The Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast is designed to bring the Lordship of Christ to our everyday lives. In each episode we'll discuss current events from a biblical worldview perspective with the goal of displaying the beauty, wisdom and blessing of a life lived in joyful obedience to Jesus. The goal is to equip you to better engage our culture with the good news of the gospel for all of life.
In this episode, we unpack the post-election insanity sweeping across the political landscape and break down the key Indiana election results. We celebrate a historic milestone as a member of Living Stones Church becomes a State Senator, discuss the impact of the much-talked-about "blue wave," and examine the significance of the election of a Muslim senator. Join us for thoughtful analysis, local insight, and a biblical perspective on faith, leadership, and the changing political climate.

E320 Capital Punishment: Justice in the Public Square
The Pentagon has announced plans to livestream the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who murdered 13 people and wounded dozens more in the 2009 Fort Hood terrorist attack. Military officials say the public broadcast is intended to demonstrate the serious consequences of such crimes. Scripture affirms the government's God-given responsibility to punish evil and uphold justice (Genesis 9:6; Romans 13:4). Capital punishment is a legitimate exercise of lawful authority when carried out justly and with due process. The more difficult question is whether executions should be public. While many support Hasan's execution as a just consequence for an act of terrorism, livestreaming it risks turning justice into spectacle. Punishment should uphold moral order, not satisfy society's depraved appetite for obscene entertainment.
