Welcome to Rebuild. Here we explore the pillars that hold up the foundation of Christianity and western civilization. We examine where and how these pillars are crumbling, and we suggest ways that we can rebuild them.
We release two episodes per week. The first is an interview with a guest who answers questions about a particular pillar of society. The second episode is a reaction to the interview where Michael and Bradley tease out implications and offer commentary.

Christian: Love your home and your nation
This episode examines C.S. Lewis' argument in "Men Without Chests" where Lewis argues that men who do properly love things cannot appreciate them or know their proper use and function. From there it examines how Christians, because of the gospel, must love their nation and their homes.

The Great Commission call Christians to conquer and rebuild Culture
This episode starts with a tweet from Scott Aniol about what the gospel should do to culture. We disagree with the tweet and explain that God actually calls Christians to build culture because of the great commission. Last, we conclude that God wants us to bring all areas, including sexuality, under submission to Christ.

ep. 113 - A Christian view of history: Tell the truth and live free (with Jon Harris)
SUMMARY:
In this episode we talk with Jon Harris about how Christians should view and study history. We explore how conservatives should defend against the left without compromising the truths of history. We also talk about the idea that our assumptions about the future dictate what we will find in the past. Jon clarifies some false assumptions on our part and offers hope to people who have been told that they must feel guilt over sins of past generations.
GUEST INFORMATION:
Jon is a committed Christian and enjoys outdoor sports and music. He repented of his sins and put his trust in the grace of Jesus Christ for full and immediate forgiveness as a child. When he’s not hiking or playing guitar, Jon writes about political and theological issues confronting the church. He has an MDiv from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and an M.A. in History from Liberty University. He was interested in political theory from a young age but sensed a stronger desire for ministry. During his college years Jon worked in campus ministry and also served as a minister of music at his church.

QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ASKS:
In his lectures on American history, Steve Wilkins says that secular scholars cannot study history accurately because when they come across figures and events that display the glory and truthfulness of God, they suppress that truth. David and Tim Barton call God’s hand in history “the golden thread” in their book “The American Story, The Beginnings”. Could you talk about 1 or 2 “golden thread” moments that stand out to you?
How can we tell the truth about history without giving up ground to the left and progressive Christians?
What role does history play in the command to honor our father and mother?
What is something practical that Christians can do in order to understand and teach history in a more ‘Christian’ way?
Should Christians feel guilt for past sins committed by previous generations?
