GRACE AND THE RENAISSANCE EP.4 with Jonathan West
For a man, there's no blessing greater than that of a friend.
Yes of course, a wife, children, a home, and a successful career are important. But the value of friendship to men can't be overstated.
Which is why, for all its flaws, the men's movement has had one unmistakably positive impact: to wake men up to the necessity of brotherhood.
Which is why I'm grateful for this podcast series with my friend, Jonathan West.
This guy means a lot to me, and to say more about that would only take away from the importance of that sentiment.
As I've grown in my faith, Jonathan has become a father and small business owner, and the race war in America has died down, at least for now, we've started talking about a broader range of topics, not just race.
So we decided to change the title to reflect that change: Grace and The Renaissance.
In our conversation we discussed:
Ancient aliens and Angelology
The red pill and materialism
Post-Mil vs. Pre-Mil Philosophy
What it means to have an unaskable questions
God as the great author
The founding of his new small business, Suburban Farm Guy

If you feel a call unheeded in your life, I understand. I was once the same. I would have waited forever for life to come to me, but instead I made the choice to live.
I made that choice in the company of men.

ANNELIESE aka FEMININE NOT FEMINIST | Breaking the Curse
Anneliese is a wife, mother, podcast host, and the brilliant voice behind one of the most confident and outspoken Christian values-based accounts I follow, Feminine Not Feminist.
Her Instagram page has grown to more than 140,000 followers in just two years.
Her success proves that feminism is failing, and that women are ready for a new way forward, The Great Reconciliation.
But that doesn't mean the hurdles to get there are over. Because everything in our culture incentivizes women to disrespect and disregard men.
This is how feminism exploits an aspect of women's psyches that was first described, as far as I know, in a really good book.
Which is why Anneliese’s content and this podcast should challenge every woman listening to take a hard look at herself and her own soul.
In our conversation we discussed:
The history of Feminine Not Feminist
Some of her early challenges with marriage
How she found peace with being a woman
The deep roots of bitterness
The CS Lewis “Space Trilogy”
The human longing to be understood
And finally, how to change your husband ;)

PASTOR DAVID ENGELHARDT | A Wall and A Sword
David Engelhardt is a father, attorney, Turning Point USA board member, and the author of the new book "Good Kills: God, Good, and the Sword."
BUY "GOOD KILLS" HERE: https://amzn.to/3QQ3WSj
He's also the pastor of Kings’ Church in New York City, and if you can think of a tougher American city to be a pastor in, during a more challenging decade, I'd love to hear it.
That experience has forged him into one of the boldest, most outspoken preachers I've been blessed to encounter.
The word that comes to mind is "bellicose", which the Oxford Dictionary defines as "demonstrating aggression and willingness to fight."
And I hope you'd agree that we need much more of that fighting spirit in Christendom, for the times that are up ahead.
In our conversation we discussed:
An historical survey of fatherlessness
The horror of the destruction of the patriarchy
Why a man needs to tend his garden
Women, modesty and sensuality
The definition of a fool
Denominational battles within the church
And finally, the book of revelation and how it applies to postmillennialism.
As you’ll hear, Pastor David is a true fighter. And if you are too, or if you want to be, have I got the pastor for you.

DINO aka THE ART OF PURPOSE | Spiritual Dopamine
Dino, aka The Art of Purpose, is famous as the millionaire educator who’s turning Twitter into his personal art gallery. But he’s much more than that.
He’s also a husband, a new father, a former public school teacher, and a man who’s made success on Twitter possible for hundreds of students, including me.
In fact, the most important decision I ever made with regard to my relationship with social media was signing up for his programs.
Because social media is a big like a tidal wave that’s swamped the land masses of our lives.
Most people are living in the flood. But Dino can teach you how to swim.
In our conversation we discussed:
Dino’s background in the arts and music
How anxiety is THE weapon used against society today
The limitations of reactionary red pill culture
Why listening to classical music is like time traveling
Why Alex Jones is a psyop
How you get to play the game you decide to create
The differences between Instagram and Twitter, and his guidance on how to be successful on both platforms.
You know how they say, “If the product is free, you’re the product?”
It turns out two can play at that game.

Kahlil Gibran – ”Defeat” | POETRY FOR MEN
Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) is the author of the classic “The Prophet” and is bestselling American poet of the 20th century.
He’s honored in Arabic literature as one of the greats of their Romantic era. However, in America his critical reception has been much more mixed.
While the public loves his work, critics celebrate him far less than his contemporaries, such as Robert Frost.
But no one cares what elitist critics think. Beauty is a right, like air, water, and freedom of speech. Our tastes matter.
In this poem of paradoxes, Gibran discovers the joy in defeat, the flaws of victory, and his own potential for triumph, hiding in the unlikeliest of places.
May his masculine vision of the noble pursuit of purpose inspire us all.

