In this "how-to" episode, we will look at how God created us to practically invite His manifest presence into our lives. Dr. Patty clarifies the difference between God's Omnipresence and His manifest presence and why it is important to welcome Him in order to draw Him closer personally. How do you intentionally and practically welcome God in a way that has you living a life marked with signs, wonders, and miracles? Dr. Patty shares four ways to intentionally release the Holy Spirit's presence and four ways you may be releasing His presence without even being aware of it. What quenches and grieves the Holy Spirit? Jesus shares His heart on several issues like how to tap into His kingdom's emotions, the importance of living an abiding lifestyle, and fixing your eyes on Him instead of your concerns. He invites you to expand your heart to make room for Him in your Experience Jesus encounter time. Links Referenced in this episode: New to the Podcast?

This episode is a recording from a live event of the Holy Spirit 101 workshop in which Dr. Patty is sharing the segment on Justification and Sanctification. The sealing of your salvation is justification and the growing of your faith is the sanctification process. She shares the metaphor of the difference between a seed and it's fruit bearing intention. Seeds contain the fullness of their designed purpose, yet they need the right conditions to grow into healthy fruit-bearing plants. The same is true with the Holy Spirit. The fullness of His capability is deposited as a seed until the the conditions are ripe to release Him in and through each believer. She shares what the Holy Spirit brings to the table and what can happen when you cooperate with Him that allow the conditions for Him to grow within you. She leads the rededication prayer of salvation and Jesus baptizes you in the Holy Spirit, activating Him in your heart in your Experience Jesus encounter time.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --The Principle of Ownership in Parenting: A Biblical ApproachOne of the greatest responsibilities a parent has is to raise children who are equipped to navigate the world with strong, biblically grounded values. A fundamental principle of parenting is the idea of “ownership”—that the ultimate goal is for our children to leave home with the values we have instilled in them firmly rooted in their hearts. This means moving from a phase where they "rent" these values—temporarily adopting them while under our guidance—to a place where they "own" them, making those values personal, enduring, and guiding their decisions as independent adults.The Biblical Foundation of OwnershipScripture provides a foundation for this principle, particularly in passages that emphasize training, teaching, and passing on faith to the next generation. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it." This well-known verse reflects the heart of biblical parenting—intentional training in godly ways. However, for this promise to hold true, children must internalize the faith and values taught to them. They must “own” these teachings so that they continue to live by them when parents are no longer watching.Moses also spoke about this principle in Deuteronomy 6:6-7: “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” The goal is not merely that children hear the commandments but that they become imprinted on their hearts. Moses was calling parents to make God's truth a natural part of everyday life, ingraining it deeply in their children so that it would influence them long after they left their parents' homes.From Renters to OwnersA crucial distinction for parents to understand is the difference between children being "renters" of values versus being "owners." As long as children are under our care, there is a temptation to assume that because they obey the rules, they are fully committed to the values behind those rules. However, rented values are often temporary—children follow them when it's convenient, but they haven't necessarily embraced them as their own. The danger is that when parents are no longer present to enforce those values, the children may abandon them.Ownership, on the other hand, happens when children take personal responsibility for their beliefs and decisions. When children “own” the values you've taught them, they continue to live by those values even when no one is watching. In Luke 6:45, Jesus says, “For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” The values in their hearts will naturally influence their words and actions. True ownership transforms these values...

