3 Reasons Iran Will NEVER Choose Peace Jul 17, 2026

Show notes

Why does peace with Iran keep appearing close—only to collapse again?On this episode of The John Lovell Show, John goes solo to break down three reasons he believes a lasting agreement with Iran may be far more difficult than Western leaders realize. He examines Iran’s military position, nuclear ambitions, the religious and historical forces behind the conflict, and why negotiating with the Iranian regime may not work like a conventional nation-to-nation deal.John also explores the long-term growth of Islam, the ideological divide between the Islamic world and the Christian West, and why he believes any present-day peace agreement may ultimately prove temporary.Is peace with Iran genuinely possible? Could the Strait of Hormuz become a global chokepoint? Or is the current conflict part of something much older and larger?Watch the full episode, then let us know in the comments:Do you agree with John’s assessment? What is he missing? And if an agreement is reached, do you believe the peace will last?Topics covered:Iran peace negotiations, Donald Trump, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the Strait of Hormuz, Islam and Christianity, Middle East conflict, jihad, geopolitics, religious conflict, and the possibility of a wider war.Subscribe to Warrior Poet Society for more commentary on faith, culture, preparedness, politics, and the threats facing the West.Warrior Poet WEBSITE - https://warriorpoetsociety.comTRAIN with us - https://warriorpoetsupplyco.com/train1/Books by John Lovell - https://johnlovell.comGET the WarPoet app! | Original shows, training, and much more. iPhone, Android, Amazon, Apple TV etc. https://www.watchwpsn.com Watch the Rally Point Show on the Warrior Poet appFOLLOW US: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/warriorpoetsociety Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/warriorpoetsociety/ X | https://x.com/johnlovell275 Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/6O2q4F2tbmoddeSTo9jKNM?si=qzbO0G6xRs-rs51BZuP31QChapters0:00 Why There Is No Peace Deal0:59 Reason One: Iran Can’t Accept the Deal1:30 Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions2:05 An Ancient Theological Conflict3:32 Understanding the Present Through History4:00 The Growth of Islam5:44 Would Peace With Iran Be Temporary?6:50 C.S.

The Crisis Facing Men, Women, and the Church with Doug Wilson | The John Lovell Show Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

Pastor Doug Wilson joins John Lovell for a wide-ranging conversation about why modern culture cannot sustain itself—and why, as Doug puts it, “In the long run, stupidity doesn’t work.” They examine secularism, feminism, the growing divide between Gen Z men and women, marriage, family, education, church leadership, and the recovery of biblical masculinity.

Doug also explains how he built a multigenerational family that genuinely wants to remain close, and how parents can think wisely about classical Christian school and homeschooling.
In this episode: • Why modern culture, secularism, and sexual rebellion cannot last • How to build a family your children want to remain part of • The growing ideological divide between Gen Z men and women • Christian dating, courtship, marriage, and approaching her father • Why Stoicism, red-pill thinking, and raw willpower eventually fail • How husbands lead without anger and wives strengthen their husbands • Reformed versus Charismatic Christianity • Postmillennialism, Calvinism, revival, and church unity • The biblical connection between masculinity, responsibility, and authority

