At FYRE.IS, our passion lies in unraveling and demystifying the often overcomplicated and politicized realms of theology and Christian living. Inspired by the insights of R.J. Rushdoony and other thought leaders, such as Greg Bahnsen, we strive to present Christian Reconstructionism not as a lofty, abstract theory, but as a tangible, everyday practice of living out our Christian faith.

Reconstructing Society
Christian Reconstructionism, in its essence, is about Christians actively embodying the teachings of Christ, and in doing so, reconstructing (or reforming) society to reflect God’s word. It's about moving beyond mere discussion to actively loving our neighbors as Christ commanded. This involves caring for the sick and the poor, fostering the local church community, and creating systems of Christian self-government (not to be conflated with the Libertarian ideals.) Self-governance is necessarily political, where politics is understood to be the process by which we determine who decides our laws. Either it will be God’s people or the enemies of God — as Christians, we should recognize there are no alternatives. The ruling monarch is Christ.
Demystifying Theory
In our writings and discussions, we aim to strip away the layers of complexity that have obscured the simplicity and beauty of these concepts. We believe that understanding and practicing Christian Reconstructionism should be accessible to every believer, not just the theologians those well-versed in theological discourse. Therefore, we take topics that have been shrouded in unnecessary complexity or mired in political debate, and present them in a way that is clear, relatable, and actionable. Don’t misunderstand us, we benefit from the discussions of theological geniuses. Yet, in the marketplace, the lofty debates of the ivory towers are often of little value.
On A Mission
Our mission is to guide believers in creating a life and community reflecting the righteousness mirrored in Scripture. This involves establishing systems and practices that not only honor God but also foster a sense of personal responsibility and communal care. It's about building a society where Christian values are lived out not just in words, but in actions – in the way we care for each other, govern our lives, and interact with a dying world deeply in need of the salt Christ has called us to be.
