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 Christia...

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—n...

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-combatan...

Yesterday, a white mother found herself at the center of a firestorm when she told off a black child after he attempted to steal items from her purse. To put it plainly, she called him the N-word and when confronted by a TikTokker who happened to be nearby, she doubled down. The video went viral and within hours, Shiloh’s home address, social security number, school, and family were leaked to the...

Last year, South Korea hit a record fertility rate of just 0.72 — the lowest ever recorded in the world. Meanwhile, in the U.S., for the first time in history, women over 40 are having more children than teenagers. Global population growth isn’t just slowing; in some places, it’s collapsing. And no one seems to know how to stop it. From Beijing to Budapest to Boston, birth rates are in freefall. G...

No one is coming to save you. It’s time to begin thinking about our current war as a struggle that could last a generation or longer. Like trench warfare in WWII, sometimes progress looks like advancing mere feet forward and battling for months over a single strategic objective. We have fights to win politically, culturally, personally, and ecclesiastically, and none of them will be easy. When it...

There is no sign that Matthew was searching for Jesus or intending to follow him. Therefore, Jesus called Matthew first, only then did Matthew choose to follow Him. No one chooses Christ; he chooses us. When Jesus said, 'Follow me,' his words carried the same divine power that healed the paralyzed man when Jesus told him, ‘Get up and walk.' Christ is the Author of salvation, and his Wo...

Tune into the first panel of our 2025 Right Response Conference with Deace, Wolfe, Robinson, MacIntyre, Harris, and Webbon.

There are a lot of debates going on in the Christian world right now. Many of these, whether about politics, culture, or even doctrine, seem to spiral out of control because people are talking past each other. Often, the problem isn’t the facts; it’s the categories. When we confuse what belongs to the individual versus the group, the gospel versus ethics, or the church versus the state, we end up...

We are witnessing the birth of a new priesthood. They wear cardigans instead of cassocks, quote Brené Brown instead of the Bible, and dispense diagnoses in place of absolution. And for millions of Americans, they’ve become the final authority on the soul. In just one generation, we’ve gone from 'God save a wretch like me' to 'my therapist says.' The modern language of self-care and self-love have...

This morning, Pope Francis, the 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, died. Francis was the first Pope from the Society of the Jesuits and the first that was born outside of Europe since the 8th century. Since being elected in 2013, his time as Pope was marked by a strong humanitarian agenda, with an emphasis on climate change, opposition to the death penalty, advocacy for decriminalization of...

Dying for your country has always been considered honorable. But what if “your country” sends you to die—not to defend your hometown—but to keep shipping lanes open for multinational corporations in the Red Sea? Many Christians still see military service as a badge of patriotism, a way to protect home and uphold duty. And with Pete Hegseth now scrubbing the ranks of DEI policies, removing rainbow...

“Time memorialize place. Embodied memory in places generates a connection between the past, present, and future. Our activity with loved ones elevates sites to place of intergenerational love such that through them we experience these places as deposits of familial affection. A trace of love remains.” – Stephen Wolfe, *The Case for Christian Nationalism*, from the chapter “Loving Your Nation.” In...

Last year we did an entire livestream on how the Biden administration chose to celebrate Easter, most notably by declaring March 31, Easter, as Transgender Day of Visibility. It was the inauguration of a new religion, but one that in God’s grace appears to have been short lived. A mere year later, with Trump in the office, we got a robust, theological celebration of Easter from the highest office...

Nine days ago in Frisco Texas an altercation at a track meet shocked the nation. Austin Metcalf was a promising track and field athlete attending a championship competition when he got into a brief altercation with another athlete, Karmelo Anthony, over a tent. According to witnesses, in a matter of moments after the disagreement started, Karmelo took out a knife from his bag and stabbed Austin Me...

Before the income tax was ratified in 1913, the U.S. government funded itself the old-fashioned way - almost entirely through tariffs. For over a century, duties on foreign goods weren’t a last resort—they were the default. Now, in a global economy where everything from lettuce to lithium is imported, the word "tariff" triggers panic in boardrooms and headlines across cable news. And thi...

In case you missed it - enjoy this replay from a previous episode. We will be back live this Wednesday, April 9th at 3PM CT.War. Disease. Famine. Worship. Prosperity. Technology. Diet. Exercise. All of these things fundamentally affect who we are, as individuals and as groups. But it affects more than psychology or experience. It affects us at a genetic level and the impact of these events and pat...

What if I told you that most modern Christians have completely missed one of God’s most foundational purposes for mankind? Not just missed it—forgotten it, ignored it, and in many cases, even denied it. We’re not talking about something minor here. We’re talking about why God created the world in the first place, what He expects humanity to do with it, and—crucially—how He intends for us to do it....

It has been observed that in the realm of politics, decades can pass without significant change. The status quo remains unchallenged, and things continue as if they always will. However, in a matter of mere weeks, a condensed decade’s worth of political upheaval can quickly transform everything, paving the way for new players, institutions, and a new future. Such is the case with the influential “...

Much credit is given to Constantine for his role in calling together the church at Nicea and helping facilitate the foundational creed of the Christian church. But did you know that a mere 10 years later in 335, at the council of Tyre, Constantine exiled one of the fiercest defenders of the faith at the time: Athanasius? Athanasius remained in exile until Constantine’s death, and was only welcomed...

For nearly 140 years, she has stood in New York Harbor, torch held high, a symbol of freedom and hope. But last week, a French politician made headlines by saying they want her back. "Give us back the Statue of Liberty," Raphaël Glucksmann declared, arguing that America has abandoned the values she used to represent. He even quoted the famous poem inscribed at her base: "Give me you...
