Contra Mundum

Recently bad actors online have trotted out the phrase "the woke right" to characterize paleoconservatives and the postliberal right as the mirror image of the very worst of the left. Why is this terminology so stupid? What is going on with these rhetorical games? We discuss with renowned author and Claremont Senior Fellow, Jeremy Carl.

The narrative of Daniel in the lion's den, while famous as a Sunday School tale, holds profound theological significance within the Book of Daniel. It encapsulates themes of death and resurrection, not only pertaining to Daniel but also symbolizing the broader experience of God's people under foreign rule. When Darius ascends as ruler of the oikoumene, he appoints satraps to govern his provinces,...

Have you ever stopped to think about how America has a holiday that sets aside a day to explicitly offer thanks to God for His many blessings to us? One that draws upon the history and heritage of our founding? Thanksgiving, more than any other American holiday, is THE holiday that celebrates our Christian heritage and our original founding.

We do not live in a materialist world, where we are merely atoms and molecules, particles and waves. The world that God has made is not just stuff. There is a world beyond what our eyes can see, and that is a world He has described in His Word. Far too many Christians reared in this materialist world end up as functional Deists. But we are Christians, not Deists. God is active, even supernaturally...

What exactly is an American? Does existing on Magic Dirt make someone an American? Or do you have to be born to or become part of a particular people? Is Christian faith alone a sufficient basis for civil order or is more required? We discuss all this and more with Mr. Auron MacIntyre.

The narrative in Daniel 5 portrays the end of the Babylonian Empire through the lens of a divine judgment. King Belshazzar, amidst a Persian siege, hosts a feast not out of despair but in a desperate, hopeful appeal to multiple gods, including the God of Israel, by using sacred vessels from Jerusalem's temple. This act of syncretism is seen as a counterfeit sacrament, challenging the true God amid...

Donald Trump has begun selecting his cabinet. Matt Gaetz as AG Pete Hegseth as SecDef RFKjr at HHS Tom Homan as Border Czar Rubio as Secretary of State Could any of these picks be any better? Is He going to drain the swamp?

In the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, is tested by God through dreams and trials to recognize His sovereignty. Initially, he acknowledges God due to divine interventions like the miraculous survival of Daniel's friends from a fiery furnace, but his faith remains superficial. God sends a second dream of a great tree being cut down to a stump, symbolizing Nebuchadnezzar's pri...

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego’s refusal to bow down to the golden image and willingness to burn in the fiery furnace is the 21st Century Christian’s refusal to bow down to the gods of ‘Our Democracy.’

Many people have heard those in the online right use the phrase "Post-War Consensus" as a sort of shorthand for cultural and political narrative surrounding contemporary liberal ideas. Dr. Paul Gottfried joins us today to define precisely what it is (and what it is NOT), discuss the history behind it, whether or not the post-war consensus is collapsing and, if so, what will the future look like?

The book of Daniel intertwines themes of God's sovereignty over earthly empires with his time's spiritual and political dynamics, focusing on God's revelation through dreams and visions to assert His ultimate control over history. Nebuchadnezzar, confronted by his own dreams, finds his pagan magicians powerless to interpret, leading to a decree of death. Through divine intervention, Daniel interpr...

The politics that Big Eva pushes upon American evangelicals is a disaster for our country. Recently one of the biggest figures in Big Eva, Matt Chandler, preached a sermon on politics. We invited Stephen Wolfe to join us in breaking down just how awful the ideas and thinking in this sermon are, and to give an alternative vision for conservative evangelical political thought.

Is the Bible patriarchal? Does feminism reject the fundamental realities of the Christian faith? Today we discuss the church, feminism, masculinity, and all things related with the author of Masculine Christianity and Honor Thy Fathers, Zachary Garris.

 The passage outlines how Daniel and his friends, taken captive to Babylon, represent God's people amidst spiritual warfare against pagan gods. Despite being culturally assimilated through renaming and possible emasculation, Daniel resolves not to defile himself with the king's food, symbolizing a refusal to fully submit to Babylon's ways. Miraculously, God blesses their faithfulness with health...

Very special episode with the translators of Renaud Camus' Enemy of the Disaster. If you are unfamiliar with this very controversial thinker, he is the originator of the concept of "The Great [Exchange-of-One-Thing-for-Another].

The revolution against our way of life does not want you to celebrate many of the greatest Americans who ever lived. Today we will discuss a list of great Americans you should be proud of if you are a Heritage American.

The Washingtong Regime has just announced that they have given permission to the Zelenskyyyy One-Party Government to begin using long-range missiles to attack Russia. This will be the most significant escalation in the war to date. Will Russia respond by attacking NATO countries? Are they trying to start World War Three? How does it relate to the political situation in the US? Is this the plan to...

As leftwing cities and states become ever worse, and GOP states become a cultural, political, and economic haven, more and more people are leaving to be in environments that fit their way of life (or way of anti-life). Will this phenomenon continue to increase? And if it does, will it lead to the breakdown and destruction of the United States? SPONSORS: squirrellyjoes.com/contra ionlayer.com (prom...

Current political discourse has revealed that evangelicalism is a mess. Evangelical leaders are either completely tools of the Regime OR are too steeped in pietism to seriously confront the issues before us. The laity is divided and pulled in multiple different directions. What does this mean for the future?

President Trump's recent post on Truth Social about "supporting women's reproductive rights" has set off further debate about whether prolifers can support him in good conscience. A Special Guest fills in for CJay who is still in the process of moving to Tennessee. Maybe it is Beyonce or Taylor Swift?

David French has endorsed Kamala. Russell Moore has defended Tim Walz for his stolen valor lies. Are the Shepherds for Sale merely doing this for money or is there something else going on here? Chase Davis fills in for CJay (who is literally on the road in the moving truck). We discuss all this and more.
