Bethel McGrew, “How high the cost for transgender ideology?” March 21, 2024.
As we enter the month of August it's time to turn our attention to presidential politics. I've heard Christians say this year, more than I've ever heard before, that they plan to sit out this election because there's just not a candidate they can vote for in good conscience. I want us to consider: how do we approach politics from a biblical worldview? Andrew T. Walker, “Christian realism and the new GOP,” July 19, 2024. Erick Erickson, “It's Trump-Vance 2024,” July 15, 2024.

Today, we speak to author and associate professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Andrew T. Walker about the pope's recent comments on human goodness, Republicans' new IVF protection bill, the theology of the body, and how to balance religious beliefs with human liberty.

In the category of “You Just Can't Make This Up,” last Sunday, March 31st, 2024 was both Easter Sunday for western Christianity as well as National Transgender Visibility Day. In writing the proclamation for that observance, President Biden said to the transgender community, “You are America and my entire administration and I have your back.” Well, I wonder who has the backs of those who have been observing Easter for 2000 years.

The first book in the storied career of one of the most influential conservative legal scholars and philosophers of our day is the focus of an upcoming conference in Washington, DC. Making Men Moral (1993) is the book and Robert P. George is the man behind it—Princeton professor of jurisprudence, bioethicist and pro-life and civil liberties champion. Scheduled speakers include some of the most important thinkers on social conservatism and legal thought of the generations he has molded, plus many of his peers and George himself. This conference is our focus for today. As the founder and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University since 2000, George has provided a model for a slew of similar programs, centers and institutes throughout American academia and abroad. He is also a noted public speaker, often in partnership with his good friend the African-American scholar, Cornel West. Because of George's outsized role in public discussion of moral issues and his unique position as a stalwart Christian voice and admired scholar in the heavily secular academe of our time, rather than interview the author of a book today I will be chatting with one of the organizers of Making Men Moral: 30th Anniversary Conference. This event is co-sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the Ethics & Public Policy Center, Pepperdine University School of Public Policy, and the Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition at Catholic University. And luckily for those unable to attend in person the event at AEI in Washington, DC Thursday, November 30, 2023 | 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM ET and Friday, December 1, 2023 | 9:00 AM to 5:15 PM ET, they can register to follow the proceedings live online for free. This is a welcome opportunity to learn about one of the most important books in the fields of moral philosophy, the philosophy of law, and natural law of the last 30 years. For decades, George's Making Men Moral: Civil Liberties and Public Morality has been the go-to text for legal scholars, political theorists, philosophers and educated readers who want to grasp what types of human vice and folly can be legitimately regulated, what the relationship is between morals legislation and freedom, what is owed by the individual to the ordering of society, and what falls under the protection of privacy or basic civil liberties legal regimes. The conference features leading lights in the conservative legal firmament such as our guest today--J. Joel Alicea an associate professor at the Columbus School of Law of the Catholic University of America, Sherif Girgis, Melissa Moschella and Professor George himself. It will also feature scholars in the fields of theology and religious learning such as Andrew T. Walker; bioethicists and legal scholars such as O. Carter Snead; luminaries in the field of natural law like Hadley Arkes; journalists such as Timothy P. Carney and Alexandra DeSanctis and notable social scientists such as Mark Regnerus and W. Bradford Wilcox. The first day of the two-day conference will feature an interview of George by his fellow public intellectual and former student, Ryan T. Anderson. Our guest today, Professor Alicea, will not only open the conference but will participate in a panel discussion entitled, “Making Men Moral and Constitutional Interpretation,” the title of which nicely encapsulates two of the many roles Robert P. George serves in the public sphere: George is both a powerful moral voice and a skillful, much loved professor at Princeton where he teaches a famous course on Constitutional Interpretation (the lectures of which were recorded and are available free online). Let's hear from Professor Alicea. Hope J. Leman is a grants researcher. Learn more about your ad choices.

And luckily for those unable to attend in person the event at AEI in Washington, DC Thursday, November 30, 2023 | 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM ET and Friday, December 1, 2023 | 9:00 AM to 5:15 PM ET, they can register to follow the proceedings live online for free. This is a welcome opportunity to learn about one of the most important books in the fields of moral philosophy, the philosophy of law, and natural law of the last 30 years. For decades, George's Making Men Moral: Civil Liberties and Public Morality has been the go-to text for legal scholars, political theorists, philosophers and educated readers who want to grasp what types of human vice and folly can be legitimately regulated, what the relationship is between morals legislation and freedom, what is owed by the individual to the ordering of society, and what falls under the protection of privacy or basic civil liberties legal regimes. The conference features leading lights in the conservative legal firmament such as our guest today--J. Joel Alicea an associate professor at the Columbus School of Law of the Catholic University of America, Sherif Girgis, Melissa Moschella and Professor George himself. It will also feature scholars in the fields of theology and religious learning such as Andrew T. Walker; bioethicists and legal scholars such as O. Carter Snead; luminaries in the field of natural law like Hadley Arkes; journalists such as Timothy P. Carney and Alexandra DeSanctis and notable social scientists such as Mark Regnerus and W. Bradford Wilcox. The first day of the two-day conference will feature an interview of George by his fellow public intellectual and former student, Ryan T. Anderson. Our guest today, Professor Alicea, will not only open the conference but will participate in a panel discussion entitled, “Making Men Moral and Constitutional Interpretation,” the title of which nicely encapsulates two of the many roles Robert P. George serves in the public sphere: George is both a powerful moral voice and a skillful, much loved professor at Princeton where he teaches a famous course on Constitutional Interpretation (the lectures of which were recorded and are available free online).

