Do not adjust your radio, or do

A little update on my goings-on. I am a guest on this week’s Gary DeMar radio show. The topic of the show has to do with Christian culture and the “two kingdoms amillennialism” that is so popular with the (California (Escondido)) kids these days. Anyone who is interested can check it out.
Hear me deliver a stout “first time radio” performance. About as cliched as one would expect. In my head, I think thoughts like this: “Hmm, I wonder where exactly we’re going after that question. I wonder if I have time to give a more detailed answer, or if I should stick with a general one. Am I talking too fast? Wow, did I just say that Life Goes On was the high point of Christian popular culture?” In my mouth, words tumble around and fall out into the world. In my ears, I hear Gary DeMar say “Let’s move on…”
No, seriously, I didn't say any such thing.
But seriously, I think it went pretty well. I got to talk about Augustine’s City of God a bit, which is possibly the most misread book by Reformed people who claim to be following its author. Augustine explains to the pagans why Christianity is about to steal their lunch money, and modern Reformed folks claim it is about Christians being careful not to get too involved (insert obligatory “as Christians” here) in such worldly affairs as politics and culture. Boggles me mind, it does. Gary was a gracious host, as well. We may even do it again, which means (or does it?) that I must have done okay.
The show airs on about thirty stations, mostly at noon on Saturday, which means that my voice will be coating much of the southeastern United States (and beyond!) at one time. Pretty scary stuff, but the show also airs on the Sirius “Christian Talk” station at that time, which means that somewhere at 12:25 today a goth truck driver is going to accidentally wonder across culturally aggressive Christian talk with my voice delivering some of the blows. To whatever family of four is riding beside him when he begins cranking his air horn in a maniacal fit of emo rage, I apologize in advance. For those who prefer to get their crazy the old fashioned way–humbug on your infernal satellite machines!–the good folks at the American Vision website will make it available sometime on Monday.
*Update (Tuesday, 8/26/08): It is definitely up now. The August 23 show.
