Sovereign Nationssovereignnations.com
Welcome to The Causes of Things, a podcast from Sovereign Nations. The 1st century BC poet Virgil stated, “Blessed is he who understands the hidden causes of things.” This statement is as brilliant today as it was 2,000 years ago. Primarily narrated by Michael O'Fallon, The Causes of Things is didactic in nature featuring a collection of teaching series & lectures, some of which are recorded specifically for this podcast, and some that are from public lectures. The show will offer discussion and information concerning a variety of complex ideas: The philosophical presuppositions behind the ideas that are aggressively shaping our world, the answers to those challenging ideas, and the necessary historical, hierarchical structure of the world as represented through the lens of Judeo Christian belief.

White Privilege: The New Original Sin | Dr. Thomas Ascol

The concept of “white privilege” has embedded itself within nearly every stratum of our culture in the United States, championed by progressives and those that are seeking to deconstruct our current narratives and historical hierarchies. As the church has become the purposed focus of those seeking to balkanize the church, it should not be a surprise that this pernicious concept has been used as a divisive tool to divide the church. Listen as Dr. Thomas Ascol of Founders Ministries examines the o...

Virtue Signaling: The New Evangelistic Strategy | Phil Johnson

Virtue signaling is the practice of trying to put one's own moral superiority on display by saying or doing something that has no real practical benefit other than to announce agreement with the most stylish opinion of whatever happens to be trending at the moment. Listen as Phil Johnson of Grace to You examines this aberrant micro-reflexive practice amongst the new ‘woke’ evangelicals. This presentation was given on January 16, 2019 at the Sovereign Nations 'Social Justice & The Gospel' Con...

Introduction to the Social Justice & The Gospel Conference | Michael O'Fallon

Postmodern thought has now made inroads into what until very recently, were conservative, Biblical Christian circles, all with the smiling face of “social justice.” The rapidity with which these deadly ideas have spread from the culture at large into churches and Christian organizations is truly shocking - all with an ever-present progressive political undertone that has become noticeable as the movement has gained steam. While the French postmodernists, Derrida and Foucault, will not be immedia...

Evangelical Seminaries: Deconstruction Zones | The Causes Of Things Ep. 7

What has happened at our nation's traditional Evangelical Christian seminaries and colleges? Over the past several years, pastors and professors graduating from seminaries in the United States seem to be more familiar with French postmodernists, liberal radicals, and open society progressives. These wayward philosophies manifest themselves in concepts such as critical race theory, white privilege, systemic racism and other forms of postmodern deconstructionism. What exactly is going on and how c...

The Coming Christian Attack on Jordan Peterson | The Causes Of Things Ep. 6

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson burst onto the scene and became an internet sensation in 2017, dishing out common sense replies to the excesses of out-of-control, wacky postmodernism and the liberal progressive empires dispensing draconian challenges to free speech and cognitive liberty that these movements promote.

Christianity In A Postmodern Crisis | The Causes Of Things Ep. 5

https://sovereignnations.com/2018/07/30/christianity-in-a-postmodern-crisis/ The protestant evangelical church has been a massive conservative force over the past 50 years. With nearly 40 million members, evangelicals are normally politically active, voting for their morals as well as for the preservation of our republic. But something has happened over the past 7 years or so that has radically changed the priorities and mission of the largest evangelical seminaries and churches in the United St...

A Brief History Of The Open Society | The Causes Of Things Ep. 4

If you listen closely to the speeches and discussions of world leaders and global policymakers in today’s news and social media, you will hear a term repeated by folks such as Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Rex Tillerson and the venerable shadowy puppet master George Soros. The term might have slipped by you as it sounds rather friendly and innocuous: “Open Society’ When this term is normally used, you will hear it used by progressive politicians while bemoaning o...

George Soros And Reflexivity | The Causes Of Things Ep. 3

The key term to understand any developments in politics, religion, financial markets, or social sciences today is the loaded power word, reflexivity. In simple terms, reflexivity can be simply understood as a “self-fulfilling prophecy” or as an outcome that can be determined or assured due to overwhelming propaganda. In other words, if you are one of the elite masters of the universe and since all truth claims are subjectively suspect to fallibility; you can make up your own truth claim up and c...

What Is A Fertile Fallacy? | The Causes Of Things Ep. 2

On today's episode of The Causes of Things, we will explore the purposed leveraging phenomenon known as the fertile fallacy. Throughout the socio-political universe, there has been a phenomenon as of late that allows the architects of change to perform a manipulative influence to either achieve a desired result or create a pseudo-necessity for change in society. Plainly stated, when a change in opinion or sociological shift is desired, a big lie is told in order to disrupt something as large as ...
