Impact of the 1776 Guiding Documents 51:51

2d ago51:51

51:51

In trying to understand the unique concepts of the USA, we need to start with two key documents written in the heady days of the Second Continental Congress: The Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation. We saw in the last episode, Christianity was one of the four core themes we can glean from the colonization efforts that for…

Lessons from Early US Colonization 1:06:40

9d ago1:06:40

1:06:40

We’ve seen that Christianity is vital to the type of society that everyone seems to want—individual rights, protections in liberty, etc… This vital need is both in acknowledging how Christianity brought these concepts to the West (and then others through “the West”) and how Christianity as guiding structure provided US culture the means for its suc…

Bonus Episode with Dr. Sandy Shugart: The Enlightenment Examined 51:52

12d ago51:52

51:52

In our first Bonus Episode, Dr. Sandy Shugart joins me for an indepth examination of the Enlightenment Project and my contention that the promises of such were really a myth, one that has left society disillusioned and bordering on cynicism due to discovery that they were misled. The humans are not improving, not really changing at all from what ou…

Christianity’s Positive, and Crucial, Contribution 47:22

17d ago47:22

47:22

Episode 7 is a continuation from the last episode in which we were examining the deep impact of the Christian faith on Western society. We started at the broad level of trends and concepts that were noted about the Christians, things that stood out to contemporary non-Christians, so much so, they wrote about these odd behaviors. We noted in episode…

Does Christianity Provide Anything Useful 43:26

24d ago43:26

43:26

After laying out the failures and challenges of "Christianity" (especially being critical of the idea of “Christian Nationalism”) as seen in history through the changes to the faith post-Constantine (the eventual Christendom), one could assume the next step is to admit Christianity is bad for society. However, upon examination, though, the evidence…

Lessons from Constantine 51:42

1M ago51:42

51:42

A key pressure point from Conservative Christians is a seeming call for “Christian Nationalism.” That idea suggests some version of domination and control by Christianity and Christian concepts. I understand that not everyone who is a Conservative politically feels this way, and even some who are Christians who are Conservatives would argue they do…

Following episode 3, we go deeper into the historical documents about the Christian past, looking at the connection of an earlier moment when “God’s people" were the majority culture but suddenly find themselves as ‘exiles’ and "the minority culture.” Last episode we got to this point after seeing the two groups at the center of the current US chur…

Tension Between Characters: Conservative and Progressive 47:47

1M ago47:47

47:47

Episode three further examines the context of what I perceive as a crisis in which USA society is in peril. It is my premise that there are two groups struggling at the center of the national tension, and both have incorrect grasp on history. That tension is one of worldview, and a passion for finding the best path forward for the nation. That is l…

There Was A Unique Foundation 44:28

2M ago44:28

44:28

We do not fully grasp the uniqueness of the US civic system (we now see “Democracies” everywhere and we think “casual, normal”), and in doing so we devalue the factors that went into the creation. That creation, and the foundation as well as the issues we are facing, are of a spiritual nature, and that comes out in “who” are the principle participa…

A Storm Blows Wildly 45:33

2M ago45:33

45:33

It is my contention, I believe obvious among any casual observation, that US society and culture, is in peril. As a nation, we are adrift at sea, hence “unmoored” from the safety and protection of good harbor, of a dock set upon a stable foundation. This setting has happened because over the previous 4-5 decades, knowledge, understanding, and appre…
