Rebel - Podcast for Cultural Engagement

Usually if you have to stop and answer the question of whether you're a cult, you are! In all seriousness though, as P Nate and #1 (Pootie) continue to equip their people to respond to criticism they take on the accusation of being "culty" in the tight knit community. What does authentic Christian community look like? What did it look like in Acts 2?

This week the Rebels continue to equip their people to respond to some criticism lobbed at the church... for any listeners who find themselves answering questions about their "weird eschatology" this episode will be of help.

P Nate and Pootie FINALLY get back into Garage-Mahal, in time to lament their inability to join the rest of the network at the Fight Laugh Feast Conference in Knoxville. Canadian FLF colleagues Aaron Rock and Andrew DeBartolo get turned away at the US border... and P Nate takes some time to respond to church criticism... it's GOOD to be back.

Get into the Fight! by The Rebels - Nate Wright & Chris Poots

With Roe v Wade getting overturned there has, as predicted, been a flurry of social media posts making no small disturbance.

In another effort to get really practical, P Nate and Pootie discuss another strategy often talked about in Pastoral counseling: the issue of controlling your thought-life. Many Churches and Christians have an improper understanding of spiritual warfare. At the core, spiritual warfare is a battle over who, or what controls your thinking. In this episode the rebels discuss how to train your mind to think Christianly.

This week P Nate and Pootie tackle a subject that has been the focal point of many pastoral care sessions over the years. In pastoral counseling Nate will often be asked how parents can keep their kids free from the entanglement of the world, the LGBT agenda, the lure of bad friend groups etc. The advice given applies equally though to having fulfilling marriages, thriving churches, great communities and even dynamic businesses. The answer is simple, but requires explanation: Tell a better story.

Description: One of the most used and yet most misunderstood passages of the last two years is Romans 13:1-5 – BUT what about all time? Well, we think understanding the new heavens and the new earth ranks pretty high up there. Most Christians believe we are waiting for the new heavens/earth to be created after this earth is destroyed! If that’s true, is heaven going to be destroyed too? Is that how the new testament uses the word “new”? And why does Isaiah say that people die on the “new earth”? We have questions! And hopefully some answers too!

We recorded this episode over a month ago and Nate forgot to post it... so yeah... enjoy. Description: P Nate and Pootie use the monkey-pox scare as a jumping off point to talk about FEAR. Fear has gripped many throughout this pandemic, but it’s not just fear of covid. Some fear covid, others fear the government, some fear the future of our nation and others fear the state of the church... it’s one thing to be concerned, but being fearful is not an option for Christians who believe in the Sovereignty of God... we are called to have one fear that rules all others... the FEAR of God.

One of the questions we seem to get a lot these days is a speculative question asking what we think the next several years/ decades will look like in North America, and more specifically here in Canada. It is no secret that things have been rough. The last two years we have seen: Lockdowns that not only caused depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, drug overdose, pornography addiction and a host of other issues to skyrocket, but we saw the doors to churches closed so those affected could not get the help they needed; Government overreach and corruption sail to new heights; Small businesses destroyed, livelihoods taken, critical race theory infect every area of social, educational and political life, vaccine mandates take away freedom over invasive medical decisions and the list goes on... First of all how does this trajectory fit together with a theology of historical optimism? And secondly, how do we see the next few years playing out in the culture?
