Theology Applied

Hopefully in the last couple of weeks you heard about the controversial Colorado bill that aimed to make misgendering someone a crime. The bill met fierce resistance from local pastors and Christian leaders, but ultimately was signed into law by the governor about a week ago. Even though it was stripped of its most controversial portion, a clause that would have categorized parents as abusive for misgendering their children, the law is still one of the most aggressive in the land.The woke isn’t going away. Progressives have bet the house on radical gender ideology and are committed to making the lives of ordinary Christian families hell for as long as they can. Other Colorado bills such as House Bill 1309 mandate that health care providers cover every possible necessity for gender affirming care, a set of surgeries and treatments that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per person. One way or another, they will try to take your kids, close your business, and bankrupt your state, even if they lose in the end.So today we’re going to discuss who is pushing these draconian laws, what their real purpose is, and the clever ways Christians are fighting back.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Auron MacIntyre, a political theorist and elite theory expert, discusses the profound impact of elite governance on democratic societies. He shares insights from his Southern Baptist upbringing while criticizing the manipulation of public perception by elites. MacIntyre addresses the limitations of the Constitution and the importance of active civic participation. He warns about rising bureaucratic structures diluting personal autonomy and advocates for reviving Christian values to counter secular influences in a globalized world.

Christians across the country have watched the early months of Trump’s return to power with cautious patience—wondering, even praying, for signs that real change was coming. Now, those signs may finally be emerging. Not in fanfare, but in force.After months of what seemed like political stagnation and institutional gridlock, the tide may be beginning to turn. In Riyadh, President Trump delivered a foreign policy message grounded not in idealism, but in clarity—“It is God’s job to sit in judgment… My job is to defend America.” That message came alongside a pair of massive economic deals with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, totaling hundreds of billions of dollars and potentially supporting over a million U.S. jobs.Domestically, the ground is shifting as well. A Wisconsin judge—long seen as a symbol of progressive judicial activism—has been federally indicted. And in a ruling few expected, a federal court has upheld Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of violent foreign gangs. The legal system, long weaponized against the Right, is starting to show signs of something unfamiliar: equilibrium.And then there’s RFK. No, not a defector—still a liberal in many ways—but one willing to tear into the bureaucratic rot inside the NIH. For Christians, his calls for transparency in the halls of scientific authority echo a deeper longing: that the light would expose the darkness.For those who have waited—and prayed—for the return of order, for justice with teeth, and for leaders willing to defend the good, these are not random events. They are early signs. Slow signs. But real ones. What we are witnessing may be the beginning of a providential reordering—not perfect, not messianic, but unmistakable.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Dive into the intricate relationship between Judaism and Christianity, illuminating the Talmud's teachings and historical significance. Discover how rabbinic traditions evolved over centuries, shaping perceptions of faith and law. Explore the nuances of the Old Testament versus Talmudic beliefs, and see how these differences impact contemporary Jewish identity and Christian grace. Engaging discussions reveal the complex intersections of both faiths and challenge common misconceptions, making for a thought-provoking exploration of religious foundations.

The discussion dives into the shifting dynamics of U.S.-Israel relations, highlighting a potential rift between Trump and Netanyahu. It addresses the generational decline in support for Israel and critiques traditional alliances, questioning their alignment with America First principles. The complexities of discussing the Israel-Palestine issue without escalating tensions are explored, alongside reflections on identity and national loyalty. The conversation touches on how these factors impact broader social movements and the evolving landscape of American patriotism.

Eric Conn, a dynamic speaker at the Right Response Conference, delves into the provocative concept of the 'Longhouse,' symbolizing the societal impact of female dominance and feminist ideals. He discusses how these shifts affect family dynamics and institutions like education, advocating for a return to traditional values. The conversation highlights the importance of supportive male communities and the need for men to confront their roles in society. Conn also critiques the conservative movement's contradictions, urging listeners to challenge cultural norms.

