The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the right of Jeb Stuart. In my cultural sympathies, if we were comparing the blight of postmodernism to a vast but shallow goo pond, I would observe that I have spent many years on these stilts and have barely gotten any of it on me.

What The Book Of Job Teaches Us About Sin and Confession
Mar 2700:10:24Tap to summarizeIf you are anything like me, you may have wondered from time to time about the precise nature of the argument between Job and his three friends. Everyone in the book speaks a lot about the greatness of God, but in all the back-and-forth, what was the nub of the issue exactly?... His three friends thought that he should take responsibility in some way, but for what exactly? This Job refused to do, but what was he refusing to do exactly? Was it simply a matter of did too/did not? What were their arguments revolving around exactly? For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →The Talarician Jesus Juke
Mar 2500:03:58Tap to summarizeSo here is what happened—in case you are not up to speed. My friend Brooks Potteiger was on a podcast with Joshua Haymes and the topic of James Talarico, a death angel from Texas, came up. Now to be fair, he doesn’t look like a death angel. As one meme put it, he looks like a walking embodiment of that COEXIST bumper sticker. But despite the choir boy appearances, he is a card-carrying member of the abortion death cult.

Mar 2400:13:41Tap to summarizeWe have already had suicides of young people guided to it by chatbots. We already have had a pastor setting up chatbot hot line, with the semblance of his voice, so that parishioners can call and get comfort and counsel from something that is no more than a souped-up answering machine. As things currently stand, we are not ready for what is coming. People who worship the way we currently do are exposed and vulnerable….A people without worldview wisdom are not prepared for what is coming. It all seems ridiculous for those who are running along on common sense, but then absurd claims are advanced, and we discover that we have no grounded answers. Is a married man who has intercourse with a sexbot an adulterer? Scripture please. For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →A Rather Feisty Interview With the Jews Blues News
Mar 1800:10:09Tap to summarizeTo be frank, this entire interview occurred in the middle of a rather intense fever dream, which is probably the only reason it went as well as it did. For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →Virgin Mary Parades in the Year 2526
Mar 1600:11:31Tap to summarizeSo I want you to follow me closely here. A hypothetical Protestant republic, centuries from now, would be . . . chock full of Protestants. That would be the ethos of the whole place. Gaming it all out is how you test the principles of the various systems. What would still be there, and what would be long gone? Pride parades would be long gone. Catholic church bells would not be. Why and how come? Let’s talk about it. For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →Insurrection Barbie and the Plains of Meggido
Mar 1100:11:46Tap to summarizeNow with this literalist hermeneutic, it was natural that dispensationalists would interpret the many passages in the Old Testament that prophesied a glorious future for Israel as being about the literal nation of physical Israel (“literal unless absurd”)...And so this is one of the central reasons why evangelicals tend to have a default setting in support of Israel. However and whenever the world ends, Israel is going to be right in there, and very much a part of it. For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →A Theology of Slut Walks
Mar 900:04:53Tap to summarizeThe theology of a slut walk, however, by its outrageous embrace of slutty dress, behavior, and thought, absolutely and definitively rejects any level of moral responsibility for anything. Now lest I be misunderstood at this point — which I understand has happened before! — let me hasten to add that I am not seeking to minimize or excuse violent sexual behavior, or otherwise absolve rapists in any way.

Transcribe →A Mound of Pink Cotton Balls
Mar 400:10:08Tap to summarizeIn the biblical worldview, the seed of the woman is justified and the seed of the serpent is not....When you read about some incident, or see some appalling footage on the tube, and you immediately start thinking in terms of approved and justified groups—congratulations, you’ve just been ejected from every sane jury pool. You were applying the categories of one realm to the other one, and the seed of the woman are always called to keep them distinct and separate.

Transcribe →The Tender Mercies of the Wicked
Mar 300:10:20Tap to summarizeLet us begin with the death penalty. Because we refuse to execute the dangerous people who really should be executed, we wind up having to protect the general population by locking them up, and this has drifted into the practice of locking everybody up. This creates a huge apparatus of injustice. For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →As Events in the Middle East Unfold . . .
Mar 200:05:15Tap to summarizeSo it appears that events in the Middle East have, once again, overtooken us. The United States and Israel have launched a joint operation to topple the Iranian regime, and to date have successfully killed the Ayatollah and a number of other regime leaders. From a military standpoint, the early returns all point to a successful operation....what are we to make of it? For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
