The Rise of the Beta Male
Send us a text!Register for the 2023 New Christendom Press Conference here.From Hollywood to society at large, the beta male has become the stereotypical masculine ideal. But why? Why are men weaker than ever, smaller chested than ever, lacking muscle mass and grip strength, and increasingly overweight? Why do all the observable features of masculinity keep diminishing? Why are testosterone levels plummeting year over year? And finally, what are the long-term effects of weak, infertile, easily controllable men?Sign up for online coaching at Barbell LogicSupport the show

Send us a text!Register for the 2023 New Christendom Press Conference here.I talk about the life and legacy of King Alfred the Great. At the age of 22, Alfred led the people of Wessex to a shocking defeat of the Vikings. He was the last king on the isle not to bow to the Danes.

The Manliness of Christ with Dale Partridge
Send us a text!Register for the 2023 New Christendom Press Conference here.Masculinity is under attack in our highly feminized culture. In this episode, I talk with Dale Partridge about why that is. We also talk about his new book, The Manliness of Christ: How the Masculinity of Jesus Eradicates Effeminate Christianity, and the reality that Jesus wasn't soft, effeminate, or weak. Along the way, we'll talk about what you can do to inspire manly courage in your sons, and how seminary training often fails to produce manly virtues.

Wild Man Energy, Robert Bly, and Iron John
Send us a text!Register for the 2023 New Christendom Press Conference here.Every man has an ancient Wild Man within. The question is, how do you let him out of the cage? The truth is, feminism, statism, & safetyism have been cages for men to live with wild man, or king, energy. Men are coddled, overprotected, and taught to be risk averse. But is this always a good thing? The same feminists who hate men also cry, "Where are all the GOOD men?" "You neutered them," we respond. Against that backdrop, how do you find your golden, God-given gifts and put them to use? How do you find the wild within and set it free? It's all about that Wild Man Energy. We'll discuss this from Robert Bly's perspective in Iron John.Become a Patron today to support this show! The Myth of the Nice Guy, Hard Men Podcast episode. Support the show
