    Summary

    Why can't Christian families do the basic things Scripture commands of them? Chase sits down with Adam Madden, pastor in Brigham City, Utah, father of nine, and author of The Productive Household , for a conversation about the household as an economy. Adam moved his family to one of the least reached regions in the country, spent twenty-five years in pastoral ministry on the envelope system, and then bought a dog boarding business with no money down and leased a trout farm his kids could work. Along the way he came to a conviction: when a man goes to the Word and gathers up his duties as a husband and father, he does not need less time with his family. He needs more. They talk through Deuteronomy 6 and Ephesians 6 on leveraging content and context, the objective standard of 1 Timothy 3:4, why "family integrated" is a tool and not the goal, what baby steps actually look like for a two-income family that can't buy a farm, and Baxter's claim that there is no general reformation of the church without a reformation of the household.

    Summary

    Can a machine be sentient without being conscious? Should a pastor ever let AI touch his sermon? And what does a fourth-century hermit who lived to 105 in the Egyptian desert have to say about Ray Kurzweil? Chase sits down for a third time with C.R. Wiley, pastor, novelist, and author of the new Canon Press book Manmade: Saint Anthony's Guide to Surviving the AI Apocalypse, to work through what AI actually is and what it is doing to us. They cover Harari's claim that humans are hackable animals, the golem legends of Prague as the better metaphor for what we've built, why embodiment and vulnerability are the ground of moral intelligence, where the line falls between therapeutic and vanity uses of technology, and the hard pastoral question of whether AI belongs anywhere near the work of preaching. Wiley is neither a doomer nor a booster. He wants you to use the thing without being used by it.

    Summary

    Is gender a social construct, or is it more real than your body? C.S. Lewis said the second one and he meant it literally. Chase sits down with Josh Herring, director of the Logres Institute and author of Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, to trace Lewis's account of masculinity and femininity from Perelandra to That Hideous Strength. They cover the linguistic history of "sex" and "gender" in the OED, Simone de Beauvoir and the three waves of feminism, why Lewis's Platonism puts the idea before the biology (and why Chase pushes back as an Aristotelian), what evangelical men's ministry gets wrong, and whether we will still be male and female in the resurrection. A conversation about receiving reality instead of constructing it.

    Summary

    Is your body a discipleship issue? Chase sits down with Anthony Diehl — pro strongman turned metabolic health coach, founder of MODUS — and Matt Patrick, co-lead pastor at The Well and an operator in the health space, for a conversation that starts with testosterone and ends up in anthropology. The three of them work through the collapse in male T levels, what actually causes it, and the difference between deficiency, optimization, and enhancement. But the real question underneath is theological: what do we make of a faith that confesses the resurrection of the body and then treats the body as spiritually irrelevant? Anthony calls it latent Gnosticism, and he traces the biblical alternative — David's aching bones, Paul's bowels of mercy, a Scripture that assumes your physiology and your affections are not sealed off from one another. Along the way: whether Adam and Jesus had "optimal" T, what low testosterone does to a man's agency and appetite for sin, why the myth of roid rage is mostly a myth, how to tell a good clinic from a predatory one, the honest case against steroids from a man who used them, and where the line falls between a biological deficiency and plain old spiritual laziness. If you've ever suspected the split between body and soul was doing damage in your church, this one names it.

    Summary


    Is your church quietly training you to lose? Chase sits down with pastor and author Michael Clary to talk through his new book Loser Theology: Why the Weak Will Not Inherit the Earth (Canon Press). Michael diagnoses a malady in the modern church — a "fortune-cookie" spirituality that dresses up passivity as holiness, treats giving up power as the heart of the gospel, and conditions Christians (especially men) to be doormats. Chase and Michael, who go back to their Acts 29 days, dig into the sound-bite theology of Keller, Russell Moore, and Beth Moore, the difference between gentle-and-lowly and firm-and-direct pastoral care, and a whole-Bible reading of the hard sayings — turn the other cheek, servant of all, do not resist the evildoer — that refuses both wooden literalism and liberal escape hatches. The positive vision: high agency Christianity, rooted in the creation mandate and the Great Commission, that recovers authority, dominion, and courage as gifts to be stewarded rather than idols to be surrendered. Whether you’ve felt the dissonance and couldn’t name it or you’re ready to fight it, this one will put steel in your spine.

    Guest: Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale ("Raw Egg Nationalist")

    The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity (Amazon) — hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook - https://amzn.to/4w7aJvl

    Summary

    What if the crisis of modern masculinity isn't only spiritual — but biological? Chase sits down with Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale — the Oxford- and Cambridge-trained historian known online as Raw Egg Nationalist — to talk through his provocative new book, The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity. They trace Charlie's unlikely path from medieval church historian to one of the most influential voices in the MAHA movement, and dig into his central thesis: that liberalism itself is a low-testosterone system, that endocrine disruptors and processed food are quietly reshaping men, and that Francis Fukuyama's "last man" is now a physiological reality. Along the way they wrestle with the Christian temptation to divorce body from soul, Nietzsche's critique of Christianity as a slave morality, the guilty conscience, Christian vitalism, and whether the church still has the vitality to fight. Whether you're deep in this conversation already or skeptical of the whole thing, this one will sharpen you.

    Summary


    Has the American church kept gun ownership as a cultural inheritance while losing the doctrine that justifies it? Chase sits down with Isaac Botkin of T.REX ARMS and author of Path of Liberty for a wide-ranging conversation on the biblical foundations of self-defense, the strange world of GunTube, why John Piper is wrong about home defense, what red flag laws actually do to common law, Protestant resistance theory and the 250th anniversary of America, and why AI is the new gunpowder. They get into Palantir, decentralization, the future of corporate America, and whether the citizenry is virtuous enough to handle the tools coming our way. Whether you're a Second Amendment absolutist, a curious pastor, or just trying to think Christianly about technology and power, this one will give you a lot to chew on

    Summary
    Is Britain finished, or is it finally waking up? Chase sits down with Connor Tomlinson — British commentator, writer, and former Lotus Eaters host — for a wide-ranging conversation on the collapse of the United Kingdom and the political insurgency rising to meet it. They cover Connor's path from Catholic revert and university free-speech fighter to independent commentator, the dilapidated state of British towns and the NHS, the demographic catastrophe of the Boris wave, and the Pakistani grooming gangs scandal that the state spent decades covering up. Then they dig into the recent local elections, the difference between Nigel Farage's Reform UK and Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, why Keir Starmer is the most hated prime minister on record but refuses to leave, the House of Lords, and whether the King could actually do anything to save the country. If you want to understand what's happening across the pond and why Connor is more bullish on Britain than he is on America stick around to the end of the show.
