Now that I am finally fully staffed at work, it's time to resurrect the show and dive in to my favorite subject: biblical theology (or better yet, a canonical-thematic approach to Scripture). Today all I am trying to do is orient you to the introductory material so we can get into the meat of things in episode two. 

A big thank you to my patrons (Graham, David, Daniel,  and Jared) for supporting the show and sticking with me while I got my feet back under me here in North Carolina. 

Ten years ago I sat on the floor in my parents' living room and promised my father that, when the day came, I would preach the homily at his funeral. On August 6, 2022 I was (barely) able to keep that promise. Thank you for your prayer and your support. Especially to Graham and all of my other patrons. 

My new friend Adi is a South African and a farmer so I thought he'd be able to give us the skinny on the situation on the ground for farmers in South Africa. Are things really as bad as you sometimes here? Are Afrikaaner farmers facing a significant number of murders. Adi has a lot to say about this. Be sure to listen. 

Today I talked with Dr. Jan Adriaan Schlebush of The Pactum Institute about his new book, Assailing the Gates of Hell: Christianity at War with the Left. We start at the French Revolution, make our way to Berlin, Moscow, and Frankfurt and talk about how we managed to find ourselves in clown world. This is a conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed and I believe that you will to!

My thanks as always to David, Graham, Daniel, Morgan, and Jared. Y'all make all this possible and I appreciate you greatly!

If you'd like to become a patron as well, go to Patreon and sign up. 

I was gifted a copy of A New Day of Small Beginnings by Pierre Courthial (thanks Graham!) and that sparked some thoughts about the future of theonomy. So if theonomy is to have a future, if it isn't to grow stagnant and get stuck in 1985, what needs to happen? Stick around and find out. 

It looks like both overtures from this past General Assembly of the PCA (Overtures 23 and 37) are dead in the water. Now what? 

All I can say is that 2021 was mighty strange and full of lots of challenges. But the Lord has been faithful through it all. I can't thank my patrons and listeners enough for how well the podcast has performed over the past twelve months. Let's take a look back at 2021 before we bid it goodbye and then let's talk about the future.

Here's to David, Morgan, Jared, Eric, and Graham. Y'all are the real stars of The True Presbyterian. Keep on rocking!

There has been a lot of discussion about Christian Nationalism in both legacy media and social media over the past few weeks and so I decided, after mulling things over in my own brain for a bit, to wade into the fray. What's so scary about Christian nationalism? Why is all of this suddenly on the minds of everyone from the progvangelicals, to TGC, to Al Mohler? Can one square the idea of Christian nationalism with the Bible? 

Come join me and let's think all this through.
