It turns out, Christian Nationalism is not a fad but G3 certainly was.

For the first time ever, I will share publicly what Josh Buice and G3 did behind the scenes to me personally.

This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast walks through Malachi chapter 4 as God’s final Old Testament word, framing Malachi as a covenant “courtroom” where God charges Israel with doubting His love, dishonoring Him in worship, covenant treachery in marriage, withholding tithes, and arrogant speech. The hosts connect Malachi’s promised “day” of refining fire—judgment on the wicked and vindication for those who fear God’s name—to Jesus’ ministry and the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, including the temple’s destruction “not one stone upon another,” and note how Christians fled when the Roman armies withdrew. They discuss Jesus as the true Israel and present Reformed “fulfillment theology,” concluding with a warning for the modern church to endure God’s refining and a request for listener donations.

In part two of a discussion with Jordan “J.D.” Hall, the hosts continue addressing accusations of ecumenical compromise around the upcoming NXR “Christ is King” conference, asking where common ground ends and theological compromise begins. They debate how the word “Christian” should be used, arguing it can describe those who affirm core creedal claims about Jesus without asserting certainty about individual regeneration, citing Acts 11:26 and examples from Calvin, Luther, and Spurgeon. They contend critics equate “Christian” with personal conversion due to imprecise evangelical language, and they criticize reformed pietism for valuing small influence as proof of purity while a “counter-reformation” draws evangelicals toward Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The episode explains a strategy: NXR targets broad culture and politics under Christ’s kingship while Right Response provides deeper theological resources.

On the Right Response Ministries podcast, Joel Webbon talks with Jordan Hall about the vision for the NXR conference “Christ is King: America After Trump” and the public criticism that it is “too ecumenical.” Hall argues critics misuse the term ecumenism, contrasting ecclesiastical councils and doctrinal statements like the Antioch Declaration with NXR’s aim of discussing cultural issues without making church decisions. They compare NXR’s speaker standards with TPUSA and TPUSA Faith, noting examples like Doug Wilson’s remarks at a TPUSA event and TPUSA Faith hosting atheist James Lindsay, while NXR requires speakers to affirm core creedal claims about Jesus. They also discuss selective outrage, online incentives to attack Webbon, objections to naming Christ, and NXR’s refusal to platform women to instruct men.

Right Response Ministries opens with Judges 21:25 and argues that Western civilization—built on Greek philosophical inquiry, Roman law and statecraft, and centrally Christianity as the coherent foundation and telos—is now dead, having been supplanted by a “new religion.” The hosts trace early challenges through nominalism (William of Ockham) and the Enlightenment’s elevation of autonomous human reason, citing the French Revolution’s “worship service to human reason” at Notre Dame and later liberal theology’s rationalizing of Christian claims. They contend post–World War II statism and the sexual revolution further replaced Christian presuppositions, with egalitarianism as liberalism’s driving engine. Joel Webbon describes combating “personal liberalism” through a schooling decision, criticizing coeducation as practical egalitarianism. They call Christians to honest assessment without despair, framing the task as rebuilding after destruction (Ezra and Nehemiah), not merely defending, and encouraging institutional rebuilding with Christian hope.

Right Response Ministries continues its discussion of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), distinguishing it from the PCUSA while arguing the PCA is on the same liberalizing trajectory, driven by egalitarianism, and is in “dire straits.” After two “scorched earth” episodes, this installment shifts from critique to pastoral counsel: Christians must be committed to a local visible church and cannot simply opt out. The hosts present three options for those with Presbyterian convictions but limited local choices: leave for a better church if one exists within a reasonable distance, leave and start a church if biblically qualified and called, or, for some, stay—even in a compromised congregation—based on prudence, context, and counsel from mature believers. They stress nuance, self-assessment, and seeking wisdom, then conclude with support and donation appeals.

The episode responds to criticism that NXR Studios’ upcoming “Christ Is King: America After Trump” 2026 conference promotes forbidden ecumenicalism, arguing the charge misunderstands categorical distinctions between Covenant Bible Church (word, sacrament, regulative worship), Right Response Ministries (a Christian 501(c)(3) ministry focused on public theology), and NXR Studios (a for-profit Christian political/cultural organization). The host explains NXR exists because Right Response became increasingly political in 2024–2025 and needed to remain theologically focused while a separate entity handled overtly political work. For the NXR conference, speaker standards are limited to being male and a professing Christian who affirms core claims about Christ consistent with the Apostles’ Creed; this is presented as permissible co-belligerency rather than church-level unity, and as a narrower coalition than major conservative conferences that platform non-Christians.

