1.16 Nino Marques | Reading | "Against Pride (Part II): A Pastoral and Theological Reflection"
<p>As June continues to press its moral framework onto our culture, believers are increasingly forced to navigate a public square that treats objective reality as a form of harm. The primary strategy used to silence the church today is no longer an intellectual argument, but a series of weaponized emotional maneuvers designed to demand absolute affirmation.</p><p>In <strong>Part 2</strong> of this special series, we conclude our reading of the pastoral and theological reflections written by Pastor Nino Marques of Knox Baptist Church in Calgary. </p><p>In this episode, we cover:</p><ul><li><strong>The Rainbow and the Wrath</strong></li><li><strong>Weaponized Emotions</strong></li><li><strong>No One Beyond Redemption</strong></li><li><strong>When Niceness Replaces Holiness</strong></li></ul><p>May it be an encouragement to you as you navigate the month of June.</p><p><strong>Take Action:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>FUEL THE REFORM:</strong> Help us reach our 2026 goal of 400+ paid subscribers to anchor this mission in Alberta.

1.15 Nino Marques | Reading | "Against Pride (Part I): A Pastoral and Theological Reflection"
<p>Every June, Alberta is covered in rainbow flags as corporations, media outlets, and municipal institutions rebrand to celebrate Pride Month. In the midst of this coordinated cultural push, individual Christians often feel isolated, stuck between a desire to speak truth and the fear of being dismissed as hostile or bigoted.</p><p>In <strong>Part 1</strong> of this special series, we feature a pastoral and theological reading written by Pastor Nino Marques of Knox Baptist Church in Calgary. Moving past superficial political commentary, Pastor Nino provides a rigorous, gospel-centered framework to help believers understand the spiritual anatomy of the modern Pride movement and remain uncompromised in a confused culture.</p><p><strong>In this episode, we unpack:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>The Anatomy of Pride:</strong> Why the name of this cultural celebration is a tragically fitting description of biblical self-exaltation and the rejection of God’s design.</p></li><li><p><strong>Biblical Sexuality:</strong> Returning to the foundational truths of Genesis to recover a robust, integrated, and beautiful view of human sexuality.</p></li><li><p><strong>Why Love is Not Affirmation:</strong> Deconstructing the modern secular definition of romance and exploring why a "love" that lies to protect comfort is actually an act of cruelty.</p></li><li><p><strong>The Solid Ground of Identity:</strong> Why internal subjective feelings are a terrible foundation for self, and how the Gospel offers received identity over false identity.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Take Action:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>FUEL THE REFORM:</strong> Help us reach our 2026 goal of 400+ paid subscribers to anchor this mission in Alberta.
