The Road To Concord

CLASS #437: The Lawless Left-Wing Radicals in Our Headlines

The headlines continue to tell a story of lawlessness (which the Bible defines as evil). This lawlessness is everywhere, and it is not confined to a single Party. However, it does seem to be centered around one Party in particular, and their followers. Join us as we show you a series of stories that detail what we mean.

CLASS #436: "Social Christianity" and Personal Religion (Religion the Progressive Way)

We continue our series on the Founders of the American Progressive movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today's class will be covering an excerpt from Walter Rauschenbusch's book, "Christianizing the Social Order." In it, Rauschenbusch argues for a new form of 'Progressive' (i.e. socialist) Christianity. It is from Progressives such as this that the Progressive movement acquired its decidedly religious overtones. We hope you'll join us as we take another dive into the mindset of the founders of the Progressive movement by reading their own words.

Pestritto's book, "American Progressivism:"https://www.amazon.com/American-Progressivism-Ronald-J-Pestritto/dp/0739123041/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JO5B2501ORGI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Zh1BZ_1IzDNTplLTkG7NWea86KPXgLZz90FGPRPXbiDIzxaNgG4GNgKwajTBXUPx.QAXMi6SZjvRDcNc_hmrRulUCwGAq8CNgyAHuQBho6CI&dib_tag=se&keywords=american+progressivism+pestritto&qid=1723209525&sprefix=american+progressivism+pestritto%2Caps%2C344&sr=8-1

CLASS #435: A Closer Examination of Genesis — Part II (Chapters 1& 2)

This is Part II in our series:
In today's class, we will cover Genesis, Chapters 1 & 2. We will be looking at the polemics within these chapters, and how missing the theological intentions behind these polemics has probably lead to some improper translations of the Hebrew words behind our English Bibles. This should prove to be an eye-opening class for many, especially those of us who have been in church for many years. We hope you'll join us to see why.

CLASS #434: EVIL! Does it exist? What is it? Where did it come from?

I know the second attempt on Trumnp's life will be covered by everyone else on the air today. So, instead of adding to that noise, I want to talk about the underlying issue: EVIL! Does it exist? What is it? Where did it come from? I'm not talking religion here, I'm talking logic. Yes, we are going to be having a very philosophical discussion today. I hope you'll join us, as this is definitely in my wheelhouse.

CLASS #432: Progressivism and the Social Settlement (The Frontier and Early Church)

We continue our series on the Founders of the American Progressive movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today's class will be covering an excerpt from Jane Addams' book, "Twenty Years at Hull House." In it, Addams connects the Progressive movement to the Early Church and the Frontier (which was no doubt influenced by the Colonialism of the time). We hope you'll join us as we take another dive into the mindset of the founders of the Progressive movement by reading their own words.

CLASS #431: A Closer Examination of Genesis — Part I: The ANE Context of Genesis

This is Part I in our series:
We were asked to cover some of the more important subjects in the Book of Genesis in more depth than we did in our 'Brief Over-View.' Today, we will do that. In today's show, we will deal with some basic understandings that the whole Ancient Near East (ANE) would have known and understood but which we, in the modern world, have all but forgotten. In other words, today, we will try to help you regain the proper cultural context in which Genesis is set. We hope you'll join us.

CLASS #430: Our Enemies Within

We are witnessing the intentional destruction of the U.S.., and no one seems to notice. But it's not just the U.S., it's the entire Western World. The headlines are screaming their testimony to this fact every day, and no one seems to notice. Why? Today, we'll discuss a few of the ways the West is being destroyed and what -- if anything -- can be done about it. We hope you'll join us.

CLASS #429: On Property (James Madison) and The Law (Frederic Bastiat)

Last week, we read how Progressive, Charles Beard, claimed that Europeans realized that rights come from the law, not God. We also read how he invoked the words of James Madison to suggest that our Founding Fathers concurred with their European counterparts. Today, we will look at a French economist who refutes the claim about European beliefs, and Madison's essay, "On Property," to refute Beard's use of Madison. In the process, we will demonstrate why Progressives (as with all statists) must always be 'fact checked,' as they tend to tell falsehoods to advance their ideas. We hope you'll join us as we believe this will be an enlightening class for many of you out there.

CLASS #428: A Brief Overview of Genesis, Part II

It's 'Worship Wednesday;' the day we set aside to focus on the Scriptures. On today's show, we will complete our very brief over-view of the Book of Genesis. Trust us, there is much more going on in Genesis than most people realize. We hope you'll join us so we can have the chance to show you what we mean.

CLASS #427: The Progressive Reasoning Behind Their Perceived Need for 'Change'

We continue our series on the Founders of the American Progressive movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today's class will be covering Charles Beard and Jane Addams as they try to explain (and justify) the Progressive interpretations of American history as it relates to the political structures of the times. This is where we will start to see and understand that there really is no consistent or cohesive reasoning behind the Progressive ideology. We hope you'll join us as these Progressive founders illustrate our point.
