Ezra Institute

Christianity is not meant to remain private.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, we discuss why public Christianity is increasingly viewed as dangerous, what the Ezra Institute’s Worldview Youth Academy is seeking to accomplish, and why Christ’s Lordship cannot be confined to Sunday mornings or the private sphere.

The Christian faith transforms people from the inside out—and that transformation necessarily reaches into our families, churches, vocations, communities, and culture.

Christ is Lord over all of life. The question is whether we will faithfully live as though He is.

This is the annual Fight Laugh Feast Conference: Three days of worship, fellowship, and feasting with some of the sharpest Christian minds in the country. We are asking the questions the modern church has been afraid to ask: What makes a war holy, and can we actually say so?

Why did the First Great Awakening produce men like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield who formed a generation willing to fight for independence, while the Second Great Awakening produced Mormonism, spiritualist cults, and a Civil War that tore the nation apart?

What went wrong? What did we lose?

Can you fight for a holy nation if you haven't dealt with the sin in your own camp? What does the history of Israel, and the history of Christendom, teach us about the relationship between internal holiness and external victory?

Join us in Franklin, TN on October 1-3! This year’s speakers include Dr. George Grant, Pastor Joe Rigney, Pastor Jared Longshore, Pastor Michael Foster, Dr. Ben Merkle, Dr. Joe Boot, the CrossPolitic Crew, and maybe a surprise or two still coming.

A few meaningful days this week in Santa Barbara, California with pastors and ministry leaders from across the country at the TPUSA Faith Pastors Summit.

Dr. Joe Boot joined the conference to deliver a keynote and participate in a panel discussion on “Restoring the American Family” alongside Ryan Helfenbein, Katy Faust, and Billy Hallowell.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this to encourage Christian leaders to think clearly and biblically about the challenges facing the Church and our culture - and to recover confidence that the Lordship of Christ extends far beyond the walls of the church into every area of life.

Thank you to TPUSA Faith for bringing together pastors and leaders committed to strengthening the Church and faithfully engaging our moment.

Christianity is not just good for Christians—it is good for society.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright sits down with Dr. David Haskell to discuss his new book, "Christ or Collapse: The Case Against Godless Government". They explore the evidence for Christianity’s impact on flourishing, justice, social trust, family, government, and culture—and why Christians should not be afraid to bring biblical truth into the public square.

If every law promotes a moral vision, can we really have a neutral government? And what happens when a society rejects the Christian foundations that once produced its stability and flourishing?