# Books of the Book: Embracing God's Word In today's sermon, we embarked on a journey to rediscover the profound impact and necessity of being diligent students of the Bible. As we delve into the series "Books of the Book," the focus is on understanding why engaging with Scripture is crucial for spiritual growth and resilience in a chaotic world. ## The Call to Stand Firm in Truth Pastor Chris opened with a reflection on the chaotic state of the world, emphasizing the Christian duty to respond with courage and truth. He cited **Ephesians 6:12**, reminding us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil. This sets the stage for the critical need to anchor ourselves in God's Word, which is the ultimate source of truth and peace. ## The Importance of Bible Engagement The sermon highlighted a concerning trend: many believers neglect regular Bible reading. Statistics show that only 11% of Christians read the Bible daily, while a significant portion never intends to engage with Scripture at all. This neglect, Pastor Chris argues, is a form of self-sabotage, depriving us of spiritual nourishment and guidance. ### Biblical Foundations for Success 1. **Joshua 1:7-9** - God promises Joshua success if he meditates on and obeys His Word. This passage underscores that true prosperity comes from aligning with God's commands. 2. **Proverbs 2:6** - Solomon reveals that wisdom, necessary for making life's difficult decisions, comes from God's Word. 3. **Matthew 4:4** - Jesus, during His temptation, affirms that man shall not live on bread alone but on every word from God. This illustrates the soul's need for spiritual sustenance. ## The Transformative Power of Scripture - **Hebrews 4:12** describes the Bible as living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, capable of discerning thoughts and intentions. This power is vital for personal transformation and spiritual maturity. ### Practical Steps to Engage with Scripture - **Prioritize Quiet Time:** Commit to daily Bible reading as a non-negotiable part of life. - **Let God Speak:** Move beyond devotional snippets to immersive Scripture reading. - **Apply the Word:** Live out the teachings found in the Bible, ensuring they guide daily actions and decisions. ## Building a Foundation on the Rock In closing, Pastor Chris referenced **Matthew 7:24-27**, where Jesus likens those who hear and act on His words to a wise man building his house on the rock. This parable serves as a stark reminder that only by grounding ourselves in Scripture can we withstand life's storms. ## Conclusion The sermon concluded with a call to action: to be a people of the Word and prayer, shining God's light in a dark world. By embracing Scripture, we not only enrich our spiritual lives but also prepare ourselves to be vessels of God's peace and truth. --- As we continue this series, let us commit to making the Bible a central part of our lives, ensuring that God's wisdom and truth guide us in every step.

The Church Once Shaped the World Through Beauty—Can We Help Restore Its Influence Again? For centuries, the Christian faith was the driving force behind breathtaking art, transcendent music, and the very fabric of Western culture. But somewhere along the way, the church lost its influence—and with it, our society became less attuned to the transcendent power of beauty to point hearts to God. How did we get here, and most importantly, how can parents reclaim beauty as a powerful tool for reaching a generation that’s grown deaf to lectures and argument? In this compelling episode, Catherine is joined by multi-talented artist, philosopher, and theologian Isaac Gay—an accomplished musician, singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and founder of The Parallel Society, a ministry devoted to discipling artists and restoring creativity in the church. Isaac and his wife Emily have spent nearly two decades planting churches, building prayer rooms, and nurturing creative communities in some of the most secular cities in the West—while also raising three boys of their own. Key Insights & Takeaways: Beauty as a Lost Apologetic: Discover why beauty is the most overlooked, and perhaps most powerful, way for Christians to influence culture today. “Beauty just might be our most powerful apologetic,” Catherine declares, underscoring its unique role in capturing hearts in a post-truth society. The Biblical Foundation of Creativity: Learn how the very first thing Scripture tells us about God isn’t that He’s a king, or father—but that He is a Creator, bringing order out of chaos. And why that means that every parent, regardless of natural talent, is called to be creative too. History’s Lessons: Journey from the Renaissance and beyond to see how the church used to set the standard for art, music, and culture. Why did Christians abdicate that position of influence, and how did utilitarian thinking, fundamentalism, and a sacred/secular divide contribute to exile of the arts? The Plight—and Calling—of Christian Artists: Hear Isaac’s own story of exchanging Broadway dreams for full-time ministry, and the tension so many creative Christians face when their gifts seem at odds with church expectations. “You are joining God, the ultimate creator, in the act of the most beautiful piece of art and creativity that has ever been created,” Isaac encourages all parents. Why Lectures Don’t Reach Culture (But Stories Do): The world isn’t tuning into our sermons—they’re going to movies, reading novels, and being shaped by art. Find out why reclaiming creativity in the church isn’t optional, but essential if we want to influence the next generation. Notable Moments: The astonishing significance of the first person in Scripture filled with the Holy Spirit (hint: he was an artist, not a preacher!) Stories from church history, the Renaissance, and the power of artists as “missionaries” to culture. A moving discussion on how even parenting itself is an act of creativity, forming order and beauty from chaos. The church hasn’t just neglected the arts—it’s handed the cultural keys to the world, often settling for copying what’s popular instead of shaping what’s meaningful. What could happen if Christian parents and churches reclaimed beauty—not just in our sanctuaries, but in our homes, our parenting, and our calling? Listen in and consider:How are you nurturing the creative spark God gave your children? In what ways could reclaiming beauty and imagination in your home, church, or community become the bridge to the gospel your world desperately needs? Don’t miss Part 2—where Isaac will be joined by his wife Emily for an even deeper dive into the practical steps of nurturing Christian creativity and restoring the church as a wellspring of beauty and culture. About the Guest: Isaac Gay is a modern-day renaissance man with a background in theatre, music, and ministry. As the founder of The Parallel Society, he equips Christian artists to use their gifts for cultural renewal and gospel advance. His work with his wife Emily has built creative communities and fostered discipleship of artists across the U.S. Episode Resources: Isaac’s Website & Instagram The Parallel Society The Prodigal by Isaac Gay For resources, free guides for parents, and more on nurturing creativity in your kids, visit catherine@catherinesegars.com.

