Ed Latimore is a former heavyweight boxer, competitive chess player, physics degree holder, veteran of the US Army National Guard, recovered alcoholic, husband and new father, and the author of three books, including the upcoming "Hard Lessons From the Hurt Business. He grew up in the hood, was flat broke by 27, and six years later he cracked 6-figures online, ironically, by tweeting about crack. From deeply unfavorable conditions, from his early life onwards, Ed decided to take over and did. For all these reasons and more, I honor Ed for the extraordinary man he is. By the end of this episode, after hearing his story, I hope you will too.

Dr. David Edgington is the author of the outstanding book "The Abusive Wife." But he proposes that the term "abusive" isn't accurate. A biblical term is "reviling", which he says, “Entails using speech as a non-contact weapon against another person.” Within the Christian church, pastors have overlooked this form of abuse of men in their rush to apologize for the past, continuing a trend that began long ago, succumbing to the idea that women are eternal victims and that every knee must bow to their feelings. But David wrote his book 8 years ago. So today it's hard not to call Dr. Edgington just a little bit prophetic, and quite a bit more than heroic. In our conversation David and I discussed: His excellent book "The Abusive Wife" How to Recognize a Reviled Husband Wokeness and Christianity Women and Their Anger The Danger of the Secular Courts How Abuse Can Sanctify Us Why Women's Feelings Are NOT Sovereign.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Feminism succeeded in making men and women forget how to talk to each other, and instead taught us to talk past each other. This process has been evolving since World War 2, when some of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers went to work in the factories, and decided (wrongly) that they don’t need men. That’s a lie from the pits of hell. Women do need men, and the longer they pretend they don’t, the worse it’ll be for them. But men and women are being reborn in Christ, together, and learning how to speak to one another again. This conversation between me and Anneliese from Feminine not Feminist is an example. In our conversation we discussed: The CS Lewis “Space Trilogy” Alison Armstrong’s “The Queen’s Code” Mom Culture and Resentment Was Eve Controlling Adam? Feminism and Black Lives Matter The Power of Women’s Smile Men, Women, and Forgiveness Thanks to The Bottle & Bean in Chandler, Arizona. # WATCH MY DOCUSERIES OVERVIEW # https://renofmen.com/series Thank you. # CONNECT WITH ANNELIESE # https://www.instagram.com/feminine_not_feminist/ https://linktr.ee/femininenotfeminist # DIGITAL CONFERENCE - EDITION 2 # "The Proverbs 31 Woman" with: Alison Armstrong, Feminine Not Feminist, Dear Sister, Solie Olie, Bernadine Bluntly, Isa Ryan, Martine De Luna.

RENAISSANCE OF MEN DOCUMENTARY OVERVIEW: https://youtu.be/6RGDFEUoLpU -- My guest this week is Chase aka SovereignBrah. You might not know his name, but you'll almost certainly recognize his face. Last year he was anon, until he appeared on the Whatever podcast, where he spoke truth to a panel of girls about their life choices and went mega viral. That led him onto Tim Pool's show, and on that show, Chase took a big risk, one of the biggest risks of all: preaching the Gospel to Tim and his audience of millions. That clip exploded. For all the godly men wondering, "Who would I be if it were my turn on the stage?" I pray Chase provides you an example of who I think we'd all like to be, and work to become. In our conversation we discussed: Chase's background and ride to stardom God humbling the proud Physical strength and spiritual strength The Alpha Male vs. Incel False Dichotomy Righteous Ambition and Spiritual Warfare Our testimonies, and Chase's story of his transformation in Christ CONNECT WITH CHASE https://twitter.com/sovereignbrah Original Whatever Podcast Appearance Tim Pool Podcast Appearance - MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST https://twitter.com/ChivalryGuild "More Than A Carpenter" - Josh McDowell "They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll" - Good Fight Ministries Chuck Missler Lecture "Cosmic Codes" - DIGITAL CONFERENCE - EDITION 2 "The Proverbs 31 Woman" with: Alison Armstrong, Feminine Not Feminist, Dear Sister, Solie Olie, Bernadine Bluntly, Isa Ryan, Martine De Luna: Get tickets: http://renofmen.com/conference - SPONSOR - REFORMATION COFFEE Hand-roasted in small batches within two days of your order, from a Reformed pastor in Springfield, Missouri with 15 years of roasting experience. http://reformationcoffee.com Entercode SUBFREE to get a free bag with a new monthly subscription.