In part two of a series on the civil magistrate’s duty under God to promote true religion, the speakers move from theological principles to practical tactics for the U.S. in 2026. They argue that while separation of church and state may be permissible, separating Christ from the state is not, and they outline realistic approaches short of amending the Constitution, such as using party “soft power” to influence who appears on Republican ballots. They propose narrowing legal definitions and eligibility for 501(c)(3) and church status to remove tax and property-tax exemptions from progressive churches, forcing financially weak congregations to sell properties. They contend evangelism alone will not eliminate liberal churches and advocate both conversion and civil coercion, encouraging young men to engage procedural local politics, PACs, and party platforms while remaining “innocent as doves” and “shrewd as serpents,” including using 501(c)(3) advantages.

In part one of a two-part podcast on church and state, the hosts argue from 2 Kings 23:5–9 and Reformed political thought that the civil magistrate has a duty to promote true religion and suppress public blasphemy and idolatry, while remaining limited to outward matters and not usurping preaching, sacraments, or church keys. Using categories of principle versus prudential application (genus/species), they cite Reformed Christian Politics and figures and confessions including Turretin, Calvin, the pre-1778 Westminster Confession, the Belgic Confession, and Steven Wolfe to show this duty is historically Reformed. They distinguish separation of church and state from separation of Christ and state, reject ecclesiocracy while affirming God above the state, and preview applying these ideas to America, noting radical measures as theoretically permissible but presently impractical.

The episode continues a two-part critique of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) position paper, pastoral letter, and “affirmations and denials” on Christian nationalism, arguing the denomination is compromising Scripture on sexuality, civic life, and male leadership. The hosts cite a Religious Landscape Study survey claiming PCA members’ support for same-sex marriage rose from 40% in 2014 to 53% “strongly favor” in 2023–2024, and connect this to the PCA’s rejection of Christian nationalism. They analyze PCA statements on race, ethnicity, “political legitimacy,” kinism, and the ordo amoris, claiming the document misuses passages like Galatians 3 and Romans 2 and effectively condemns biblical and historical notions of lineage, nationhood, and Paul’s love for his “kinsmen according to the flesh” in Romans 9. They argue the PCA rejects nature in a Gnostic way and urge listeners to leave the denomination before the next General Assembly makes the document binding.

The episode continues a two-part critique of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) position paper, pastoral letter, and “affirmations and denials” on Christian nationalism, arguing the denomination is compromising Scripture on sexuality, civic life, and male leadership. The hosts cite a Religious Landscape Study survey claiming PCA members’ support for same-sex marriage rose from 40% in 2014 to 53% “strongly favor” in 2023–2024, and connect this to the PCA’s rejection of Christian nationalism.

The episode opens with Romans 9:1–5 and argues that Satan undermines the church through persecution, doctrinal compromise, and subtle tactics like disqualification and new “heresies.” The hosts recount Presbyterian denominational history leading to the PCA’s formation in 1973 and contrast it with the PCUSA’s decline after affirming women’s ordination and homosexual unions. They then discuss the PCA’s ad interim report on Christian nationalism, reading its pastoral letter and selected “affirmations and denials” on civic engagement, speech, antisemitism/race realism/kinism, ordered loves, ethnicity, and men and women. The hosts condemn the document as intentionally ambiguous, a straw man used to target figures like Joel Webbon, criticize its stance on women in civic leadership as contrary to Calvin and Knox, warn it could be used in ordination processes, urge leaving compromised denominations, and promote sponsors, donations, and an upcoming part two.

This episode of The Right Response Ministry podcast examines Matthew 19:23–30 in its immediate context of the rich young ruler, explaining that Jesus’ warning is not a blanket condemnation of wealth but an exposure of the unique temptations attached to earthly abundance. The hosts discuss how riches can foster self-sufficiency and idolatry—either trusting wealth for security or treasuring it for joy—while noting that the same heart-sin can attach to health, reputation, power, or religious privilege. They contrast biblical warnings against the love and desire for money with passages that speak positively of wealth as God’s providential blessing, rejecting both prosperity-gospel guarantees and a “poverty gospel” that demonizes riches. Finally, they emphasize both the cost and the reward of discipleship, including God’s provision in this life, spiritual blessings, fellowship, and ultimately eternal life, with persecutions.

