ED LATIMORE | How To Get Uncomfortable
Ed Latimore is a former heavyweight boxer, competitive chess player, physics degree holder, veteran of the US Army National Guard, recovered alcoholic, husband and new father, and the author of three books, including the upcoming "Hard Lessons From the Hurt Business.
He grew up in the hood, was flat broke by 27, and six years later he cracked 6-figures online, ironically, by tweeting about crack.
From deeply unfavorable conditions, from his early life onwards, Ed decided to take over and did.
For all these reasons and more, I honor Ed for the extraordinary man he is. By the end of this episode, after hearing his story, I hope you will too.
In our conversation we discussed:
Fatherhood and Questioning Evolution
His Upcoming Return to the the Ring
The Death of His Parents
Curiosity, Grit, Self-Discipline
Overcoming alcoholism
Arguments against Allyship
His new book, "Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business"

DR. DAVID EDGINGTON | The Abusive Wife
Dr. David Edgington is the author of the outstanding book "The Abusive Wife."
But he proposes that the term "abusive" isn't accurate. A biblical term is "reviling", which he says, “Entails using speech as a non-contact weapon against another person.”
Within the Christian church, pastors have overlooked this form of abuse of men in their rush to apologize for the past, continuing a trend that began long ago, succumbing to the idea that women are eternal victims and that every knee must bow to their feelings.
But David wrote his book 8 years ago. So today it's hard not to call Dr. Edgington just a little bit prophetic, and quite a bit more than heroic.
In our conversation David and I discussed:
His excellent book "The Abusive Wife"
How to Recognize a Reviled Husband
Wokeness and Christianity
Women and Their Anger
The Danger of the Secular Courts
How Abuse Can Sanctify Us
Why Women's Feelings Are NOT Sovereign.

JONATHAN RIOS | The Adventure of Faith
Jonathan Rios is a psychotherapist, outdoorsman, former Division 1 college athlete, and leader of men.
He's also a Christian, one of the most faithful and real men I know.
He holds his faith like a shield he carries in front of him, rather than a wall he hides behind. And he carries that shield into the lives and hearts of men crafting rites of passage for a generation of fatherless and under-fathered men.
He puts his faith in action. It's dynamic, alive, and real, fueled by a unique life of physical and professional accomplishment, experience, and travel.
This was a rare interview that, though it went for almost 4 hours, could have gone for much longer.
In our conversation we discussed:
His background and introduction to Christ
Paranormal Encounters in Ireland
Feeding the fire of faith
Surviving Slander
Why God Doesn't Care About Your Reputation
Christians and Childhood Trauma
Men and Honor Codes

BRANDON LANSDOWN | Taking Holiness Seriously
Brandon Lansdown is a husband and father, the pastor at Coram Deo Church in Springfield MO, the host of the Absolute Unit podcast, plus a general contractor, the founder of Reformation Coffee, and especially a humble and faithful man of God.
One testimony of that is how uncomfortable he'll probably be that I've said this about him, but he deserves it.
Not because he's a perfect man but because he's putting in the reps, taking risks, and walking the path that many men are and would like to be, including me.
In other words, he's leading by example, as an everyday man creating godly prosperity for his family and the Kingdom.
In our conversation we discussed:
Christian men and strength training
Families and modesty
Shepherding a flock
Masculine sanctification
The manly need for brotherhood
Building into Christendom
Enjoying coffee to the glory of God.

JOEL WEBBON | Winning Down Here
Pastor Joel Webbon is the Founder and CEO of Right Response Ministries, and the author of the new book “Fight By Flight.”
He's a FIGHTER, with a capital F. So, he's not everyone's cup of tea.
But last I checked, it isn't teatime. In the wise words of Pastor James White, today the enemies of Christendom want two things: your bloodstream and your offspring.
Maybe it's time to fight blade to blade. Scalpel to Sword of the Spirit. The Word of the State vs. the Word of God.
In our conversation we discussed:
Whether "We lose down here
The Only Promise of Postmillennialism
Why God Isn't Arbitrary
Hypocrisy, Authenticity, and Authority
Healthy Self-Doubt and Healthy Confidence
The Plague of Guilty Christian Men
His New Book “Fight by Flight.”

