That Good Fight: A Reformation for Gentlemen

In this one Aaron and Nathan introduce the third gent to the table... Tom Chaldecott. We talk about things like Gospel minimalism, how business & engineering fits into the kingdom of God, and why men who confront problems (rather than avoid them) usually don't get on too well in evangelical churches post-COVID. Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might Defy the devil and act like...

Western masculinity is in crisis, and the modern Church is part of the problem. Rather than proclaiming ‘muscular Christianity’ the Church has often effeminised men and joined the feminist chorus lambasting manly virtues as “toxic masculinity”.   Why has the Church been so reluctant to call men to “act like men” (1Cor. 16:13)?

Refusing to be salt and light in the world w...

Whilst some see the Reformation as sacred and the Reformers almost like venerated saints, others see it as a heresy that undermined the Church and introduced liberalism. But how can we think about ap...

What is an "evangelical" and why should we care? Here's some of what we got into: Emerging Church apostates Exvangelical deconstruction TGC-centredness Compromise & cowardice Defence, offence, proclamation Given the increasingly broad amount of people who now use that term, should we ditch it altogether? Aaron and Nathan talk through some of their own story as evangelicals over the last t...
