Podcasts about Puritans

“The Puritans feared that which was undomesticated.” — Jeff Hendricks“Our earliest American heroes were Morton's oppressors, Endicott, Bradford, Miles Standish. Merry Mount's been expunged from the official version because it's the story not of a virtuous utopia but of a utopia of candor. Yet it's Morton whose face should be carved in Mount Rushmore.” — Philip Roth “He held out the promise of America as an earthly paradise, a pagan, not a protestant prospect, a zone of pleasure, not salvation through suffering.” — John Seelye “Drink and be merry, merry, merry boys;Let all your delight be in the Hymens joys…Or make green garlands, bring bottles outAnd fill sweet nectar freely about.Uncover thy head and fear no harm;For here's good liquor to keep it warm.Then drink and be merry, Or yet, lasses in beaver coats come away, Yee hall be welcome to us night and day.To drink and be merry.” — Thomas Morton Today we are going to play with one of the greatest stories you probably have never heard of. Even in U.S. very little known about this story and it's a crime. If you have even a superficial knowledge of American history, you have almost certainly heard about the settlers who came to Plymouth in 1620. What you may not have heard about is that shortly thereafter a gentleman named Thomas Morton set up a different colony just down the road from Plymouth. At a time when most people arrived to Plymouth in chains, as indentured servants, Morton abolished servitude in his settlement he called Merrymount. At a time when his neighbors in Plymouth were brutally squashing religious dissent, Morton encouraged religious freedom. And on top of it all, he and his friends entertained extremely friendly relations with Native tribes even openly intermarrying. What makes the story even crazier is that Merrymount was well on its way to be more successful than Plymouth. When new settlers arrived on American shores, many took one look at ultra-strict Plymouth, another look at the freedom to be enjoyed at Merrymount and didn't need to be told twice which way to go. The only reason why Merrymount didn't make it in the history books you may have read is because the pilgrims turned to violence to destroy a community whose existence was a challenge to all of their beliefs. From that day forward, the name of Thomas Morton has largely been erased from history. Some people could refer to Morton as a victim of the Puritan brand of cancel culture. The Puritan story became mainstream, and Morton's name disappeared. This episode fixes this mistake.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is Thanksgiving Day and many families will be gathered together to share thoughts on gratitude. Can you name at least seven things for which you are grateful? Do you believe in "Thank You" power in your life? The latest research on the impact of positive emotions in our lives is very interesting. The influence of gratitude is quantifiable, both physically and emotionally. Simply being thankful and making it a point to recognize those good things will positively change our lives. There is scientific proof that we will be happier, healthier, and better able to handle the stresses of daily life simply by saying, "thank you." Warm thoughts on gratitude to always remember: 1. There are many powerful reasons for living in gratitude. 2. Gratitude is an unstoppable mindset for success and happiness. 3. The scientific studies are interesting, well documented, and very persuasive. 4. Living in gratitude opens your mind to being more creative when faced with challenges. 5. Grateful people focus more on the positive events from the past and do not waste time dwelling on the negatives. 6. Grateful people are more popular because they are a pleasure to be around. 7. We all respond positively to praise and encouragement. I have been touched by the stories of people who have faced physical and emotional trauma and yet have found the strength to live in gratitude. The people who practice the power of "thank you" were able to turn a trauma into a positive not only for themselves, but for others as well. Always remember - we will be happier, healthier, and better able to handle the stresses of daily life simply by saying, "thank you." More Warm Thoughts: "I thank God that I live in a country where dreams can come true. Where failure sometimes is the first step to success and where success is only another form of failure, if we forget what our priorities should be." Harry Lloyd Hopkins - Advisor to Franklin D. Roosevelt. "Remember ever and always that your country was founded by the stern, old Puritans who made the deck of the Mayflower an altar of the living God, and whose first act on touching the soil of the New World was to offer on bended knees thanksgiving to Almighty God." Henry Wilson - 18th US Vice President under Ulysses S. Grant. And may God bless America and our world!

Chuck returns to the studio, we have this week's Hangover Cure where Sebastian mispronounces Icelandic names, an all new Question from Hell! for the week, and a brand new installment of The Past inside the Present, talking about the connection between billionaire worship, the Puritans and the history of the prosperity gospel movement. Chuck welcomes historian, writer, and activist Austin McCoy to talk about his Baffler Magazine article "After Floyd - If you can't rein in the police, you can't save democracy."

Reformers, Puritans, Spurgeon, all lend their weight to the idea of a 1000-year reign. A most important piece of documentation.