This episode of the Right Response Ministries Podcast opens with Ezekiel 34:1–7 and applies its warning to modern church leadership, focusing on the Rio Grande Presbytery (PCA) indefinitely suspending teaching elder Zachary Garris. The hosts discuss two charges: an accusation tied to his liking a tweet about slavery (dismissed) and a charge of “corrupt speech” based solely on two X replies to Dr. Anthony Bradley, which they argue were benign. They contend the presbytery is using the disciplinary process as punishment, especially in light of Garris’s writings (Masculine Christianity, Honor Thy Fathers, and Dabney on Fire) promoting patriarchal, anti-feminist themes and defending Christian forefathers. They argue such actions reveal broader denominational corruption, compare current church leaders unfavorably to Reformers’ rhetoric, and conclude by urging pastors and church planters to avoid joining denominations in the present climate.

In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts discuss Matthew 19:10–12 to argue that celibacy is a rare, sovereign gift from God and that lifelong singleness is a vocation only for those given that gift. They contrast “gift of celibacy” with “vocation of singleness,” insisting marriage is honorable and not spiritually inferior, rejecting the idea that celibacy is a higher tier of Christianity. They claim most men lack celibacy because lust and sexual desire reveal the absence of the gift, critique mandatory clerical celibacy (including Catholicism), and use Martin Luther as an example of misapplied celibacy ideals. Addressing a modern singleness epidemic, they urge most men to pursue marriage sooner rather than later, while offering a caveat that some men may need to delay marriage for elite institutional roles and must exercise extreme sexual self-control.

This Right Response Ministries podcast episode reads 2 Samuel 18:9–15 and uses Absalom’s rebellion and death as an example of Old Testament typology, contrasting Absalom as an anti-type with Jesus as the obedient Son of David who is “hung on a tree” and pierced, not for His own sins but for His people. The hosts argue typology is a powerful apologetic for Christianity against Islam and Judaism, since it is grounded in real historical events rather than allegory, and it highlights the internal consistency and “majesty” of Scripture. They also discuss broader patterns such as Jesus as the true and better Israel, reenacting Israel’s story in His life and succeeding where Israel failed, and they clarify that the church is Israel by union with Christ, comprising both Jew and Gentile who believe in Jesus.

Gold Built The West | Leviticus 19:35-36

36 min
View

This episode opens with Leviticus 19:35–36 on honest weights and measures and applies the biblical idea of justice to money, commerce, and economic life. The hosts connect classical Christian thought (including Thomas Aquinas) to the moral question of debased currency, arguing that fiat money’s ongoing devaluation creates unequal exchange over time. Guest Bill Armor discusses why gold has historically functioned as “sound money,” pointing to its scarcity, density, durability, and biblical significance, and contrasts gold’s finiteness with governments’ ability to expand money supply and debt. The conversation traces how stable high-purity gold coinage supported trade and trust across Christendom, notes historical cycles of currency debasement (including Rome), and discusses declining global confidence in the U.S. dollar alongside increased national gold buying. The episode closes by encouraging listeners to gain knowledge and consider portfolio diversification and qualified retirement rollovers into physical precious metals.

Using 1 Timothy 4:11–16 and the elder qualifications of 1 Timothy 3, this episode explains pastoral calling and ordination by outlining the key requirements for ministry. Pastor Joel argues that the first qualification is calling—an inward desire to be an elder—followed by character and competency, especially being “apt to teach” so others profit from Scripture. He distinguishes true calling from a culturally assumed desire for ministry and stresses that inward desire must be tested by an outward call: a meaningful body of spiritually mature believers who actually want a man to pastor them. The conversation also notes that not all qualified men should become elders, that hierarchy and “first among equals” matter, and that compatibility with a church’s specific context affects who should fill the pulpit.

