A Response to Kevin DeYoung and the 'Moscow Mood' Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

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.

We scrutinize his views on the transformative effect of marriage, the superiority of the female sex, and the impact of the welfare state on male roles.
As we wrap up the episode, we tackle the delicate issues of feminized marriage and its impact on male sexuality, a topic that is often overlooked. Join us for this stimulating discourse, and prepare to view masculinity from a fresh, enlightening perspective.

The Toxic War on Masculinity with Nancy Pearcey Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

Send us a text!

I talk with Professor Nancy Pearcey about her book The Toxic War On Masculinity. We delve into the heart of masculinity's trials and tribulations in a secular world. We talk about the struggles men face in education, work, and life expectancy and debunk the often overlooked reality of Christian men breaking adverse stereotypes. We also discuss the power of the father-son relationship and how society can better support fathers.
Can you trace the concept of toxic masculinity back to the Industrial Revolution? We do that and more as we explore how the shift to a public environment devoid of biblical ethics has burdened men with a conflicted set of values. We also discuss how the church can be an invaluable resource to help men navigate these murky waters. Not to be missed is our exploration of the difference between being a good man in the context of a Christian ethic of manhood.
We also bring to the fore the intriguing work of marriage psychologists and sociologists. We uncover how fatherhood changes men's biochemistry and discuss Andrew Huberman's insights on baby weight in men. The Church's role in supporting fathers also takes center stage in our conversation.

Show notes

Is wealth creation a good and biblical concept? If it is, why are so many Christians bad at making money? What if the Bible held the key to financial success? Kevin Love and I delve into an engaging discourse that challenges the conventional wisdom of Christianity and money—dismantling the notion that wealth and faith are opposites.
Join us as we dissect biblical teachings on wealth, navigating the fine line between the sinfulness of loving money and the righteousness of using it for good. In our endeavor to understand the relationship between faith, money, and business, be prepared for some thought-provoking revelations.
Our conversation extends far beyond theory, diving headfirst into the practical application of these biblical principles in the business world. Through a fascinating role-play scenario of a pediatrician, we explore the mechanics of high-earning professions and how value maximization can lead to increased income. From hiring the right people to recognizing talents and skills in your organization, we help you decode the blueprint to business success. We do not shy away from the topic of risk either, offering you insights on understanding and mitigating risks associated with starting a business and prioritizing tasks for maximum productivity.
Lastly, we take you through the exciting realm of real estate and growth. We discuss the potential of investing surplus business income into real estate, using it as a hedge against inflation, and generating passive income. Recognizing your value in the marketplace and leveraging it to its fullest potential forms the crux of this enlightening episode. As we journey through the intersection of faith, money, and business, we encourage Christians to embrace the wealth creation journey, keeping their faith and biblical teachings at the helm.