They didn’t wait for Washington to fix it.When the Puritans landed in New England, they weren’t petitioning Parliament. They were planting churches, building schools, raising crops, and electing elders. When Christian settlers carved towns out of the American frontier, they didn’t wait for cultural permission—they brought the Book, the rifle, and the plow, and they built.Today, too many Christians are still acting like tenants in someone else’s crumbling house—debating how to rearrange the furniture while the foundation splits in half.But the New Christian Right is done waiting.We’re not trying to tweak the machine—we’re walking away from it. We’re not asking what can be salvaged from D.C.—we’re asking what can be secured in our own counties, our own churches, our own homes. We're not retreating. We're fortifying.It’s time to build Christian boroughs: worship-centered, economically linked, family-led, law-respecting communities that can survive the collapse and seed the next Christendom.If that sounds too ambitious, remember this: the future doesn’t belong to the most powerful. It belongs to the most planted.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Matt Walsh says mutilating children is evil. Jack Posobiec calls for Christian men to build families, lead their communities, and defend their nation. Thousands of young conservatives are rejecting drag culture, open borders, and the death spiral of liberal democracy.And now they’re being called “woke.”James Lindsay, once a co-belligerent against the excesses of the left, is sounding the alarm—not against Antifa or CRT, but against the right itself. In his eyes, anyone who speaks in terms of collective identity, national destiny, or religious authority has gone off the rails. He’s adopted the phrase “woke right” to describe them.But let’s be clear: these men aren’t dressing up Marxist categories in red, white, and blue. They’re not crying victim. They’re not co-opting oppression narratives. They’re rejecting a hollow system that tells Christians to keep quiet, keep their faith private, and keep the public square morally sterile.The people being called “woke right” are those saying enough is enough. They’re done pretending that drag queen story hour is a constitutional blessing. They’re done pretending that open borders are a civic virtue. And they’re done pretending that America can survive without a spine—or a soul.James Lindsay wants a right that fights the left, but only within the boundaries of Enlightenment liberalism: secular, individualistic, and morally neutral. But those boundaries are exactly what led us here. And now, the people trying to build something rooted, biblical, and bold are being smeared as radicals.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

First generation warfare is fought with sticks and stones. Brute force, kinetic damage, and show of force. Second and third generation warfare is fought with attrition, logistics, blitzkrieg, and disruption. In Afghanistan and Iraq we fought fourth generation warfare: insurgency, terrorism, and psychological operations. With each successive generation, the lines between combatants and non-combatants blur, direct attrition becomes rarer, and tricks of deception and misdirection become all the more important.Today, we are in a 5th generation war: a war of information. Cybernetic tools such as AI, analytics, and information systems manipulate narratives, public perception, and sow discord. The line between the real and the artificial blurs, and entire battles are won without kinetic force. Information is the new oil, and the battlefield is everywhere and anywhere.Imagine if you viewed the ascendant right—from mainstream figures like Auron MacIntyre and Candace Owens to the outskirts like Nick Fuentes and Dan Bilzerian—as an existential threat to your democratic project. You need to get ahead of it, fast. But the censorship you enjoyed during COVID is pretty much done thanks to Elon Musk, and their narratives and cause are picking up steam.You could attempt to run containment manually and hire thousands of agents to identify threats and shut them down. But if the IRS’s track record is any indication, it's a tough job—even hunting down unpaid taxes—with a $14 billion budget and 33 district offices. You need something better, faster, and more discrete.If we are in the 5th generation warfare, how about a private company focused on deep analytics and intelligence augmentation? And say this company had existing contracts with the CIA, DHS, NSA, the FBI, and a dozen other government agencies going back over a decade? And all the better if this company was founded by an ostensibly right-wing billionaire who personally bankrolled high-profile politicians now ascending into the highest positions in the land?None of this is hypothetical. The company I’m describing is Palantir, named for the seeing stone in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. It was founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal. Thiel made JD Vance a household name through mentorship, his short venture capital career, and over $15 million invested in his Senate campaign. Thiel no longer runs Palantir. Instead, eccentric co-founder & CEO Alex Karp has turned it into a deadly tool in the Middle East and Europe for antiterrorism efforts. Palantir uses massive amounts of data to find pre-crime via patterns, surveillance, and artificial intelligence.Today we are diving into this all-important relationship between JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Ohio Governor hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, and the MAGA coalition. Can we still trust the plan?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.