Welcome to this episode of Wisdom's Table! I'm your host, Rachel Wortman, and today we're diving deep into a topic that is both niche and incredibly relevant: the great wealth transfer. This concept has been discussed in Christian circles for decades, and I believe it's essential for everyone to understand how it can impact their lives. In this episode, I'll be unpacking the prophecies surrounding the great wealth transfer, particularly focusing on Proverbs 13:22, which states, "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the hands of the righteous." We'll explore the three key perspectives on this wealth transfer: The belief that it is a future event where the wicked will spontaneously give their wealth to Christians. The idea that it has already occurred in the past. The mindset approach, which is where I personally align. I believe that the wealth transfer is not just a singular event but a mindset we can adopt to position ourselves for God's blessings. Throughout the episode, I'll share biblical examples of wealth transfers, including stories from Exodus, Genesis, and the lives of figures like Joseph and Solomon. These examples illustrate that wealth transfers have occurred throughout history and can happen again today. I also challenge listeners to think critically about who the "wicked" and "righteous" are in the context of this scripture, especially in light of the New Testament understanding of righteousness through Christ. We'll discuss how the wealth transfer concept can be applied practically in our lives today, emphasizing the importance of understanding God's wisdom and methodologies. As we move forward, I'll reveal three keys to prepare for a wealth transfer of biblical proportions: Be empowered by God: Seek His power to do what only He can do through you. Do things God's way: Align your actions with His principles to experience His blessings. Build a kingdom with a throne for Him: Focus on creating opportunities that glorify God and invite others to know Him. I'll also share my personal experiences with wealth transfers in my life, highlighting how these keys have played a crucial role in my journey. Finally, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of the Kingdom Leaders Community, a monthly membership designed to help you grow in both spiritual formation and practical strategies for success. This community will provide you with resources, training, and support to help you build the abundant life God has intended for you.

Dr. Patty shares her story about how the Lord helped her through disappointment. When things don't go exactly the way you want or in the time you expect, there can be disappointment and discouragement. Sometimes this can lead to you being mad at yourself, or mad at God. What lessons can you learn in these circumstances? She shares how the Lord reframed her disappointment by showing her something through an encounter, reminding her of a key message of a film clip, and giving her applicable scripture, two songs, and a dream. God will use many methods to make sure you get the messages He has for you.

Movement Conversations - Powered New Generations North America
Send us a textThis conversation delves into the biblical foundations for Disciple-Making Movements (DMMs) as outlined in Dr. Aila Tasse's book, 'Cabbages in the Desert.' The discussion explores the concept of multiplication in faith, tracing its roots from Genesis through the life of Jesus and the early church. Key themes include the importance of understanding the church as a living organism, the distinction between converts and disciples, the role of adversity in spreading the gospel, and the necessity of cultural relevance and simplicity in disciple-making. The conversation emphasizes the need for prayer and personal transformation in embracing these ideas.TakeawaysMultiplication in faith is rooted in biblical principles.The Tower of Babel illustrates humanity's failure to spread God's glory.Abraham's calling was meant to bless all nations.The early church grew through adversity and scattering.Discipleship is about heart transformation, not just conversion.Baptism is a fundamental step of obedience for new believers.Cultural relevance is crucial for effective disciple-making.Simplicity is essential for reproducibility in movements.Prayer is vital for guidance and strength in disciple-making.Personal transformation is necessary for leaders embracing new models.*This is an AI-generated podcast.
The Biblical Foundations For Family #rttbros #nightlight
Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday
In this "Identity" episode we will increase your view of the power God has and the power you have as a citizen of heaven. What is Godly power and what is the relationship between His power and your authority to release it? Jesus shares a simple metaphor explaining the relationship you have to God's power, and another that shows you the levels of HIs power and your ability to grow increasing levels of tolerance to release it. What does it mean that you are a citizen of heaven and what are the three stages of maturity in that awareness? Jesus explains how the Kingdom of heaven is around, inside, and among you and gives you eight switches that will help you shift from your perspective to HIs.

