    Ep 240 - You Can't Legislate Out Evil: HSLDA's Ralph Rodrigues on NJ's Homeschool Bills and What Parents Must Do [Carpe Fide]

    New Jersey legislators are using the tragic murder of nine-year-old Maya Thomas โ€” a case of parental abuse, not a homeschool case โ€” to push for "health and wellness checks" inside every homeschool family's home, and HSLDA attorney Ralph Rodriguez joins to explain why this bill is unprecedented, vague by design, and constitutionally indefensible. Ralph and the guys dig into all three pending bills (notice, portfolio requirements, and the wellness check), what Pierce v. Society of Sisters says about parental rights, why Connecticut should be the cautionary tale every NJ homeschool family is studying right now, and how education choice appears nowhere in the research on risk factors for child abuse โ€” while an unrelated adult in the home appears in almost all of it. If you're a homeschool family in New Jersey, or just someone who thinks parents should be the ones deciding what goes on inside their home, this episode is your briefing and your call to action.

    [SERMON] Grace Filled People (Ephesians) [Carpe Fide]

    Rather than missing ANOTHER week, we're delivering a sermon from our church's Ephesians series. We'll be back next week. Working on something pretty interesting for you guys. ALSO. If you haven't visited our site recently, we've got our ENTIRE inventory up and discounted for you. So hit the link below and enjoy the savings! Justin takes one verse โ€” Ephesians 4:11 โ€” and traces the five grace-filled roles God gave his church: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. He explains why apostles and prophets were time-sensitive foundational roles tied to the direct revelation and establishment of the church (and why you should think carefully before using those titles today), what the Greek word for "prophecy" actually means beyond predicting the future, and why the role of pastor has been quietly destroyed by a culture that turned a shepherd into a CEO and a calling into a career. The central image of the whole sermon: grace flowing from the twelve apostles into the world isn't like a bucket of water dumped on sand โ€” spreading out until it disappears. It's a deluge. It only grows. And the reason the list in verse 11 ends with teachers โ€” without saying "some as teachers" โ€” is because teachers aren't for some. They're for everyone.

    Ep 239 - In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity: Dr. Dan Samms on Christian Federalism [Carpe Fide]

    Dr. Dan Samms holds a doctorate from Liberty University on the very topic his critics would rather bury, and he turned it into Christian Federalism: The Founding Vision and the Road Ahead, a 259-page field manual for Christians ready to stop spectating. Justin and Jesse dig into the surprising origin of the term "Christian nationalism," the founding documents that settle the debate, and the three competing Christian approaches to law: natural law, positive law (theonomic general equity), and the soft Christian-influence model that has, in Dan's words, gotten people killed. Then Dan gets practical: how to run candidates from your church for city council and school board, why local elections swing on fifty to two hundred votes, what Gideon's destruction of Baal's altar authorizes, and why federalism begins in the home with a man who leads. The Kindle pre-order is live on Amazon now (releases October 14). Print version soft-launching for Carpe Fide listeners any day. LINKS  If you didn't get the hint, BUY DAN'S BOOK.

    Ep 14 - Takeaway [Bluey and the Bible]

    Bandit just needs five minutes โ€” the spring rolls aren't ready, there's one table, two daughters, and a whole lot of waiting. In "Takeaway," Justin and Jesse find what happens when a dad's best-laid plans collide with the beautiful chaos of small children in dead time, and why a fortune cookie read from the floor of a Chinese restaurant might be the most quietly theological moment in the whole series. They dig into Jesus calling the children to him (Matthew 19:14), GK Chesterton's stunning passage from Orthodoxy about God's "eternal appetite of infancy," and what it means that we've sinned and grown old while our Father is younger than we. If you've ever stood in a waiting room with little kids and just tried to survive five minutes, this one's for you.