The conversation closes with Doug’s definition of masculinity: “the glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility.” Authority does not come from demanding control; it flows toward the man who gladly accepts responsibility and serves those entrusted to him.Warrior Poet WEBSITE - https://warriorpoetsociety.comTRAIN with us - https://warriorpoetsupplyco.com/train1/Books by John Lovell - https://johnlovell.comGET the WarPoet app! | Original shows, training, and much more. iPhone, Android, Amazon, Apple TV etc. https://www.watchwpsn.com Watch the Rally Point Show on the Warrior Poet appFOLLOW US: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/warriorpoetsociety Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/warriorpoetsociety/ X | https://x.com/johnlovell275Chapters00:00 John Introduces Doug Wilson00:45 Building a Family That Wants to Stay Close05:41 Christmas Traditions and Three Households07:21 Is Sabbath Rigidity Sabbath Breaking?10:33 What Real Rest Looks Like11:52 Why Pastors Should Read Fiction and Poetry14:55 Classical Christian School vs. Homeschool18:32 Watch Your Boys and Watch Your Girls20:11 In the Long Run, Stupidity Doesn’t Work21:53 Why Gen Z Men and Women Are Dividing25:23 Were Young Women Lied To?27:54 How to Find a Good and Worthy Wife32:58 Christian Courtship and Going Through Her Father37:12 Why Digital Chatting Kills Romance38:22 Red Pill, Black Pill, and Stoicism41:12 Vain Glory, Dark Glory, and the Gospel45:27 The Fastest Test of a Healthy Marriage48:32 The Biggest Red Flag in Marriage51:03 Why Wives Sometimes Resist Male Leadership53:15 The Cinder Block Test55:16 How a Husband Learns to Lead Without Anger57:57 How a Wife Strengthens or Discourages Her Husband1:00:09 When Should a Husband Apologize?1:04:37 Men Should Be Thermostats, Not Thermometers1:05:58 Reformed vs. Charismatic Christianity1:10:33 Putting the Fire Back in the Fireplace1:13:46 Reformation and Revival1:16:32 Doug Wilson’s Theological Identity1:19:57 Why Postmillennialism Changed Everything1:23:07 Is Calvinism the Secret Sauce of Revival?1:25:19 John Wesley, George Whitefield, and Grace1:30:05 How Doug Wilson Became a Calvinist1:36:15 How Much Doctrinal Agreement Does a Church Need?1:38:01 Preventing Church Division and Factions1:39:52 The Neglected Qualification for Church Leaders1:43:28 Doug Wilson’s Favorite Guns1:45:04 Masculinity and Sacrificial Responsibility1:47:04 Closing(DISCLAIMER: This post may contain paid advertisements or affiliate links.

From Warehouse to President, The Journey of a True Leader | John Lovell Show w/ Chris Speten” Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

John is no longer handling the day-to-day management of Warrior Poet Society. He remains the founder, owner, creative voice, and driving force behind the mission, but he has handed operational leadership to one of his closest friends: Chris Speten.

In this conversation, John and Chris explain why the change was necessary, how their friendship began before they had ever met, and why Chris moved across the country to help plant a church with a man he barely knew.

Chris also shares the unlikely path that prepared him to lead Warrior Poet Society—from working in a warehouse and managing sales teams to overseeing major construction projects, serving as an executive pastor, and now becoming president of WPS.

They also reveal three of the largest operational changes in Warrior Poet Society history:

• A new e-commerce platform

• New offices and studio space in Rome, Georgia

• A dedicated WPS warehouse designed to provide faster, more accurate shipping

This is not John walking away from Warrior Poet Society. It is a major leadership transition intended to strengthen the organization, improve the customer experience, and expand the impact of the WPS mission.

Show notes

Stop doom-scrolling and start building your mind. In this video, John pulls from a mystery box that contains books that completely re-wired how he thinks about his life, business, relationships, etc.—and discusses why "the books that write you" matter more than the books you write.

From heavy-hitting theology and apologetics to the surprising power of classic fiction, we break down why reading (and yes, audiobooks count!) is an essential discipline for the modern Warrior Poet. It's time we stop wasting our mental energy on social media feeds and start sharpening our minds.

We’re in America’s Third Greatest Crisis Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

What if the biggest lie about America is the story we were taught about our own founding?

In this episode of The John Lovell Show, John sits down with bestselling author Eric Metaxas to talk about his new book, Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World. Eric argues that the American Revolution was not merely a political rebellion or a product of Enlightenment ideals, but a deeply rooted biblical movement built on the belief that rights come from God, not government.

John and Eric discuss the Christian character of the American Revolution, George Washington crossing the Delaware, the difference between the American Revolution and the French, Bolshevik, and Chinese revolutions, the forgotten heroes of 1776, and why Eric believes America is now facing its third existential crisis.
