In this second conversation with political philosopher Yoram Hazony, we dive deeper into the biblical concept of nationhood, wrestling with listener-submitted questions on nationalism, empire, and political virtue. Hazony responds to critiques and clarifies his position: biblical nationalism is not about racial purity or imperialism, but about the virtue of limited, self-governing peoples—unified not by ethnicity but by shared laws, traditions, and faith. Hazony distinguishes biblical terms like am and goy, explores the status of converts like Ruth, and dismantles the modern racialized understanding of nationhood. He emphasizes that scripture assumes nations will be internally diverse, but not infinitely so—there must be a dominant center that holds people together. The conversation also explores why biblical literature, not Greco-Roman thought, shaped the American constitutional order, and why the prophets critique empire while affirming the need for some form of the state. As Hazony puts it, “Purity is not the goal. Faithful unity is.” For the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy article Yoram mentioned in the interview, access the PDF here: https://journals.law.harvard.edu/jlpp/wp-content/uploads/sites/90/2025/06/Hammer-FINAL_TC-JH-YRH-edits.pdf For more of Yoram's literature: https://www.yoramhazony.org/ https://x.com/yhazony We are listener supported.

Life, Culture and Current Events from a Biblical Perspective with Neil Johnson.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most Christians believe God shows up for others, but miss the divine encounters waiting in their own lives.This teaching is Part 1 from our 'Doorways to a Visitation' series where we dove into the reality that God desires to encounter his people personally, powerfully, and intimately.  Every believer can invite, recognize, receive, and respond to supernatural visitations from God. Using biblical examples from Mary to Moses, you'll see that divine encounters aren't reserved for spiritual elites but are the normal Christian experience. The session lays a scriptural foundation showing that the entire Bible is simply a record of one divine visitation after another, and that same God wants to visit you today.Discover how to develop spiritual sensitivity to recognize when God is drawing them into intimate encounters that go beyond just "feeling His presence." You'll gain faith to step into transformational moments with the living God that will leave them carrying His glory into everyday situations at work, home, and in your community.

Live from the 2025 Nonference, Mike and Tim (In the same room) are joined in studio by Journey Church Pastors Suzie P. Lind and Sam Barnhart. What does it mean to truly deconstruct faith, and how can that journey lead to healing? In this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, the hosts tackle the complexities of "deconstruction," exploring disillusionment, doubt, discipleship, and ultimately, the pursuit of Jesus amidst cultural challenges. From addressing church hurt and systemic issues to reexamining theologies and navigating the intersection of faith and politics, this episode unpacks the role of the church in society and the personal journeys that shape our understanding of Christianity. Through themes of justice, cruciformity, and reimagining what it means to follow Jesus, the discussion dives deep into how cultural realities and historical practices influence our faith. The panel shares stories of heartbreak and hope, challenging the idea that questioning or rethinking faith is a departure from Jesus—instead, it's often a move toward deeper authenticity. Whether you're wrestling with theological questions, processing church trauma, or striving to navigate cultural issues as a follower of Jesus, this episode offers a space for reflection and community. Feel free to share your thoughts, send in your questions, or engage with us on Facebook and Instagram. Let's continue pursuing a faith marked by humility, curiosity, and justice together.

In this Part 2 of the Spiritual Game Changers series, we will build on the foundations of Part 1 of experiencing that God is real and encountering Him as a child in your special place.  This episode focuses on: fixing your eyes on Jesus, understanding God's job and your job, and allowing God to move you forward by surrender.  Dr. Patty shares how science backs up the supernatural truths that fixing your eyes on Jesus transforms you.  Jesus explains what the root issue is behind the misunderstanding of His role and yours related to answered prayers.  And, He helps us understand what true surrender looks like with a simple metaphor.  What are the three levels of surrender and which of these game-changers does Jesus want you to use to jump higher in your relationship and calling?  Find out when you have Experience Jesus encounter.

Pastor Karl returns after a two-week break to deliver a compelling message from 2 Timothy 3, part of the "Guard and Guide" series on the pastoral epistles. Addressing a declining culture, Paul's final instructions to Timothy emphasize guarding sound doctrine and guiding others into it. Pastor Karl highlights the call to courage amidst cultural collapse, warning against self-love and its destructive traits. He stresses that sinful hearts, not systems, drive perilous times, urging believers to let God's Word rebuke, correct, and train them for His work. A powerful reminder to stay rooted in Scripture for courageous living.Watch all our sermons on our YouTube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