Arthur Dayne hosts the podcast and Instagram page, Blood and Rain, and leads the Anti-Fragile Fitness online community. He's also a stage-trained actor, brooding and thoughtful writer, and an aspiring pro fighter whose physique looks like a dump truck with fists. In 2020 he felt the call to speak up on masculinity, fitness, philosophy, geopolitics, art, culture, literature, the SF-Oakland Bay Area, and, of course, fighting. He's since become a mentor and role model in his own right, leading the men of Anti-Fragile Fitness, forward into war. Cultural war, political war, religious war, a war on weakness, gravity, and the other man in the ring.

**WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE AND POLITICAL SATIRE** Cool Hand James is one of my favorite comedy creators on YouTube. He has a bloodhound's sense for grifters, and a laser-sharp targeting system on their scams. Plus a gravelly voice, a thick British accent, deadpan delivery, and a devil-may-care attitude for calling out creatures of the online ecosystem that monetize attention through manipulation. Yes, I laughed, a lot. But James also got me thinking about how easy it is to take people seriously online who shouldn't be taken seriously at all. In our conversation we discussed: His background, and how he became a comedic commentator The definition of grifting, and some examples like Tim Pool, Jack Murphy, Matt Walsh, and others The differences between American and UK politics Ukraine, Germany, and the EU Why he's a fan of trans women and not the 19th Amendment The story of how he got banned from YouTube for cyberbullying the president of the United States, Joe Biden.

Jim Clair is a writer. That's it. He got his start in Direct Response copywriting, from which he's retired. Now he reads, thinks, writes, and works to surface the deceptions, flawed beliefs, and lies of the worlds through which he's traveled, on his way to a better, fuller life.

Spencer Smith is the director and creator of the outstanding Third Adam series of documentaries, as well as a preacher, evangelist, husband, and father of four. Better than anyone I've seen, Spencer Smith has documented the existence of the so-called Divine Feminine and its efforts to infiltrate American culture and the American Evangelical Church. This is one of those things you have to see for yourself to understand. And once you do, you'll see it everywhere. And the spiritual warfare that we're living through will finally make sense. In our conversation, we discussed: The Third Adam Series and Its Origins; Spencer's Testimony; Spencer’s Overseas Missionary Work in Africa; Syncretism vs. Fundamentalism; The Divine Feminine's influence on the Church; Mystery Babylon and the False Holy Spirit; Why Santa Claus is a Calvinist.

Lawson Speaks Truth is a fiery and inspiring creator and community leader guiding men in biblical masculinity, fatherhood, and courtship. His content is challenging in a way that calls men to a higher standard. But he doesn't just call men to that higher standard, he works hard to embody it himself. He lives like his beliefs are true. His faith touches the ground, and roots itself firmly in the Earth, even against the opposition of an institution.

Tomer Strolight is the editor in chief of Swan Bitcoin. We’re living in an era where war has been declared on money. Not on physical bills or bank accounts, but on money’s value through inflation. But there’s a weapon we can use in this war to protect the value of our hard-earned wealth: Bitcoin. There’s another aspect of it, as well. Bitcoin creates spiritual transformations in the men who understand it. A brighter world begins to take shape in our imaginations. And Tomer is one of the men who’s best at envisioning it.

Lewis Ungit is the author of the outstanding book: “The Return of the Dragon: The Shocking Way Drugs and Religion Shape People and Societies.” I have extensive experience with “plant medicines” like ayahuasca and huachuma, which Christ saved me from. But had I known the truth of how these drugs were used in the societies that they originate from, I would have thought twice. Because when he says the SHOCKING way drugs and religion shape people and societies, he means it. In our conversation we discussed: Lewis' story and the background of the book; The case for and against psychedelics; Why Transhumanism is Worse than Atheism; The Biblical Warnings of Pharmakeia; Angels vs. Demons in the Bible; The So-Called "Wisdom" of Spiritsl; Finding Forgiveness in Christ.

Gabe Finochio is a Christian educator, content creator, musician, and meme magician. You might follow him and his creations on Instagram as Woke Jesus Christ, Silly Graham Ministries or TheosU Memes (RIP). If you do, you'll know he's helped create a Christian meme language all his own. But not long into this discussion I realized that behind his "serrated edge," he also has a rich perspective on theology, morality, politics, culture, sovereignty, the decline of the United States, and more. Which is probably where memes really come from: a grasp of the issues that runs so deep, it can be expressed in a single image and just a few words. Viewed that way, memes really are magic. In our conversation we discussed: The McDonalds of Evangelism Cooking the Evangelical Books Puffer Fish Churches Ecumenism vs. Sectarianism Left vs. Right, and Up vs. Down The Rights of God Over the State Satire as Sneak Attack.

