In this conversation, he discusses his recent whirlwind of mainstream media appearances including CNN, The New York Times, and his conversation with Sam Harris.

Adam Coleman is a husband, father and author of The Children We Left Behind who speaks openly about fatherlessness, marriage and masculinity. In this conversation, Coleman exposes the growing problem of Christians In Name Only (CINOs), where people weaponize Christian rhetoric without living out the faith, driving seekers away from Christ. The discussion challenges victim ideologies in both feminism and the Manosphere, reveals why online dating creates resentment toward the opposite sex, and demonstrates what genuine biblical marriage actually looks like in practice.KEY TAKEAWAYS1. Victim ideologies render you helpless by blaming external forces instead of building internal strength2. Online dating's stranger-based format creates massive failure rates and opposite-sex resentment3. Christians In Name Only drive people from Christ through brow-beating and theological narcissism4. Biblical marriage requires the wife to trust her husband's leadership even through failures5. Show don't tell works better than preaching when advocating for marriage and family6.

Rob Ager is a film analyst who reveals Hollywood's deliberate destruction of classic cinema culture. In this conversation he exposes how modern filmmakers no longer care about making good movies but instead seek to destroy traditional storytelling and values. The episode explores how scientists in the 1960s sought God through AI and alien contact, paralleling themes in Kubrick's 2001. Ager also discusses how Hollywood accepts negative spirituality like demons while rejecting positive religious themes.KEY TAKEAWAYSModern filmmakers increasingly reject spiritual and narrative depth, aiming to dismantle classic cinematic conventions and heroes.Science fiction frequently reflects humanity's spiritual yearning, displacing God with AI, alien contact, or technological utopias.Many classic films used subtle spirituality, allowing viewers to interpret deeper meanings rather than providing explicit answers.Old movies encouraged audience engagement with ambiguity, while today's films often over-explain and avoid challenging mysteries.Social engineering in cinema is complex; propaganda can originate from both top-level institutions and individual creators' biases.Negative spirituality—demons, possession, dystopian technology—is widely accepted in film, while positive redemption stories often face skepticism.The destruction of traditional narratives and values on screen mirrors broader cultural attempts to erase inherited social frameworks.CONNECT WITH ROB AGERhttps://collativelearning.com
Melissa Dougherty is a Christian apologist with nearly 400,000 YouTube subscribers and over 18 million video views. In this conversation, she unpacks her groundbreaking book "Happy Lies" which exposes the New Thought movement—a spiritual philosophy most Christians have never heard of yet encounter constantly. Melissa reveals how this century-old movement has infiltrated American evangelicalism, progressive Christianity, and secular self-help culture while masquerading as biblical truth. Her personal journey from New Thought deception to authentic Christianity provides urgent warnings for believers navigating today's spiritually confused landscape.KEY TAKEAWAYSNew Thought disguises itself as Christianity while promoting self-deification and manifestation theologyMost Christians unknowingly encounter New Thought beliefs in churches, self-help books, and worship musicUnity churches exist in most cities yet few believers recognize them as New Thought centersThe "living your truth" movement has direct roots in transcendental and New Thought philosophyProgressive Christianity shares significant theological overlap with New Thought's rejection of biblical authorityTrue wholeness comes only through Christ's blood, not recognizing supposed divinity within yourselfCONNECT WITH MELISSAhttps://www.melissadougherty.co/https://www.instagram.com/melissaldougherty/https://www.facebook.com/NewAgeToChristianityBuy "Happy Lies" on AmazonMentioned in this episode:Anxiety, Depression, Anger: There's a Biblical Path to FreedomAre you struggling with anxiety, depression, or anger?

