The World is On Fire Because Weak Men Rule w/Todd Erzen
Men love to fight and use their passions to slay dragons, but sadly in today's day and age we are surrounded by men whose passions have been subverted by fake battles such as video games, internet drama, and even sports. On this episode of Forge and Anvil we will talk all about the importance of strong men in the public square. Specifically, strong men with God honoring convictions. We will also discuss how the weak men that rule us are to blame for so much of the issues we face today.

Laughter is the Only Thing That Will Keep You SANE in 2024 w/Wade Stotts
Welcome to 2024 boys! We just left behind a boring year filled with nothing but historic political persecution, satan statues being demolished, nations raging against other nations, and a growing chance of world war three breaking out. So, you know, nothing out of the ordinary. 2024 is here and it's gonna be wild, especially since it's a presidential election year. The last one of those was filled with riots, looting, mass hysteria, plagues, masking, and Scrooge Mcduck levels of government spending, so buckle up. On this episode of Forge and Anvil we will be giving our predictions on what to expect in the new year.

Is Libertarianism Compatible with Christianity? w/Clint Russell and Will Spencer
Much like our vice president, I love venn diagrams. ya know, where you've got the two or three circles with the overlap? I just love em, i do. On this episode of Forge and Anvil I will get to put use my enjoyment of Venn Diagrams as we explore the overlap between the political ideology of libertarianism and the Christian faith. How much overlap do these world views have? Are Christianity and Libertarianism even compatible? Tonight I will be joined by Clint Russel of Liberty Lockdown, We Are Change, and Timcast fame as well as Will Spencer of the Renaissance of Men to explore these exact questions. The goal for this episode is not to alienate Christian libertarians or Non-Christian libertarians, but instead my hope is we can find clarity in our discussion so we can unite in as many areas as we can. Likewise, my hope is that we can avoid fighting over where we differ when possible in order to defeat the current state religion of wokeness we find ourselves living under today.

How Postmillennialism Destroyed a Church Plant w/Joshua Haymes
For many decades premillennialism has been the dominate viewpoint among American Christians when it comes to Eschatology. Yet in recent years the Postmillennial viewpoint has been growing in popularity and many churches are finding themselves shifting how they view their role in bringing about God's Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven. However, not all churches are able to survive such a drastic shift in theology. Today we will discuss how postmillennialism destroyed a church plant and caused its members to uproot from the city of origin. If you've ever considered starting a church plant or are hoping to join one, we hope today's conversation will challenge you to avoid a "kamikaze" strategy and instead will cause you took think deeper about how you can implement the great commission in your neighborhood.