ALEKS SVETSKI | Responsibility Go Up
Aleks Svetski is the co-author of the UnCommunist Manifesto, as well as the Founder of the Bitcoin Times and the mobile Bitcoin app Amber.
BUY THE UNCOMMUNIST MANIFESTO HERE:
https://amzn.to/3PXEqKq
https://www.uncommunist.com/
Aleks has become well-known in the Bitcoin space for his outspoken, direct, and aggressive defense of Bitcoin, making him a so-called "toxic maximalist.”
Because he understands how important Bitcoin is from a MORAL perspective.
And his new book "The UnCommunist Manifesto" is a rallying war cry for men and women to build a society on the back of a currency that cultivates us towards the good.
Yes, Number Go Up is good.
But Responsibility Go Up is better.
And Communism Go Down might be the best.
In our conversation we discussed:
His hard-knock upbringing and "Steve Jobs" moment
How Bitcoin is both an attractor and accelerant for personal growth
Time preference and morality
How savings is the cornerstone of civilization
Bitcoin's new RGU technology
Bushido, the Way of the Warrior
His new book, The UnCommunist Manifesto.
What if we stopped saying, "Money is the root of all evil." What if we could say in our hearts, "Money made us good."
That's the case that Aleks makes, so hope you'll hear him out.

KEN CURRY | Justice, Mercy, and Grace
Ken Curry is a marriage and family therapist in Colorado, as well as a men’s group leader, husband, father, grandfather, and author.
I also consider him an elder who’s made meaning out of his life experiences, turned victories and defeats to wisdom, and allowed struggle to teach him the meaning of joy.
Ken is also a Christian, a devout believer who incorporates faith into his broad and deep perspective, or perhaps his perspective is built around it.
Which makes him rare in the men's movement, Christianity, and as an American man of his generation.
If you've listened to my podcast before you might imagine I had high expectations for this episode. They were all exceeded, and you'll hear it.
In our conversation we discussed:
Masculine Presence and Voice
Becoming an internally referenced man
Sin, Justice, Grace, Mercy, Redemption, and Reconciliation
The definition of hell
The difference between what moves in us, and what is unmoved
The distorted message of Original Sin.
Some men will feel blessed by this conversation. Others will be challenged. A few might even be upset.
And to that I say, good. Because this is not your standard Manosphere dialogue.
But I believe this is where we're going, and more importantly this is where we need to go.

Jon Du Toit is a husband, father, and musician in the new band Electrum Fire.
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR "EXIT BABYLON" HERE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aYGUxMQX0U
But you may know Jon better from his work as a filmmaker.
He was the co-director of the Mike Cernovich documentary "Hoaxed" and has worked on projects with Stefan Molyneux, Lauren Southern, and InfoWars.
Jon is also Canadian. He saw dark clouds gathering for his country in 2020 and had to flee with his wife, children, and parents to Mexico, on the Yucatan peninsula.
Imagine what that might do to you as a man, having to leave your home country and almost everything you knew and loved.
Would you be able to adapt? Could you even make something beautiful out of it?
Jon had to answer these questions for himself. May we all learn something from his example.
In our conversation we discussed:
His history as a filmmaker
Networking and professionalism at the highest levels of world achievement, including with Jordan Peterson and more
Firearms idolatry, or how some men make their guns into gods
The limited usefulness of the Manosphere, and what might be coming next
His new musical project Electrum Fire
His experience moving to Mexico with his family, and his journey as a husband, father, and artist to rebuild.
I hope you'll join me in honoring Jon for his bravery and decisiveness in this conflict, and his courage to transform it into art

PASTOR TOBY SUMPTER | The Glory of Men
Toby Sumpter is a pastor, author, blogger, YouTube star, husband and father, and he articulates the why of beauty, strength, marriage and children, better than anyone I've heard.
Because what are beauty, strength, marriage, and children for? Have you ever thought about it?
I'd understand if not. We often have a sense that these things are intrinsically valuable, in themselves and for the purposes they serve.
But what is that purpose?
When I first encountered this question, the answer felt just out of reach. Then when I got it everything made sense, and I felt I could plant my feet in the blessing of Toby's answer.
In our conversation we discussed:
His history and background
The origin of the term “nuclear family"
The most valuable thing in the cosmos
The miraculous formula for joy
Real manliness in the home
What it means to choose the right sacrifice.
Pastor Toby has a knack of cutting to the heart of the matter about Christianity and culture, in a direct and inspiring way.
And in this episode, the last 30 minutes of this interview might be the most important 30 minutes of my podcast so far.

ERIC CARROLL | The Disaster of Family Court
Eric Carroll is a husband, father, and host of the Dad Talk Today podcast.
He’s also a leading national advocate to end dad deprivation and parental alienation, a consequence of the national divorce industry which is worth tens of billions of dollars annually.
This massive field is incentivized to wreck the American family through the American father.
And Eric’s outspoken approach, Southern drawl, and down-home attitude has helped become a well-recognized personality and advocate for fathers within national political circles in just three years, with hundreds of thousands of followers on Facebook and beyond.
In our conversation we discussed:
The political response (or non-response) to parental alienation of dads
The double standard of men's and women's emotions
Men's need for self-care, and what that looks like
The external and internal politics of the men's movement
Eric's personal story, and how he started DadTalkToday
And finally, his documentary about John Mast, who was murdered during a custody exchange, an all-too-common occurrence.
The war on masculinity now exists in the political realm, with real levers of power being brought to bear upon the American family, through the American man. These aren't easy or comfortable subjects to look at, but they are important ones.
And Eric Carroll is a man of profound courage and commitment for continuing to be a voice for dads.
