That Good Fight: A Reformation for Gentlemen

How can Christians from different church traditions be united? As conservative Christians begin to connect across the wbreadth of the Church in the culture war for the reclamation of the value of Christendom in the secular West, where should the boundaries lie for such unity? If ecumenical ventures were previously the domain of liberals seeking a lowest common denominator, what would a higher-bar...

Is Christianity inherently conservative? Why does modern theology tend towards a "progressive" trajectory? Why are Roman Catholic authors often better at articulating conservative principles for morality and culture than Protestants? Why has evangelical theology often failed to prepare the Church for the subtle invasions of secular liberalism? Why are conservative institutions often so incapable o...

Why have so many evangelicals been "red-pilled" over the last decade? What lies behind the failure of evangelical church engagement with culture? What is it about Northern Irish culture that helped it resist many secular liberal advances far longer than the rest of Britain? How might politically active evangelicals learn from the example of the often demonised Presbyterian pastor and Prime Ministe...

The launch of Restore Britain catalysed a wave of patriotic fervour across the nation. For many, this felt different to the launch of other political movements in recent decades. Why are people joining Restore who never previously cared about politics and what does this suggest about the true depth of what has gone wrong in Britain and the yearning for a deeper solution? Aaron and Nathan reflect o...

Why did European Christendom collapse? What went wrong with the west? Where and when did it start going wrong? How you answer these questions will determine what you are willing to do about it. For many, the answer is Christian Nationalism. But how will this look in Britain compared with the US based on the cultural history and temperaments of these familial nations? In this comeback episode, Aaro...

Why are people now talking about Christian Nationalism in Britain? Why are the mainstream media and secular societies suddenly coming out in force to discredit it? And why do so many established church leaders agree more with the secularists than the Christians? How did the Church become so politically impotent to speak into nationalistic concerns? What does it mean to be a nation and to seek to p...

While many evangelical churches call themselves "conservative", the reality on the ground is often very different, especially when it comes to challenging front-line issues which might offend the closet feminists in their midst. This is one reason why evangelical churches and leaders struggle to talk about obvious Biblical moral issues like abortion at just the time they should. In this episode, A...

What's gone wrong with modern evangelical churches? Why are they so feminised? Why do the men no longer know how to act like men? Why are "Bible-believing" churches often so reticent to apply Bible passages that challenge the way they do (or don't do) things? If evangelical churches are "Gospel people," why have they often been so quick to capitulate to social or state pressure to stop meeting and...

What does it really mean to be a reformer in the Church? Many evangelicals laud the legacy of the Protestant reformation whilst holding very tightly to particular traditions and practices within their churches which can, over time, drift further and further away from Biblical norms. Those who seek to recover them usually end up causing trouble, one way or another. In this special episode of That G...

In this special episode of That Good Fight, Aaron talks to author, pastor, writer, and property developer, CR Wiley. Beginning with some of Wiley's own testimony, they discuss a whole range of topics, including masculinity, pietism, the working class, liberalism, and the emotional affectation of evangelical pastors. They also discuss the significance of households in the mission of the Church and...

What happened to the England we once knew and loved? How did it come about that the raising of the flag of the Cross of St. George is now seen as "controversial" in England? Why do so few Christians care about their people, place, and culture anymore? Why are Roger Scruton's reflections on "the forbidding of England" so poignant and timely despite being written a quarter of a century ago? How can...

What will it take to truly reach Britain for Christ? In this special episode, Aaron sat down with Bob of Speaker's Corner to talk about the need for the Church to wake up to the front line issues all around them, challenging the soft effeminacy of the Church, and recovering the need for a more outward and front-footed "muscular" Christianity, as we've seen in varioius ages of the Church. Such an a...

The recent parliamentary votes on abortion up to birth and assisted suicide suggest a deep erosion of British morality and identity. How could such bills represent the moral compass of a nation with historic Christian foundations? Aaron and Nathan wonder aloud how bad would things have to get before our present democratic constitutional monarchy could be called into question? What is the cost of t...

One of the problems in recent evangelical institutions has been following the trends of secular culture. This can happen overtly, as with the effects of BLM and Covid in 2020. But it can also happen with the remnants of liberal thinking even among otherwise conservative leaders. In recent times, the term "Woke Right" has been used even by Christians as a stick to beat the new social "deplorables"...

Over the last half-decade, many Christian men have become more frustrated with the compromises in their churches, the inadequate theology they’ve inherited, and the general decay of their society. As such, many have taken the “red pill” to disbelieve much of what they’ve been told was true, opening the window to previously “forbidden” convictions in numerous fie...

In another special episode, Aaron speaks with the controversial Fr. Calvin Robinson. They talk about Robinson's journey through different branches of the church, including his time swimming against the tide even at GB News, his move from the Church of England to Old Catholicism, and the effects of his very public profile on his pastoral ministry. Aaron and Robinson also talk about the challenges o...

In this special episode of That Good Fight, Aaron talks with controversial US pastor, Joel Webbon. They discuss Joel’s church journey from Vineyard to Acts 29 to his current church, the compromises he observed within mainstream evangelicalism, his shift towards cessationism and patriarchy, and the various controversies in which he has been involved more recently, including various reactions...

The automatic socio-political posture of British evangelicals within the last several decades has been to drift further and further Left. There is often very little awareness that their political assumptions are out of sync with many Christians before their time. The default position of many leaders is often to reject any views, practices, or people who have been deemed “too Right Wing&rdquo...

What kind of leadership changes cultures for good? President Trump's first week in office included all sorts of executive orders which go against the grain of the cultural tide of previous decades. To many observers, much of this seems like the kind of common sense decision-making we've not seen in some time. Yet for others (including many Christians on our side of the pond) such actions only furt...

Why is Christmas still the high point of the secular calendar year? Why does it remain so embedded within the cultural imagination? Perhaps because Christmas is the clearest public manifestation of "Christendom" that there ever was.   What is at stake when the Christianity of Christmas is gradually minimised? Is it something worth fighting for? With secularism and Islam encroaching in the Wes...

One of the paradoxes of evangelical history is the tension between cultural excellence and religious piety. We have often been suspicious of aesthetic excellence, opting instead for simplicity and heart-level devotional experience. Why does Scripture instruct us to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs? Does God care about how melodic the music is, or are such concerns an inevitable heart distra...

For decades, western Christians have sought to build bridges to the socio-political Left. They have sought to understand where such people are coming from and to “engage” with them, even where their beliefs have been sub-Christian. Yet this approach is not applied to men on the socio-political Right. Is this because they fear association with social deplorables? How should Christians r...

Donald Trump winning the American presidential election for a second time appears to be yet another pivotal moment in western civilisation today. How should Christians interpret it? How have evangelicals changed their views of Trump over the last decade, and why are British people often so repulsed by him? What do the reactions to Trump tell us about the extent to which people are fed up of Leftis...

How does the way our churches run their meetings disciple us over time? Are there some styles or forms of a worship service which produce certain effects over time? Why, for example, is choral evensong so beautiful and yet (in the UK at least) often populated by so few faith-filled people, and led by so many faithless people? Is band-led singing a "better" form than high Church liturgy? What do yo...

In this episode we talk about the impact of multiculturalism on British (and western) culture; the rise of globalism; The Strange Death of Europe, and the mission of the Church. Too few Christians today are aware of the societal disruption caused when the liberal ideology of multiculturalism is imposed on a culture with the assumption that contradictory worldviews can harmonise (whilst eroding the...
