Great conversation! Very encouraging to hear these younger conservative Christian minds discussing these issues.
Well, Keller now knows with absolute precision what *is* truth and what *is not* truth.
The Church of our Lord needs to be cleansed of the false teachers/fake preachers/false converts, etc., and a true revival for the rest.
Amen!
21st century Sunday sermons should NEVER be creepy translations of tacky TV government and corporate propaganda. All of this is as plain as day. Post-WW2 TV "Cold War Christianity" is a losing strategy. Why? Americans don't "watch TV" anymore. We have the data and receipts. Everyday, +20,000 Americans cancel their cable-TV subscriptions. That's +600,000 cancellations per month. Corporate "TV brands" are dying like flies. 63% (and growing) of Americans don't drink any soda. Think about that. Notice how Wholefoods doesn't sell any "TV brand" products? Now you notice. We need focused, bold and agenda-setting churches divorced from the TV state cult. @@michaellautermilch9185
Over on the Renaissance of Men podcast, there was a guy named Rory Groves who was talking about family businesses, particularly farming. He has a book, too, called Durable Trades: Family-Centered Economies That Have Stood the Test of Time. Worth a look.
Nostalgic and truly our reality, let’s not despair, endure, and restore
I read the book and LOVED it. GREAT interview 👍 😊
Mayberry - I want to live in Mayberry.
I have a friend who lives in Mayberry, lol, not sure it lives up to the image Andy Griffith portrayed.
@@briannehill7583 - Mt. Airy? That's the actual town that is "Mayberry," but yeah - things change.
@@timbushong4387Love Andy Griffith! We also have a Mt. Airy over here in NE GA!😊
@@kathyhart2309 - I was there in NC back in the early 90's - there was only *one* reference to TAG Show ('Aunt Bee's Cafe'), but now I guess it's all over the place.
"Goober says 'hey.'"
@@timbushong4387 yes ! Thats where she lived. I've never been so I can't comment. It did look super cute from pics I saw. But unfortunately even the picture perfect towns hide deep dark secrets. Merdie ( her name was Mary Lee but Merdie was a nick name) was very sweet.
Thanks, Jon, sounds like a good book to read. Is there somewhere to go to check out that land that you showed at the end, please?

My brother pointed out that a lot of Calvinists/Presbyterians in our area have a big emphasis on missions as the bridge between the kingdom of light (spirituality, prayer, worship, heart) and the kingdom of darkness (politics, unbelievers, law, parental authority and discipline). This is super sad because there are or at least were so many good Presbyterians throughout history. And Calvin was a great man. But once my brother pointed that out, it was a LIGHTBULB moment for me. So THAT'S why they soooo strongly emphasize missions! Their trust is in evangelism/missions to save people, and not in Jesus Christ himself! They don't realize that sometimes you can do things that are offensive to the world (making abortion punishable by death, banning no-fault divorce, telling your daughter she MAY NOT marry an unbeliever, etc.), and the Lord Jesus can actually USE that to save unbelievers! Just seeing that God's Law is serious and worthy of being obeyed can really hit home to an unbeliever who has never been told "no" or anything about right or wrong. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." This doesn't just mean "show unbelievers how happy Jesus makes you, or how much money you give to homeless people", but it actually means "obey/love God in all areas of life, and this will look like a bright light in the darkness to unbelievers". That's something these so-called Two-Kingdom people just don't get.
Sorry that the Calvinists in your area don't care about politics at all and only care about missions. But being a Calvinist is believing the five points not what you're specifically seeing in behavior in your neighborhood. In fact most Calvinist really like a Calvinist Pastor named Voddie Baucham and he often goes into politics and a women named Allie Beth Stuckey who doesn't go on missions but addresses culture and politics.
That's true, they are both very popular. I wonder what my friend would think of Voddie. By the way there is a really nice circle of friends in my area who love John Calvin I don't know if we would call ourselves "Calvists" but we love John Calvin and so I know there are solid believers around here too, just not many of us. We keep getting pushed out of those other churches, or at least not finding deep friendships there. :p Btw I like your profile pic and username, haha. @@person6768
I keep looking at Ridge Runner properties but really wish it were located in TN or some more conservative state. I see KY as squishy purple, not the ideal place to build a household, family, school, church, etc.
TN is not even that conservative
They just bought a large piece of land in TN
His speaking voice reminds me of Nick Fuentes.
David French is nothing but a grifter.
Yep, he came to my college (which I soon afterwards quit because they were woke but claimed to be Christian) and tried to convince us the Biden election wasn't faked. . . in "chapel". . . and that NYT wasn't a corrupt propaganda machine. His reasoning? "I work at NYT!" I was thinking, that doesn't prove NYT is innocent, it proves you are corrupt!
He is like Samson grinding for the Philistines except that he is doing it willingly.
28:58. I don't think the creators of the He Gets Us campaign are Tim Keller evangelicals. I think they are Emergent Church apostates.
I wonder how many George Baileys were never born because of abortion.
would it be enough to turn Pottersville into Potter's planet?
Hi godly brother, could you direct me to a video on Calvinism, "spirit-led living", and putting our "witness" first, even above what is true and life-giving and Biblical and obedient to God? I have had a childhood friend recently tell me they believe the spirit is leading them to witness to a friend by basically accepting his homo/trans lifestyle. He says we can't address any such sin the person first becomes a Christian. My friend is a strong Calvinist and I wondered if this is common among Calvinists, this kind of emphasis on the Spirit OVER the Word as opposed to being led by the Spirit WITH the Word of God. What is happening to the church?? Do you have a video on this topic or would you consider making one? Thanks.
