RENAISSANCE MENTORSHIP
The world says masculinity is toxic.
Everything the world says is backwards.
That means masculinity is medicine.

February 16, 2023GABRIEL FINOCHIO | The Rights of Men and God
Gabe Finochio is a Christian educator, content creator, musician, and meme magician.
You might follow him and his creations on Instagram as Woke Jesus Christ, Silly Graham Ministries or TheosU Memes (RIP).
If you do, you'll know he's helped create a Christian meme language all his own.
But not long into this discussion I realized that behind his "serrated edge," he also has a rich perspective on theology, morality, politics, culture, sovereignty, the decline of the United States, and more.
Which is probably where memes really come from: a grasp of the issues that runs so deep, it can be expressed in a single image and just a few words.
Viewed that way, memes really are magic.
In our conversation we discussed:
The McDonalds of Evangelism
Cooking the Evangelical Books
Puffer Fish Churches
Ecumenism vs. Sectarianism
Left vs. Right, and Up vs. Down
The Rights of God Over the State
Satire as Sneak Attack.

February 10, 2023 WILL’S NOTES - Cults of Personality
“Will’s Notes” are short, shareable essays about various topics related to masculinity, femininity, politics, religion, the Renaissance, and more.
In this episode...
I explain the concept of a “Cult of Personality” as it applies to the men’s movement, plus how to identify them, and why they’re so dangerous.

February 02, 2023QUINTUS CURTIUS | The Quest for Virtue
~ My 100th Episode! ~
My guest this week is George Thomas, but you may know him better by his pen name, Quintus Curtius.
He's an attorney, MIT graduate, former marine officer, author, and the translator of the timeless work of philosophy, Cicero's "On Duties."
Cicero wrote "On Duties" to his son, passing along fatherly wisdom to aid the boy in his education.
And the gift that Quintus Curtius has given all of us, as men and women, is to reach back across more than 2000 years, just before the Christian era, to find a snapshot of a moment between father and son that I think that many of us today, are longing for.
In our conversation, George and I discussed:
His Own Background and Life Path
The Origins and Structure of "On Duties"
Philosophy and Time Travel
The Value of Anger
Men's Obligation to Pursue Virtue
Religion vs. Philosophy
An Appreciation of Fine Firearms

January 27, 2023MIKE PANTILE | The Blessing of Strength
Mike Pantile is a husband, father, personal trainer, and Instagram content creator with a flaming sword of righteous and inspiring words.
He cuts up Manosphere sacred cows like pickup, promiscuity, and "red pill" ideologies like they're nothing.
His battle isn't against other men, though, but against the bad ideas he'd internalized and that almost took him, his marriage, and his entire life down.
So to see him crusading for the power of truth to redeem both men and women is testimony that I'm excited to share.
In our conversation, Mike and I discussed:
Mike’s Journey of Transformation
Red Pill Men Misusing Their Gifts
The Art of Apology
Manosphere Caricatures and Characters
Fetishizing The So-Called Sigma Male
Mike's Redemption of the Pantile Family Name

January 19, 2023GABE RENCH aka THE WATERBOY | Anti-Fragile Christians
Gabe Rench is a husband, father of three, and serial entrepreneur.
But you may know him better as the Waterboy, co-founder of the Fight Laugh Feast Network and co-host of the popular Christian news and commentary podcast Cross Politic.
A lot of men say things like "This is the hill I'm willing to die on." But do you know which hill you're willing to build on?
Because if you ask me, it's time we start listening to the wisdom of men like Gabe, and get to work building.
In our conversation we discussed:
The Three Waves of Podcasts
Generational Wealth and Entrepreneurship
How to Structure Your Christian Business
Christians Selling Businesses to Pagans
What Charismatics Get Right
The Influence of Gnosticism on the Church... and much more

January 13, 2023ROSS HILLIER | Building the Body Temple
Ross Hillier is a strength and fitness coach, host of the Nomad Strength podcast, husband, father of two, and brother in Christ.
The tagline on his website reads, "building men into leaders through strength and fitness."
Sometimes it seems in the Christian world that these ideas make men uncomfortable.
To that I say, good. Because how can Christian men expect to take dominion over an entire nation if they can't do it over their own bodies?
In our conversation, Ross and I discussed:
His transition to parenthood
The amazing capability of children
Why men need community and brotherhood
Minimalism and achievement in fitness
The Dangers of Celebrity, as faced by the Liver King
Fitness As a Process and Journey.
