    Biblicist Christianity and the Manosphere

    A search into Biblicist Christianity started when Jada sent me a link to an article titled, “A Christian Husband’s Guide to Grooming His Young Wife”. What started as a quick Facebook message turned into a four-hour rabbit hole combing through a website that made me want to gouge my eyes out. So that’s what we are talking about today on the podcast.
