In this week’s episode of The Confederation Report, Steven R. Martins sits down with Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson—Harvard-trained biologist and author of They Had Names—to discuss his groundbreaking research on the genetic and historical roots of North America’s Indigenous peoples. From the Tower of Babel to the First Nations of Canada, Jeanson challenges prevailing narratives, integrates genetics with biblical history, and opens up new ways of understanding the deep past of the Americas.

This is The Confederation Report, a weekly analysis of Canadian news and culture from a Biblical worldview.

Excerpt: On the morning of September 10, 2025, a thirty-one-year-old American conservative Christian arrived at the University of Utah to take part in a public debate. He was a husband and father of two young children, known for living unashamed of the Gospel and letting the truth of Christ shape both his public witness and his private life. During the debate, he was assassinated.

Opening Words (00:00-00:35)

Part I: In Memoriam – Charlie Kirk (00:35–10:38)
Kirk’s death was not merely a political assassination; it was an attack on a worldview, on a witness, on a way of life grounded in Scripture and lived out with courage. It was meant as a warning, a silencing, a public spectacle to intimidate others who dare to speak.

Part II: Charlie Kirk's Memorial (10:38–14:53)
On September 21, 2025, nearly 70,000 people gathered at State Farm Stadium in Arizona to honour Charlie Kirk. Many observers noted that the memorial blended patriotic fervor, evangelical language, and deep political passion. Yet at its core—and throughout the event—Christ and His gospel were proclaimed, just as Kirk would have desired.

Did You Know? (14:53–16:24)
St. Jean de Brébeuf (1593–1649) was a French Jesuit missionary who became one of the patron saints of Canada and a towering figure of early New France.

Recommended Resource (16:24–18:08)
This week's recommended resource is The Gospel according to Marx: Stripping Political Rhetoric from the Kingship of Jesus by Joe Owen, Institute associate for biblical cosmology and director of World Outreach with Answers in Genesis.

In this conversation of The Confederation Report with Doug Wilson, we probe the theme of Christ and Government—clarifying common caricatures while outlining a distinctly Christian vision for national life under Christ’s lordship. We consider how Scripture defines a nation and distinguishes it from empire, how God’s providence orders the rise and fall of peoples, and how believers can engage law, education, and public policy with humility and courage—advocating righteousness while preserving liberty of conscience and refusing coercion.