“Will’s Notes” are short, shareable essays about various topics related to masculinity, femininity, politics, religion, the Renaissance, and more. In this episode... I explain the concept of a “Cult of Personality” as it applies to the men’s movement, plus how to identify them, and why they’re so dangerous.

~ My 100th Episode! ~ My guest this week is George Thomas, but you may know him better by his pen name, Quintus Curtius. He's an attorney, MIT graduate, former marine officer, author, and the translator of the timeless work of philosophy, Cicero's "On Duties." Cicero wrote "On Duties" to his son, passing along fatherly wisdom to aid the boy in his education. And the gift that Quintus Curtius has given all of us, as men and women, is to reach back across more than 2000 years, just before the Christian era, to find a snapshot of a moment between father and son that I think that many of us today, are longing for. In our conversation, George and I discussed: His Own Background and Life Path The Origins and Structure of "On Duties" Philosophy and Time Travel The Value of Anger Men's Obligation to Pursue Virtue Religion vs. Philosophy An Appreciation of Fine Firearms WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/z3pSspEVuYA MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST "The Mutilation of Responsibility" Essay https://qcurtius.com/2023/01/21/the-mutilation-of-responsibility/ CONNECT WITH QUINTUS CURTIUS https://qcurtius.com/ https://twitter.com/QuintusCurtius RENAISSANCE MENTORSHIP The world says masculinity is toxic.

Mike Pantile is a husband, father, personal trainer, and Instagram content creator with a flaming sword of righteous and inspiring words. He cuts up Manosphere sacred cows like pickup, promiscuity, and "red pill" ideologies like they're nothing. His battle isn't against other men, though, but against the bad ideas he'd internalized and that almost took him, his marriage, and his entire life down. So to see him crusading for the power of truth to redeem both men and women is testimony that I'm excited to share. In our conversation, Mike and I discussed: Mike’s Journey of Transformation Red Pill Men Misusing Their Gifts The Art of Apology Manosphere Caricatures and Characters Fetishizing The So-Called Sigma Male Mike's Redemption of the Pantile Family Name MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST "Transforming the Inner Man" - John & Paula Sandford "The Power of One More" - Ed Mylett https://instagram.com/thewisdomofkings https://instagram.com/masculinerevival https://instagram.com/dadwork.curt https://instagram.com/shastorra https://instagram.com/auth.masculinity https://instagram.com/blood_and_rain https://instagram.com/thesaxoncross https://instagram.com/jeremiah_hendry CONNECT WITH MIKE https://instagram.com/mikepantile RENAISSANCE MENTORSHIP The world says masculinity is toxic.

Gabe Rench is a husband, father of three, and serial entrepreneur. But you may know him better as the Waterboy, co-founder of the Fight Laugh Feast Network and co-host of the popular Christian news and commentary podcast Cross Politic. A lot of men say things like "This is the hill I'm willing to die on." But do you know which hill you're willing to build on? Because if you ask me, it's time we start listening to the wisdom of men like Gabe, and get to work building.

Ross Hillier is a strength and fitness coach, host of the Nomad Strength podcast, husband, father of two, and brother in Christ. The tagline on his website reads, "building men into leaders through strength and fitness." Sometimes it seems in the Christian world that these ideas make men uncomfortable. To that I say, good. Because how can Christian men expect to take dominion over an entire nation if they can't do it over their own bodies? In our conversation, Ross and I discussed: His transition to parenthood The amazing capability of children Why men need community and brotherhood Minimalism and achievement in fitness The Dangers of Celebrity, as faced by the Liver King Fitness As a Process and Journey.

Nate Spearing is a husband and father of 5, a former Army Ranger and elite special forces operator, general contractor, triple entrepreneur, podcast host, public speaker, brother in Christ, a friend. Put it all together, and he's the first man I've ever met who rises to the high standards of the renowned science fiction author Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers) who said, “Specialization is for insects.” In our conversation, Nate and I discussed: Christian Women, the Internet, and Modesty Dishonorable Christian Men Apologies and Forgiveness Being Loved By Our Wives The Power of Postmillennialism Treasuring your Christian heritage WATCH ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/bunGeIEOKqM MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST "Ignore Everybody" - Hugh MacLeod Reformed Basics Playlist Nate @ County Before Country Doug Wilson - "How To Save the World In 11 Simple Steps" CONNECT WITH NATE www.Spearing.co www.Instagram.com/TheSpearing www.Twitter.com/TheSpearing https://www.spearing.co/content_type/podcasts/life-on-target RENAISSANCE MENTORSHIP The world says masculinity is toxic.

