State Rep. Dave Zimmerman recently released a statement about Amos Miller, the Amish farmer in Lancaster County who is being told by the state of Pennsylvania that he is not allowed to sell thousands of food items in his farm store.

In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume analyzes Zimmerman’s public statement and explains how it is nothing less than a promotion of statism.

Earlier this month, Michael Cassidy, a Mississippi man, took down a Baphomet statue (erected by The Satanic Temple) that was set up inside the Iowa Statehouse. Cassidy said, “My conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree…and so I acted.” Meanwhile, both Satanists and Republican legislators are decrying Cassidy’s actions in the name of “religious freedom.” On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Luke Saint, Matt Kenitzer, Joel Saint, and Chris Hume discuss this ongoing story.

Tom Ascol and Graham Gunden recently interviewed Timothy Decker about his forthcoming book on Romans 13. During that podcast interview, Pastor Gunden claimed that prior to 2020 the issue of disobeying tyrants was "not something that anyone ever talked about...as if this could ever happen in our lifetime." Is Gunden's statement true? And if not, what does that reveal about the ignorance of a pastor like Gunden? And how does that bode for the future? In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume addresses the fact that pastors like Gunden have been (willfully?) blind to the hundreds and hundreds of Christians who have been resisting American tyrants for many decades prior to 2020.

James White and Jared Longshore have been going back-and-forth concerning the new covenant and its members. At this point the informal "debate" consists of at least three articles from Longshore and several podcast episodes from White (linked below). In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume interacts with Longshore's position (mainly from his article published on Dec. 12, 2023) and provides an overview of the position of the new covenant wherein, in the words of John Owen, the new covenant "does effectually communicate all the grace and mercy contained in it to all and everyone with whom it is made; with whomsoever it is made, his sins are pardoned."

In 2020, when Westminster Presbyterian Church (the largest Reformed church in Lancaster County, PA) cancelled the assembly of the saints, Senior Pastor Chris Walker released a video and written statement explaining "three clear biblical commands guiding our decision not to meet for worship right now." He (and his elders) cancelled the assembly of the saints and appealed to the recommendation of the civil government as support for that decision.  On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume interacts with Walker's 2020 video and critiques the arguments Walker presented in favor of canceling church for weeks. (Walker and the church elders also required masks for the first Sunday when they finally reopened.)

Part two of our analysis of Robert Godfrey's lectures on the "end" of Christendom. Those lectures were presented at Zeltenreich Reformed Church (Lancaster County, PA) in the autumn of 2023.

Robert Godfrey said, "I would argue that there is something, maybe not everything, but something liberating about the end of Christendom. Where Christians no longer need to be in the position of being coercive and go back to what I would say is the original Christian stance – namely, that we seek to be persuasive." Those words were part of "The End of Christendom" mini-conference held at Zeltenreich Reformed Church in Lancaster County, PA. On this episode, Chris Hume analyzes Godfrey's use of the term "coercion" in his lectures.

Last month Dr. Robert Godfrey presented two lectures in Lancaster County on "The End of Christendom." The Lancaster Patriot Podcast analyzed Godfrey's first lecture.

The Amish are sometimes presented as a model "parallel economy" to emulate. They are able to provide many goods and services, sometimes without being connected to the same infrastructure as others. However, statist attacks on the Amish have increased (not decreased) in recent years. Can any parallel economy, focused on serving neighbors, exist if statism is the law of the land?