They discuss traducianism—the view that a child’s soul is generated through parents rather than created ex nihilo at conception—using Freud vs. Jung to frame individualism versus shared, inherited realities, and drawing on examples from Tolkien, “blood,” and spiritual “longings.” They contrast creationism of the soul with traducianism and a generational “third way,” citing Tertullian, Gregory of Nyssa, and Jerome, and argue traducianism better accounts for original sin, federal headship, and Christ’s sinlessness, while defending God from being seen as creating a sinful soul. They address objections about the soul’s immateriality with a fire/flame analogy, connect the discussion to race realism as “families of the earth,” and claim the view aligns with young-earth creationism and adaptation “according to kinds,” with implications for civic policy and Christian stewardship across generations.

On this episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast, the hosts discuss AI’s rapid advance and the likelihood that it will automate a massive share of both knowledge work and manual labor, arguing this isn’t comparable to past innovations like the cotton gin because AI can be embodied in robots that outperform humans in productivity, speed, and safety. They contend this shift will collapse familiar political and economic binaries (capitalism vs. socialism, small vs. big government) as large portions of willing workers become unemployable, forcing societies toward some form of redistribution and state-managed labor to preserve human purpose and dignity. They argue governments, with their coercive taxing power, will become the primary consumers and regulators in an AI arms-race world, and they call for Christians to think theologically about work, pursue wisdom, and place righteous men in government to restrain tech elites and guide policy—framing it as “Christian nationalism or bust.”

Christianity Is OBJECTIVE | Romans 10:9-10

41 min
View

This episode uses Romans 10:9–10 and 1 John 1:7–9 to address why many Christians struggle with assurance of salvation, arguing that Christianity is objective and not grounded in fluctuating feelings. The hosts contrast Protestant introspection and “navel-gazing” with Rome’s overly mechanical objectivity, noting pitfalls on both sides, and discuss how modern psychologizing has separated emotions from obedient action. They emphasize that God gives objective helps—confession of sin, confession of faith (agreeing with God’s word), the church’s covenant renewal worship, and the Lord’s Supper as a real means of grace—to bolster faith without reducing salvation to ritual. Faith remains necessary, but believers can rest in God’s faithful and just promise to forgive and cleanse those who confess, and take confidence in wanting Christ and continuing in obedience.

In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts discuss what Scripture teaches about alcohol, emphasizing that the Bible condemns drunkenness while also presenting wine as a blessing tied to celebration and reward. They survey biblical warnings—especially for leaders and specific offices (kings, priests, elders, and older women)—and contrast these with passages that permit and even commend wine in certain contexts. They connect this to modern trends showing Americans and Europeans drinking less, suggesting cultural shifts such as reduced reasons to celebrate, sedentary work, health concerns, and diminished profitability. The conversation critiques both legalism that labels all drinking as sin and a consumerist “bourbon-and-cigars” identity, arguing for spiritual maturity: recognizing what is permissible while applying prudence, moderation, and honest self-assessment about duty, productivity, ambition, and the purpose behind drinking.

In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts discuss what Scripture teaches about alcohol, emphasizing that the Bible condemns drunkenness while also presenting wine as a blessing tied to celebration and reward. They survey biblical warnings—especially for leaders and specific offices (kings, priests, elders, and older women)—and contrast these with passages that permit and even commend wine in certain contexts. They connect this to modern trends showing Americans and Europeans drinking less, suggesting cultural shifts such as reduced reasons to celebrate, sedentary work, health concerns, and diminished profitability. The conversation critiques both legalism that labels all drinking as sin and a consumerist “bourbon-and-cigars” identity, arguing for spiritual maturity: recognizing what is permissible while applying prudence, moderation, and honest self-assessment about duty, productivity, ambition, and the purpose behind drinking.