It seems like you will find "The Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age" helpful. It addresses the very points you mentioned.
I recommend watching Ray Comfort's evangelism videos. He uses the law (tells people what sin is) before presenting the gospel. This is the biblical pattern, and Ray explains that very well.
If anything, Calvinists tend to be Cessationists, which are sometimes characterized by Continuationists as putting the Word (being the Bible) over the witness of the Holy Spirit
Not really a soteriology issue. Your friend is unequally yoked to his gay friend.
I'm sorry, I don't know what soteriology means. I do agree that my friend probably thinks that by partnering with evil, we can convert it. Is that what your saying?@@anthonyfava9367
Peter Singer, the most successful atheist in modern history.
Wow, Trump does a lot of tongue in cheek when he is speaking about his skills, its funny that Aaron can't understand that.
I don't remember that the topic of Trump's "skills" came up. The only significant, salient reference to Trump which I remember was their talking about how unacceptable Trump would have been as a possible President to Evangelicals thirty years ago, while now, it's rare to find an Evangelical who doesn't think it's essentially a matter of life and death for America that Trump be elected in November.
They were, in short, alluding to the pliability of the standards of American Evangelicals. Why would Trump have been an unthinkable candidate for Evangelicals to vote for thirty years ago? Why is it he's now seen as indispensable by most?
They didn't quite come out and say it, but they didn't need to: the American Evangelicals of thirty years ago were far different people from those of today. Obviously, much of this is due to the changing of the guard which you get over a generation and a half as millions of people die and their places are taken by millions of others. But I think the main point to be drawn is that this current generation of American Evangelicals is much smaller numerically and much less resolute in theology and in standards than those of thirty years ago. It's not, as they say, a good look for us. And maybe the host and his guest don't quite draw the inferences which I do.
But I do, indeed, draw them.
What in Heaven's name, truly, has gone wrong with Evangelicals? When has Trump ever been better than vulgar, sleazy, greedy, dishonest, and narcissistic? I can understand why Evangelicals will vote for him. I'll probably vote for him, or if not him, for Robert Kennedy, whom I could vote for with some pride. I could never be proud of having voted for Trump. It says a great deal, none of it good, about American Evangelicals that they are so enthusiastic in their support of him.
@@bobtaylor170 shame on you if you could vote for a pro-abortion liberal like Robert F Kennedy Jr
@@bobtaylor170 if you don't think Trump has ever been better than vulgar greedy dishonest and narcissistic you haven't been paying attention. The fact that he is the only one of our last three presidents who has a genuine love and concern for the American people certainly counts for a lot
@@bobtaylor170 it is manipulative to characterize people as thinking it's a matter of life and death that Trump be elected. Rather people feel that the future of the Republic hinges on the Democrats not being elected. Personally I would have FAR preferred Ron DeSantis. But I think that the voters have seen too many turncoat and weak irresolute Republicans and so they go with the guy they know. I wish it had not been that way but I'm not angry at them I understand why they feel that way
@@conceptualclarity I doubt Trump cares about anything which isn't of Donald Trump. He's a malignant narcissist/sociopath. He loves being the center of attention, which is far different from loving your country and being willing to sacrifice for it. He's entertaining, amusing, and I'll probably vote for him because the alternative is so much worse. That doesn't mean I'm an enthusiast for him.
People who are terrified of Trump are rather thick, or maybe they're being disingenuous.
1. He was President for four years, and I don't remember that the world was more violent, but considerably less, when he was President.
2. Anyone who gets to be President is a narcissist, and narcissists don't want to screw things up.
Did john explain his conversation about his phone case? No, that's another video he wants nothing to do with. Okay, go on about Aibgenesis.
?
? Bot?
Such an Evang. Title ha
I just don't get all the bedwetting over Trump. You got two choices. Ya gonna vote for the democrat/communist? Or the guy who will advance your public policy preferences? There is no "moral quandary " to overcome. This is American politics.
We voted 3rd party in 2016 (as we have since at least ‘96). Just like Clinton, if his wives cannot implicitly trust him, why should I?
Voted for him in 2020. Even though he did some things we disliked, he was making all the right heads explode. And vs. Joe Biden? PLEASE!!
But seriously looking at non-Trump options again, because of his refusal to repent for his Prince Fauci / oPeRaTiOn WaRp SpEEd / “Cuomo handled Covid better than DeSantis” crap. Along with his willingness to “take the guns first and do due process second,” and his softening on pro-life so soon after helping bring about Dobbs.
The guy just has no bedrock, foundational principles, and is utterly unwilling to own up to his mistakes.
And lockdowns and vaccine mandates are not “my public policy preferences.”
I absolutely agree. That bedwetting is the one thing I don't like about Renn.
"Trump" is a FETISH of mass-media inside baseball cocktail party chatter. Mass-media in our USA is the state-sponsored cult. Our remaining flickering and dimming "luminaries" in our mass-media state cult fear losing their publisher advances and promotional contracts. Just follow the money and "the business models." It's not pretty, but that warrants close examination. Once you see this all plainly, it's as plain as day. @@conceptualclarity
I can't stand listening to Aaron Renn. I'll skip this episode
I'm kind of with you on that. He just talks and talks and cuts Jon off alot.
@@theDrewzy1 plus, he's an open timothy keller fanboy. He's admitted that without shame multiple times I've heard from his own mouth. Disgusting
@@micahlantz905 surprised to hear you say that. What I did notice in this podcast was that Renn did not recognize the depth of Tim Keller's animosity toward the white Republican-voting majority of evangelicals. Keller clearly expressed it; he just wasn't as much of a bomb-thrower given to histrionics as Russell Moore.
I DNF'd it too
