Christ and Capital Podcast

Alexsy Felix, host of the Chaos and Christ podcast, joins me to discuss the recent Balenciaga fiasco and whether or not there is a deeper significance to it than just child exploitation. How should Christians interpret the rise of sexual confusion and deviancy over the last decade?   Alexsy then shares about a project he is working on, a business that he’s started called Chaos Resistance Fitness - a company targeted at men and developing the discipline needed to resist the chaos around them, starting with those love handles.     Balenciaga https://nypost.com/2022/11/25/balenciaga-files-25m-suit-against-bdsm-teddy-bear-ad-producers/     2021 Obesity Rates https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/obesity-and-covid-19.html   —————————————————————-   Alexsy Felix - Chaos and Christ   Instagram https://instagram.com/alexsyfelix?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=   Podcast Website https://www.chaosandchrist.com/   Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chaos-christ/id1589835502   —————————————————————   Christ and Capital   Good Fight Outfitters www.goodfightoutfitters.com   All things Christ and Capital:  ———————-SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/Christ_and_Capital   Merch https://www.christandcapital.com/apparel       ————————————————————————————————         Music By: SUNDANCE Track Title: Persephone - Retro Funky Creation: SUNDANCE (Remix) My additions: clips from Jay Richards, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Durbin, and Gary North.  

Nathan and I are back after an extended hiatus! Hitting the road hard with our takes on Halloween, All-Refor-Thanks-Fest, and the question whether or not it is appropriate to take immediate practical application from Jesus’ parables. The parable of the dishonest manager is one that is not so easy to exposit. It’s sandwiched between the parable of the prodigal son and the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, two parables that at a deeper level are about Israel… Is there something deeper going on with this parable and is there any application for us as businessmen and productive people?       New College Franklin Newcollegefranklin.edu   Good Fight Outfitters www.goodfightoutfitters.com   All things Christ and Capital:  ———————-SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/Christ_and_Capital   Merch https://www.christandcapital.com/apparel       ————————————————————————————————         Music By: SUNDANCE Track Title: Persephone - Retro Funky Creation: SUNDANCE (Remix) My additions: clips from Jay Richards, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Durbin, and Gary North.

New guest and new co-host. Kentrell Barnes co-pilots this episode where we discuss postmillenialism and film making with Nathan Anderson, creator of the documentary ‘On Earth as It Is in Heaven’ and the docu-series ‘Teach All Nations’ (now on LOOR.tv). Kentrell is an experienced videographer/writer and helps me dig into the specifics of the craft with Nathan regarding his experience creating his breakout documentary. Hopefully this episode encourages you (especially aspiring film makers) to go get your hands dirty.   ————————————————-   On Earth Film: https://onearthfilm.net/   Also on the Canon+ app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/canon/id1538652829   Teach All Nations: https://www.loor.tv/   Kentrell on IG: https://instagram.com/itsmetrell?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=   Kentrell’s Podcast (Storytellers): https://youtube.com/channel/UC2yZzZs2ddVhwSCQYwcI7EQ   Good Fight Outfitters https://www.goodfightoutfitters.com   All things Christ and Capital:  ———————-SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/Christ_and_Capital   Merch https://www.christandcapital.com/apparel     ————————————————————————————————     Music By: SUNDANCE Track Title: Persephone - Retro Funky Creation: SUNDANCE (Remix) My additions: clips from Jay Richards, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Durbin, and Gary North.

The inflation reduction act is a clear example of political marketing if there ever was one. Nathan and I talk through the implications of what this maneuver means for a civilized society. Plus, Nathan is now a published author. He was featured in the Davenant Institute’s ‘Reforming Classical Education’.

Right at the outset I’ve likely triggered a majority of my readers just by the title of this article. I think we can attribute that partially to our cultural knee-jerk reaction to “emote first, ask questions later” and partially to the unstable political climate which we’ve created in this here land of the free-ish. Let me make a clarification, healthcare is a positive right and positive rights do not exist.   Article: https://www.christandcapital.com/christ-and-capital/healthcare-is-not-a-right   Good Fight Outfitters https://www.goodfightoutfitters.com   All things Christ and Capital:  ———————-SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/Christ_and_Capital   Merch https://www.christandcapital.com/apparel     ————————————————————————————————     Music By: SUNDANCE Track Title: Persephone - Retro Funky Creation: SUNDANCE (Remix) My additions: clips from Jay Richards, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Durbin, and Gary North.

