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.

During a time when political conversations are marked by deep division, polarization, and challenging moral questions, what resources do evangelicals have to think and act critically, coherently, and theologically about public life?In their new book, Hopeful Realism: Evangelical Natural Law and Democratic Politics, political theorists Dr. Jesse Covington of Westmont College, Dr Bryan T. McGraw of Wheaton College, and Dr. Micah Watson of Calvin College lay out an evangelical theory of the natural law and show how it can be employed within the context of our pluralist democratic order.Support the show

Can Christians faithfully engage in politics without compromising their convictions? In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer is joined by Dr. Jesse Covington, Dr. Brian T. McGraw, and Dr. Micah Watson, co-authors of Hopeful Realism: Evangelical Natural Law and Democratic Politics. Together, they explore how natural law provides a foundation for engaging in the public square while maintaining theological integrity.

Welcome one-and-all to yet another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. Accompanying the Brothers Moriarty this week are Gene Park and Micah Watson of Punching Up: A Nintendo Podcast. Since we're a cast full of writers, Dagan thought he'd probe our respective approaches to the craft, where we draw inspiration, and how we came to love the written word. Micah reflects on an old internet cartoon from her high school years, Salad Fingers. What is it that we love about surrealist and absurdist humor on the internet, and what are some of our favorite examples of similar fare? As a Washington DC resident, Gene has noticed first-hand the rise in criminality in his own city, and wonders if and when we as a society will get our heads around solving our myriad criminal justice-related problems. Finally, Colin wants to chat about Elon Musk. Do you love him, hate him, or fall somewhere in between? Is he an inspiration, a menace, a distraction, or perhaps just an annoyance? Believe it or not, no one holds back in their responses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Gather 'round for another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. Joining the Brothers Moriarty this week is LSM's coordinator and shopkeep Micah Watson, alongside Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun. Dagan gets us started by asking us each to pitch a new video game to the audience, and naturally delivers a delightful idea of his own as well. Micah's nail person recently moved shops, and that presents a problem: She has no idea what salon she's defected to. She's turned to internet sleuthing to solve the case. Chris wants to chat about breakups and how they present themselves in our lives. Sometimes they're our choice; other times we're blindsided by them. What memories come to mind when the topic comes up? Finally, Colin ends with something silly: The humble egg. Fresh off an 'argument' between he and Micah about how eggs should be cooked and consumed, he goes to bat for why eggs may be the best food of them all. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to an especially meaty episode of Constellation, as we celebrate the recent nuptials between Colin and Micah! This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by LSM coordinator and shopkeep Micah Watson and executive producer Dustin Furman, and -- as noted -- topics are designed around the Moriarty/Watson wedding, which is discussed extensively and in great detail. Colin starts things off by talking about the various friends he's gathered along the way, how awesome it was to see them interacting together, and how honored he was by the presence of so many loved ones. Dustin chats about the act of getting to Virginia for the occasion in the first place, the legacy of road trips in his life, and how travel can open up a whole world of new possibilities for anyone. Musical playlists often play an important role in road trips (as they did at the wedding), and Micah delves into the nerveracking exercise of creating a series of songs that will please as many people as possible. (Thankfully, the wedding turned into a party before long, and she did a great job.) Finally, we come to Dagan, who made note of the chronicling of the day's events through the art of photography. Living in the moment is difficult sometimes, but you can't lose sight of capturing the moment, either. Were the newlyweds able to strike the perfect balance between being present while also respecting the undeniable power of posterity? Learn more about your ad choices.

Greeting and salutations! We're glad to see you return for another episode of Last Stand Media's conversational podcast, Constellation. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Punching Up co-host Micah Watson and Last Stand's composer Ramon Narvaez. Ramon brings a fun topic to the show this week: Cult movies. We each chose three titles to discuss (for 12 total), films we think deserve attention even if they've flown far under the radar. Micah, meanwhile, wants to chat about the plight of acne. Did we suffer from it in our younger years (or perhaps we still do)? Colin is becoming increasingly infuriated by the eager acceptance of so-called AI art, which isn't actually art at all, but wholesale theft merely rearranged for the undiscerning consumer. Does the panel share his concerns? Finally, Dagan inquires as to separating the art from the artist. That is to say: When something you love was made by someone you hate, can that ever be rectified?