Evan Amato is the founder of Rewire the West, a website and YouTube channel that helps men and women rediscover beauty, truth, and virtue in today's Western culture. The key word is RE-discover, as in it's already there. The West has a centuries-long tradition of the arts that we can turn to, if only we know where to turn. And that's Evan's goal: to create resources that point us in the right direction and kick us in the behind to send us on our way. He and I produced a series of videos together about men's isolation, which is why I'm grateful to host Evan on my podcast today. In our conversation we discussed: The origins of Rewire the West The mixed blessings of global travel France as the best and worst country How art is for the people The Lord of the Rings and religion An examination of classical music you won't want to miss... plus homework!

Will Knowland is a husband, father of 7, and educator. You might have seen his Knowland Knows videos on YouTube, his articles on Substack, or scorching tweets where he takes down degeneracy, promiscuity, the Manosphere and more. He was an educator at the prestigious UK boarding school Eton, which has produced 20 UK prime ministers. But he was sacked, or "fired" for producing a video called "The Patriarchy Paradox" which undermines all the core arguments of feminism. That didn't stop him, though. In fact, it helped him reach a worldwide audience excited to hear what he had to say. In our conversation, we discussed: His background at Eton and the story of how he was fired The loss of fathers, and the rise of gangs Promiscuity and Weaponized Chastity Taking apart Nietzsche The benefits of barbell training The idolatry of the body.

Pastor Doug Wilson is the author, elder, preacher, teacher, and recalcitrant troublemaker from Moscow, Idaho. And Christiana Hale is the author of “Deeper Heaven: A Reader’s Guide to the CS Lewis Ransom Trilogy.” They were both my teachers in helping me understand a trilogy of books that have impacted my faith more deeply than I could have imagined. Because in this 80-year old series, CS Lewis aims to reinspire the modern imagination about the spiritual and material shape of the cosmos… before the “scientifically-driven” view takes things too far. And I believe these books are relevant for Christians today to help them see, fight, and win the cosmological war that’s taking place within the religious war raging all around us.

Alison Armstrong is a speaker, thought leader, friend, and bestselling author of The Keys to the Kingdom, and The Queen's Code. In 2018, as I was discovering that the men's movement was much bigger than I realized, reading Tomassi and Donovan, and listening to Michler and Peterson, I also discovered Alison's books. I saw myself reflected in them to a degree that I still find striking. Now, almost 9 years after publishing the Queen's Code in print, she's finally released it in audiobook version, read in her voice. And not a moment too soon. Because The Great Reconciliation is happening, and the Queen's Code audiobook is here to help us all hear and most importantly FEEL the way we could be, as women and as men, together. In our conversation we discussed: - Alison's journey to write and record the Queen's Code - The difference between needing vs. being needy - How Alison used to treat men at parties - The importance of discovering our ultimatums; - Why we should all go a bit easier on "nice guys” - My own important learnings from Alison about the Great Reconciliation - Finally, stories about her relationship with the man in her life, Dan WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/i2x3SKht-w4 https://youtube.com/@renofmen CONNECT WITH ALISON ARMSTRONG http://alisonarmstrong.com Buy the Queen's Code audiobook Buy the Queen's Code in print at Lulu.com SPONSOR: My 12-week Renaissance Mentorship Program The Greek mathematician Archimedes said, "Find me a solid point on which to stand, and I will move the Earth."

