In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss masculinism - a topic prompted by a recent article written by Helen Lewis for The Atlantic titled “The Men Who Want Women to Be Quiet.” The article explored the movement underway by Douglas Wilson, the co-founder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, who has been working for half a century to cast his theocratic vision for our country. Core among his beliefs is his position that women have overstepped their boundaries. He wants them out of political office, out of the military and out of the polling booths. Why is this idea of masculinism taking hold in some spheres? Episode Links There are two articles that Dr. White noted at the top of the episode that point to recent events related to the invasion of masculinism in everything from the SBC to Judaism: Daniel Estrin, “Israel allows women to take rabbinic test for 1st time, but not become Orthodox rabbis,” NPR. Scott Barkley, “Mohler to call for ‘Truth & Unity' amendment to SBC Constitution at annual meeting,” Baptist Press. Bob Smietana, “Southern Baptists Move Closer to Constitutional Ban on Women Pastors,” Christianity Today. Dr. White also noted how some of this movement has stemmed from the idea of men being lost in our world today. There was a past podcast episode that he mentioned that we'd suggest you go back and listen to -CCP111: On Gen Z Men Failing to Launch - as well as a blog simply titled “Lost Men.” There's also a very helpful article written by Christine Emba in The Washington Post titled “Men are lost. Here's a map out of the wilderness.” And then there are two additional past podcast episodes related to men that we'd suggest you check out: CCP72: On Toxic Masculinity and CCP101: On "Bluey" and Modern Fatherhood.

Send us Fan MailNEW EPISODE - I'm so pleased to welcome back my friend Peter Wehner —  political thinker, former White House speechwriter, regular contributor to The Atlantic and The New York Times, and one of the most thoughtful Christian voices speaking into America's moral and political turmoil.Peter joins me to discuss four remarkable recent *essays that confront some of the darkest and most urgent questions facing our nation right now. Together, we explore the rise of militant Christian nationalism, the theology and rhetoric surrounding Pete Hegseth, and the dangerous fusion of political grievance, religious certainty, and the language of holy war.Peter examines how biblical texts — especially the imprecatory Psalms — are being weaponized to justify aggression, vengeance, and even bloodlust in modern political life. We talk about the influence of figures like Douglas Wilson, the appeal to “King David” spirituality, and why many respected biblical scholars insist that the conquest ethic of the Old Testament cannot be used as a model for Christian political action today. As Peter argues, the Sermon on the Mount stands as a direct repudiation of that worldview.We also step back from the headlines to reflect on our deeply fractured culture — our polarization, loneliness, loss of community, and longing for what the Hebrew Scriptures call shalom. Along the way, we draw wisdom from voices like Desmond Tutu, Rowan Williams, and David Bentley Hart.This is an honest, sobering, and ultimately hopeful conversation about faith, power, truth, and the soul of America. I hope you'll join us.*See SHOW NOTES for Pete's four recent essays.Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

By the grace of God, we have seen a genuine Christian community grow up in our midst over the years. We have wanted to be a Bible people, which means Christian liberty on issues like alcohol, and so we have not allowed the traditions of men to place any extra-biblical restrictions on us. God gave wine to gladden the heart of man (Ps. 104:15), God urges the purchase of strong drink with the tithe money (Dt. 14: 26), and the Lord Jesus Himself uses wine in the sacrament of the new covenant (Luke 22:20; 1 Cor. 11:25). “Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations—“Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle”” (Col. 2:20–21, NKJV). So never let a legalist bind up your liberty in Christ.But our liberty in Christ has a left flank also, and in a community like ours, and in times like ours, it is far too easy to leave that flank exposed. I am talking about the threat of license, which in the name of liberty abuses God's grace even more than does the legalist. King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

The recent surge of Christianity has been heavily influenced by vocal Catholics, or at least those who give them the platforms to speak. This includes Candace Owens, Tucker, Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Nick Fuentes, etc. It has also been influenced by is Israel propaganda in making a link between Jesus and the modern state of Israel. The First Amendment guarantees religious freedom from both restriction and force. It applies to atheists as much as it applies to Islam and general Christianity, including Catholicism. The question is, are Christians in general willing to allow their faith to be mocked because of Jewish propaganda; are Christians willing to allow Catholics to be targeted by people like Douglas Wilson, and Pete Hegseth, in the name of the defeating antisemitism or religious competition? The same goes for free speech. Are we willing to tolerate mockery and restriction of both religion and speech for the benefit of one group or another? Are we really unable to see that lowering a group from the position of superiority that they placed themselves in, and treating them not with special privileges but with blind equality, is not hateful or antisemitic? On the other hand, are we really unable to see that people who elevate themselves over others in these ways are really anything but human. Ion their attempt to appear morally and spiritually superior, they belittle the rest of humanity, proving that they are not superior or equal; they are inferior because they are a threat to civilization and the law which holds it together. When it's acceptable to condemn one group and not another with speech, then we do not live in a free society. When Carrie President Prejean Boller, a Catholic, can be fired from the Religious Liberty Commission for expressing her religious views, we do not have religious freedom.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this solo episode, I explore a tension that I've encountered both personally and clinically—the way some high-control religious communities can feel deeply warm, relational, and inviting at first, and yet over time reveal a much more rigid and exclusionary structure underneath.I begin with a personal reflection on being re-exposed to Douglas Wilson while listening to conversations about Christian nationalism, and how his winsome, calm, and disarming tone stands in stark contrast to what I see as deeply dangerous ideas—especially when it comes to democracy, pluralism, and the ability for real difference to exist.From there, I unpack what I'm calling aesthetic hospitality—the way warmth, attentiveness, and belonging can function as a kind of soft power that draws people in before they've had the chance to fully discern what they're stepping into.Drawing on psychoanalytic insights, including Todd McGowan's critique of community and James Hollis' distinction between internal and external authority, I explore how belonging in these systems is often conditional, particularly for LGBTQ+ individuals, and how exclusion is frequently reframed as truth, morality, or righteousness.This episode is ultimately an invitation to develop a deeper kind of discernment—not just asking whether a community is kind or welcoming, but whether it can actually tolerate your full existence without requiring you to become someone else in order to belong.

In this episode, Douglas Wilson returns to the question of immigration, arguing that the real issue is not immigration versus no immigration but rates of immigration. He then explores the morally neutral verb metastrepho, to turn, showing how turning from vice to virtue is repentance while turning the gospel is to pervert the gospel of Christ, before concluding with a review of Plato’s Revenge and its case that the spiritual world is a necessary, empirically demonstrable reality.
