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.

We Are Cooking on the Front Burner Now
2w ago00:12:34Tap to summarizeI think we should be frank with one another at this point and just acknowledge that the world is having itself an upheaval. If this is not the Fourth Turning that Howe and Strauss wrote about back in the day, it is bidding fair to approximate some kind of white water turning. As the saying goes, “first they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.” But all along that process is a good deal of churn...For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →Creationism, the American Founding, and Individual Rights
3w ago00:10:19Tap to summarizeThe Declaration famously says that we are “endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.”... The American Founding was a creationist event, and precisely because it was a creationist event, we have enjoyed a truly solid foundation for the blessings of liberty.

Transcribe →A Diamond-Studded Turd
3w ago00:13:20Tap to summarizeWhat I am addressing here is the rank and manifest hypocrisy. In the original tweet, my point was that a hypocrite has no right to proclaim that Christ is king over all when it is manifestly clear that He is not king of his own mouth, or keyboard, or meme strategies. How can you declare that Christ is king over all those realms that you cannot change when His kingship is not apparent in those realms that your repentance could change?For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →AI and the Cream Rising
4w ago00:08:04Tap to summarizeI have already raised the central concern that we should have concerning AI, which is the problem that I have identified as AI-dolatry. AI excels at role-playing and has no scruples about role-playing as the Most High God...When professional worriers express their concerns about the impact of AI, it is often the economic side of things that comes to the fore. As mentioned above, I don’t think that is the main thing, but it is a thing, and so we should address it.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →Less and Less Like a Judge at a Flower Show
May 1800:05:36Tap to summarizeYour parents are the most important relationship in your life right now....And your parents have been constant, and they are number one to you right now. If you were to come to Christ, He insists upon taking that primary place, which means that your parents would then be necessarily demoted.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →Christians, Gerrymandering, and the Legitimate Uses of Political Power
May 1200:09:06Tap to summarizeI don’t want to seem ungrateful because I really have benefited much from the contributions of what might be called “Banner of Truth” postmillennialism. However, the emphasis with this strand of theology is almost entirely focused on the gigantic ticker tape parade of evangelism, mission work, intense revivals, and more. Scarcely a thought is given to how we might clean up after the parade, who would be responsible for that task, and what our laws would look like after the revival.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →Slicker Than a Pocket Full of Pudding
May 600:10:57Tap to summarizeCandace began her public career as an ambitious leftist climber. She then had a “conversion” to conservatism as signaled by her Blexit move… After Charlie’s death, what should have been a unifying moment for conservatives if ever there was one, she began an unrelenting attack on Turning Point, Erika, and assorted others, and now appears to be making her move. She wants the right and left to “come together” in a spirit of unity… What is actually happening in all this is that she is returning to her factory settings, which in my view are clearly on the left.And Nick Fuentes?… Fuentes was doing the same thing as Epps on J6, whooping and hollering to incite the masses, and yet the Feds decided to overlook all that. You know, boys will be boys. Especially when it is one of our boysFor more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →In Honor of Ben Sasse
May 500:12:52Tap to summarizeBen Sasse is dying in public, and knows that he has very limited time remaining on this earth. He sees it coming, and is looking straight at it. And so we can see his faith, his courage, and his wisdom. It is on display for us, and it is obviously the real thing. Christ is there.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →Hate Farm Subsidies from the SPLC
Apr 3000:08:36Tap to summarizeWe are of course talking about the indictments that were just handed down by the Department of Justice. Now of course all the usual cautions apply—an indictment is not a conviction, etc. But because of the open and obvious grift that has been on display at the SPLC for years and years, and because of the situations that involved us here in Moscow directly, these indictments are not alleging anything that would be out of character at all. All of this really does fit into the “it figures” category.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
Transcribe →The Goyim, the Gayim, and These Our Demented Times
Apr 2700:15:33Tap to summarizeSo it appears that Israel will be throwing a huge sodomy bash at the Dead Sea, near the site of the lately-departed Sodom and Gomorrah, thus setting forth a grim exemplar of insolence history month. And it was not just a privately organized thing either—the government of Israel is behind it, promoting and pushing the event.For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