Jeremy Stalnecker is a former Marine infantry officer and an Iraq War Veteran who earned a Navy Commendation Medal with V for Combat Valor. He's also a former pastor, and the CEO and Co-Founder of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a Christian organization supporting veterans and first responders, helping them adjust to civilian life and deal with PTSD from a biblical perspective. He knows how capital T trauma, of the sort even civilians can't imagine, doesn't need to define us, as men. We can't let trauma limit what God wants us to do in our lives. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of masculinity, driven by raw and honest self expression, help hurting men move forward. In our conversation Jeremy and I discussed: - The mission of Mighty Oaks - Trauma and its definitions and impact - The lack of healing in men's Christian groups - Men's isolation and suicide - The power of God and forgiveness - The Mighty Oaks women's program and its challenges - Christ as the example of masculinity - Jeremy's own story of achievement, fall, and redemption CONNECT WITH JEREMY STALNECKER http://mightyoaksprograms.org http://Jeremystalnecker.com March or Die Podcast - Spotify / Apple / Youtube Situation Report Podcast - Spotify / Apple https://www.instagram.com/jeremystalnecker/ https://twitter.com/jstalnecker MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST "The Truth about PTSD" book "It Happens In The Dark" - blog article Voddie Baucham - "Why I choose to believe the Bible" A Weekend to Remember Women's Legacy Program SPONSOR: My 12-week Renaissance Mentorship Program The Greek mathematician Archimedes said, "Find me a solid point on which to stand, and I will move the Earth."

Episode 3 of my three-part series, Live at ReformCon 2022. Pastor Toby Sumpter and the Reverend Dr. Joe Boot are two men who need no introduction. I admire them both for being two of the boldest men to carry and plant the flag of Christ in culture, and for their moral, intellectual, and even spiritual courage. Toby Sumpter hails from Moscow, Idaho, where he's a pastor, author, husband, father, blogger, and co-host of the popular podcast Cross Politic, hosts of the Fight Laugh Feast conference. Pastor Toby and I discussed: - The politics of 6-day creation - The secular American religion - Calvinism's influence on the American revolution - Christians building more than culture - The troubling eugenics of Dave Rubin's announcement - Christians duped with the offer of power https://crosspolitic.com/ https://flfnetwork.com/ https://www.tobyjsumpter.com/ https://www.kingscrossmoscow.com/ Dr. Joe Boot is the founder of the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity, and the founding pastor of the Westminster Chapel in Toronto. He's the author of several books, including the classic Mission of God, and has worked in the fields of Christian apologetics, worldview education and church leadership for over twenty years on both sides of the Atlantic. Dr. Boot and I discussed: - Aristotle’s impact on Christianity through Thomas Aquinas; - Nature and Grace as artificial distinctions; - how inflating Church and State paradoxically leads to secularization; - the meaning of Christ's Lordship over all spheres of life; -the Eschatology of Hope for Law, Politics, Medicine, and even Sports.

Episode 2 of my three-part series, Live At ReformCon 2022 Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant are the hosts of the hit international podcast Cultish. The show explores what they call "The Kingdom of the Cults", or the broad array of religions and practices around the world that mimic the behavior of a cult. They’ve covered Mormonism, astrology, tarot, faith healing, Reiki, polygamy, flat earth, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, the Enneagram, and even right wing politics and many sects of so-called Christianity. I also did three episodes with Cultish recently about Burning Man, and ayahasuca. It's vital that Christians have fluency with these beliefs and grasp how to refute them from a Christian perspective, which is why the ministry of Cultish is so important. In this conversation the three of us discussed: - My history in the New Age - The deception of yoga - Returning to biblical masculinity and femininity - The power of not having the last word - Topics that I might tackle in future appearances on Cultish - Jeremiah's insights into how to minister to New Age followers - Which book of the Bible is the first book of Apologetics - Amazing apologetic discourses from Andrew.

This past week, I hosted a podcast booth at ReformCon in Mesa, Arizona, a two-day conference put on by Apologia Church about reclaiming culture for Christ. The point of the conference is that it's not enough to be adept theologically. We must apply that theological rigor to the culture and institutions that surround us. At the conference, I conducted five sit-down interviews, to be released over three episodes. In this episode I interview: Pastor David Reece from Armored Republic. In the interview we discuss: – His new A3 product – The challenges and blessings of running a Christian business – How Christian businesses and small towns aren't utopia – The duty we all have to obey God and resist tyranny https://www.ar500armor.com/ Criminal defense attorney Davis Younts. In the interview we discuss: – His work with his organization Stand With Warriors – How the COVID vaccine has been treated differently by the military – The overreach of the Executive Branch – Need for strong men inside and outside the military to stand up to all of it. https://linktr.ee/davisyounts https://yountslaw.com/ https://twitter.com/DavisYounts THE RENAISSANCE OF MEN https://www.renofmen.com https://www.instagram.com/renofmen/ https://twitter.com/renofmen

