How to Win the World (Part 13): Learn to Love God’s Law Word ft. Dr. Joe Boot

Author: The Rebels - Nate Wright & Chris Poots December 5, 2024 Duration: 1:02:48
The Law Word of God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Ps. 119:105), and Isaiah makes it abundantly clear that the Messianic reign of King Jesus will spread that Law throughout all the earth (Is 2:2-4, 9:2-7, 42:1-9, 52:6-53). On this last episode of our series on How to Win the World, P Nate and Elder P are joined by friend of the show, Founder & President of the Ezra Institute, Rev. Dr. Joseph Boot, to discuss theonomy and a properly biblical view of the law and gospel distinction, and the centrality of God’s Law in the transformation of the world.

Nate Wright and Chris Poots, known as The Rebels, host a conversation that sits at the intersection of deep faith and daily life. Their Rebel-Podcast for Cultural Engagement is built on a reformed theological foundation, but it’s far from an academic lecture. Instead, think of it as a toolkit for thoughtful Christians who feel the tension between their beliefs and the surrounding world. Each episode unpacks how a biblical worldview directly applies to the music, movies, politics, and social conversations we all navigate. You’ll hear discussions that are both substantive and accessible, challenging listeners to move beyond simple answers. This podcast operates as part of the broader Rebel Alliance Media, a collective of creators and voices dedicated to the same mission. By tuning in, you join a dialogue focused on practical engagement, equipping you to understand and interact with culture from a place of conviction rather than retreat. It’s for anyone weary of shallow takes and hungry for a perspective that takes both scripture and society seriously. The result is a consistently thoughtful exploration of what it means to live out faith with integrity in a complex age.
