Jeremy Pryor's Podcast

The 2024 election was really a contest between the masculine and the feminine. Trump represents the hyper-masculine in a number of ways we'll get into in this podcast, whereas Kamala represented the hyper-feminine (perhaps not personally, but on a policy and partisan level). What are the impacts of a nation voting for symbolically masculine leadership and rejecting toxic empathy? Jeremy and Sydney dive into 3 reflections on this election as it related to family and gender danymics On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:55 Waiting to discuss certain things until after the election 1:52 Masculine Men + Feminine Women vs. Masculine Women + Feminine Men 8:28 Gender dynamics in the 2024 presidential election 18:39 Without a Royal Family, the Presidency becomes the symbolic ruling family 25:51 Should government be modelled after God's design for family? 39:53 A couple of things to be excited about after this election Subscribe on Substack ➡️ https://jeremypryor.substack.com Follow Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter.

Jeremy is joined by friends Phil Goodwin and Kyle to react to Fareed Zakaria's comments about the increasing secularization of culture, and the politicization of religion. Most of the conversation is spent tackling the tension between operating as a citizen of the United States AND a citizen of heaven. Where do you draw the line?