Piety, Not Pietism | 1 Timothy 5:1-4

38 min
View

In this episode Wesley Todd, Pastor Joel, and Antonio discuss the difference between biblical piety and evangelical pietism, beginning with 1 Timothy 5:1–4 and Calvin’s definition of piety as reverence joined with love for God. The hosts trace pietism’s rise after the Thirty Years’ War and how it shifted over time into an increasingly private, introspective religion that can elevate inner feelings and spiritual concerns over concrete duties, church, sacraments, and vocation. They critique examples where “spiritual” reasoning is used to neglect responsibilities, such as protecting one’s family or honoring parents, and argue that virtues must be bounded by duty and by the obligations of one’s office (father, magistrate, pastor, citizen). They also warn against treating certain callings (missionary, monk-like “super Christian” paths) as universally superior, while urging Christians to pursue sanctification and bring piety into every vocation rather than abandoning it for ambition

What Is Just War Theory? | Exodus 22:2-3

36 min
View

In this episode of the Right Response podcast, the hosts discuss the Christian tradition of just war theory, tracing its development from Augustine to Aquinas and explaining why it matters for distinguishing justified killing from murder. They outline core criteria for going to war (jus ad bellum)—legitimate authority, just cause, right intention, last resort, proportionality, probability of success, and discrimination between combatants and non-combatants—and for conduct within war (jus in bello), including proportionality and humane treatment of prisoners. Applying these principles to modern conflicts, they highlight difficulties posed by preemptive war, imperial and economic motives, and technologies like drones. They also address Christian pacifism, arguing for a distinction between personal ethics and public duties of the civil magistrate, and conclude with Isaiah 2’s vision of a future where nations “learn war no more.”

This episode argues against the common evangelical claim that “all sin is equal,” using Luke 12:47–48 to emphasize that greater knowledge of God’s will brings greater culpability and stricter judgment. The hosts discuss temporal judgments in Scripture (including Sodom and Gomorrah) and contend that eternal punishment also varies in severity based on both the nature of sins committed and the degree of revelation and grace received, citing Jesus’ woes to Tyre and Sidon and the principle “to whom much is given, much is required.” They distinguish between sin equally separating the unrepentant from God and differing degrees of punishment in hell, and they compare this to differing degrees of reward in heaven. They also connect these ideas to natural revelation, civil and biblical law, the heightened judgment of teachers and deceivers, and the continuing moral relevance of God’s law for Christian sanctification.

During Holy Week, Wesley Todd, joined by Pastor Joel Webbon and Antonio Griffith, reads 1 Corinthians 15:1–7 and argues that Christianity hinges on Jesus’ bodily resurrection as the seal of His saving work and the basis of Christian hope. They outline early evidence for the resurrection, including Paul’s use of an earlier creed within two decades of the crucifixion, the independent Gospel accounts with specific and “embarrassing” details, and the public setting of Jerusalem with claims of appearances to many, including over 500. They also cite non-biblical, often hostile sources—Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny, a Talmud passage, Clement of Rome, and early anti-Christian mockery—to show the crucifixion and resurrection claims were widely circulated early. They address objections like hallucination, bereavement experiences, and body-theft theories, concluding history can strongly support the case but cannot produce absolute certainty without faith, since unbelief is ultimately moral and spiritual rather than merely intellectual.

Lean Into Hope - Hebrews 11:1-3

51 min
View

This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast discusses Christian hope in bleak times, contrasting postmillennial confidence in Christ’s victory with both “black pill” cynicism and naïve “hopium.” The hosts describe economic and geopolitical pressures—AI-driven job loss, inflation, war, and political disillusionment—and argue that real hope is grounded in faith, sober realism, and God’s promises rather than elections or short-term outcomes. Drawing from Hebrews 11, 1 Corinthians 15, Psalm 1, and Peter’s renewed hope after the resurrection, they emphasize enduring “winter” by focusing on what can be controlled: faithful church life, marriage, raising children, rejecting cynicism, building tangible work, and thinking generationally. Their key strategy is that the righteous often prevail by outlasting the wicked and being ready when God brings providential opportunities for change.

The episode opens with Matthew 22:23–30 to argue that marriage belongs to the temporal “common kingdom,” not the eternal kingdom, and uses this framework to address viral online praise of a Christian man marrying a converted but formerly promiscuous woman. The hosts distinguish between micro-level pastoral counsel—where such marriages are permissible for repentant Christians—and macro-level messaging. They contend Scripture treats sexual purity, especially female virginity, as a major societal concern (citing Leviticus and Deuteronomy), emphasize temporal consequences despite forgiveness, warn about digital permanence affecting children, criticize indiscreet public testimonies, and reject claims that the church is a “whore,” distinguishing Israel from Christ’s chaste bride.

