Staying in the realm of recent controversy P Nate and Pootie tackle the Gary DeMar debacle and what Christians should think about: full preterism, what to do when faithful brothers say something wrong and how to respond to the internet discern-o-sphere...

Getting Controversial: Gary DeMar and Full Preterism

What is this universe that we live in? Its full of rocks and dust, hummingbirds and anteaters, black holes and microbials. But is it just stuff? What about the things we cannot see? The things that go bump in the night? 

The bible is full of information about the unseen realm of this universe and it also has a lot to say about the conflict taking place in this war torn cosmos.

This week the Rebels welcome back Air Jordan to launch a new mini series on biblical cosmology.

This introductory episode will set the ground work for a series exploring these unseen realities. If you have questions while we work our way through, please send them to us through any social media messaging or by emailing rebelpodcastflf@gmail.com

Biblical Cosmology Episode 2: Return of the old gods

When God put Adam in the Garden he gave him a pattern to follow in order to shape the world as he and his bride took dominion.

In the Lords Prayer Jesus taught us to pray that Gods Kingdom would come on earth as it is in heaven.

Heavenly, spiritual realities give meaning and purpose to this symbolic world.

Biblical Cosmology Episode 4: Aliens and witches and vampires oh my!

With all the bad-mouthing and criticism of The Sound of Freedom movie, the Rebels believe there are several important points to emphasize. What can be so wrong about fighting child sex slavery and trafficking? Why are almost all the mainline media outlets rushing to say negative things about it? 

The Rebels take a break from their Biblical Cosmology series to explore what the uproar is all about.

Biblical Cosmology Wrap Up

As Pootie comes back from vacation the rebels get sidetracked talking about work, holidays and recreation. Work isn't a result of the fall, it was instituted in Gods VERY GOOD creation. How should men think through vocation, calling, provision and even retirement?

What about contentment? How do men cultivate contentment in a job they find no fulfillment in? Join the Rebels this week as they discuss it all.

Christian Contentment: Rethinking Work, Rec and Retirement

This week we have a special episode for you as P Nate and Pootie record a LIVE episode from the Men of Valor Conference where nearly 300 men gathered at Crossroads Church to learn that Men were made to Rule and take Dominion of the World around us.

Men of Valor Live from the conference

Men of Valor Conference Debrief

The story that God is telling through the unfolding of history is no doubt a story abounding with dragons to be slain. This week P Nate and Pootie take on one of the most wicked modern dragons attacking our men, families ands churches: Pornography.

In this episode the Rebels talk about how to slay this dragon and why the best day to do this is TODAY!

Slay The Dragon

While the Rebels travel to the FLF Conference we dug up with old gem from the archive!

Long before P Nate took on the role at Ezra, before any of these guys had spent any real time together, Joe agreed to come on the podcast. Rewinding nearly 7 years to bring you this old interview that is still as relevant as ever!

From the Archive: Revisiting Dr. Joe Boot Interview

The Rebels FINALLY were allowed across the border so that they could join the Fight Laugh Feast Network family at their annual Conference. 

This year the Conference was held at THE ARK in Kentucky and P Nate and Pootie were on the ground soaking it all in.

We wanted to take some time to talk about the conference, bring our listeners up to speed and talk a little about what's in store!

FLF Conference Review

This week the Rebels answer some listener questions that have come in over the last several weeks.

Israel, Islam and other listener questions

After a hectic schedule the Rebels talk about transitions in the podcast and the impact Joe Boot's The Mission of God has had on their life and ministry.

Transition & Joe Boot's The Mission Of God

P Nate and Elder P take a look at the top news stories of 2023 and what's on the horizon for 2024.

A Year at a Glance

The Rebels pick up on a conversation had on the Ezra Podcast for Cultural Reformation about Family Integrated Worship and ministry.

P Nate and Pootie talk about this theological commitment at their own church, the scriptural foundation and spiritual fruit it has borne.

Family Integrated Worship

2 Samuel 15 tells us about a subtle rebellion: "And whenever a man came near to pay homage to him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him. Thus Absalom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel."

We live in an age when men have been told their masculinity is toxic and not welcomed in this new progressive world. The choice is either abandon your God given masculinity or follow the Absaloms of our day.

How can the church win the hearts of the men back?

How to Win the Hearts of the Men

Oddly this episode is one of our most popular and most asked for... so get ready for some cringey boasting as P Nate, Pootie and Air Jordan come back together with their 2023 book lists going through what books they read, how many and what books won the fairly arbitrary rewards we mostly made up on the spot.

The 2023 Book Reading Challenge Reveal

After P Nate and Joe Boot talked at length last week about the Alistair Begg controversy, the Rebels take some time to reflect on the animosity towards what has recently been called "The Moscow Mood" by Kevin De Young.

How should Christians engage with controversy, error and cultural issues. What's loving? What's tone policing? And what do the scriptures say?

The Allistar Begg Controversy & The Moscow Mood

After the popularity of our Biblical Cosmology series in the fall last year, Pootie finally plays catch up listening to the Haunted Cosmos and the Rebels nerd out on the unhinged.

There is an immense value in Christians understanding what the Bible has to say about the unseen realm, but pastorally P Nate wanted to issue a warning that this is an important secondary issue in scripture that can sometimes become dangerous if we make a secondary storyline THE storyline.

Rebel Podcast Haunted Cosmos: some praise and a warning

As P Nate and Pootie prepare for their trip south they take the time to quickly record a new episode talking through the headlines of the day. The Rebel podcast is meant to help equip you to engage culture with a biblical worldview, so thinking Christianly about what’s going on is a necessary first step.

Talking through the Headlines

This week P Nate and Pootie discuss a number of relevant cultural issues including Canadian censorship, P Diddy's unheard of scandal and why there is media blackout on it as well as answering a listener question about whether or not Christians should watch "The Chosen".

JT's new laws and The Chosen

This week P Nate and Elder P are joined in studio by Sye Ten Bruggencate. Even though the plan was to talk about presuppositional apologetics (that show will drop next week) the Rebels got sidetracked talking about Sye’s long journey to Crossroads, his thoughts on the “Christ is King” controversy and of course… we had to talk about the world ending (again) on April 8th.

Christ is King and the End of the World with Sye Ten Bruggencate

The rebels capitalize on having Sye in the studio once again and hit a topic near and dear to Sye’s heart: presuppositional apologetics. Sye contends that you do not have to be an expert in fossil records, on the nuances of the Quaran, or have the argument from design eloquently practiced in order to defend the faith, you just have to believe the Bible.
Join us as we pick Sye’s brain and discuss apologetics with the star of “How to Answer a Fool”

Presuppositional Apologetics Sye Ten Bruggencate

What makes literature important and why is it important for Christians to study literature? Sarah-Jane Bentley brings many years of teaching English literature to bear on the question of bringing up children, the goal of education, and the discovery of truth. She also explains the kind of worldview that could make a role model out of Lady Macbeth.
