Who Needs Whom? Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

Doug continues his series of his letters to Tyler... When you showed no signs of changing your mind for week two, the tone changed completely. After a few badgering sessions, she seduced you. A couple days later, there was some mild badgering, and then she seduced you again. And she asked you to come back to your regular church, but you went off to a different church again. Do I have it basically right?

Opportunity and Envy Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

One of the recent discussion points on the right is related to a comment made by our vice-president about the appeal of socialism. He said, and I quote: “My warning to my fellow Republicans . . . You don’t stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the free market. You stop socialism by making people’s lives better.” Now the VP is exactly right in what he says here, but some are worried about what he is not yet saying, and what that might mean. If this statement ends with a period, stop, then sign me up. But if there is an ellipsis after better, then I want to see where that might be going. My observations of the political world over the course of my lifetime has made me nervous about all ellipses.

The Rise of the Islamo-Commies Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

A decade ago, Canon published Empires of Dirt, and given our cultural moment now, the subtitle is interesting to look back on. That subtitle was “Secularism, Radical Islam, and the Mere Christendom Alternative.”

In some respects, the terrain back then was quite different than it is today, but in other ways, it is still the same old game . . . only more pronounced and amplified. It is the same old pudding, but somebody put more eggs into it, and then somebody else took an egg whisk to it.

I can see that puzzled look on your faces. Please allow me to explain.

His Blood Be Upon Us and Our Children Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

In Doug's continued dialogue with Ehud, Wilson's talk about the 'King of the Jews' ... According to the “Christ-killer” taunt that some misguided souls have leveled at the Jews, the idea is that the Jewish people are collectively and uniquely responsible for the execution of their Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. I will discuss the full range of that word uniquely a bit later in this letter.

On Bringing Things to a Marital Head Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

Doug Wilson begins a new series of letters to "Tyler," a fictional husband who is navigating some difficult issues in his marriage. Let me summarize what you are up against. You’ve been married for 35 years, with some periods where it was “okay, not great” and other times when it was pretty rocky. At the same time those times of turmoil were largely kept away from the three kids, who are now all married and gone. The kids would also testify that they had a decent Christian home to grow up in, but they would also all say that they always knew that things between you and Sally were not all that great.

As a Gentleman Walks By the Longhouse, Whistling Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

In order to discuss the point I wish to make here, we must begin with the realization that feminism is a wasting disease. But to be more precise, it is a particular variant of the wasting disease—the foundational disease being egalitarianism. The virus that makes this disease and all its variants so virulent is the sin of crackling envy, a sin that has slain its millions.

A Radical Proposal: Incrementalism at the Federal Level Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

I want to begin with a proposal for a particular pro-life amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Having done so in this introduction, I will then outline in summary form the advantages of this approach. I will then touch on a key distinction to help us understand the fact that there is more than one way to terminate a pregnancy. And in the final section, I will try to answer possible objections to this approach, or at least suggest the direction of the answer.

Yearning for a Doug-Free Zone Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

I acknowledge at the outset that this apologia for my activities might seem like I am trying to aim my answers in two different directions, but I also want to maintain that this is not my fault. This article about me was conflicted and could not make up its mind. Am I too tall or too short? Being charged with both presents me with a unique argumentative challenge, but I shall do my best. But as many of my watchers know, I am in good company.

Darryl Hart, the Wall Street Journal, and the First Person Singular Pronoun in the Objective Case Jul 28, 2026

Show notes

Darryl begins (I am going to keep this amicable by calling him Darryl) by staking out one position as articulated by one Samuel Goldman, that position being a call for a renewed civil religion. That’s on one end. On the other end of things would be that skeery-scary Christian nationalism. And Darryl wants a Presbyterian middle way to wend its path in between these two options.

King of the Jews Jul 22, 2026

Show notes

In Doug's continued dialogue with Ehud, Wilson's talk about the 'King of the Jews' ... We have considered Christ in His offices of prophet and priests, and so we come now to the third one—the office of king.