It's time for more Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Punching Up co-host Micah Watson and LSM associate producer Ben Smith. Two of the four topics this week flow into each other rather naturally, and so we opted to start there. Micah inquires as to our respective online shopping habits, and specifically what we'd consider the negatives to the universal convenience of click-to-buy commerce. Funneling into that is Ben's topic, warranties on the more expensive items we acquire. Are we willing to pay the upfront extra cost to protect our investments, or would we rather roll the dice? Speaking of spending money, Dagan's topic concerns America's increasingly-aggressive culture of tipping. Where do we draw the line? Finally, with their nuptials just weeks away, Colin prods Dagan and Ben on his and Micah's behalf for their advice for a happy, healthy, and fruitful marriage. Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings one-and-all! Welcome back to Constellation. On this week's episode of Last Stand Media's conversational podcast, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by legendary games designer David Jaffe and Punching Up co-host Micah Watson. As usual, we have some random topics to throw your way. Jaffe had an online experience recently that gave him pause, and has him reflecting on the hatred fomenting in seemingly every corner of the internet. Meanwhile, Dagan wants us to present him with our biggest hot (or bad?!) takes. What 'crazy' ideas do we hold that we know most people won't agree with? Colin probes everyone's minds for their current feelings on the free-to-play gaming scene, and whether it's sustainable (and even perhaps a net positive for our sprawling industry). Finally, Micah submits to the audience a truly Micah topic: Milk. Do we drink it? Do we care about it? Do you fear it? Have you ever truly thought about where it comes from...?

It's time for Constellation! This week, Punching Up co-hosts Gene Park and Micah Watson join the Brothers Moriarty for Last Stand's conversational podcast. As usual, topics are varied. Micah wants to discuss homesickness, how it's affected us in the past, and whether we long to go back to where we come from. (Naturally, such a personal topic veers widely into parallel conversations.) Gene chronicles his years of social media activity, and wonders whether such wide exposure has been a net positive or negative for us as individuals, and for the greater whole. Dagan has a bone to pick with hipsters... or does he? After all, what does the word even mean? What does such a connotation say about a person? Is it an insult, a compliment, or perhaps a misnomer entirely? Finally, Colin caps things off with some light fare: The best gaming controller. Which input device from the annals of history speaks to us most? Funnily enough, we have four entirely separate answers to share.

It's time yet again for Constellation, Last Stand's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun and Punching Up co-host Micah Watson. Micah brings a heavy and personal topic to the show this week: Her upbringing as a Jehovah's Witness. How did faith affect her life, and why did she ultimately decide to walk away? Chris' topic, meanwhile, is a bit more ethereal, as he wants to explore the variables in our lives that ended up having a major effect down the road. How did we become the way we are, anyway? Dagan, meanwhile, wants to get into lying: The lies we've told and been victimized by, the role of lying in polite society, and all of the ramifications therein. Finally, Colin wants to know everyone's contemporary gut reactions to Apple Inc., the famous American company with a perpetually dominant position in our culture. Why do so many people love Apple? And how come this specific corporation draws such visceral reactions from others? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week, we present to you a Constellation with only a trio of participants: Colin (but no Dagan, who's on vacation with his family), joined by The Washington Post's Gene Park and LSM coordinator and shopkeep Micah Watson. Gene brings a heavy topic to the show this week in the form of heartbreak. What's our history when it comes to the dramatic and traumatic ends-of-relationships? Meanwhile, Micah strives to balance the scale with something much more lighthearted: Ice cream. Which flavor is best, and in which form? What toppings speak to us? Who makes the best ice cream, period? Not surprisingly, there's much to say. Finally, Colin wants to confront an ever-present issue confounding people around the world: A striking lack of life-work balance. As he continues to seek it more in his everyday life, he asks how others find the middle-ground, and work to live instead of live to work.

Welcome back to Constellation! For the first time in our brief run so far, Colin is in fact not joined by Dagan (who's away with his son at Boy Scout camp), instead welcoming in a trio of people from the Last Stand stable as opposed to merely a duo. This week, our guests are executive producer Dustin Furman, associate producer Ben Smith, and coordinator Micah Watson. As usual, the topics are varied. Dustin wonders if we consider ourselves frugal -- or even cheap! -- and where one draws the line on spending money versus merely wasting it. Micah presents a what-if: Specifically, what if you could know when you were going to die, right down to the day. Would it affect how you lived your life? Would you even want to know at all? Meanwhile, Ben drops the matter of timeliness on the table, an ever-present phenomenon wherein some people are fixated on the clock in their daily lives while others obviously couldn't care less. Finally, Colin brings up the rear with something appropriately dumb, namely a condiments ranking. We already went deep into ketchup on a previous episode, but where do we stand on the likes of mustard, mayo, salsa, hot sauce, and more?

Micah Watson, of The Civic Hospitality Project, shares why if our minds and our hearts are not aligned with asking God for help, everything will fall apart.  Adam Mabry, author of "When God Seems Gone: Finding Hope When Nothing Makes Sense," invites us to honestly lament to God our anger and pain, and then leave them with him.

