The Pulpit’s Mandate for Experiential Preaching

1 week ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

Ryan Denton recently (and correctly, in my view) critiqued modern preaching’s “90% exegesis, 10% application” model, contrasting it with the “urgent, warm, and searching” sermons of Spurgeon and the Puritans, who prioritized application.
The Church-State Debate Is a Humanistic Dead End

1 week ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

On May 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a Religious Liberty Commission, a move hailed by some as a defense of faith and decried by others as a threat to church-state separation. The commission, chaired by Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and including figures like Franklin Graham and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, aims to promote “peaceful religious pluralism” and counter threats to First Amendment rights.
Tariffs Are Unjust and Undermine Righteous Dominion

1 week ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

The Lancaster Patriot recently reported the Senate’s 49-49 deadlock, failing to overturn President Trump’s 10% baseline tariffs, a decision that risks economic disruption. As a theonomist, I view this as more than a policy misstep—it is a failure to align with biblical principles, judged by God’s revealed Word. Tariffs are forced taxation—a coercive act that must be weighed against biblical standards of justice and righteousness.

Podcast - Immigration and the American Dream

4 weeks ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

Chris Hume is joined by Adam Terrell, Josiah Huestis, Julio Delgado, and Luke Saint for a thought-provoking discussion on immigration, sparked by clips from an episode of The Sword & The Trowel. They explore the contrast between the message of the 1883 sonnet, “The New Colossus,” which welcomes the “wretched refuse” of nations to America, and the current mindset of keeping people out at all costs.
Podcast - Stephen Wolfe’s Civil Power Syllogism

Oct 25, 2024 | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

Stephen Wolfe recently released a video response to Brian Zahnd’s Christian Voter Guide. In that video, Wolfe does a fine job of critiquing many of Zahnd’s claims. In the process, he makes an argument for using civil power for “human good.” In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume plays a clip from Wolfe’s video and raises a few points of disagreement with Wolfe (though not in terms of his critiques of Zahnd). Audio available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcasts.
Podcast - Sheriff Preaches Statism

Oct 15, 2024 | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

As more and more man-made legislation spews forth from state capitals (and D.C.), Americans continue to be brainwashed in the religion of statism. Recent comments by a California sheriff highlight the degree to which Americans have accepted statism. Audio available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcasts. Chris Hume is the host of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast and the author of several books, including Seven Statist Sins. He can be reached at [email protected].
Zimmerman’s Milquetoast Milk Bill

Jun 4, 2024 | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

State Rep. Dave Zimmerman refused to stand boldly against statism and tyranny when Amos Miller, a Lancaster County farmer, was raided and sued by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. It appears Zimmerman is now posturing by sponsoring a bill that would allow us lowly peasants the freedom to buy more types of “raw milk” products – but only, of course, if the farmer submits to man-made legislation and permit requirements.
Why the Amish (and the English) Should Stand with Amos Miller

Feb 1, 2024 | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

For several years the Amos Miller story has been simmering, at times boiling. In 2022, the story received national attention when Tucker Carlson interviewed Rebel News’ Jeremey Loffredo about the federal government’s crusade against Amos Miller and food freedom. That ordeal ended in late 2022 with Miller paying over $80,000 to the government and Miller being required to destroy some of his products.
Podcast – United Methodist Church Split

Jan 17, 2024 | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

Thousands of congregations are leaving the United Methodist Church denomination over the issue of homosexuality. Despite the fact that the number of congregations affirming a biblical view of marriage are in the majority, the liberal wing of the denomination has succeeded in getting the traditional congregations to leave.
