JONATHAN RIOS | The Adventure of Faith Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

Jonathan Rios is a psychotherapist, outdoorsman, former Division 1 college athlete, and leader of men.

He's also a Christian, one of the most faithful and real men I know.

He holds his faith like a shield he carries in front of him, rather than a wall he hides behind. And he carries that shield into the lives and hearts of men crafting rites of passage for a generation of fatherless and under-fathered men.

He puts his faith in action. It's dynamic, alive, and real, fueled by a unique life of physical and professional accomplishment, experience, and travel.

This was a rare interview that, though it went for almost 4 hours, could have gone for much longer.

In our conversation we discussed:

His background and introduction to Christ
Paranormal Encounters in Ireland
Feeding the fire of faith
Surviving Slander
Why God Doesn't Care About Your Reputation
Christians and Childhood Trauma
Men and Honor Codes

BRANDON LANSDOWN | Taking Holiness Seriously Jun 09, 2023

Show notes

Brandon Lansdown is a husband and father, the pastor at Coram Deo Church in Springfield MO, the host of the Absolute Unit podcast, plus a general contractor, the founder of Reformation Coffee, and especially a humble and faithful man of God.

One testimony of that is how uncomfortable he'll probably be that I've said this about him, but he deserves it.

Not because he's a perfect man but because he's putting in the reps, taking risks, and walking the path that many men are and would like to be, including me.

In other words, he's leading by example, as an everyday man creating godly prosperity for his family and the Kingdom.

In our conversation we discussed:

Christian men and strength training
Families and modesty
Shepherding a flock
Masculine sanctification
The manly need for brotherhood
Building into Christendom
Enjoying coffee to the glory of God.

JOEL WEBBON | Winning Down Here Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

Pastor Joel Webbon is the Founder and CEO of Right Response Ministries, and the author of the new book “Fight By Flight.”

He's a FIGHTER, with a capital F. So, he's not everyone's cup of tea.

But last I checked, it isn't teatime. In the wise words of Pastor James White, today the enemies of Christendom want two things: your bloodstream and your offspring.

Maybe it's time to fight blade to blade. Scalpel to Sword of the Spirit. The Word of the State vs. the Word of God.

In our conversation we discussed:

Whether "We lose down here
The Only Promise of Postmillennialism
Why God Isn't Arbitrary
Hypocrisy, Authenticity, and Authority
Healthy Self-Doubt and Healthy Confidence
The Plague of Guilty Christian Men
His New Book “Fight by Flight.”

JARED LONGSHORE | Thinking In Covenants May 26, 2023

Show notes

Dr. Jared Longshore is the associate pastor at Christ Church in Moscow Idaho, a fellow of Theology at New St. Andrews College, and the author of “The Case for the Christian Family.”

I owe him a debt of gratitude. Because his new book is the introduction to the heart of paedo-baptism that I needed.

As I break from generations of Spencer family tradition, I'm asking how the story of redemptive history relates to me, to my kids, to their kids, and to households, communities, churches, and the nation.

"The Case for the Christian Family" helped me see that vision.

Jared and I discussed:

Christians and Covenant Thinking
The Power of American Revivalism
Baptist Individualism and Its Origins
The Corporate Identity of the Christian
Bringing Up Children in the Lord
Ice Cream, Nets & Fishes, and Circles of Light

ERIC CONN | Sex and The Church May 19, 2023

Show notes

Eric Conn is the host of The Hard Men Podcast, and the Kings Hall, and the CEO of New Christendom Press.

Recently he’s become a Twitter bomb thrower, launching scorching tweets that have gone nuclear viral for their controversial takes.

They reveal what gods cannot be questioned these days: The right for women to do, say, and wear whatever they want.

That’s why I wanted to have Eric on, because he speaks up about the idolatry of the feminine, professing the simple truth that women sin.

In our conversation we discussed:

Women's Sexual Power
Men and Women Discipled By Pornography
Why Pastors Are Men
Courage In Cultural Insanity
Christian Cultural and Political Theology
Why Courage is Contagious
The Generational Church Divide
Holding Women Accountable for their Sins

"Masculine Christianity" - Garris
"Intended for Pleasure" - Wheat
"Christian Modesty... Undressing America" - Jeff Pollard

MATT REYNOLDS | Choose the Hard Things May 12, 2023

Show notes

Matt Reynolds is the founder and owner of Barbell Logic, an online strength-training coaching program and content empire.

Matt doesn't posture, boast, or bluster. He's a down-to-earth man who's lived his struggles and transcended them in Christ.

That’s why he's the first guest of Reformation May: to set the stage, chart the course, show the way for my audience to begin taking their strength and fitness seriously.

Topics discussed:

Denominationalism in the Church
Why Twitter Isn't A Real Place
Aesthetics vs. Performance Improvement
Delayed Gratification and Involuntary Hardship
Postmillennialism and Purchasing Decisions