This is the seventh lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Is there any shared ground between believers and unbelievers? In this lesson, we explore the doctrine of common grace—the means by which God, in his goodness, temporarily restrains judgment and bestows non-saving blessings even on those who remain in rebellion against him. You will discover how this temporary, non-saving grace provides space for meaningful interaction, cultural engagement, and the proclamation of the gospel. Drawing from biblical and theological insights, including historical reflections from Calvin, Warfield, Kuyper, and Van Til, we examine how common grace enables communication without compromising the antithesis. Learn how to faithfully build bridges without erasing the gospel's call to repentance and faith. 01:53 The Nature and Scope of Common Grace  07:20 Common Grace in Redemptive History 09:51 Biblical Foundations of Common Grace 20:24 Common Grace and Apologetics 27:21 Historical Perspectives on Common Grace 35:57 Withstanding Rejection 39:11 Summary and Conclusion   Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Is your Christian teen prepared for the intellectual assault waiting at university? Dr. Owen Anderson, Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Arizona State University, pulls back the curtain on what's really happening on college campuses. With 70% of Christian students walking away from their faith in university, Dr. Anderson—a rare conservative Christian voice inside the secular academic machine—reveals the specific challenges your children will face and how to prepare them for battle. You'll discover: ·       The philosophical foundations every Christian student needs before stepping foot on campus ·       How natural law and natural theology provide unshakeable answers to professors' attacks on faith ·       Why the Book of Job is actually the first philosophy textbook—and what it teaches about the problem of evil ·       The biggest misconceptions Christians have about the Book of Revelation (and why it's actually about victory, not defeat) ·       Practical strategies for documenting and reporting anti-Christian bias in the classroom ·       How to find mentors and build support systems that will help your student thrive, not just survive Universities aren't just liberal—they're actively working to destroy your child's faith. But Dr. Anderson proves it's possible to not only survive but thrive in hostile academic environments when you're properly prepared.   Resources: https://drowenanderson.substack.com/   https://drowenanderson.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: In a world filled with confusion, clarity begins with God's Word.

In this powerful exploration of Ephesians 5:21-33, we're challenged to reimagine marriage as a reflection of Christ's love for the church. The passage calls us to mutual submission, with wives respecting their husbands and husbands loving their wives sacrificially. This isn't about power dynamics, but about mirroring the profound mystery of Christ's relationship with His bride, the church. We're invited to see marriage as a living gospel, where unconditional love and respect create a union that transcends mere partnership. The imagery of the husband as a gentle farmer tending to a delicate peach reminds us of the care and nurture required in marriage. This message isn't just for married couples; it's a call for all of us to embody Christ-like love in our relationships, treating others with the tenderness and reverence we see in God's love for us.ChaptersChapter 1: The Biblical Foundation of Marriage0:00 - 10:00Introduction to God's design for marriage and the importance of submission in relationships.Chapter 2: The Role of Wives in Marriage10:00 - 20:00Explanation of the biblical role of wives and the true meaning of submission in marriage.Chapter 3: The Husband's Call to Christlike Love20:00 - 30:00Discussion of the husband's responsibility to love his wife sacrificially, as Christ loves the church.Chapter 4: Unity and Mutual Care in Marriage30:00 - 40:00Emphasis on the unity of marriage and the mutual care and respect between husband and wife.Keywords#Marriage#Love#Submission#HusbandsAndWives#ChristAndTheChurch#BiblicalLove#Ephesians5#GospelInMarriage#ServantLeadership#UnconditionalLove#RespectInMarriage#GodlyMarriage#SpiritualGrowth#BiblicalSubmission#ChristianRelationships#MarriageAsWitness#SelflesslLove#WalkingInTheSpirit#GodsPlanForMarriage#MaritalUnity

Is nationalism always bad—or does the Bible have a more nuanced view of nations, borders, and political life? In this fascinating episode, Israeli philosopher Yoram Hazony joins Dru Johnson to explore the political vision of the Old Testament, from the Table of Nations in Genesis to the prophetic hope of nations learning from Israel in peace. Hazony explains how the Bible's anti-empire stance emerges from the stories of Babel, Assyria, and Babylon—and why God's vision for humanity includes independent nations with borders, traditions, and space to seek Him freely. Together they unpack how Israel's kingship, laws, and tribal structure offer a model of checks, balances, and moral limits on power. The conversation also tackles modern questions: What can Christians today learn from biblical nationalism? How does this compare with movements like Christian nationalism in the U.S.? And why does Hazony see so many modern Christian intellectuals missing the Old Testament's political teachings?

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

This is part 1 of a 7 part series. To watch the whole series go here.There is no institution in history that clearly fulfills the warnings of antichrist found in Daniel, John, Paul and the gospels of Matthew or Luke than the Roman Papacy. This power has a long and sordid history of persecuting God's people, waging war against God's word and blaspheming God on the highest level — all while disguising itself and its actions as the will of God. Today we will shine a bright light on this power so that you are not deceived when it resurrects to be marveled after. This is a public episode.

What if the most spiritual thing you could do right now… is rest?In this week's episode of Needed Conversations, Ryan and Viktoriya Cole unpack a revolutionary truth: you were never meant to live from hustle to exhaustion, from pressure to burnout. You were designed to work from rest—not for it. Before Adam received his assignment, God introduced him to the rhythm of rest. His very first full day was the Sabbath. In this episode, the Coles explore how our obsession with productivity has disrupted our marriages, diminished intimacy, and distanced us from God's voice. They call couples back to a slower, more sacred pace—a Kingdom rhythm where rest becomes our posture, not our reward.

The reactionary Right. That is the new threat to patriotic conservatives. I explain how those with no affirmative beliefs are undermining our ability to reclaim America because they only know how to critique the Left, but then, absent their own beliefs, land in the same place. One of the areas in which this is most prominent is the rise of the secular, anti-Israel right. We're joined by Josh Hammer, whose new book, "Israel and Civilization," traces the importance of Israel and the Hebrew Bible to the foundation of America and how it still has meaning today. In a wide-ranging discussion, we delve into the reactionary Right that is joining with the Left against Israel, why we should support Israel's struggle against the Left but also end its dependence on us for weapons, and how we can form a new Jewish-Christian alliance to fight jihad and paganism. At the end, we discuss the trend of secular Israelis returning to God and how that echoes Josh's own personal journey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