It's time yet again for another episode of Last Stand Media's conversational podcast, Constellation. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by associate editor Ben Smith and coordinator Micah Watson. Dagan's topic explores the media -- primarily the films and TV shows -- that quite literally bring a tear to our eye. What sets off our waterworks? Micah thinks trigger and content warnings have gotten out of control, to the detriment of both the content that's being endlessly targeted and the people who are apparently being protected. On the back of Cormac McCarthy's unfortunate passing, Ben wonders which authors and books speak most to us, and what our reading habits have even become as adults. Does reading play a role in our lives? Finally, Colin brings something easy and breezy to the table, a seasonal inquiry: Are we going swimming this summer or what? Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome, friends, to another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's weekly conversational podcast. This time around, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand executive producer Dustin Furman and coordinator Micah Watson (both also co-hosts of our new Nintendo show, Punching Up). Dagan wants to know what hills are worth dying on. In other words, what do we believe so staunchly that we'd fight over it to the bitter end? Dustin delves into a favorite topic of ours: Fast food. He specifically mines us for our favorite fast food joints, as well as the restaurants we find most overrated and underrated. Micah took the time to do each of our horoscopes, delving into our respective signs from three different perspectives. How do we feel about what our star charts say about us? Finally, Colin brings a heavy point of conversation this week, one that seems strangely loose in recent weeks and months: UFOs. Whistleblowers are... well... blowing the whistle. Are we seriously about to find out that aliens are, in fact, real? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's time, yet again, for another brand-new episode of Constellation, Last Stand's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Punching Up co-hosts Gene Park and Micah Watson. Gene wants to discuss his trials and tribulations pertaining to the modern dating scene, one either facilitated by or injured by the internet, depending on your outlook. Micah's topic this week is a simple one: What's your favorite smell? And why are smells so deeply tied to memory, anyway? Dagan wants to know all about the things we hate doing. Chores, small talk, dishwashing. You name it. What fills us with maximum consternation? Finally, Colin presents another quiz to the team, this one with 10 basic American history questions that he contends every adult in the US should be able to answer. The results are quite interesting.

It's time -- once again! -- for a brand-new episode of Constellation, our off-topic conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand's associate producer Ben Smith and coordinator Micah Watson. Ben gets into the deep mystery surrounding dreams, and prods us about what goes on behind our eyelids when we sleep. Micah laments celebrity deaths, wonders if they're worth getting upset about at all, and inquires about which prominent passings-away affected us most. Is karma a real thing? Dagan thinks it is, and challenges us to conceive of a world where what goes around actually does come around. And finally, Colin touches base with everyone concerning Amazon, the megacorporation that's slowly-but-surely taking over America. Question is: Should we be grateful or scared?

Welcome one-and-all to another episode of Constellation. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand's shopkeeper and coordinator Micah Watson and associate producer Ben Smith. Spring has sprung, and that means Easter draws near. Micah's curious how everyone feels about the holiday: The food, the Easter Bunny, and those peculiar eggs, too. Ben's topic is sleep, and whether it's something we actually enjoy or not. Sleep is necessary, sure, but is it a gigantic waste of time, too? Dagan delves into his greatest fears, and we all follow suit. From claustrophobia and being buried alive to destitution and sports mascots, it may not surprise you that our fears are wide-ranging. Finally, Colin brings a kindergarten-style question to the fore: Favorite season. It's that simple. You've got to choose. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this week's all-new episode of Constellation, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Last Stand's coordinator and shopkeep Micah Watson and executive producer Ben Smith. Micah comes to the mic eager to talk about breakfast: Eggs, bacon, potatoes, French toast, waffles, pancakes, cereal. The whole shebang. Dagan prods each of us to share a truly embarrassing story from our past, ones we've never discussed before in any setting. Ben waxes about the power of documentaries, their endless draw, and how they seem to make even the most mundane topics thoroughly interesting. Finally, Colin breaks down how he feels technology is making his life worse, and how to escape all of modernity's many bells and whistles. Can we undo progress and recapture a simpler time?

The conventional wisdom on C.S. Lewis was that he really didn't care much for politics, or for law, and so he wouldn't have spent much time or energy on liberty either. But the conventional wisdom is mistaken. The truth is Lewis was deeply interested in the political, properly understood, as well as natural law, the human person, and genuine liberty. In this session we will explore Lewis' thoughts on these matters by considering his biography, his keen interest in criminal justice reform, what he believed about the purpose of government, and how his views on natural law and human liberty connect to his Christian convictions.Micah Watson is associate professor and PPE program director at Calvin University. He is also the executive director of the Paul Henry Institute for the Study of Christianity and Politics. His research interests include John Locke and the political thought of C.S. Lewis.

In the inaugural episode of Henry Conversations, Micah Watson talks with James R. Skillen about This Land is My Land: Rebellion in the West, his book about the history of militant resistance to federal authority in the Western U.S. While recorded before the events of January 6, 2021, this conversation provides helpful context for understanding how ordinary political conflict can become radical.
