The Christian Outlook - November 2, 2024 Greg Seltz invites Paul Batura, of Focus on the Family, to explore the reasons behind pastors' reluctance to engage with social issues due to fears of backlash. Batura talks about the need for churches to provide a biblical framework for thoughtful engagement in the democratic process. Bill Bunkley invites George Barna to discuss the responsibility of Christians to engage in elections and influence culture based on biblical values, noting that 41 million born-again Christians plan to not vote, which could significantly impact the election outcome. Greg Seltz and Jay Richards, author of, “Fight the Good Fight: How an Alliance of Faith and Reason Can Win the Culture War,” assert that Christians are often shamed into silence regarding truth, emphasizing the importance of engaging in cultural battles rather than retreating from them.  Bill Bunkley and Jonathan Turley, author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” talk about how the First Amendment's protection of free speech as a natural, God-given right was a revolutionary idea that has been eroded over time due to an alliance between the government, corporations, media, and academia pushing for censorship.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Host Garrett Snedeker and JWI intern Isaac Michael speak with Prof. Andrew Walker of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary about his new book Faithful Reason: Natural Law Ethics for God's Glory and Our Good. Professor Walker discusses his intended audience for the book, its main ideas, and his hopes for a revival of the Natural Law in American legal discussions. He also touches upon common difficulties many Protestants have with the Natural Law and makes the case for the authority of the Natural Law in Protestant moral thought. He ultimately presents a Christ-centered case for Natural Law reasoning which he sees as essential to any coherent account of a natural moral order.   Dr. Walker serves as Associate Dean in the School of Theology, and Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Public Theology. He is also the Director of the Carl F. H. Henry Institute for Evangelical Engagement. Additionally, he is a fellow in Christian Political Thought at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and serves as the Managing Editor of WORLD Opinions. Walker joined the faculty of Southern Seminary in 2019. His previous appointment was Senior Fellow in Christian Ethics at the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.

Mark David Hall, invited to speak recently to The Institute on Religion & Democracy by Mark Tooley on The "Threat" of Christian Nationalism, takes the position that, as defined by the critics, so-called "Christian nationalism" is largely a bogeyman term designed to shame conservative American Christians into not trying to influence politics and the public debate in the U.S. No one was calling themselves this, Hall points out, prior to the relatively recent push to stigmatize Trump voters and supporters as something nefarious, dangerous, and virulently racist. Doug Wilson and Stephen Wolfe are imprudent for embracing the term, in his view. Yet he recognizes that those with post-millennial eschatology are typically more likely to shrug about being called this ugly thing. For their part, they may be unwise, but they are basically harmless, and certainly not an existential threat to America's constitutional order or the church. And, in any event, Christian nationalism should be rejected because, for one thing, it's unconstitutional, and Congress can't endorse one religion over another; and for another thing, it's unbiblical, since we should only do unto others as we want them to do unto us. Respectfully, I think this a rather superficial incorporation of Christian faith into political engagement. What would be more robust would be expanding his reference of Abraham Lincoln as not saying God is on our side. The rest of what Lincoln said is that we want to be on God's side, since God is always right. The Carl Henry Institute for Evangelical Engagement also recently produced a panel discussion. Titled Baptists and Religious Liberty, and featuring Matt Emerson, Cory Higdon, Jonathan Leeman, Joe Rigney, and Andrew Walker, the breadth and depth of the subject is discussed through historical, political, philosophical, theological, and pastoral lenses. Baptists have been persecuted in centuries past for being non-conformists, and have long advocated for religious liberty as a result. Yet religious liberty has to be framed within a particular context, and we want to avoid the error of presentism, and the temptation to colonize the past. Similarly, Leeman offers an excellent framing of the current situation for conservative American Protestants. On the one hand, you have what he calls the Helm's Deep approach to accepting the new redefinition of religious liberty, popularized under Barrack Obama, as Christians needing to butt out of everyone else's private moral framework. On the other hand, we have those who are harkening back to the more historic Protestant Magisterium. Joe Rigney, for his part, argues this latter view. All the various spheres of legitimate authority instituted by God - the family, the church, and the state - are instituted for our benefit. Moreover, all three spheres can know this is their job from God, and they can attest openly to their knowing it, all without crossing the line from governing behavior to legislating belief. But Leeman featured in another similar debate recently, at Colorado Christian University. Facing off against Bradford Littlejohn, founder of The Davenant Institute, on Religious Liberty and the Common Good, Leeman comes out strongly against government along the lines of the "First Tabularians," or Christians who want government to legislate according to the first table of the Ten Commandments. At the end of the day, it turns out the whole business really comes down to how we feel Constantine affected the purity and testimony of Christian life, for good or ill. The Helm's Deep crowd believes it was for the worse. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Fresh off the plane from Israel, John Stonestreet speaks with Andrew Walker about celebrity conversions—specifically, the conversion of Kanye West. How should we as Christians respond? Walker shares his observations—and that he's encouraged by what he's hearing so far from West about his approach to Scripture, his concern for his family, and his regret over the lifestyle he's promoted in the past. Andrew Walker, formerly of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, is now Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Apologetics at the Southern Theological Seminary, as well as Associate Dean of Theology, and the Director of the Carl F. H. Henry Institute for Evangelical Engagement.   Resources Kanye West's Conversion Could Be a Cultural Wrecking Ball Andrew Walker, National Review,October 28, 2019   Kanye West Proclaims Jesus Is King John Stonestreet, BreakPoint, November 1, 2019   Confessions of a Kanye Skeptic Shane Morris, BreakPoint, October 22, 2019   Wilberforce Weekend: Early Bird Discount!
