The Rebel Podcast

The Ezra Institute brings you a new series with the Rebels when P Nate and Pootie are joined by a variety of guests talking about several key practical outworkings of theological concepts that will help Christians expand the Kingdom of God, see the dark pushed back and slowly (like leaven working through the loaf) win the world.   This episode P Nate is joined by pastor/ autho

It's been a busy spring, but the Rebels are back with fantastic news of a new series.  Check out who their special guests will be!

The rebels capitalize on having Sye in the studio once again and hit a topic near and dear to Sye’s heart: presuppositional apologetics. Sye contends that you do not have to be an expert in fossil records, on the nuances of the Quaran, or have the argument from design eloquently practiced in order to defend the faith, you just have to believe the Bible. Join us as we pick Sye

This week P Nate and Elder P are joined in studio by Sye Ten Bruggencate. Even though the plan was to talk about presuppositional apologetics (that show will drop next week) the Rebels got sidetracked talking about Sye’s long journey to Crossroads, his thoughts on the “Christ is King” controversy and of course… we had to talk about the world ending (again)

As P Nate and Pootie prepare for their trip south they take the time to quickly record a new episode talking through the headlines of the day. The Rebel podcast is meant to help equip you to engage culture with a biblical worldview, so thinking Christianly about what’s going on is a necessary first step.

After the popularity of our Biblical Cosmology series in the fall last year, Pootie finally plays catch up listening to the Haunted Cosmos and the Rebels nerd out on the unhinged. There is an immense value in Christians understanding what the Bible has to say about the unseen realm, but pastorally P Nate wanted to issue a warning that this is an important secondary issue in scriptu

Everybody's heard about Alistair Begg's advice to a grandmother about attending her grandkid's trans gay wedding.  Many have responded, and some people say that some of the responses have been harsh.  The Rebels weigh in on this issue today - not so much the Begg advice issue itself, rather the criticism of harshness.  What would Jesus say?!

It's finally here!  The big reveal; who won the Great 2023 Book Reading Challenge?  The benchmark was 100 books.  You'll need to listen to hear the results, but I can tell you it wasn't me, tech guy Dave.  I thought it was 100 pages!  But seriously, everybody needs to be reading good books.  You say you are not a book reader?  Well, fair or not, t

Welcome to the Rebel Podcast for Cultural Engagement.  Today Pastors Nate & Chris talk about why women make up the substantial majority of church attenders.  There could be several reasons, but the one big reason is what they are talking about today.
