The Roots of Everything episodes:

May 05, 2026 Left and Right Ep.3: Egalitarianism
While the liberal democracies and socialism were at odds politically throughout the 20th century, they've started to merge because they share a core belief about the human being: egalitarianism—which turns out to be yet another secularization of an ancient Christian idea.

April 27, 2026 Left and Right Ep.2: The Foundations of Liberalism
To understand the left politically, we need to look at the history of how secular ideologies emerged in Enlightenment Europe and realize that we're not just talking about politics but about a view of humanity and morality—one that's deeply indebted to historic Christianity.

April 20, 2026 Left and Right Ep.1: A Brief History
Modern political ideologies are pseudo-religions that want to replace and subvert all your other religious beliefs. Left or right, they are all based on a radically new political idea that no previous religious cultures had entertained: secularism.

March 23, 2026 The Feminine Ep.4: Who is the Heroine?
The "hero's journey" is essentially male; what is the female equivalent? Today we explore archetypes in folk stories, mythology, Orthodoxy, and pop culture alike. Why are these archetypal stories about girls still resonant, and what can they tell us about feminine virtue?

March 17, 2026 The Feminine Ep.3: Hierarchy and Love
The religious conversation about "headship" and "submission" in marriage is confused by our modern narratives about oppression, power, and secular equality. But what if I told you that the fundamental element constituting hierarchy was love?

March 09, 2026 The Feminine Ep.2: Cosmic Dualism
PARENTAL ADVISORY: This episode may contain some adult themes. Masculine and feminine are constantly portrayed in the Bible and mythology as fundamental aspects of the cosmos: creator and creation, heaven and earth, Yin and Yang, husband and wife. How do these dynamics work, and what happens when they go wrong?

March 03, 2026 The Feminine Ep.1: Yin and Yang
Before we can begin to have the conversation about the role of women in culture or religion, we need to go back to the basics on sex and gender, because a female is not merely a biological reality; the feminine is one of the cosmic, enchanted elements of being itself.

February 10, 2026 Rise of Pop Culture Ep.4: Tolkien and Fantasy
Everyone knows that Tolkien started the fantasy literature genre, but it wasn't the fantastical that made it special; it was his moral, imaginative framework, especially in contrast with later disenchanted fantasy stories like Harry Potter.

February 02, 2026 Rise of Pop Culture Ep.3: Star Wars and Media
In the transition from newspaper to radio to film and TV, the Western world transitioned to picture-thinking, the most powerful force in shaping our imaginative framework. Movies become profoundly influential, and Star Wars becomes a cultural phenomenon.

January 27, 2026 Rise of Pop Culture Ep.2: Science Fiction
The early fathers of science had grand visions for the domination of the earth and the future utopia, but it isn't until the 20th century's pop culture that their ideas become firmly implanted in the imaginative framework of Westerners.
