This week P Nate and Pootie welcome back to the show Marcus Pittman, filmmaker, podcaster and CEO of Loor.tv. Marcus discusses with the Rebels the mandate to put art, media and entertainment under the feet of Jesus in victory. To win the world we have to win in the sphere of the arts where minds and affections are moulded. The conversation reveals a major problem in North American Christianity: it’s lost the risk taking courage it takes to win this cultural battle!

In the last decade, not only have Christians seen secular institutions collapse all around us but sadly, most Christian ministries, organizations and institutions have failed us, compromised or proven themselves to be sliding to the left. This week, P Nate is joined by Pastor and Chief Editor of Clear Truth Media Jamie Bambrick from Ireland to discuss the need to rebuild Christian institutions for God's glory and the advancement of His kingdom.

This week, the Rebels are joined by Pastor Joel Webbon of Right Response Ministries to discuss Reformed Confessionalism. One of the things we must do if we want to be faithful in the season in which God has placed us is to be willing to re-dig the wells of Abraham... to stand on the shoulders of the political, ecclesiastical and familial Fathers who have come before us. But what about everything we experienced in 2020? We can't deny that we live in Trashworld, that everyone has lied to us and that it is easy to be suspicious of everything. How do we anchor ourselves to the faith once and for all delivered to the saints while simultaneously cultivating masculine suspicion and curiosity? Joel comes on to discuss all of this and how talking through these topics creates the kind of men needed to defeat Trashworld.

We have crossed over the mid-way point in this series “How to Win the World” after last week's mid-season review. This week, P Nate is joined by Ben Garrett from Haunted Cosmos to discuss the theme of storytelling. Throughout Scripture, history is described as the unfolding drama of God's great narrative. How does understanding God's story properly and finding our place in it help to win the world? How does reading, loving, and writing stories help advance the Kingdom of God in history? Join Ben and P Nate for some answers!

P Nate and Pootie take a quick breather from this series eight weeks in to review the interviews and discuss what they’ve learned. There have been so many great interviews, great conversations and so many take-aways we needed to slow down to digest it all. If you missed any of the episodes, now is your chance to catch up before the next half of the series drops!

As the Rebels continue the summer series on how to win the world we turn our attention to evangelism. How can we win the world if we do not seek the lost with the transforming power of the gospel? Chris invites on returning guest and friend of the show Cory McKenna, who is an equipping evangelist with the Cross Current, to discuss how real, biblical evangelism is the heart of cultural reformation.

The Ezra Institute brings you a new series with the Rebels when P Nate and Pootie are joined by a variety of guests talking about several key practical outworkings of theological concepts that will help Christians expand the Kingdom of God, see the dark pushed back and slowly (like leaven working through the loaf) win the world. This episode P Nate and Pootie invite Doug Wilson onto the show to discuss an unlikely place for world conquering to start... with corporate worship. Wilson lays out a vision of worship that extends for the corporate gathering of local churches to the private practices of every Christian behind closed doors. If we want to win the world we need to start with proper worship... because in the Christian worldview worship is warfare!

The Ezra Institute brings you a new series with the Rebels when P Nate and Pootie are joined by a variety of guests talking about several key practical outworkings of theological concepts that will help Christians expand the Kingdom of God, see the dark pushed back and slowly (like leaven working through the loaf) win the world.

This week the Rebels launch into a new and exciting series called "How to Win the World" -- in this episode P Nate and Pootie lay a foundational hope that the world can be won and how God plans to accomplish that will be worked out in the unfolding series through a number of special guests.

This week P Nate and Elder P are joined in studio by Sye Ten Bruggencate. Even though the plan was to talk about presuppositional apologetics (that show will drop next week) the Rebels got sidetracked talking about Sye’s long journey to Crossroads, his thoughts on the “Christ is King” controversy and of course… we had to talk about the world ending (again) on April 8th.

This week P Nate and Pootie discuss a number of relevant cultural issues including Canadian censorship, P Diddy's unheard of scandal and why there is media blackout on it as well as answering a listener question about whether or not Christians should watch "The Chosen".

As P Nate and Pootie prepare for their trip south they take the time to quickly record a new episode talking through the headlines of the day. The Rebel podcast is meant to help equip you to engage culture with a biblical worldview, so thinking Christianly about what’s going on is a necessary first step.

After the popularity of our Biblical Cosmology series in the fall last year, Pootie finally plays catch up listening to the Haunted Cosmos and the Rebels nerd out on the unhinged. There is an immense value in Christians understanding what the Bible has to say about the unseen realm, but pastorally P Nate wanted to issue a warning that this is an important secondary issue in scripture that can sometimes become dangerous if we make a secondary storyline THE storyline.

After P Nate and Joe Boot talked at length last week about the Alistair Begg controversy, the Rebels take some time to reflect on the animosity towards what has recently been called "The Moscow Mood" by Kevin De Young. How should Christians engage with controversy, error and cultural issues. What's loving? What's tone policing? And what do the scriptures say? Articles referenced in the episode: Original artcile by Kevin De Young: https://clearlyreformed.org/on-culture-war-doug-wilson-and-the-moscow-mood/ Doug Wilsons response: https://dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/novembers-done-kevin-deyoung.html Joe Rigney's Article (if you only read one): https://americanreformer.org/2023/12/on-satire-moods-and-what-were-known-for/

Oddly this episode is one of our most popular and most asked for... so get ready for some cringey boasting as P Nate, Pootie and Air Jordan come back together with their 2023 book lists going through what books they read, how many and what books won the fairly arbitrary rewards we mostly made up on the spot.
