There is a great book making its rounds in North American Evangelicalism called Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. It’s a good (not great) book. But is it the RIGHT book? Jesus chastised the Pharisees for failing to read the signs of their times... of course Christ was gentle and lowly, but he was also bold and courageous... which Christ-like characteristics are most needed for the times in which God has placed us?

There is a theology of fleeing. Jesus said when we are persecuted in one town to flee to the next... many like-minded Christians have already begun to think through whether the loss of personal liberties, coercive vaccine measures and slide towards totalitarian communism is enough to motivate us to seek greener (and more importantly freer) pastures elsewhere. In this episode P Nate and Pootie argue that Christians should stay put and fight.

After some pushback on our episode defending Joe Boot and Theonomy, P Nate and Pootie talk about whether some things in that episode crossed a line, which leads to some conversation about when and how to use a ‘serrated edge’ while confronting brothers. The duo then go on to talk about what it’s like to say hard things in a culture that is used to squishy things... which leads to discussing some recent(ish) news events that they haven’t had a chance to weigh in on.

With the world in upheaval it seems like very few things matter as much as Christian community. When it comes to the call to be a “city on a hill”, what does that look like for local churches and how can we best position ourselves when the pressure of the State starts closing in from all sides?

P Nate and Pootie are back in Garage-Mahal ready to defend not only the theological orthodoxy of theonomy but of friend and mentor Dr. JOE Boot. A lot has been said over the last year and much criticism has been directed at Joe, the Institute and Theonomy as a whole. Is it warranted? Is theonomy dangerous? Do those hurling insults even understand the position? ... or is it not really about theonomy at all? After recording this episode (but before we posted it) Joe and the boys at Ezra did their own podcast and rebuttal which can be found here: https://www.ezrainstitute.com/resource-library/podcast/more-objections-to-theonomy/ To support the show you can become a Fight Laugh Feast Club Member here: flfnetwork.com/membership/ You can also join the rebellion by sharing and inviting your friends to like the content on facebook: facebook.com/rebelpodcast or by supporting us through patreon at patreon.com/reformedrebel

P Nate and Pootie come out of semi-retirement in order to talk through the bombardment of lies being propagated in the culture. From election coverage, to covid information, the trucker convoy and now War in Ukraine propaganda we see more and more Christians forgetting an inescapable concept: there is no neutrality. We are called to be discerning truth seekers... how can we do that?

P Nate and Pootie fire up the recording equipment to talk about the unraveling covid narrative. With so many athletes and high profile healthy people developing life altering side effects, surely the world will come to its senses... right? Well not exactly, in fact many seem to be doubling down. So what do we do? How should a Christian, who is thinking biblically respond when all logic and reason seems to have been abandoned? When is it time to take a page out of Elijah’s book and begin to MOCK?!

P Nate is joined by friend of the show, pastor Jacob Reaume of Trinity Bible Chapel, to help you think through who you partner with right now. Like everything else, gospel and ministry partnerships have been affected by this global pandemic, differences in approach, response and ministry going forward have broken friendships, ministries partnerships and much more. How do we discern who is a friend and who is a foe right now? How do we know who to support? How do we navigate doctrinal differences with those whose political interests align? P Nate and Jacob talk through these issues.

In true Rebel fashion, this episode is all about helping you think through all that’s going on in the culture from a biblical perspective. What is happening when citizens place think it is every politician, neighbour, business owner and pastor’s job to keep them safe and sanitized? We live in a culture that wants what God has not given us and doesn’t want what He has. We want to give personal responsibility to others, but don’t want any ourselves. We have been on this trajectory for a while... but this is what happens when responsibility is lost.

PNate and Pootie get back behind the mics with a clear game plan... Which gets quickly tossed aside to discuss V@X mandates and how Christians should respond to over reach with government, employers, schools... And even churches!

With P Nate and Pootie having a hard time resyncing schedules after some vacation, Nate invites Crossroad member Anthony Uyl to come in and record on a topic the two often find themselves chatting about: Spiritual Warfare. Why is it that all the real-estate in Christian books, podcasts and teaching on the topic of spiritual warfare seems to be coming from the charismatic camp? Is there a reformed perspective on spiritual warfare? P Nate and Anthony discuss, angels, demons, principalities and even... essential oils!

As P Nate comes off vacation, he and Pootie take a look at the headlines: Churches burning, Olympic Athletes dishonoring the flag, Stats Canada numbers showing the pandemic within the pandemic... there’s never a shortage of news to cover these days! So as the Rebels talk through the news items they’ve missed over the last several weeks, they try to apply Christian thinking to the news we are intaking.

This is an episode from several weeks back that somehow didn't upload properly here. Some of you have already heard this episode if you listen on the FLF network App. We apologize for the drop in sound quality near the end... the power cut out while recording and we had to make due.

The phrase written during the French Revolution by Jacques mallet du Pan, reads: “Like Saturn, the revolution Eats itself” – that’s been colloquially rewritten to “A revolution devours its children.” What exactly does that mean? Many have said we are in the middle of a cultural revolution... with Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality redefining power structures in society we have already seen the power of #MeToo and BLM to bring about massive and quick cultural changes. If we are in a cultural revolution... how should Christians respond? What’s the biblical solution to the pervasive problems of revolutionary thinking? And perhaps most importantly... what does all of this have to do with BATMAN?!

P Nate and Pootie are joined by Pastor Steve Richardson to discuss the recent arrest of Pastor Tim Stephens and the hypocrisy on display by the officials that put him there: If you would like to send mail to Tim, he can receive mail at: Tim Stephens c/o Calgary Remand Centre 12200 85 St NW Calgary, AB T3R 1J3 They are pretty strict about what can be received. All incoming mail is searched and the letter can't contain: -perfumes or liquids -contraband Letters sent must be: -written in normal blue or black ink -sealed in a basic white envelope -clearly addressed -unmarked by stickers, crayon, paint, or marker Calgary Police Commission: 403-428-8914 Calgary Police Service:PSS@calgarypolice.ca Contact Premier Jason Kenney: https://www.alberta.ca/premier-contact.cfm Telephone Phone: 780-427-2251 (Edmonton) Toll free: 310-0000 (in Alberta) Phone: 780-427-2711 (outside Alberta)

P Nate and Pooite look at the cultural landscape that is dividing everyone into “vaxxed” and “non-vaxxed” categories. What is dangerous about this mentality? How should Christians think through a social credit system where businesses and government “reward” what they deem as “good behaviour”? The conversation meanders into a general talk about what is sparking the covid-fear and why are so many evangelicals so outspoken in their criticism of pastors with open churches?

This week P Nate and Pootie are back in studio (Garage-Mahal) to catch up on the news and to talk about division in the church. News items covered: Nate finally gets some charges, James Coates sham trial didn’t go so well, Fauci email fiasco and a local tragedy as a Muslim family is devastated by a young man in a truck (mother, father, grandmother and daughter all died, 9 year old son in hospital) The conversation then transitions into how we assimilate news and cultural events without succumbing to tribalism... let’s let the Bible dictate how we think through issues, not the stance of our tribe!