Morgan White Jr. filled in on NightSide:Originally called Tremontaine for the three hills in the area, Boston became its official name in honor of the many Puritans who came from a town with the same name in Lincolnshire, England. Once established, Boston was shaped by many events including the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battles of Lexington and Concord, Paul Revere's ride, the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Great Molasses Flood, the Cocoanut Grove Fire, and most recently the Boston Marathon Bombing. Joining Morgan to outline more of Boston's historic past was Operations Manager for Boston Top Deck Trolley Tours and WBZ Radio Traffic Reporter, Jack Harte.

John Calvin, along with Martin Luther, is one of the two theological titans whose work most influenced the Reformation's outcome. Known best for fully embracing God's sovereignty and predestination, Calvin had great influence among the Swiss, the English, and the Puritans who made their way to America. We look at his life, work (often summarized by "TULIP") and legacy. Thanks to Pastor Aaron Wright of Grace Family Baptist Church for stopping in for this episode!

The Thanksgiving Day tradition in the United States dates to the year the Pilgrims set aside time to thank the Creator for providing for them in the new world. But we need to have a real answer for why they left their home, a better answer than they were being persecuted.

Do you know the real story of Thanksgiving? What actually happened in the area that became the Massachusetts Bay Colony when the Pilgrims and Puritans arrived? We hope you're hungry for some dark history, because our guest tells it like it really happened in 17th century Plymouth and Salem.Full show notes at https://homespunhaints.com/witch-trial-storiesPodcast promo by Weird Darkness: https://weirddarkness.com/Follow our guest Girl Henry Rollins on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@girlhenryrollns and follow her tour guide account at https://www.tiktok.com/@salemuncensoredCheck out our guest host Karly's Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thevillagetarotwitch/ and her podcast Drinks and Disasters at https://open.spotify.com/show/0hCUtC2l6sHiNHtpFjiSnN?si=f0700fe9e1bb452aWant to support what we do?

Jennie and Dianne delve into the spiritual beliefs of the Puritans and how those beliefs made them fear death, but also brought comfort in times of grief. We discuss how these beliefs affected their dress, daily living, death rituals and burial. These Ordinary Extraordinary were constantly preached to about death being as much a part of their life as living. As Puritan minister Cotton Matther once wrote, "Let us look upon everything as a sort of Death's Head set before us, with a memento mortis written upon it.”To donate $5 to the Sleepy Hollow Historic Cemetery Fund, please follow this link: https://gofund.me/062c87d8To learn how to become involved with Wreaths Across America, please follow this link: https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/Resources used to research this episode include:Editors, History.Com.

Where is The Congos? Why are there two Congos in Africa, what are they and why the difference? It is by revisiting the history of colonization, conquest and wars that one will come to realize these answers. On the Podcast today, we met up with two young ladies who are currently living in the US but are from The Democratic Republic of Congo and not The Republic of Congo. The Congos were colonized by two competing European Countries, France and Belgium, so that today, these independent African Countries are separated by a hybrid identity largely the result of European domination and conquest where one half of these peoples were colonized by the French so that today The Repulic speaks French and the other half, Belgium so that the Democratic Republic speaks Belgium. The Congos are currently independent nations since 1960 but just like other colonized countries in Africa and the global south, are dependent capitalist countries, with high levels of poverty and some amount of instability and local infighting over whatever resources is left after European domination. However, we learn that The Congo while an important country with a resource used to make many devices we hold in our hands today, they are the creators of rumba and are a very bucolic simple society with deep culture, varied cuisine and flavorful music. However, the study of the Congo continues to reveal the reality and result of the Black Position in the world today. The discussions here form part of a study on looking at the development of privilege and power and the reality of the human dynamics today as we study power and its strategies problems for human progress. But what is interesting, is that almost every former colonized country today, except for Canada and the US that had white settlers and the Puritans from Europe, and to some extent South Africa, are struggling dependent capitalist countries with high levels of crime and violence and some amount of instability. Further, not only is this situation evident nationally, but among peoples and places in post-industrial countries where there is concentration of black and brown people, progenitors of nations that suffered conquest and domination under colonialization and the slave trade. This is discussed in my book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, and is picked up in Book 2 - Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered. Renaldo McKenzie is the Creator and Host of the Podcast, Doctoral Candidate at Georgetown University, Graduated from The University of Pennsylvania and is currently an Academic/Lecturer, President of The Neoliberal Corporation and working on releasing his second Book by December 2022, Neoliberal Globalization reconsidered, looking at the dynamic of neoliberalism and its effects on peoples.

Grace welcomes Robert Elmer, the editor of Piercing Heaven: Prayers of the Puritans and Fount of Heaven: Prayers of the Early Church, the first two books in the Prayers of the Church series from Lexham Press. Grace, a medievalist slightly suspicious of Puritanism, learns about the beauty of these prayers from the sixteenth & seventeenth centuries and about Robert's own processes of finding and selecting these historical and powerful prayers.

