    157. Peter Lillback: Debunking the Myth of a Deist George Washington

    Since the 1930s, revisionist "historians" have portrayed George Washington as a deist at worst and a "lukewarm Episcopalian" at best. In this conversation, Dr. Peter Lillback (President Emeritus of Westminster Seminary) examines the historical evidence, challenges that narrative, and argues that America's first president was an orthodox, Trinitarian Christian. Dr. Lillback's landmark work, George Washington's Sacred Fire, has now been released in a newly abridged edition, Sacred Fire: George Washington's Faith (P&R Publishing), containing a mountain of original sources and silver bullets that the zeitgeist has long loved turning its blind eyes to.

    Everyone loves sola Scriptura - until it comes to head coverings. As we celebrate Luther’s call to go ad fontes, maybe it’s time we stop editing the Bible with our feelings and the good old get of jail "it's cultural" card. Join us as we talk with Dale Partridge, author of A Cover for Glory: A Biblical Defense for Headcoverings, about why head coverings aren’t optional, it's not your hair, and it's not “just cultural.”

    As we celebrate Reformation month, Luke Kjolhaug joins us to unpack Luther’s life-giving insight that we are simul justus et peccator — both saint and sinner. We discuss how this truth frees us from despair and lets us rest in the finished work of Christ.

    150. What Now? America (One Million Charlie Kirks)

    Today, the day after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, Pastor Michael Foster sent out a short article on his Substack and posted it on X. It read like a manifesto, but rooted in reformation and not revolution. I sent it to no less than 40 people. I asked Michael if I could read it on this episode of TheLaymensLounge.com and He has given me permission to do just that. The article is called “What Now?” Please listen and share. Follow Michael Foster on X @thisisfoster https://www.thisisfoster.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email https://x.com/thisisfoster/status/1966171803249946760 Jon Harris has written and shared on his Twitter the song “America (One Million Charlie Kirks)" - you can listen to it here: https://x.com/jonharris1989/status/1966246387080978830