Sri Lanka is in dire straights. Dutch farmers have grown a backbone. The world economic forum is quaking in its boots. But has the poison of communism already taken to the arteries of global society? Connor Neville joins me again but this time, picking up where we left off last time, tackling the question how do we combat global communism as it is being dictated to the nations of the world? We explore this new (to us) economic/political ideology called Distributism, or Subsidiarity. Can we have a economic system that embraces the virtues of individualism while also obligating him to higher duty? And can this sort of system that introduces obligations and duty be founded on any system other than the biblical one? Nope. ---------------------------------------------------------   Dutch Farmer Protests https://dailycaller.com/2022/07/05/dutch-farmers-fighting-esg-policies/   What is Distributism? https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2014/06/what-is-distributism.html 4 points of Distributism Faith has to be at the center Cornerstone is the family (state / indiv) Calling - not just for me (community) Calling to place - against nomadism   --------------------------------------------------------------- Ekklesia Design www.ekklesiadesign.com   Good Fight Outfitters www.goodfightoutfitters.com   All things Christ and Capital:  ———————-SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/Christ_and_Capital   Merch https://www.christandcapital.com/apparel     ———————————————————————————————— Music By: SUNDANCE Track Title: Persephone - Retro Funky Creation: SUNDANCE (Remix) My additions: clips from Jay Richards, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Durbin, and Gary North.  

Roe v. Wade has been overturned! It is a glorious day and it is time to praise God for his faithfulness. There’s more to do, but now is a time of celebration. There are common arguments that you are going to hear from the left/unbelievers in the battle ahead so let’s think through them now (miscarriages, poor kids, life of the mother, clump of cells, my body/my choice, women’s rights, wHite men & guns) with the understanding that the very first and primary reason for opposing abortion is that God says thou shalt not murder.   ————————————————————   Abortion is anti-capitalism https://www.christandcapital.com/christ-and-capital/abortion-is-anti-capitalism   ————————————————————   New College Franklin Newcollegefranklin.edu   Good Fight Outfitters www.goodfightoutfitters.com   All things Christ and Capital:  ———————-SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/Christ_and_Capital   Merch https://www.christandcapital.com/apparel     ————————————————————————————————     Music By: SUNDANCE Track Title: Persephone - Retro Funky Creation: SUNDANCE (Remix) My additions: clips from Jay Richards, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Durbin, and Gary North.

The Biden administration may forgive 10K of student loan debt per borrower. This has ramifications for both the economic landscape as well as the national moral framework.

Roe v. Wade is poised to being overturned in the near future and the screeching has begun.

Deconstruction is a term that is thrown around a lot today, but what does it mean? Lots of definitions and a lot of talking past one another. Nathan and I dive deep into the history of the deconstructing movement - Derrida, Frankfurt School, Foucault, and the relationship of language and meaning - because whether you know it or not, it is a philosophy that is a lot older than social media.     Article: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/what-does-deconstruction-even-mean     ----------------------------------------------------------------   New College Franklin Newcollegefranklin.edu   Good Fight Outfitters Www.goodfightoutfitters.com   All things Christ and Capital: ———————-SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/Christ_and_Capital     Merch https://www.christandcapital.com/apparel     ————————————————————————————————       Music By: SUNDANCE Track Title: Persephone - Retro Funky Creation: SUNDANCE (Remix) My additions: clips from Jay Richards, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Durbin, and Gary North.

Dr. George Grant joins Nathan and I to discuss the labor theory of value. Typically used as a cajole by marxists against capitalists, this theory has been the subject of much debate over the centuries.

Environmentalism, environmental alarmism, global warming, global cooling, climate change, and other sundry pseudonyms. How should a Christian think about this phenomenon from a worldview and political perspective? Christians should be the most environmentally conscious human beings, while also properly prioritizing creation, mankind, and God.   Scripture References: Genesis 9 - 22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.   Romans 8 - 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.   Romans 1 - 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!

We talk about legal troubles, high profile musician networking, and the nitty gritty of worship in the body of Christ.    Westminster Effects https://www.westminstereffects.com   Link Tree https://linkin.bio/westminstereffects   Westminster Worship https://www.westminstereffects.com/tag/westminster-worship/   Cody Fields on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/codyfields6/         Christ and Capital www.christandcapital.com   Good Fight Outfitters Www.goodfightoutfitters.com   All things Christ and Capital:  ———————-SUBSCRIBE https://linktr.ee/Christ_and_Capital   Merch https://www.christandcapital.com/apparel           ————————————————————————————————     Music By: SUNDANCE Track Title: Persephone - Retro Funky Creation: SUNDANCE (Remix) My additions: clips from Jay Richards, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jeff Durbin, and Gary North.
