Send us a textIn this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones dive deep into Michael Clary's provocative article, How Loser Theology is Poisoning the Church. They unpack the roots of pietism and quietism in evangelical circles and challenge men to consider whether they've been too passive in standing for truth in culture. The hosts debate whether Christians should seek influence, how the New Testament speaks about power, and why being “nice” isn't the same as being faithful. This conversation is a call for Christian men to boldly live out kingdom truth in a confused and compromised world.Read the article for yourself: https://www.dmichaelclary.com/p/how-loser-theology-is-poisoning-the

What ONE insight will either make or break your life as a Christian, or even as a non-Christian? If followed, it will help your marriage, parenting, business, job, friendships, politics, and most importantly, your eternity and your relationship with Jesus.Spurred by recent political and cultural events surrounding President Trump's first 100 days in office and comments made by Vice President J.D. Vance during a recent interview about protecting the interest of American citizens, Frank reminds listeners of the doctrine of "Ordered Loves". Originally articulated by Augustine over 1,600 years ago, this classic school of thought seems to be totally lost among our culture today. Tune in as Frank answers questions like:What is the Doctrine of "Ordered Loves", why is it so important, and how does it affect every single area of your life?What are the negative consequences when we get the order wrong?What did Jesus have to say about getting our priorities in the right order?What did Dr. Erwin Lutzer mean when he said "love can be evil"?Why did Vice President J. D. Vance recently cause a stir during an interview and what did Pope Leo XIV have to say about it?Why do so many people (including some who claim to be Christians) reject the idea of hierarchies and an ordered world?What's the difference between true and false compassion?Is character in politics only about personality?What are 15 things that the Trump Administration has done policy-wise during the first 100+ days in office that all Christians should support?What is the primary purpose of government?Is idolizing politics really a problem among conservative Christians?In his article, 'Why Progressive Christians Reject the Doctrine of "Ordered Loves"', Michael Clary writes, "Whether we like it or not, God's world is ordered and hierarchical. We can embrace it and enjoy the blessings of living according to God's design, or we can reject it and live a life of bitterness, like so many progressives."

Pastoral ministry has gone through hard times. The fall of many pastors has only exacerbated the epidemic in our culture. In this interview, Pastor Michael Clary elaborates on his excellent piece at Sola Ecclesia where he defines the problem in pastoral ministry: Unfortunately, many neutral-world churches built with neutral-world tools have been thoroughly leavened with destructive unbiblical ideas. It will take courage and discipline for faithful pastors to correct them. Otherwise, gangrenous ideas are normalized as unspoken expectations in the church. These unbiblical ideas are eventually institutionalized as those who hold them assume leadership posts. This conversation is incredibly sobering, and I trust it will prove beneficial to pastors and parishioners alike. Michael Clary is the lead pastor of Christ the King Church in Cincinnati, OH. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/uriesou-tenorio-brito/support

It's June. Which means once again Christians – along with people of all stripes – are getting bombarded by anti-biblical LGBTQ+ propaganda. Those pushing the saturation coverage are not interested in tolerance. Nor are they acting out of kindness. Powerful interests - corporations, governments and celebrities – are aggressively foisting this upon you, whether you like it or not. If you're like many biblical Christians, you're well past being fed up with this evil. But what can you do about it? How can pastors prepare their flocks? How can believers push back and speak to their kids? Returning to the Christian Emergency Podcast to speak to these issues is Pastor Michael Clary. He offers prescient insights for Christians needing answers. Michael and Andy discuss not only Pride Month, but also several related topics, including feminism, gender confusion, and even the recent Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Drawing out themes developed in his book – God's Good Design – Michael provides welcome clarity where there is currently confusion.

Some prominent leaders in the Church today regard themselves as elite Christians. They may not admit to that if asked, but a spirit of elitism is clearly at work. This is nothing new. The history of faith is filled with examples of leaders overly concerned about their influence and standing among other elites. But how does elite Christianity take root? How is it driving a wedge between Christians today? Can this growing rift be mended? Or is God shaking things up to refine his Church and reveal our true hearts? Importantly, what can Christian leaders do when they discover an elitist attitude within their own hearts? Pastor Michael Clary recently took to Twitter to thoughtfully reflect on his own struggles with elitist tendencies. As he examined the faithful examples of his grandfather and great-grandfather, Pastor Clary was convicted by their obedience pastoring rural churches. On this encore episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Pastor Clary shares insights into his recent examination of elite Christianity. He provides not only a clear picture of what is happening, but also encouraging ways leaders can step off the elitist path.

