The 51st State, And A New Series Introduction
This week the Rebels introduce their new upcoming series “the ditch on both sides”…
P Nate and Pootie discuss a popular topic in the news, Trumps comments about annexing Canada economically so that we become the 51st state. Despite how unrealistic this notion actually is, it has caused many to discuss whether this is good or bad for Canada. How should Christians think about the topic and how does it highlight the principle foundation for our new series?

How to Win the World (Part 13): Learn to Love God’s Law Word ft. Dr. Joe Boot
The Law Word of God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Ps. 119:105), and Isaiah makes it abundantly clear that the Messianic reign of King Jesus will spread that Law throughout all the earth (Is 2:2-4, 9:2-7, 42:1-9, 52:6-53).
On this last episode of our series on How to Win the World, P Nate and Elder P are joined by friend of the show, Founder & President of the Ezra Institute, Rev. Dr. Joseph Boot, to discuss theonomy and a properly biblical view of the law and gospel distinction, and the centrality of God’s Law in the transformation of the world.