We dive into Moots's history in the church and academy while exploring his understanding of Christian Reconstructionism. We get into the topic of Christian Nationalism and a state church. We dig into the magisterial protestant perspective on Christianity and politics and what it has to offer us today. What is the relationship of the church and state? What would America look like if Christian Nationalists had their way? What place would Baptists have in a magisterial Protestant nation?

This episode is about a happy-go-lucky Englishman named Thomas Morton, whom William Bradford dubbed the “Lord of Misrule,” and who would be a thorn in the side of Puritans in New England for more than fifteen years. Here's how Bradford described Thomas Morton in Of Plymouth Plantation: …Morton became Lord of Misrule, and maintained (as it were) a School of Atheism. And after they had got some goods into their hands, and got much by trading with the Indians, they spent it as vainly in quaffing and drinking, both wine and strong waters in excess (and, as some reported) £10 worth in a morning. They also set up a maypole, drinking and dancing about it many days together, inviting the Indian women for their consorts, dancing and frisking together like so many fairies, or furies, rather; and worse practices. Frisking! And worse... But Thomas Morton was much more than that. In many ways, he was the first new American of a very particular sort, and his story reminds us that American traditions have always been in a struggle with each other.

In this episode we take a closer look at four well-worn stories: that of Christopher Columbus, Pocahontas, the Pilgrims and Puritans and the Founding Fathers and ask what is actually true.

GUEST: JOEL BEEKE, host, Puritan documentaryIt's sad that the legacy of the Puritans is either not known or misconstrued today. They rose to prominence in the second half of the 1500s and influenced Protestant Christianity and Western Europe and the forming of America more than any other people or movement.The Puritans were born again Christians who applied Scripture to every area of life. No doubt they would be pejoratively labeled “Christian nationalists” today. Some sought to “purify” the compromising Church of England. Others, as in the case of the Pilgrims, a more independent branch of the Puritans, sailed to the New World to establish their own colony.There is much that present-day Christians need to learn and apply from the convictions and lives of the Puritans. Joel Beeke, president of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary and founder of Reformation Heritage Books, the largest publisher of Puritan resources, joins us on The Christian Worldview for part two of our discussion of the Puritans.--------------------Related Resource:Puritan DVD: All of Life to the Glory of God

Modern imagination of the Puritans typically casts them in a repressive, conservative light. But that wasn't always the case. Abolitionist activists in the nineteenth century, especially in New England, understood their Puritan heritage as one with radical political and spiritual responsibilities. Kenyon Gradert's new book, Puritan Spirits in the Abolitionist Imagination (U Chicago Press, 2020) tells the surprising story of unexpected connections between the English Civil Wars and the literary drumbeats for a holy war in late antebellum America.  Your host, Ryan Shelton (@_ryanshelton) is a social historian of British and American Protestantism and a PhD researcher at Queen's University Belfast.

GUEST: JOEL BEEKE, host, PURITAN documentaryIn 2000 years of church history, the two most prominent eras for the propagation of sound doctrine were in the first century when the apostles of Christ took the gospel across the Roman Empire and then in the 1500s and 1600s when the Protestant Reformation took place.But as always, Satan, along with those who knowingly or unknowingly are used by him, attack and undermine anything that accurately represents God and His word.In the mid-1500s in England, just 40 or so years after Roman Catholic monk Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses for church reform on the church door in Wittenberg, Germany (Oct. 31, 1517), a group of devout Christians known as the Puritans emerged. Some Puritans worked within the Protestant Church of England to “purify” it from the influence of Roman Catholicism and the British monarchs while other Puritans separated from the state church, suffering persecution, dispersion, and martyrdom.The Puritans—men like John Bunyan, John Winthrop, Samual Rutherford, William Perkins, John Foxe, and others—were marked by everything the current-day mainstream Evangelical movement is not—a high and holy view of God, the absolute authority of God's Word on all matters of life and faith, an accurate proclamation of the gospel, and a deep commitment to personal sanctification. Put another way, the Puritans were laser-focused on a precise understanding of God and applying His word to every area of life.This week and next in the lead-up to the commemoration of Reformation Day (Oct. 31, 1517) and Thanksgiving (i.e. the America Pilgrims were a branch of the Puritans), we will be joined by a man who is an expert on the Puritans—Joel Beeke. Joel is president of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, minister of the Heritage Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and also the host of the excellent documentary film, PURITAN: All of Life to the Glory of God.There is a lot for Christians and churches today to learn and apply from the Puritans and so we hope you are able to join us for this two-part series.--------------Related Resource:  Puritan Collector's Edition DVD
