Dr. David Edgington is the author of the outstanding book "The Abusive Wife." But he proposes that the term "abusive" isn't accurate. A biblical term is "reviling", which he says, “Entails using speech as a non-contact weapon against another person.” Within the Christian church, pastors have overlooked this form of abuse of men in their rush to apologize for the past, continuing a trend that began long ago, succumbing to the idea that women are eternal victims and that every knee must bow to the...

Jonathan Rios is a psychotherapist, outdoorsman, former Division 1 college athlete, and leader of men. He's also a Christian, one of the most faithful and real men I know. He holds his faith like a shield he carries in front of him, rather than a wall he hides behind. And he carries that shield into the lives and hearts of men crafting rites of passage for a generation of fatherless and under-fathered men. He puts his faith in action. It's dynamic, alive, and real, fueled by a unique life of phy...

Brandon Lansdown is a husband and father, the pastor at Coram Deo Church in Springfield MO, the host of the Absolute Unit podcast, plus a general contractor, the founder of Reformation Coffee, and especially a humble and faithful man of God. One testimony of that is how uncomfortable he'll probably be that I've said this about him, but he deserves it. Not because he's a perfect man but because he's putting in the reps, taking risks, and walking the path that many men are and would like to be, in...

Pastor Joel Webbon is the Founder and CEO of Right Response Ministries, and the author of the new book “Fight By Flight.” He's a FIGHTER, with a capital F. So, he's not everyone's cup of tea. But last I checked, it isn't teatime. In the wise words of Pastor James White, today the enemies of Christendom want two things: your bloodstream and your offspring. Maybe it's time to fight blade to blade. Scalpel to Sword of the Spirit. The Word of the State vs. the Word of God. In our conversation we dis...

Dr. Jared Longshore is the associate pastor at Christ Church in Moscow Idaho, a fellow of Theology at New St. Andrews College, and the author of “The Case for the Christian Family.” I owe him a debt of gratitude. Because his new book is the introduction to the heart of paedo-baptism that I needed. As I break from generations of Spencer family tradition, I'm asking how the story of redemptive history relates to me, to my kids, to their kids, and to households, communities, churches, and the natio...

Eric Conn is the host of The Hard Men Podcast, and the Kings Hall, and the CEO of New Christendom Press. Recently he’s become a Twitter bomb thrower, launching scorching tweets that have gone nuclear viral for their controversial takes. They reveal what gods cannot be questioned these days: The right for women to do, say, and wear whatever they want. That’s why I wanted to have Eric on, because he speaks up about the idolatry of the feminine, professing the simple truth that women sin. In our co...

Feminism succeeded in making men and women forget how to talk to each other, and instead taught us to talk past each other. This process has been evolving since World War 2, when some of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers went to work in the factories, and decided (wrongly) that they don’t need men. That’s a lie from the pits of hell. Women do need men, and the longer they pretend they don’t, the worse it’ll be for them. But men and women are being reborn in Christ, together, and learning h...

RENAISSANCE OF MEN DOCUMENTARY OVERVIEW: https://youtu.be/6RGDFEUoLpU -- My guest this week is Chase aka SovereignBrah. You might not know his name, but you'll almost certainly recognize his face.

Arthur Dayne hosts the podcast and Instagram page, Blood and Rain, and leads the Anti-Fragile Fitness online community. He's also a stage-trained actor, brooding and thoughtful writer, and an aspiring pro fighter whose physique looks like a dump truck with fists. In 2020 he felt the call to speak up on masculinity, fitness, philosophy, geopolitics, art, culture, literature, the SF-Oakland Bay Area, and, of course, fighting. He's since become a mentor and role model in his own right, leading the ...

**WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE AND POLITICAL SATIRE** Cool Hand James is one of my favorite comedy creators on YouTube. He has a bloodhound's sense for grifters, and a laser-sharp targeting system on their scams. Plus a gravelly voice, a thick British accent, deadpan delivery, and a devil-may-care attitude for calling out creatures of the online ecosystem that monetize attention through manipulation. Yes, I laughed, a lot. But James also got me thinking about how easy it is to take people seriously o...

Now he reads, thinks, writes, and works to surface the deceptions, flawed beliefs, and lies of the worlds through which he's traveled, on his way to a better, fuller life. He also bullies sciolists, talks better reading, and limns success Polytheism. And if you don't know what those things mean, you're about to find out.

Bitcoin creates spiritual transformations in the men who understand it. A brighter world begins to take shape in our imaginations. And Tomer is one of the men who’...

But had I known the truth of how these drugs were used in the societies that they originate from, I would have thought twice. Because when he says the SHOCKING way drugs and religion shape people and societies, he means it. In our conversation we di...

Gabe Finochio is a Christian educator, content creator, musician, and meme magician.

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.

Cicero wrote "On Duties" to his son, passing along fatherly wisdom to aid the boy in his education.
