Virtus

Today I read from my own blog post 'Navigating the Chaos by Building Up Households' and reflect on our current moment in history. Are we prepared to live in a nation in decline? What is our plan for navigating the years to come?

"The Patriarchy" has been a buzz word for the last several years and it is always portrayed in a negative light. On the episode today, Jared Sparks tells us about biblical patriarchy; how it can be redeemed and how it is good for the world. We also talk about his approach to intentionally raising his own sons.

Today I talk about the importance of having a personal mission for your life and setting your personal mission in the broader scope of God's mission in the world.

Part 2 of my series 'Earthly Christianity.'

I recently finished Homer's 'The Odyssey' and it had a profound impact on me. Today I share some lesson I learned from the epic poem.

Dr. Glenn Sunshine joins me on the show to get his historical expertise on the idea of virtus, or manliness, in the days of the Roman empire. We talk about virtus throughout history, the founding of our nation, personal development, and much more.

In this episode I read an article written by Greg Morse at Desiring God about masculinity. Its very much in the same vein of what this podcast is trying to promote. Morse drives home the truth that masculinity is tough and tender, meek and fierce, and like Aslan, not safe, but good.

Thanksgiving is this week so I give a quick history of the holiday making the case that Thanksgiving is a Christian holiday. I also offer a theology of patriotism or love of country.
