Cultural Christianity takes a lot of criticism in the fashionable circles of Evangelicalism. Far from a negative, though, it is far preferable to the alternatives.

We'll get into all the reasons and ramifications on this episode of Backwoods Belief.

On this journey to The Backwoods we're talking about why evangelicals (among other groups) are self-loathing and if anything can be done about it.

Our launching point is this American Reformer piece by Stiven Peter titled Against the Loser Mentality: Victory Comes by First Overcoming Evangelical Leadership.

Why does Big Eva have such an affinity for same sex attraction? The answer, perhaps surprisingly, goes back to the difference between the Reformed approach to sin and Rome's.

We're talking to Dr. Jared Moore about his forthcoming book, The Lust of the Flesh. Dr. Moore's work really devastates institutional evangelicalism, prompting a lot of unneeded anger but little of the needed repentance. What you'll find in Lust of the Flesh (and this episode) is a whole lot of the Bible-saturated, morally unafraid, unfashionable truth that is in such short supply today.

The George Gilder controversy coming out of Moscow continues to rage. Is this a matter of overreaction - as the brothers in Moscow are saying - or is there a good reason to think Gilder isn't the right thinker to recover?

Let's take a look at Gilder's own writings to see if a clear answer emerges.

How do you transition from one generation of leaders to the next? Specifically, what are the pitfalls and, conversely, what are the best practices?

We're taking a look at Al Mohler, John MacArthur, and Doug Wilsons as paradigms to learn from when the time comes to give the next generation the reigns.

We welcomed AD Robles out to The Backwoods to talk about the importance of taking a cheerful approach to our cultural nonsense. We also get into how to avoid blackpills, what to do if you end up taking one, and whether or not real anger can be part of the program.
