    David French & Russell Moore: Superman Isn't Just a Movie, He's a Mirror of America Jul 24, 2025
    Show notes

    Is Superman Woke—or Just Wonderfully Human?

    Can a superhero cut through the world's chaos better than a political debate or another sermon? New York Times columnist David French and Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore explore why Superman still strikes a cultural nerve—especially in the age of outrage and "wokeness" debates. From his immigrant origins to the often-overlooked theme of adoption, they unpack how James Gunn's 2025 reboot revives timeless questions about identity, belonging, moral courage, and kindness. This conversation is more than capes and kryptonite—it's a surprising, thoughtful, and even fun look at the stories shaping who we are.

    What Role Does Jordan Peterson Play in Shaping Young Men's Views on Masculinity?

    Host Curtis Chang teams up with "founding friend" and New York Times columnist David French to unpack David's recent conversation with Jordan Peterson—and the crisis facing young men today. From mental health struggles to educational decline, David and Curtis take a hard look at what's shaping young male identity in modern America, including the outsized influence of figures like Peterson. They explore how political polarization, digital culture, and a loss of purpose are driving young men to extremes. Most importantly, they offer a redemptive vision: practical ways to cultivate virtuous masculinity through mentorship, community, and spiritual formation.
