Alex Stewart of Premier Body Armor: Family, Faith, and Building Legacy through Business

Send us a text!When you picture a family business, do you think of bulletproof vests and ballistic protection? That's the unique world Alex Stewart of Premier Body Armor and I explored as we unraveled the company's journey from a small metal shop to the forefront of personal armor. Our conversation took us through the transformation of protective gear, touching on the practicality of innovations like the everyday armor t-shirt bundle—a favorite of mine for its unobtrusive defense—and the clever inclusion of ballistic protection into everyday items like backpack inserts. Alex's insights reveal a commitment to safety that blends seamlessly with daily life, offering a sense of security without the bulk.Sign up for the New Christendom Press Conference in June 2024.Join the Patreon exclusive membership.10 Ways to Make Money with Your MAXX-D Trailer.Alpine Gold Exchange Website: alpinegoldogden.comSet Up a Meeting: https://calendly.com/alpinegold/alpine-gold-consultationTalk to Joe Garrisi about managing your wealth with Backwards Planning Financial.Sign up for Barbell Logic.Visit https://premierbodyarmor.com/hardmen and use promo code HARDMEN for 10% off your order.

The Patriarchy is Inevitable: Taylor Swift, Rush Limbaugh, & Father Rule

Send us a text!As the Taylor Swift X saga continues, it's interesting to note that her father, her producers, and the support staff around Taylor are largely comprised of—wait for it—men. In this episode, we'll unpack just how God has ordered the world and how patriarchy, like Thanos claimed about himself, is inevitable. Rush Limbaugh talked about girls softening their conservative fathers. The Daily Mail covered my tweet, which now has 22.5 million impressions. Newsweek also weighed in. As did the Washington Examiner, which said Taylor can save America. Support the show

Smashing Celebrity Idols: Taylor Swift, a Viral X Post, and Duties of Fatherhood

Send us a text!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 book, Her Hand in Marriage, and why fathers should continue to lead their young daughters in the household.

A Response to Kevin DeYoung and the 'Moscow Mood'

Send us a text!Who gets to define the boundaries of acceptable language in Christian circles? Why does the Christian community appear to be divided by the use of strong language? Join me and my co-host, Pastor Dan Burkholder as we tackle these thought-provoking questions. In this episode, we interrogate Kevin DeYoung's critique of the so-called 'Moscow mood,' as embodied by the outspoken Christian leader Doug Wilson. Delving into the discourse, we dissect DeYoung's arguments, offering our own insights, as well as Dr. Joe Rigney's insightful response article.Language, it turns out, is more than just words—it's a powerful tool that reflects and shapes our reality. In our conversation, we take a hard look at the use and reception of strong language in Christian circles, especially in relation to Doug Wilson's language choices. We couldn't help but wonder: Why the inconsistency in reactions to Wilson's words and those of others in Christian leadership? It's a fascinating discussion that you won't want to miss.But we don't stop there. We take on the thorny issue of division within Christianity and the role language plays in it. We explore the concept of evangelical softness and question whether prioritizing being 'nice' over boldly proclaiming the Gospel is a disservice to the faith. Finally, we touch upon the importance of credibility in discussions, urging the need to separate emotions from arguments. It's a substantial, thought-provoking discussion that challenges the status quo. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to open your eyes to the dynamics of Christian communities, language use, and the pursuit of truth.Sign up for Barbell Logic.Place your meat order with Salt & Strings.Visit PremierBodyArmor.com and use promo code HARDMEN for 10% off your order.
