Dr. Dan Samms holds a doctorate from Liberty University on the very topic his critics would rather bury, and he turned it into Christian Federalism: The Founding Vision and the Road Ahead, a 259-page field manual for Christians ready to stop spectating. Justin and Jesse dig into the surprising origin of the term "Christian nationalism," the founding documents that settle the debate, and the three competing Christian approaches to law: natural law, positive law (theonomic general equity), and the soft Christian-influence model that has, in Dan's words, gotten people killed. Then Dan gets practical: how to run candidates from your church for city council and school board, why local elections swing on fifty to two hundred votes, what Gideon's destruction of Baal's altar authorizes, and why federalism begins in the home with a man who leads. The Kindle pre-order is live on Amazon now (releases October 14). Print version soft-launching for Carpe Fide listeners any day.

BD Fleming wrote a book about cigars, and it ends up being about so many good things: Christian liberty, masculine fellowship, fear of man, and whether the weaker brother should be idolized or discipled into health. Justin and Jesse bring their own receipts: a movie Bible study that got Jesse hauled into the senior pastor's office, and a youth group incident involving alcohol that got them temporarily removed from ministry. BD walks through Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 8–10, and Psalm 16:11 as they discuss the two ditches of legalism and antinomianism, why Spurgeon and CS Lewis and Tolkien and Chesterton all smoked and didn't hide it, and what it actually means to bring all of life under the Lordship of Christ. If you've ever driven two towns over to the liquor store so nobody would recognize you, this episode is both your conviction and your permission slip.

Lindsey Clancy murdered her three children — Cora, Dawson, and Colin — on January 24, 2023. She is not disputing this. Her husband Patrick was not home. She orchestrated sending him out specifically so she would be alone with the children. The GoFundMe for her defense raised over a million dollars before it was shut down. Women in pink are organizing outside the courthouse. The jury is hung. Justin and Jesse walk through the full timeline of that day, compare it to how male defendants have been treated when pleading insanity (Dahmer, Gacy, Albert Fish — all denied), connect the cultural response directly to abortion law and what we've told women for fifty years, and ask the only question that matters: where is the cry for justice for three children whose voices were taken from them? If you've been avoiding this case because it's too dark and too heavy, this episode is not entertainment — it's the conversation the church needs to be having right now.