JARED LONGSHORE | Thinking In Covenants
Dr. Jared Longshore is the associate pastor at Christ Church in Moscow Idaho, a fellow of Theology at New St. Andrews College, and the author of “The Case for the Christian Family.”
I owe him a debt of gratitude. Because his new book is the introduction to the heart of paedo-baptism that I needed.
As I break from generations of Spencer family tradition, I'm asking how the story of redemptive history relates to me, to my kids, to their kids, and to households, communities, churches, and the nation.
"The Case for the Christian Family" helped me see that vision.
Jared and I discussed:
Christians and Covenant Thinking
The Power of American Revivalism
Baptist Individualism and Its Origins
The Corporate Identity of the Christian
Bringing Up Children in the Lord
Ice Cream, Nets & Fishes, and Circles of Light

ERIC CONN | Sex and The Church
Eric Conn is the host of The Hard Men Podcast, and the Kings Hall, and the CEO of New Christendom Press.
Recently he’s become a Twitter bomb thrower, launching scorching tweets that have gone nuclear viral for their controversial takes.
They reveal what gods cannot be questioned these days: The right for women to do, say, and wear whatever they want.
That’s why I wanted to have Eric on, because he speaks up about the idolatry of the feminine, professing the simple truth that women sin.
In our conversation we discussed:
Women's Sexual Power
Men and Women Discipled By Pornography
Why Pastors Are Men
Courage In Cultural Insanity
Christian Cultural and Political Theology
Why Courage is Contagious
The Generational Church Divide
Holding Women Accountable for their Sins

MATT REYNOLDS | Choose the Hard Things
Matt Reynolds is the founder and owner of Barbell Logic, an online strength-training coaching program and content empire.

That’s why he's the first guest of Reformation May: to set the stage, chart the course, show the way for my audience to begin taking their strength and fitness seriously.
Topics discussed:
Denominationalism in the Church
Why Twitter Isn't A Real Place

FEMININE NOT FEMINIST - LIVE! | The Great Reconciliation
Feminism succeeded in making men and women forget how to talk to each other, and instead taught us to talk past each other.
This process has been evolving since World War 2, when some of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers went to work in the factories, and decided (wrongly) that they don’t need men. That’s a lie from the pits of hell.
Women do need men, and the longer they pretend they don’t, the worse it’ll be for them. But men and women are being reborn in Christ, together, and learning how to speak to one another again.
This conversation between me and Anneliese from Feminine not Feminist is an example.
In our conversation we discussed:
The CS Lewis “Space Trilogy”
Alison Armstrong’s “The Queen’s Code”
Mom Culture and Resentment
Was Eve Controlling Adam?
Feminism and Black Lives Matter
The Power of Women’s Smile
Men, Women, and Forgiveness
Thanks to The Bottle & Bean in Chandler, Arizona.

SOVEREIGN BRAH | The Sword of the Spirit
RENAISSANCE OF MEN DOCUMENTARY OVERVIEW:
https://youtu.be/6RGDFEUoLpU
--
My guest this week is Chase aka SovereignBrah. You might not know his name, but you'll almost certainly recognize his face.
Last year he was anon, until he appeared on the Whatever podcast, where he spoke truth to a panel of girls about their life choices and went mega viral.
That led him onto Tim Pool's show, and on that show, Chase took a big risk, one of the biggest risks of all: preaching the Gospel to Tim and his audience of millions. That clip exploded.
For all the godly men wondering, "Who would I be if it were my turn on the stage?" I pray Chase provides you an example of who I think we'd all like to be, and work to become.
In our conversation we discussed:
Chase's background and ride to stardom
God humbling the proud
Physical strength and spiritual strength
The Alpha Male vs. Incel False Dichotomy
Righteous Ambition and Spiritual Warfare
Our testimonies, and Chase's story of his transformation in Christ
