In 'What Is a Woman?', Matt Walsh embarks on a journey to answer a question that has become increasingly controversial. He interviews various experts, including doctors, therapists, psychiatrists, and politicians, only to find that none can definitively define what a woman is. The book delves into the shocking and horrifying roots of radical gender ideology, how activists are influencing children, and reveals a strategy to counter the prevailing gender ideology. Walsh's approach is often comical yet deeply disturbing, highlighting the logical and evidential gaps in modern gender theories.

Jordan B Peterson
In 'We Who Wrestle with God', Dr. Peterson delves into the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. He analyzes Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph, such as the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, the Tower of Babel, Abraham, and Moses. The book explores how these stories stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. It encourages readers to understand these narratives scientifically and spiritually, to become conscious of the structure of their souls and societies, and to see themselves and others in a new light.
In this powerful lecture from the We Who Wrestle With God tour, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson explores why stories aren't just entertainment—but the essential structure through which we perceive reality, aim toward meaning, and shape our lives. From biblical archetypes to everyday struggles, Peterson weaves a compelling argument that our suffering, identity, and moral choices are all governed by the stories we believe and the sacrifices we're willing to make. Drawing on deep psychological insight and ancient wisdom, he reveals that without a unifying aim, we drift toward bitterness and chaos—but with the right sacrifice, we forge a path toward meaning, community, and spiritual alignment.
This “We Who Wrestle With God” tour stop was filmed in Reading, PA on October 14th, 2024.
