  • It’s Not Whether but Which. Xn Nationalism of what?

    Christian Nationalism straw man.You do not deal with any of the serious arguments, just created a punching bag. So tell me if we do not base are laws on God’s law which of men’s reasons and morality should we base our laws on? God doesn’t care about that? have you read Psalm two? If a civil magistrate becomes a Christian he comes to you as a pastor and says how should I now govern? Are you going to say sorry that’s Christian nationalism I don’t have anything to tell you?

  • Thinking Christian-ly

    Understanding the signs of the times…and knowing with wisdom what to do. This podcast is so helpful for helping me cultivate correct orthodoxy. The culture challenges Christians on all sides - thinking correctly is not easy any more, and issues change lighting fast…it takes work to keep up - listen here for help. My life turned around in the late 1990’s precisely because I started listening to Dr. White & Meck Community Church. You can get the same accurate instruction on this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CCP214: On the Friendship of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien
Q: What was the most important spark each gave the other?
The moment Lewis read Tolkien's Lay of Leithaeon signaled a safe space for sharing deep mythic work, while Lewis provided encouragement that helped Tolkien move forward with his mythic storytelling and worldview.
CCP214: On the Friendship of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien
Q: Let's not take for granted that people know who we are talking about, particularly increasingly younger generations or more to the point why we're talking about them.
H Hendrix explains the motivation for exploring Lewis and Tolkien now, emphasizing their lasting impact on fantasy, myth, and faith, and how their friendship created a blueprint for cultural influence.
CCP211: On Socialism
Q: What does the Bible say about socialism?
The Bible doesn't prescribe a political system but provides principles—personal responsibility, private ownership, generosity, and justice for workers—that inform political and economic thinking rather than endorsing a specific system.
CCP211: On Socialism
Q: Now, can you first help us understand what socialism is?
Socialism is an economic and political system where the community or state owns and controls the major means of production, aiming for reduced wealth inequality and universal welfare, with variations such as democratic socialism and social democracy.
CCP212: On Interfaith Marriages
Q: What practical steps can a believer take to help a spouse grow in faith without pressuring them?
Harness support from others, exercise restraint in outreach, live out a consistent Christian life, and pray intensely for the spouse's transformation while avoiding coercive tactics.
