The point of this podcast is pretty broad — “All of Christ for all of life.” In order to make that happen, we need “theology that bites back.” I want to advance what you might call a Chestertonian Calvinism, and to bring that attitude to bear on education, sex and culture, theology, politics, book reviews, postmodernism, expository studies, along with other random tidbits that come into my head. My perspective is usually not hard to discern. In theology I am an evangelical, postmill, Calvinist, Reformed, and Presbyterian, pretty much in that order. In politics, I am slightly to the right of Jeb Stuart. In my cultural sympathies, if we were comparing the blight of postmodernism to a vast but shallow goo pond, I would observe that I have spent many years on these stilts and have barely gotten any of it on me.

Christians, Gerrymandering, and the Legitimate Uses of Political Power May 12, 2026

Show notes

I don’t want to seem ungrateful because I really have benefited much from the contributions of what might be called “Banner of Truth” postmillennialism. However, the emphasis with this strand of theology is almost entirely focused on the gigantic ticker tape parade of evangelism, mission work, intense revivals, and more. Scarcely a thought is given to how we might clean up after the parade, who would be responsible for that task, and what our laws would look like after the revival.

Slicker Than a Pocket Full of Pudding May 06, 2026

Show notes

Candace began her public career as an ambitious leftist climber. She then had a “conversion” to conservatism as signaled by her Blexit move… After Charlie’s death, what should have been a unifying moment for conservatives if ever there was one, she began an unrelenting attack on Turning Point, Erika, and assorted others, and now appears to be making her move. She wants the right and left to “come together” in a spirit of unity… What is actually happening in all this is that she is returning to her factory settings, which in my view are clearly on the left.
And Nick Fuentes?… Fuentes was doing the same thing as Epps on J6, whooping and hollering to incite the masses, and yet the Feds decided to overlook all that. You know, boys will be boys. Especially when it is one of our boys

In Honor of Ben Sasse May 05, 2026

Show notes

Ben Sasse is dying in public, and knows that he has very limited time remaining on this earth. He sees it coming, and is looking straight at it. And so we can see his faith, his courage, and his wisdom. It is on display for us, and it is obviously the real thing. Christ is there.

Hate Farm Subsidies from the SPLC Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

We are of course talking about the indictments that were just handed down by the Department of Justice. Now of course all the usual cautions apply—an indictment is not a conviction, etc. But because of the open and obvious grift that has been on display at the SPLC for years and years, and because of the situations that involved us here in Moscow directly, these indictments are not alleging anything that would be out of character at all. All of this really does fit into the “it figures” category.

The Goyim, the Gayim, and These Our Demented Times Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

So it appears that Israel will be throwing a huge sodomy bash at the Dead Sea, near the site of the lately-departed Sodom and Gomorrah, thus setting forth a grim exemplar of insolence history month. And it was not just a privately organized thing either—the government of Israel is behind it, promoting and pushing the event.

On Repealing the 19th Amendment: The Interview Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

I have noticed that I have been asked more questions about the 19th Amendment over the last year or so than I had ever been asked in all of my life prior. There is of course some sort of strategy behind all the questions, which is usually aimed at discrediting our larger project, and so some friends have therefore wondered about what reasons I might have for even answering the questions. I subsequently hit upon the device of addressing all the questions in one go, through the construct of an imaginary interview. That way I can just refer people here.

About that Contretemps on Piers Morgan Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

So on Monday I was slated to appear on a panel with Piers Morgan and, having done so, I encountered what passes for enlightened discourse these days—you know, in the twilight of our Republic.

Piers was the host, and did an okay job trying to be the host, and I shared the panel with Tim Miller of The Bulwark and Wajahat Ali, who has a Substack newsletter, The Left Hook. When I say we “shared” the panel, that way of putting it is kind of misleading.

Not the Trope, and Not the Houseplant Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

Dear Ehud...

Thanks for the email, and for the follow-up phone conversation. I think I have a good grasp of your questions now, and of your dilemma, and hope that I can be of some help. I am thankful that your friend Dawson recommended that you contact me—Dawson’s a great one.

Secularism as Protestant Heresy Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

Secularism is not a workable common sense solution for getting along in a pluralistic society. Secularism is simply apostasy and godlessness. And the fact that there are numerous Protestant theologians and ministers who are privately orthodox, and who would never themselves burn incense to the Queen of heaven on their own rooftops, but who nevertheless publicly argue for a “neutral” public square illustrates—as few other things could illustrate—that the heresy of secularism has made deep inroads among us. Nothing else can account for such confusion.

So . . . Pete Hegseth and the Iran War Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

So the war in Iran has been going on for a little over a month now, and enough of it has unfolded that I am now being asked on the regular what I think of the big picture....There is an additional factor in all of this in bello discussion. Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, worships as part of our church service in Washington D.C. How does that factor into all of this?...On the one hand, some critics want us to intervene and “make Pete stop it.” But then, think for a minute. Do these same critics really want me or any of my fellow pastors—with no background on the intel, with no military training at this level, with no security clearance, and with no basis for sticking our noses into the internal workings of the Pentagon—to be giving Pete any specific policy advice?
