Rebel - Podcast for Cultural Engagement

The Rebels are back!  Or at least one of them is, and with a super special guest!  Elder P is joined by his wonderful wife Heather to talk about the battle for Christian contentment.

The Rebels are live at the 2025 Men of Valour Conference at Crossroads Bible Church, Ingersoll Ontario Canada.

We all know that there are ditches on both sides of the road, and it's equally easy to fall into either one of them. The Bible says that God blesses obedience and curses disobedience. Hit the play button to hear where Pastor's Nate & Chris go with this!

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?

This week P Nate & Pootie discuss an application point in a recent sermon about how Christians must cultivate a love for and a delight in learning to do hard things.

For the Rebels annual Christmas episode P Nate and Pootie take some time to talk about the biblical theology of feasting and merry-making. From the Rebels to our listeners we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Nee Year spent advancing Christs Kingdom on Earth while we enjoy all our Ling has provided for us!

Nate Wright: This week P Nate and Pootie look in the rear view mirror to discuss the recent online kerfuffle regarding declarations, anon accounts and neo-nazis. Ultimately the Rebels weigh in with more of a discussion on how Christians should handle themselves online and how we approach controversy in general.

After our last big series “How to Win the World” the Rebels, in the middle of moving to a new church building, took some much needed down time… but now we are so back and a lot has happened in the downtime: Donald Trump has been elected so we take the time to discuss what that means for all faithful Christians working to build Christendom 2.0. Reformed Brothers continue to squabble online. The wokeys keep fighting a losing battle… in this episode P Nate and Pootie weigh in on all that’s going on.

On this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Engagement, P Nate delivers another powerful sermon on how to win the culture by building kingdom culture through faithful service to Christ our King.

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.