Loving something necessarily involves hating what would destroy it. Not convinced? Come on out to the Backwoods and we'll explain. ----- Michael Clary's Thread on Evangelical Tone Policing Follow Backwoods Belief on X

On Sunday we come to the last part of Genesis 2. Early this year, we spent some time in this section of Scripture when we looked at the Business of Is-Ness: Ontology 101. In that series we considered the nature of humanity, male and female, marriage and more.In so many ways, the ethical problems of our day (e.g., transgenderism, so-called same sex marriage, abortion, the breakdown of the family, the rise of minor-attracted persons, etc.) pass through Genesis 2:18–25. Indeed, we could spend multiple weeks on these verses alone in order address the problems of our day. But instead of doing that, I would point you to the previous sermon series, Michael Clary's recent book God's Good Design (soon to be on the bookshelf), and Sunday's sermon.This Sunday, we will see the goodness of God's plan to make his image male and female and the goodness of bringing them together in marriage. To prepare for Sunday, read Genesis 1-2 and Ephesians 5:15–33. Then pray that God would give us ears to hear what his Word says. I am persuaded that all of us are inclined to resist what Genesis 2:18–25 says. The deck is stacked against us today, as every form of education and entertainment teach us to think of ourselves as autonomous and self-directed individuals. Yet, Genesis 2:18–25 teaches something else. So, by God's grace, let us come to Scripture seeking to see what it says.As the Lord allows, I look forward to seeing you on Sunday and worshiping together our great triune God.For His Glory and your joy in Christ,Pastor DavidAs a reminder, the Manassas Community Group will be in overflow this Sunday.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Discussion & Response Questions (Genesis 2:18–25)What does this passage add to the creation story? Who is the author / definer of marriage? What is the purpose of marriage?Consider Genesis 2:18. What does it mean that man's aloneness is “not good”? How does this relate to God's statement of creation being “very good” (1:31)? What kind of help should be understood in 2:18? Who is called “helper”? Why does this matter?How should we understand the significance of man being formed first, and then woman being formed from man? This work of creation is different from all other creatures. Why?How does the creation of man and woman inform men and women today? What does the covenant between the man and woman tell us about men and women today?How does marriage point us to Christ and the church? Consider Ephesians 5.Consider Genesis 2:21-23 and John 19:34. What parallels do you observe between Adam and Christ?How do the moral imperatives of Ephesians 5:22-33 restore the pattern of marriage in creation?What does this passage teach singles? Married? Christians? Unbelievers?

Michael Clary and I discuss his new book "God's Good Design: A Biblical, Theological, and Practical Guide to Human Sexuality". This book is a must have in every Christian household. This book helps set out a clear positive vision for the beauty of God's good design for our sexuality. Far too many Christians focus on what they are against rather than what they are for. Pastor Clary helps us understand what we should be for as Christians.

I’m eager to share this interview with author and pastor Michael Clary about his new book, God’s Good Design. Michael shares some of his personal story, his love for the local church, and what prompted him to write this book (spoiler: struggling young women). He also helps us connect how we’re made to the Scriptures and to our God-given purpose in life. Join us as we consider what worldly ideas masquerade as enlightenment, when in fact we need to unlearn those false ideas about men and women and learn to see and love the reality of how God has made men and women. Here's a link to Michael's worthwhile book.

God's Good Design, written by Michael Clary, is an excellent observation of what the Bible has to say about our identity as men and women. We are similar, yet the differences between us matter, and are profound by the Bible's standards. Michael helps to explain some of the concepts of his book. These two pastors sit down to discuss current, controversial issues to the church , our very lives and relationships!

In this episode, I talk with Pastor Michael Clary, of Christ the King Church of Cincinnati, Ohio, about his new book “God's Good Design.” The issue of women in ministry is one of the most fiercely debated in otherwise conservative denominations and church networks. Michael and I discuss everything from praying to God as mother, to what a church looks like that is feminized, and finally his own experience as a pastor working out many of these issues. Michael's book addresses a crucial issue for the church today and every Christian will be better equipped by it. Support the show!! - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisGod's Good Design - https://amzn.to/3D7DPRoMichael Clary's Substack - https://dmichaelclary.com/Michael Clary Twitter - https://twitter.com/dmichaelclarySupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

Karl Vaters interviews Michael Clary about the dangers of what he calls Elitist Christianity. This conversation was inspired by a Twitter thread Michael wrote in which he confessed to an arrogant attitude he had developed as a young, successful church planter. Michael found himself looking down on pastors and Christians who hadn't had his training, even though they were the people whose shoulders he was standing on. His vulnerability, confession, and repentance hold great lessons for all of us.

Some prominent leaders in the Church today regard themselves as elite Christians. They may not admit to that if asked, but a spirit of elitism is clearly at work. This is nothing new. The history of faith is filled with examples of leaders overly concerned about their influence and standing among other elites. But how does elite Christianity take root? How is it driving a wedge between Christians today? Can this growing rift be mended? Or is God shaking things up to refine his Church and reveal our true hearts? Importantly, what can Christian leaders do when they discover an elitist attitude within their own hearts? Pastor Michael Clary recently took to Twitter to thoughtfully reflect on his own struggles with elitist tendencies. As he examined the faithful examples of his grandfather and great-grandfather, Pastor Clary was convicted by their obedience pastoring rural churches. On this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, Pastor Clary shares insights into his recent examination of elite Christianity. He provides not only a clear picture of what is happening, but also encouraging ways leaders can step off the elitist path.

In his book Surprised by Joy, C.S. Lewis rightly suggests that we ought not judge something (or someone) based on its newness or oldness at all. Techniques, styles, even church movements come and go, but those whom Christ saves, He sustains.
