The Chalcedon PodcastChalcedon Podcast Ep. 55 - Christianity & Cultural DeclineModern culture is unraveling—law divorced from morality, education detached from truth, and entertainment replacing virtue with vice. As society embraces death and decadence, Christians are called to resist the collapse by rebuilding from the ground up: strong families, faithful churches, and education rooted in God’s Word and moral accountability.

The Chalcedon PodcastChalcedon Podcast Ep. 53 - Theology of the LandThe Word of God has much to say about land and property and their connection to liberty.

The Chalcedon PodcastChalcedon Podcast Ep. 52 - Revolt Against MaturityPsychology is the domain of theology because God’s Word speaks directly to man’s condition as a sinner in rebellion to God’s will.

Rousas John Rushdoony (1916-2001) was a minister best known through his extensive literary output.

In this sense, they wanted to build a society free from religion, which would only mean that it would reconstructed by the religion of man. To achieve this would require rule by a scientific state acting as God and regulating every area of life and thought.

The Chalcedon PodcastChalcedon Podcast Ep. 37 - Disposable Man or Dominion Man?The modern world witnesses a troubling drift, as many today, detached from history and divine purpose, see humans as merely “disposable.” This perspective is a far cry from the “dominion man” envisioned by the Scriptures—man made in God’s image to steward and lead creation with purpose. Tragically, this detachment from our intended role breeds societal unrest, leading us from one crisis to another. As we abandon our rightful place in history, we risk becoming its victims. In this episode, we dive deep into this paradigm. Which role will we choose: the disposable or the dominion...2023-08-2259 min
The Chalcedon PodcastChalcedon Podcast Ep. 36 - The Doctrine of Selective DepravityThe doctrine of selective depravity, favored by humanism, stipulates that certain people are inherently evil, creating conflict by targeting specific groups instead of addressing universal sin. This perspective distorts the biblical concept of salvation, replacing Christ’s role with a self-identified “righteous” segment of society. The doctrine fuels conflicts, as witnessed in the 20th century, and enables politicians to manipulate public sentiment by demonizing specific groups. Marxism effectively exploits this doctrine. Deeply ingrained in modern socio-political structures and education, the doctrine of selective depravity impedes genuine solutions, intensifying the problem with each “remedy.” This is th...2023-07-201h 01

Socialism denies economic laws; it plans to remake the world in terms of man’s welfare as seen by the planners. It is a government of men, not of laws, by men, not by law, and society is placed under man, not under God. A generation reared in humanism is bent on sacrificing law to suit the criminal, giving food to subsidize socialism; paying men not to work, appeasing criminals and Communists, and on pouring out its pity on the degenerates.

The assumption is that man’s freedom depends on and must come from the state. Now, certainly, the state can be a major enemy to man’s freedom, but it cannot be seen as the source of liberty. A “duty” is an obligation we owe to God or man, or to both. A “right” is a claim we make on the world, on men, and even on God, as in Adam’s case, who claimed with Eve the “right” to be as God (Gen. 3:5).

These two contending forces are humanism and Christianity. Humanism began its rise to power in the medieval era, and its strength was such that it captured the church, much of the academic world, and the state as well.

Liberty is limited and power is limited because the temporal order is under God.” (The One & The Many, p. 20) For fallen man, the political battle is always one of power vs liberty. Some men seek for liberty while the remaining seek for power. For example, anarchists and libertarians desire liberty while socialists, technocrats, politicians, and oligarchs seek for power.

Despite a history of eye-popping apologia for slavery, Wilson has become a key crossover figure for Reconstructionism. He leads a 1000-strong independent church in Moscow, Idaho; dialogues with more acceptable Fundamentalist leaders like R. C. Sproul and John Piper; laments the ugliness of the MAGA crowd, and does his best to project an image of free-thinking scholarship rather than angry dogmatism. Despite his genial tone, Wilson’s theology and beliefs are extreme even by the st...2021-07-271h 52The Chalcedon PodcastChalcedon Podcast Ep. 16 - The Philosophical Roots of Christian Reconstruction“Christian Reconstruction” is a school of thought that is diametrically opposed to the autonomous reason of man which itself has long infected Christianity. Today’s Christian assumes that fallen man is an impartial judge over knowledge and reality—that he is “neutral”—and that fallen man can be “reasoned” into faith. R. J. Rushdoony continued the battle against modern man’s pretended neutrality by building off the thinking of his mentor, Dr. Cornelius Van Til, who himself was developing the implications of the Dutch school that began with Abraham Kuyper. In this episode of the Chalcedon Pod...2021-07-201h 03

Quite the contrary, the whole of God’s Word is for us including the law and the prophets, one of the joys of Christian living is studying the entire...2021-06-251h 09The Chalcedon PodcastChalcedon Podcast Ep. 14 - Restoring Spiritual CapitalRushdoony often noted that the way to build Christian civilization—or save it—is to restore the spiritual capital of faith and character. This is a central part of the work of Christian Reconstruction because it’s established upon God’s Kingdom, His law, and the covenant He established through Jesus Christ. As we labor to restore that spiritual capital, it’s important that we secure ourselves during uncertain times, and to do that means putting the Kingdom of God first before all things. There is no greater security than the firstness of the Kingdom.

For the past few decades we saw it explicitly applied to education by way of homeschooling and Christian schools. What’s next for Christian Reconstruction, and how should approach answering that question? This is the topic for this in-depth episode of the Chalcedon Podcast.

The modern church needs to better understand this concept so as to truly challenge the culture as a “nation within a nation.” Hosted by Mark Rushdoony, Martin Selbrede, and Andrea Schwartz. 🎧The audio version of this podcast is also available on iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher.

It’s difficult to estimate the importance of Van Til on Rushdoony, but as their personal history shows, Rushdoony was more than a student of Van Til. He was a defender of the Dutchman, a colleague, and one of the most prolific expounders of applied presuppositionalism. You’ll enjoy this in-depth discussion as Chalcedon’s leadership shares not only the importance of Van Til’s thinking but also the personal history between Rushdoony...2021-02-091h 04Out of the QuestionWhy Should Everyone Learn How to Teach?In episode #123 of the Out of the Question Podcast, Chalcedon President, Mark Rushdoony, joins Andrea Schwartz for an enlightening look into the neglected but crucial aspects of a good education—especially a Christian education.

Jesse and DavidJesse and David ep 3 Part 2 - What is Christian ReconstructionA common theme will emerge when reading pieces critical to the movement. That is, the inability of the secular mind to process the idea of literally applying commands of Jesus to our present day lives. The default resort for most criticisms is to focus on the MANY areas of divisiveness within the movement and amplify those to their end, depending on whatever it is they're taking issue with.
This makes what our pastor at RCC, Devin Smith, had to say on Sunday extremely relevant. Not that it wasn't anyway, but in this discussion for...2020-10-0524 minThe Chalcedon PodcastChalcedon Podcast Ep. 6 - Are We In a Repeat of the Late 1960s?In 1965, during a time of rioting, revolution, and a break down of law and order, Rushdoony began the Chalcedon Foundation in order to represent a countermeasure to the prevailing ideas of that time as well as equip disillusioned Christians with a victorious gospel. His writings during this time were especially prescient, and what we are experiencing now is a close reflection of what was happening during the 1960s.