    Ep 238 - Just Do It Right: BD Fleming on Christian Liberty and the Theology of Cigar Smoking [Carpe Fide]

    BD Fleming wrote a book about cigars, and it ends up being about so many good things: Christian liberty, masculine fellowship, fear of man, and whether the weaker brother should be idolized or discipled into health. Justin and Jesse bring their own receipts: a movie Bible study that got Jesse hauled into the senior pastor's office, and a youth group incident involving alcohol that got them temporarily removed from ministry. BD walks through Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 8โ€“10, and Psalm 16:11 as they discuss the two ditches of legalism and antinomianism, why Spurgeon and CS Lewis and Tolkien and Chesterton all smoked and didn't hide it, and what it actually means to bring all of life under the Lordship of Christ. If you've ever driven two towns over to the liquor store so nobody would recognize you, this episode is both your conviction and your permission slip.

    Ep 237 - All Dogs Go to Heaven, but Feminism Can Go to Hell: Lindsay Clancy Trial [Carpe Fide]

    Lindsey Clancy murdered her three children โ€” Cora, Dawson, and Colin โ€” on January 24, 2023. She is not disputing this. Her husband Patrick was not home. She orchestrated sending him out specifically so she would be alone with the children. The GoFundMe for her defense raised over a million dollars before it was shut down. Women in pink are organizing outside the courthouse. The jury is hung. Justin and Jesse walk through the full timeline of that day, compare it to how male defendants have been treated when pleading insanity (Dahmer, Gacy, Albert Fish โ€” all denied), connect the cultural response directly to abortion law and what we've told women for fifty years, and ask the only question that matters: where is the cry for justice for three children whose voices were taken from them? If you've been avoiding this case because it's too dark and too heavy, this episode is not entertainment โ€” it's the conversation the church needs to be having right now.

    Ep 236 - You're the Oppressor: Critical Theory's War on Parents, Children, and Reality [Carpe Fide]

    The CEO of PragerU flagged it and Justin and Jesse ran it down: "adultism" is the newest critical theory movement, and it is currently being trained into educators at universities by a consulting firm that cannot run its own company according to its own principles. The idea is straightforward โ€” adults oppress children by doing things like setting rules, making curriculum choices, and sometimes hugging them without asking first. Justin and Jesse trace the whole framework from Movement Consulting's anti-capitalist university trainings through a real April 2026 session at a San Francisco high school that explicitly labeled teachers as oppressors and students as the oppressed โ€” and then explain where the "bodily autonomy for children" argument terminates, because that endpoint is not subtle. They also cover Karl Marx's actual family history (it is not good), the John Adams HBO scene about a drunk son that has more to say about parenting than any critical theory article, and why the church needs to be louder about this specifically. If you've ever had someone tell you that talking down to your child is oppression, this episode is the response.

    Ep 13 - SpyGame [Bluey and the Bible]

    Justin and Jesse take on an episode that neither of them ranks as a favorite โ€” and still pull out a full table's worth of truth. When Bluey's spy-potion game collapses under her own bossiness, the fallout becomes a picture of why God designed us for community from the very first pages of Scripture. Along the way: a rock-stacking metaphor that doesn't quite stick, a cup in the ocean, and Bluey learning to put Bingo first.   What we unpack this episode: - The meltdown โ€” assigned roles nobody wants, and how "taking your ball and going home" wrecks the game. - Bossiness bites back โ€” Bluey refuses to use Bingo's pretend name (Sparkle Shocks), then kicks her out entirely. - Bandit's pack metaphor โ€” "We all have a place in the pack," even when the stack-of-rocks illustration doesn't land. - The turn โ€” Bluey realizes the game is simply better with her sister in it, and finally apologizes. - Putting others first โ€” Bluey steps back so Bingo can take the moment, a picture of Christ-shaped humility.   Scripture in this episode: - Genesis 2:18 โ€” "It is not good that man should be alone"; community is built into creation. - Ephesians 3:17-19 โ€” rooted in love and filled with God's fullness, known together "with all the saints." - Hebrews 10:24-25 โ€” a staple verse at our church: don't forsake gathering; spur one another on. - Philippians 2:1-4 โ€” count others more important than yourself; the opposite of selfish ambition.   Books & resources: - Path of Progress โ€” a gamified chore-and-discipleship app for families (30-day free trial at pathofprogress.ca).
