We discuss what science is, why it’s important for Christians, and whether modern society is destroying it.

Due process is in many ways, the glue that holds a just society together. It allows sinful men and women to seek justice without violating the rights of those who have been accused and puts safeguards in place to prevent the abuse of power. And while we tend to think of justice as being a function of the civil government, justice is and should be a part of every aspect of our lives including our familial relationships, our church, work, schools, and associations. But as much as due process is necessary for the continuation of a free society, it also requires that people at all levels of society understand its necessity and that they demand its rules be followed for everyone. When the people, particularly the people of God, forget the necessity of due process, partiality and other forms of injustice increase, and tyranny, the arbitrary enforcement of the law, becomes the norm.

While this episode was recorded two weeks ago, well before the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Florida estate, there have been many examples of the failure of due process in the United States over the last few years. From election scandals to impeachment hearings, from the disparities in treatment between violent rioters and peaceful protesters before and following the 2020 elections to the recent January 6th hearings, there has been no shortage of cases where our representatives and even our courts have shown great partiality and failure to follow fundamental principles of due process.

In this episode, we discuss what due process is and why it is necessary. We talk about how due process applies to government as well as church and family life and we try to walk through specific examples. Due process is incredibly important and we can see how a lack of understanding about its necessity is harming our churches, our homes, and the entire nation.

As the WHO and the USA declare a public health emergency for monkeypox, it’s worth asking the question – how concerned should we be?

We recorded this more than a week ago, before the US declared a state of emergency, and some of the numbers have shifted in the mean time.

Everyone, and we mean absolutely everyone, at some point in their life struggles with worry. Whether it is because of sickness, financial troubles, relationship difficulties, or just the uncertainty that the future may hold, it is so easy to surrender our minds and dwell upon the unpleasant outcomes that are beyond our control. And some of us really do struggle with it constantly. We go from one worried moment to the next, scared, upset, and anxious, and it negatively impacts almost every aspect of our lives. But here’s the question that’s really worth asking: Is worry a sin? And if it is a sin, how do we go about repenting from our worry, and as a necessary part of that repentance, to what should we turn to replace it?

In this episode, we discuss the nature of worry and anxiety. We look at scripture to differentiate between those things we should care about and those things that we should not and we talk about how there is a very real difference between planning and preparing versus worrying and giving in to anxious thoughts. We spend a decent amount of time talking about the mechanics of worry and specifically how to turn away from it. We also discuss how there are different types of sin that can lead to worry, and how worry and work are closely related. Worry is powerful. It can paralyze us and captivate our minds so that we are able to do nothing else, but Jesus Christ came to break the power of sin and to make us profitable servants for him.

The unexpected overturning of Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey by the Supreme Court is rightly being celebrated as a political and moral victory. But it is important to understand what this decision actually achieves. In terms of immediate effect, this decision does little to change the net number of abortions performed in the United States, but this is not a fundamentally bad thing. By acknowledging that the Constitution does not provide a fundamental right to abortion and returning the decision to the people, a new type of discourse is now possible – one where the actual underlying moral issues that cause abortion can be discussed and addressed and where new laws that were previously considered impossible can now be considered.
