In this episode, I'll talk about why we should ridicule what is ridiculous and why we should smash idols in public. In particular, we'll talk about the three daughters of feminism—three visions for womanhood—that need to be dismantled. They are what I'm calling Girl Boss, Inc., Taylor Swift, and Yoga Pants. In Judges 6, Gideon was raised up by the Lord to fight against the Midianites, but first, he was called to smash his father's idol in the public square and to replace it with the altar of the Lord. The people repented, and God sent a prophet with hard words. So, do we need top down or bott ..read more

In his book, The Silver Chair, C.S. Lewis tells an interesting story about a dilapidated school run by a woman trying to be a Head. She is a picture of what happens when women are wrongly put in places of rule, and how weaponized empathy controls an environment—and eats it alive. We'll talk about male headship, why it is necessary, and why women aren't made to rule in home, church, or society. Sign up for the New Christendom Press Conference in June 2024.

A recent tweet of Eric's went viral on Twitter/X, which at the time of this post, had reached over 10 million impressions. What gives? Taylor Swift appeared on TIME magazine as "Person of the Year," scantily clad and with a cat draped around her neck. It may be the perfect picture of today's feminine ideal, but it's also heinously destructive for women, families, and society. We discuss in this week's episode. In this episode we talk about a father's duty to protect his daughter's sexuality, and why this is an important inheritance given to future husbands. We also talk about Doug Wilson's bo ..read more
