    C.S. Lewis, Male Headship, & Hysterical Women Ruling

    In his book, The Silver Chair, C.S. Lewis tells an interesting story about a dilapidated school run by a woman trying to be a Head. She is a picture of what happens when women are wrongly put in places of rule, and how weaponized empathy controls an environment—and eats it alive. We'll talk about male headship, why it is necessary, and why women aren't made to rule in home, church, or society.

    Interview with Charles Haywood: NETTR, Franco, & Camp of the Saints

    In this episode, I talk with Charles Haywood about his term, No Enemies to the Right (NETTR), and the updated version, No Enemies On the Right (NEOTR). It's not uncommon today to see conservatives attacking each other, but we talk about why guarding the right flank isn't the best strategy for winning the culture war.

    We also talk about Charles' writings on Franco and a recent review he did of Camp of the Saints and why it matters to the immigration discussion today, as well as the rebuilding of the West.

    Alex Stewart of Premier Body Armor: Family, Faith, and Building Legacy through Business

    When you picture a family business, do you think of bulletproof vests and ballistic protection? That's the unique world Alex Stewart of Premier Body Armor and I explored as we unraveled the company's journey from a small metal shop to the forefront of personal armor. Our conversation took us through the transformation of protective gear, touching on the practicality of innovations like the everyday armor t-shirt bundle—a favorite of mine for its unobtrusive defense—and the clever inclusion of ballistic protection into everyday items like backpack inserts. Alex's insights reveal a commitment to safety that blends seamlessly with daily life, offering a sense of security without the bulk.

    Tucker Talks to Putin, The Woke Regimevangelicals, and 'He Gets Us' Super Bowl Ads

    I'm joined by pastor Dan Berkholder to discuss Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin, and why it's significant that Putin talked for 30 plus minutes about the history of Russia. Among other things, Tucker said Moscow is a beautiful city, unlike those in America. Why do we tolerate crime and filth in our streets? As it turns out, we might just prefer it. 

    We also discuss the 'He Gets Us' Super Bowl ads, why Christians prefer badness, and how our woke regime-aligned leaders in the church have sold us out. Christians have a ton of money, but they've spent it in the most worthless, woke places. Why?

    Plutarch's Timeless Wisdom: Alex Petkas on Courage, Leadership, and the Shaping of Great Men

    In this episode, I talk with Alex Petkas, host of the Cost of Glory podcast. He's also a former professor with a Princeton PhD in Classical Literature. His podcast is a dramatic retelling of Plutarch's Lives, which is one of the most influential books in human history. We'll discuss why Christians can benefit from Plutarch. 

    We talk about why there are so few great men today, why rhetoric is important for leadership, and how Alex once interacted with Elon Musk on Twitter/X about Sulla. Speaking of which, why did Sulla execute his political rivals?

We also explore the real-world trend of middle-aged career women staying single, analyzing societal norms and personal choices.

    The Patriarchy is Inevitable: Taylor Swift, Rush Limbaugh, & Father Rule

    As the Taylor Swift X saga continues, it's interesting to note that her father, her producers, and the support staff around Taylor are largely comprised of—wait for it—men. In this episode, we'll unpack just how God has ordered the world and how patriarchy, like Thanos claimed about himself, is inevitable. 

    Rush Limbaugh talked about girls softening their conservative fathers

    The Daily Mail covered my tweet, which now has 22.5 million impressions. 

    Newsweek also weighed in. 

    As did the Washington Examiner, which said Taylor can save America

    Smashing Celebrity Idols: Taylor Swift, a Viral X Post, and Duties of Fatherhood

    A recent tweet of Eric's went viral on Twitter/X, which at the time of this post, had reached over 10 million impressions. What gives? Taylor Swift appeared on TIME magazine as "Person of the Year," scantily clad and with a cat draped around her neck. It may be the perfect picture of today's feminine ideal, but it's also heinously destructive for women, families, and society. We discuss in this week's episode.

    In this episode we talk about a father's duty to protect his daughter's sexuality, and why this is an important inheritance given to future husbands. We also talk about Doug Wilson's book, Her Hand in Marriage, and why fathers should continue to lead their young daughters in the household.

    A Response to Kevin DeYoung and the 'Moscow Mood'

    Who gets to define the boundaries of acceptable language in Christian circles? Why does the Christian community appear to be divided by the use of strong language? Join me and my co-host, Pastor Dan Burkholder as we tackle these thought-provoking questions. In this episode, we interrogate Kevin DeYoung's critique of the so-called 'Moscow mood,' as embodied by the outspoken Christian leader Doug Wilson. Delving into the discourse, we dissect DeYoung's arguments, offering our own insights, as well as Dr. Joe Rigney's insightful response article.

    Language, it turns out, is more than just words—it's a powerful tool that reflects and shapes our reality. In our conversation, we take a hard look at the use and reception of strong language in Christian circles, especially in relation to Doug Wilson's language choices. We couldn't help but wonder: Why the inconsistency in reactions to Wilson's words and those of others in Christian leadership? It's a fascinating discussion that you won't want to miss.

    But we don't stop there. We take on the thorny issue of division within Christianity and the role language plays in it. We explore the concept of evangelical softness and question whether prioritizing being 'nice' over boldly proclaiming the Gospel is a disservice to the faith. Finally, we touch upon the importance of credibility in discussions, urging the need to separate emotions from arguments. It's a substantial, thought-provoking discussion that challenges the status quo. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to open your eyes to the dynamics of Christian communities, language use, and the pursuit of truth.