The episode opens with Luke 16:1–13 and uses Jesus’ commendation of the shrewd steward to frame a discussion of biblical prudence—being wise as serpents while innocent as doves—without endorsing sin. Wesley Todd, Pastor Joel Webbon, and Antonio Griffith trace how marriage and divorce shifted from English common law (including coverture and limited divorce) to modern no-fault divorce, arguing that today’s family courts often incentivize unjust outcomes, especially for men, through custody, alimony, and asset division. They contend Christians face “gaps” where the state abandons righteous standards, requiring practical wisdom. Against this backdrop, they explore whether prenuptial agreements can be morally permissible if structured around biblically valid grounds for divorce (adultery and abandonment), potentially deterring frivolous divorce, discouraging predatory motives, and protecting multigenerational inheritance.

This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast discusses the “doctrine of inequality” and critiques modern egalitarianism as a recent Enlightenment development tied to humanism, individualism, and progressive politics. Using 1 Corinthians 12, the hosts argue Scripture teaches unity with real distinctions—diverse members in one body—where some parts are more “comely” yet all are necessary, and where the Christian ethic dignifies inferiors without flattening hierarchy. They trace egalitarian thought from philosophers like Rousseau and social contract theory to modern equity claims, arguing “equal opportunity” is a myth given innate differences in ability and that attempts to erase hierarchy require deconstructing nature and institutions like the family. They also apply the theme personally, urging sober self-assessment of one’s talents and station to avoid pride, discontentment, and midlife crises.

This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast discusses 1 Timothy 6:17–19 and argues that being rich is not inherently sinful, but Christians must avoid trusting in riches and instead be rich in good works, generosity, and contentment. The hosts contrast apathy with hustle culture, presenting money as a tool for providing for family, supporting the church, helping the poor, and building durable, transferable wealth rather than a consumer lifestyle fueled by debt and status-seeking. They warn that marketing and social media drive covetousness and impulsive spending, and define the love of money as treating money as an end in itself. They also frame money and power as tools to be pursued righteously for God’s glory, while urging self-examination in how money comes in and goes out and balancing work with family responsibilities.

This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast begins with Galatians 5:15 and addresses the recurring Protestant tendency toward splintering, both doctrinally and over public cultural issues. The hosts discuss how division plays out between traditions (while noting a small number of major Protestant traditions), how social controversies like COVID, BLM, and social justice intensified infighting, and why online discourse magnifies conflict by centering a small set of disagreements. They compare this to Catholic divisions, arguing Catholics often remain institutionally together despite sharp political differences. The conversation emphasizes theological triage, humility, private reconciliation when conflict becomes sinful, and recognizing other Christians as real people in local church life. They also note that friendships and influences naturally change over time and encourage men not to be discouraged but to build faithful local relationships.

The episode opens with Hebrews 12:18–24 and explains Sunday worship as covenant renewal: by faith, believers are invited to ascend God’s holy mountain and gather with the heavenly Jerusalem, angels, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant. The hosts define biblical covenant as a sovereign, divinely administered bond with blessings and curses, tracing the covenant of life/works with Adam, its failure and deserved death, and God’s protoevangelium promise culminating in the covenant of grace fulfilled in Christ’s obedience and blood. They distinguish earthly covenants from God’s covenants and describe the Lord’s Day rhythm as an ongoing covenantal way of life. The discussion outlines a fivefold covenant renewal liturgy: call to worship, confession of sin with assurance, consecration through Scripture and preaching with confession of faith, communion at the Lord’s Table, and commissioning with benediction, emphasizing communion with the triune God as the end of the gospel.

This Right Response Ministries podcast examines why many American Christians, especially evangelicals, misunderstand eschatology due to poor hermeneutics. Using Matthew 16:24–28, the hosts argue that Jesus describes two related but distinct comings: a future, final physical return and universal judgment (v.27) and a near-term “coming” fulfilled in AD 70 through a spiritual, local judgment on Jerusalem (v.28), which they present as a partial preterist reading that avoids claims Jesus was mistaken. They stress that all Scripture is for believers but not all Scripture is directly to them, and advocate a historical, linguistic, cultural, literal, and typological approach. They also discuss Luke 18:7–8 as likely referring to the first-century context, clarify partial versus full preterism, and connect AD 70 to the closing of the old covenant while affirming a future bodily resurrection and final judgment.
