In this conversation with Ben Crenshaw, we cover the topic of liberalism. Many people today consider liberalism a doomed project. While people still love freedom, we often fail to account for the importance of virtue. In order to understand liberalism, we need to discover what gave rise to the liberal project. Ben shares a historical overview of liberalism to help us better understand it. We also discuss modern egalitarianism under the liberal scheme and friends and enemies in light of biblical teaching.

In this conversation with Joel Webbon, we cover a wide range of topics. We discuss Joel’s experience pastoring an Acts 29 church and why he left the network. We also explore Joel’s theological background and look at the topic of head coverings. Joel’s book Fight by Flight offers Christians a rubric for discerning if they should leave a more progressive state so that they can better obey God’s Word. Finally, we discuss the prudence of employing the word patriarchy today.

In this conversation with Gabriel Rench, we discuss his experience getting arrested for singing Psalms. Gabe and his church decided to host a Psalm sing as a form of protest against COVID restrictions in Moscow, ID. He was arrested by local police. After a lengthy lawsuit, he was found not guilty and awarded damages. We discuss what it was like to be arrested for following God and what it has been like to do ministry in Moscow.

In this conversation with Scott Yenor, Senior Director of State Coalitions at the Claremont Institute, we discuss what happened when just last year, the mob came for Scott, attempting to cancel him, after a talk he gave on the importance of the family. We explore an article he wrote on this attempted cancellation made against him in First Things as well as the topic of patriarchy. We also dive into a report he made on wokeness on Texas A&M through top down diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

“Anatomy of a Cancellation” - https://www.firstthings.com/article/2023/01/anatomy-of-a-cancellation

“Churches have a duty to cultivate in their flocks a spirit of martyrdom, a willingness to pay the price for Christian witness. A church of “cultural engagement,” emphasizing niceness at the expense of doctrine, inculcates the innocence of doves without the wisdom of serpents. Supporting controversial witness is a necessity in an orthodox Christian church. The gospel is a sword; so is the law. While my cancellation was afoot, I received many handwritten notes of encouragement from my fellow parishioners. Other parishioners were solicitous for my family and my mental state when I encountered them at worship. Just as my fellow board members at Ambrose stood firm in our mission, so did my church. I am grateful.

Though churches should not teach their parishioners to run full-steam into machine-gun nests, the beauty of the martyrs is a story as old as Christendom. St. Ambrose’s courage to refuse Communion to Theodosius over the Massacre of Thessalonica was possible only because he feared God more than he feared man. As did St. Stephen in the face of stoning; as did Justin Martyr, beheaded for witnessing to Christ among the Romans; as did so many others. Such examples of faithfulness are crucial. Cancellation is not martyrdom, of course, but it is in the odor of it. And churches that recognize its nobility are much more likely to be rallying points for all that is central to Christian faith.”

Nancy Pearcey is a professor of apologetics at Houston Christian University and a well established author on Christian worldview matters. In her latest book, the Toxic War on Masculinity, Nancy asks how it became socially acceptable to express open hostility against men. Books are sold with titles like I Hate Men and Are Men Necessary? 

Religion is often targeted as a prime cause of toxic behavior in men. Yet, surprisingly, the findings of social science debunk that negative stereotype. Research shows that authentically committed Christian men test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic abuse of any group in America.

In this interview, we dive into her latest book exploring the topics of masculinity, feminism, headship, and competing scripts for men today.

In this episode with Conley Owens, we discuss his book on the Dorean Principle. The Dorean Principle, which is based on biblical concepts related to generosity and giving, takes aim at the commercialization of Christianity in the church today. We discuss the disruptive nature of such a principle as it pertains to conferences, seminaries, weddings, and para-church ministries. Owens even goes so far as to criticize the host’s Patreon tiers based on the Dorean Principle! Enjoy!

Conley Owens is a Pastor at Silicon Valley Reformed Baptist Church - https://svrbc.org/

Conley Owen’s bio from website - “Conley Owens is a software engineer by day, but hopes one day to do the work of a pastor full-time. He is the husband of one wife and the father of eight children. He enjoys cooperative games, couch surfing, casual skateboarding, and other peculiar activities. He has been a member of SVRBC since 2010, and a pastor since 2019.

Conley was saved at an early age when he learned that blaming others for his sins didn’t actually fix anything. Instead, he trusted in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and found true forgiveness. He discovered Reformed theology in college after accidentally getting involved with a cult and realizing he needed a better grasp on what the Bible teaches to keep such things from happening again.”

In this episode, I talk with Auron MacIntyre, host of the Auron MacIntyre Show, about Conquest’s Laws. Robert Conquest was a British-American historian and poet known for his work on the Soviet Union. A long-time research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, he developed two laws of politics (a third is considered John O’Sullivan’s first law, O’Sullivan being a British conservative political commentator and journalist):

1. Everyone is conservative about what he knows best.
2. Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.
3. The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.

Auron and I discuss why these laws matter in politics and how they prove true in a variety of ways. We also seek to understand how they work their way out in business and church. Auron and I discuss church and state and why churches should not declare themselves to be “right-wing” but instead simply be Christian.

In this episode, I talk with Pastor Michael Clary, of Christ the King Church of Cincinnati, Ohio, about his new book “God’s Good Design.” The issue of women in ministry is one of the most fiercely debated in otherwise conservative denominations and church networks. Michael and I discuss everything from praying to God as mother, to what a church looks like that is feminized, and finally his own experience as a pastor working out many of these issues. Michael’s book addresses a crucial issue for the church today and every Christian will be better equipped by it.
