Fourteen months after a five-year affair came to light, Steve Lawson has been declared "spiritually fit for ministry" by the elders of Stevens Valley Church. Justin Peters says that timeline alone tells you what you need to know.
Peters sits down with Jim Osman to walk through the elders' statement line by line. They question why Lawson was attending elders' prayer meetings, why the statement applauds his "patience" toward the wife he sinned against, and why, according to Phil Johnson, he has made no effort to reconcile with the elders of Grace Community Church. Osman argues that repentance should be as wide as the sin, pointing to 2 Corinthians 7, and that a man who goes looking for a pulpit within months of exposure is showing where his heart is.
The larger issue reaches beyond one man. Drawing on Proverbs 6, 1 Timothy 5:22 and James 3:1, the two make the case that sexual sin permanently disqualifies a man from the office of elder, because he can never again be above reproach. Forgiveness, fellowship with the Lord and quiet service in the local church all remain possible. The pulpit does not. They also take aim at evangelicalism's habit of platforming celebrities and re-platforming fallen ministers.
Justin closes by revisiting the conference controversy from July and by praying that Lawson comes to true repentance. This episode matters because rushing a disqualified man back into ministry makes a mockery of the pulpit, diminishes sin and damages the church's witness for Christ.

A conference called Christ is King, headlined by Alex Jones and filled with some of the most profane voices online. That contradiction sits at the heart of this conversation between Justin Peters and guest Paul Brown, a former Marine intelligence analyst and founder of Wasson Watch Company.
Paul once accepted the Christian nationalist label, assuming it simply meant believing the Bible is true and applying it to all of life, including government. That changed when he spoke out against antisemitism and received roughly 20,000 hostile comments, including death threats, in two weeks.
Together they define kinism, the "woke right" and Groypers, and name figures such as Joel Webin, Eric Kahn, Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. Paul explains the friend-enemy distinction, where moral positions become flexible in the pursuit of power, and traces the thinking of Russian philosopher Alexander Dugan and his idea of multipolarity.
Peters observes that he hears almost nothing about sanctification or growth in Christ from these men, only politics and power. In his words, they are trading the big guns of the gospel for spitballs of earthly power. Paul's counsel is plain: study your Bible, pray, and vet what you watch, because error spreads like gangrene, as the apostle Paul warned Timothy.
This episode matters because when Christ's name is attached to hatred, the imago Dei and the gospel itself, the power of God for salvation to the Jew first and also to the Greek, are dishonoured.

In this episode, I start off by looking at specific Mosaic Laws by considering the question of capital punishment and public executions. More specifically, I look at the situation with Maj Hasan, who is currently scheduled to be executed by firing squad. Initially, the execution was to be livestreamed, but that has since been changed. But the question remains: Should it be livestreamed? And what does it mean for an execution to be public? I consider these questions on today's episode.