In our digital age, parenting with biblical wisdom has never been more crucial. This discussion reminds us of our sacred duty to guard our children's hearts, as Proverbs 4:23 instructs. We're challenged to view technology through a spiritual lens, using Deuteronomy 6 as our guide to constantly disciple our kids in all aspects of life. The conversation emphasizes the importance of open communication, gradual introduction to technology, and setting biblical boundaries. It's a call for us to be counter-cultural in our approach, embracing Jeremiah 17:9's warning about the deceitfulness of our hearts. As we navigate this complex landscape, we're encouraged to fight for our children's spiritual well-being, recognizing that our obedience as parents directly impacts their growth in faith.Timecodes:Chapter 1: Biblical Foundation for Digital Parenting0:00 - 3:00Establishing a biblical basis for parenting in the digital age.Chapter 2: Setting Boundaries and Building Trust3:00 - 6:00Implementing boundaries for phone usage and fostering trust with children.Chapter 3: Navigating Online Safety and Challenges6:00 - 9:00Addressing online safety concerns and overcoming digital parenting challenges.Chapter 4: Embracing Counter-Cultural Parenting9:00 - 12:00Encouraging parents to adopt a counter-cultural approach to digital parenting.
A Sermon by Rev. Douglas Ahamefula and Elder Brenard Rowe, Elders at Victory Church in Providence, RI. Opening Tribute and Introduction Reference to Biblical principle: "The seed we sow is the seed we reap." Honoring Bernard for 32 years of service to the church, emphasizing long-term commitment and various roles in ministry (especially choir/music). Mention of Bernard's wife, Fanny, who has passed away. Note of Bernard's journey to the church and his active, faithful involvement. Bernard's Acknowledgments Bernard expresses gratitude to Senior Pastor Richard and Pastor Lisa. Occasion: 36th church anniversary, international service. Bernard humbly accepts the opportunity to speak and share the good news of Jesus Christ. Theme: The Power and Nature of God's Love Encouragement to reflect on the strongest force in the universe: love, specifically the love of God. God's love described as eternal, unchanging, and foundational. Focus on unconditional (agape) love, not romantic or materialistic love. Illustrated Stories and Examples Story of a village fire: neighbors show overwhelming love and support to a woman who lost everything. Love stronger than the devastation caused by the fire. International service: church as a community of 26 nations, demonstrating God's love through unity and cultural celebration. Biblical Foundations of Love Biblical description of love (1 Corinthians 13:4-8, paraphrased): Love is patient, kind, not envious or boastful, not proud. Does not dishonor, is not self-seeking or easily angered. Keeps no record of wrongs, rejoices in truth, always protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres, never fails. Call to consistently demonstrate these biblical attributes of love. The Greatest Demonstration: Jesus Christ and the Cross Reference to John 3:16: God's gift of his only son as act of unconditional love. Example of Christ's sacrifice—pleading for forgiveness, promise to the thief: “You will be with me in paradise.” Analogy: judge takes punishment upon himself—parallels Jesus' sacrifice for humanity. Command to Love One Another Quote of John 13:34-35: “A new commandment I give you, love one another…” Must demonstrate love for others; cannot claim love for God while hating others. Forgiveness and Restoration Parable of the prodigal son: father's unconditional love and forgiveness; call to emulate this. Romans 5:8: God's love demonstrated while we were still sinners. Sacrificial Love in Practice Example: missionaries risking life for the gospel—sacrificial love. No one can outgive God; God's gifts surpass all. God's Love in Creation and Deliverance Genesis 1:31: God declares his creation “very good” as a sign of his love. God's deliverance in biblical history: freeing Israel from Egypt, crossing the Red Sea. Love like a shepherd rescuing a lost sheep. The Permanence of God's Love Romans 8:38-39: nothing can separate us from God's love. God's love is likened to a lighthouse—guiding through storms. Call to Action and Conclusion God's love is the greatest gift, endures forever, accessible to all. Challenge to receive and share this love unconditionally: “Love is like a candle, it doesn't lose light by lighting another.” Call for unity and acts of love among church community. Closing prayer of thanksgiving, blessing, and request to show sacrificial love.

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.

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.

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.

Luke 10:25-37 - Speaker: Chan Choi - In this session, we'll explore why God's mercy is not just a comforting truth but a transformative force in the life of every believer. We'll briefly trace the theme of mercy across both the Old and New Testaments, highlighting how it reveals God's heart and shapes our calling. Anchored in the parable of the Good Samaritan, we'll consider how God's mercy trains us to extend mercy to others.

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?

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