Dale Partridge is the Pastor of Reformation Fellowship in Sedona, AZ. He heads up an impressive content creation network on the web, social media, and in print that evangelizes Reformed theology in a crisp, clear, and aesthetic way. Dale understands that perhaps one of the most important wars that any of us fight today is the war for attention. So what differentiates his content is not just theological rigor, but economy of exposition. In our conversation we discussed - His book "the Manliness of Christ" and the effeminacy of the American Christian church - How America has lost God's grace - The courage, commitment, and intensity, of Jesus - Christian Community building in Northern Arizona - His anti-porn program Stand in Victory, and much more CONNECT WITH DALE Real Christianity Podcast http://ReLearn.org/man http://MailTheGospel.org Twitter: @dalepartridge Instagram: @relearnhq REWIRE THE WEST + CULTISH + REFORMCON Rewire the West Playlist Cultish – Episode 3 ReformCon.org SPONSOR: My 12-week Renaissance Mentorship Program The Greek mathematician Archimedes said, "Find me a solid point on which to stand, and I will move the Earth."

William Butler (WB) Yeats (1865-1939) is an acclaimed Irish poet and the winner of the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature. He said, "The mystical life is the centre of all that I do and all that I think and all that I write." That statement takes shape in this, one of the last poems in his life. In this episode, I explore Yeats complicated and checkered past, and show the kind of fruit borne in the lives of those who practice mystical and occult arts. And I highlight the differences between the results of a life lived for self, and that lived for something far beyond the self.

Ryan King, known better on Instagram as TheWisdomOfKings is a husband, father, entrepreneur, content creator, and friend. In a short time he's come into a small community, and become the friend, brother, father figure, and role model many of us didn't know we needed. His growth hasn't been meteoric, more like a diesel truck. Because his writing is real, authentic, and grounded. It's not based on theory, but experience. His words say, "All those things you guys talk about, I've done." Having flown to Arkansas to meet him, his wife, and his sons, I can tell you, he is every bit the man he says he is. In our social media-driven age when everyone is tempted to exaggerate here or embellish there, a genuine man is a rare commodity, indeed. In our more than 4-hour conversation, Ryan and I discussed: Becoming a successful content creator The philosophy of his content Homeschooling before it was cool The weakness of fathers who say “Because I said so” The need for Christians with a spine Getting past bullying The feeling of leaving it all on the field.

Dr. Ben Merkle is the President of New St. Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho. If we’re going to fight the culture war at the highest level, we need higher education. Following decades of the Marxist “Long March Through the Institutions,” America has an uphill battle to reclaim our colleges and universities. But in Idaho a small school named New St. Andrews (NSA) is leading the charge against our broken higher education system. And the leader of New St. Andrews is Dr. Ben Merkle. NSA’s website reads, “Graduating leaders who shape culture living faithfully under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.” As you'll hear, everything New St. Andrews does is in service of this simple mission, which has taken shape under Ben's leadership. And not a moment too soon. In our conversation we discussed: The origins of New St. Andrews in the vision of Pastor Doug Wilson "The COVID Moment” Ben’s path to leadership The NSA curriculum and mode of student life The Biden loan forgiveness program Postmillennialism and institutions Why Women should go to college Ben’s vision for the future of NSA WATCH THIS VIDEO AND CLIPS ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/5Z4Mdq9EiBc https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRenaissanceOfMen MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST "Big Ed" Ad The Lost Tools of Learning "Eve In Exile" Book and Documentary REWIRE THE WEST + CULTISH + REFORMCON Rewire the West Playlist Cultish - Episode 1 ReformCon.org SPONSOR: The Renaissance of Men Coaching and Group If you feel a call unheeded in your life, I understand.

2-YEAR ANNIVERSARY EPISODE Rob, Katie, Barb, and Andrea might be names you don’t immediately recognize. But if you listen to this podcast, the contribution they made to my life should be familiar: they introduced me to Christ at Burning Man, and baptized me 5 years later, almost to the day. They ran a ministry at that New Age, pagan, hedonistic festival, for over a decade, reaching out to some of the most lost and rebellious seekers. But even those men and women were in need of a Father’s blessing. They just didn’t know it. In our conversation we discussed: The genesis of Spirit Dream, and its rapid growth Fitting in with the unique festival culture Lessons learned and dangers confronted, and why they stopped going Behind the scenes of the camp protocols The co-existing spiritual kingdoms Their perspective on meeting me and watching my transformation And finally, at the very end, a small sign that God may be bigger than previously thought This episode is a dream come true for me, in part because these were the first four people I ever told about my vision for the Renaissance of Men. I pray that I can be a living example of the fruit of their ministry.
