Thinking Christianly about International Law w/ Dan...

The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation ·

2023/11/29

Ezra Institute Fellow Dan Ogden makes his podcast debut to discuss the difference between international law, which is based on common consent, and supranational law, a coercive and unaccountable system.

Electioneering and Demoralization

The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation ·

2023/11/22

We interact with a classic interview with Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB agent who defected from the USSR in the 1980s. He explains the strategy of cultural infiltration that has been active since the 1950s, and the work of demoralization that has been accomplished in the West. As we approach election seasons in the USA, Canada and Britain, we must be diligent to also pursue personal sanctification and not compromise on principles for the sake of temporary fixes.

Our Present Culture of Death

The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation ·

2023/11/01

On this Reformation Day, Tobias Riemenschneider joins us from Germany to discuss the West’s death-loving culture, expressed in the horror of abortion. He explains how the wide-scale support for state-sponsored abortion is upstream from so many other forms of murder, euthanasia, the harm that it causes to women, and the folly of referring to abortion as a human right. He also discusses how God’s people can act together to resist and push back through legal channels to bring the gospel of

Racism, Christianity, and Antisemitism

The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation ·

2023/10/25

Scripture has always acknowledged one single human race, and God has always dealt with His people covenantally, rather than on the basis of bloodlines. Babel was a divine act of segregation because the people were unified in wickedness and disobedience, but it is no longer normative because of Christ’s reconciling work, making the two one.

The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation ·

2023/10/18

John Cooper of the rock band Skillet returns to the podcast to discuss his forthcoming book, Wimpy, Weak and Woke.

In the wake of the recent attack on Israel by Hamas, and the Israeli response, we consider the religious roots of anti-Semitism and conflict with Israel.

Censorship and the War of the Gods

The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation ·

2023/10/04

The Canadian government’s passage of legislation such as Bills C-11, C-18, and C-36 is beginning to bear fruit, in the form of increasingly invasive censorship policies levied on content platforms. All civilizations practice censorship, making decisions for the type of material that is suitable for public viewing; the difference is in the standard of judging and how it is applied. We should not be afraid of truth, even when it offends our own sensibilities. Rather, the testing of our opinions

The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation ·

2023/08/16

In this episode, we speak with equipping evangelist Cory McKenna of The Cross Current, to review how the last three years of lockdowns and isolation have affected the work of relational ministry, the centrality of the local church, the work of discipling those who have not grown up in the church, and the spiritual hunger that people have felt in a season where we have been told to fear and avoid our neighbour.
