Is Gavin Ortlund A Liberal? Yes.

from Orthodoxy · host Schmitt Media Company LLC

In this episode I respond to a video that was released by Gavin Ortlund yesterday in which he explains why he thinks that he is not a liberal. Gavin says that there are three reasons why people call him a liberal, but I argue that it’s not that Gavin has three liberal views, but rather that Gavin has an entire framework of thinking that is indistinguishable from liberalism.

Project 2025: The Ominous Specter Inception Point Ai Project 2025: The Ominous Specter Ladies and gentlemen, we find ourselves standing at the precipice of a dark and foreboding future, one in which the very foundations of our democracy are under siege. The threat we face is not an external one, but rather a cancer that has metastasized within the body politic itself. I speak, of course, of the insidious manifesto known as Project 2025 – a blueprint for authoritarian rule that masquerades as a conservative vision for the United States. As we delve into the depths of this pernicious document, crafted in the shadowy halls of the Heritage Foundation, it becomes abundantly clear that we are witnessing nothing less than a frontal assault on the principles that have long sustained our republic. Project 2025 is not merely a misguided set of policy proposals; it is a calculated attempt to dismantle the very fabric of our democratic institutions, to concentrate power in the hands of a few, and to impose a rigid ideological orthodoxy on a na Walking an Ancient Path Lynette Horner, and Ancient Faith Ministries The Walking the Ancient Path podcast explores the joys and struggles of prayer and worship, sacraments, everyday asceticism, and the cultural adjustments on the journey into Orthodoxy (whether taking first steps or traveling deeper into the Faith). Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox With his typical wit and erudition Chesterton presents Christianity as the best answer to a series of interlocking riddles that live in every human heart. - Summary by Pleonic Lisa Harper's Back Porch Theology AccessMore You're invited to hang out on Lisa Harper's back porch and enjoy conversations about all things Jesus, theological anthropology, biblical orthodoxy, Spanx, the merits of Tex-Mex and more! We believe this podcast will help you dive deeper into God's word, understand that the gospel is great news for everyday life, not just when viewed in the light of eternity, and that God is for us, that He's always been in the process of redeeming our inherent value as imago Dei and restoring us into a vibrant, intimate relationship with Him.And rest assured, this won't be a one-sided conversation because, throughout the podcast, Lisa will be inviting friends, including some brilliant theologians and academics to join her in substantive but decidedly unstuffy segments.