The first book in the storied career of one of the most influential conservative legal scholars and philosophers of our day is the focus of an upcoming conference in Washington, DC. Making Men Moral (1993) is the book and Robert P. George is the man behind it—Princeton professor of jurisprudence, bioethicist and pro-life and civil liberties champion. Scheduled speakers include some of the most important thinkers on social conservatism and legal thought of the generations he has molded, plus many of his peers and George himself. This conference is our focus for today. As the founder and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University since 2000, George has provided a model for a slew of similar programs, centers and institutes throughout American academia and abroad. He is also a noted public speaker, often in partnership with his good friend the African-American scholar, Cornel West.

This week, Pastor J.D. answers a question about whether or not we should give out our own pronouns when asked. Show Notes: We have actually talked about this topic a couple of years ago from another angle, and this may be a good time to revisit that. The podcast from several years ago got a lot of attention and a lot of people asked questions about it. I think it's good to bring that back up, both to continue the conversation and also to clarify some things I said. I'd actually like to start by discussing that previous question ("Should we use someone's preferred pronouns when asked?"). The conversation in our culture has shifted even since then. Also, I'll be candid: as I've wrestled with this, some of my own thinking on this has crystalized and, I'd even say, matured. There are several dynamics at play when we think about a question like this. One of those is is truth. Our job as witnesses is to stand uncompromisingly on the truth, to rebuke our society, to stand against untruth and darkness. Another dynamic are the relational aspects of knowing someone and maintaining a relationship with them. We're not just called to defend truth but to win people. So, if someone has transitioned and wants to be called different pronouns, should you consent to that? Let me first use a phrase I first heard from Andrew T. Walker: "The answer to that question begins and ends with no." The reason I say that is because I think, as believers, we have to be crystal clear on the truth. I did make this point on our previous episode, talking about the necessity of being crystal clear on truth, but I think I should have been more clear and I want to do that now: there can be no ambiguity in our testimony to the world. This is not ambiguous in Scripture, it's not unclear, and part of our calling is to speak to culture when culture does not align with what God has said. I understand there's a lot of brokenness, dysphoria, and complexity to this for a lot of people, but we have to be honest about what the Bible says. After that has been made clear, some of these other relational dynamics kick in. In that previous episode, I was hypothesizing about a situation where I'm sitting in my office with a dad and his transgender child, coming to me for clarity and so I make clear to them what the Bible says. But, if in the course of conversation I used the child's self-referential pronoun as I talk with and about them, just to keep them in the conversation, I don't think that would represent a capitulation or compromise of truth if someone chose to do that, assuming they'd been clear about the truth on the front end and the back end. That should never be done in a way that implies acceptance or affirmation, even for a second. The easiest thing, honestly, is to use their name, even if that forces you to word things awkwardly. Again, we're trying to balance two things: clearly testify to the truth, and doing our best to keep our relationship with the other person in order to engage with them at the heart level. Let me add a third thing we're balancing: to fight the battle at the right location. Being clear and truthful about gender is a battle we have to fight, no matter how unpopular. But that doesn't mean that I fire shots or draw battle lines in every other sentence when I'm trying to get the conversation focused on what we need to get it focused on. Our goal is to engage the issue in a way that engages the heart, and to speak truthful about God's design without apology. So that's why I say the answer to the question begins and ends with no. Now, back to whether or not you list your own pronouns when asked (like on a name-tag at work, for example). Different dynamics are at play here. On the one hand, saying that my pronouns are he/him is a true statement. I'm not telling or affirming a lie. But, what obviously is being done here is an attempt to normalize the idea that pronouns are a choice.

Pride Month is everywhere, and it's difficult for Christians. We want to be Christ to people, so how do we share the love of the Gospel with those who are trapped in sexual sin? And what do we do about the pro-LGBTQ+ messaging of things like Disney's Lightyear? Should we shop at stores that support such an agenda? Bobby, Matt, and Rachel answer these and many other pressing questions in this episode of NorthWoods Church Matters podcast. Here's some really helpful books on the subject: The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World by Rosaria Butterfield. Gay Girl, Good God by Jackie Hill Perry. What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality? by Kevin DeYoung. Transforming Homosexuality: What the Bible Says about Sexual Orientation and Change by Denny Burk and Heath Lambert. Is God anti-gay? (Questions Christians Ask) by Sam Allberry.

Today we're talking to Andrew T. Walker, associate professor of Christian ethics and apologetics at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Walker has a wealth of theological knowledge on a variety of topics, from the biblical view of government to the role God intended families to play in society. We discuss how Christians should view government and what its true purpose is, according to the Bible. We also talk about the best way for Christians to argue their beliefs to a secular population and how and to what degree the government should reflect Christianity. --- Past Episode Mentioned: Ep 482: Children Have the Right to a Mom and a Dad | Guest: Katy Faust https://apple.co/3FnIHko --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise- use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.
