What is the Family Economy and How Can it Prepare us for the Future by Looking back to the Past - Ep17

In this episode of The Family Pulpit Podcast the dynamic duo reunite for a rousing conclusion to Season 1 (potentially). We take some time to define The Family Economy by exploring the meaning and what it might look like in practice. There are a few rabbit trails along the way, including the co-hosts design of an 11,000 ton ship. Is the way forward in the midst of an AI revolution by going back to the future with The Family or Household Economy?

What do Bloody Mary, John Hooper, 1776, and Christian Nationalism have in common?

In this episode of Notes from the Pulpit we examine the brutal death of (arguably) the Father of Puritanism, John Hooper, under the brutal regime of 'Bloody Mary'. Hooper, and those separatists like him, led some to flee to the New World to found new colonies. These colonies would form the foundation for America and give us reason to celebrate the 250th birthday! From the murder of men like Hooper we learn an important historical lesson, Christianity from a top-down legislative approach has always led to persecution. Despite this, Christian Nationalism seems either naive or ignorantly complicit in desiring a Christian prince.

JD Hall on Dispensationalism

In this mobile edition of Notes from the Pulpit, I lay out some of the generational divisions that are taking place before going into some of the basic beliefs of Dispensationalism. Hall's (mis)characterization of Dispensationalism's origins beginning with John Nelson Darby is classic historical regurgitation. He and many others have used Darby as a scapegoat for an otherwise complex movement that developed over time. Finally, and more importantly, Hall, as with so many others, claim that God's future plan for Israel is limited to dispensational beliefs. It's simply not true. That God isn't finished with Israel has been the majority position held by Christians since the New Testament, including the Reformed, Puritans, Charles Spurgeon, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and others.

The Importance of Creation and the Image of God

In this mobile edition of Notes from the Pulpit I mention the failed narrative of aliens with the release of Aliens – The White House [https://www.whitehouse.gov/aliens/] We then bring up three age-old philosophical questions that we stumbled on with our opening 3 podcast episodes: 1. 1. How did we get here? 2. 2. Who are we? 3. 3. Where are we going or what are we supposed to do? In this brief review-like episode, I bring our attention back to creation and image of God in order to help us refocus on answering those questions. In doing so, we are more prepared to respond to the coming assault of the technocrats, AI, and humanoid robots. 1.

Image of God and Post-Industrial Man

Another mobile edition of Notes from the Pulpit. On this morning drive, we review quickly review some of the man topics covered when we began the main show before landing on Image of God and how that relates to Post-Industrial (Revolution) Man and its twin emphasis on the individual. If we're going to be prepared for what's coming in the near future, we need to have a firm understanding of the Creator, His creation, and what it means to be made in the Image of God.