Nathan Spearing is a 13-year U.S. Army Special Operations veteran and founder of a tactical training facility in North Carolina. In this conversation he breaks down Pete Hegseth's explosive speech to military generals, shares his analysis of the Charlie Kirk assassination using construction modeling software, discusses the crisis of emotional masculinity in conspiracy theories, and calls for young Christian men to step up while older leaders step back. The episode tackles military standards, church hierarchy, submission, and why Christians need to pursue truth over conspiracy when tragedy strikes.KEY TAKEAWAYSPete Hegseth's military speech represents long-overdue return to merit-based standardsMilitary had become dangerously top-heavy with unfit general officersWomen in combat units fundamentally compromise male unit effectivenessConspiracy theories often stem from male emotional dysregulation, not evidenceYoung Christian men need meaningful responsibility, not busy workSubmission applies to men in church hierarchy, not just womenMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE"Principles of War" - Jim WilsonCONNECT WITH NATHANhttps://spearing.co🌟 The Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."

As a single father of seven running a seven-figure business for eight years, Tanner has completed a half Ironman, earned Jiu-Jitsu medals, and conquered Spartan races. In this conversation marking five years since his first appearance on the show, Tanner discusses sovereignty, the collapse of the manosphere, and why most men's approach to style undermines their masculinity.KEY TAKEAWAYSMost men wear a "uniform of apathy" that signals lack of sovereignty over their livesThe manosphere failed because it worshiped autonomy instead of healthy interdependence"Extegrity" means aligning who you are externally with who you are internallyGrowth gluttons pursue progress at expense of presence and meaningful relationshipsRomance maxing creates fulfilling life experiences instead of waiting for circumstances to changeTrue masculinity holds tension between competing values rather than choosing extremesCONNECT WITH TANNERhttps://masculine-style.com/https://x.com/tannerguzyThe Appearance of Power: https://a.co/d/eBl3Oph🌟 The Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."

Jason Mironchuck is the creator and host of Mironchuck Now, a channel devoted to challenging political and social narratives. Recently beginning his catechism in the Russian Orthodox Church, Jason has developed a prophetic framework called "The Vengeful Son" that predicts a coming wave of youth violence born from spiritual emptiness and systemic betrayal. This conversation explores how 250 years of liberal revolution has produced a generation of nihilistic young people primed for destruction, and why returning to Christ may be our only hope.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Vengeful Son represents angry youth discovering they've been systematically lied toTransgender youth on puberty blockers may become tomorrow's domestic terror cellsLiberal ideologies are Luciferian inversions of God's virtues that exalt passionsViolence feels good but young men lack moral brakes to know when to stopOrthodox prophecies predict children born with "dead souls" unable to pursue sainthoodThe church is a hospital where ideologies die and Christ enters the heartCONNECT WITH JASON MIRONCHUCKYouTube ChannelX/TwitterSupport Jason's ChannelMENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST"Nihilism" - Father Seraphim Rose"The Great Awakening vs. The Great Reset" - Alexander Dugan"Jesus and John Wayne" - Kristin Kobes Du Mez"The Christian Mind" - Harry Blamires"The Screwtape Letters" - C.S.

In this conversation, she shares her family's supernatural calling to flee Iran in 1988 and establish a missions organization from outside the country. The episode explores Iran's explosive underground church growth, with potentially 2-3 million Christians in a nation of 89 million, and the strategic preparation needed for Iran's anticipated freedom.KEY TAKEAWAYSIran may have fastest growing church globally with 19.6% growth rateTransform Iran operates in 19 countries supporting underground house churches78+ people groups in Iran need Bible translation beyond FarsiGovernment paranoia post-12 Day War has intensified Christian persecutionRevival concentrated in Farsi-speakers while ethnic minorities remain largely unreachedIran's geopolitical influence could transform Middle East if turned toward goodCONNECT WITH TRANSFORM IRANhttps://transformiran.com
This week, I hosted a memorial livestream following Charlie Kirk's assassination. I was joined by Cody Lawrence (Spare No Arrows), Hitler Hated Christ, journalist Mikale Olson, and Pastor Darren DePaul. In this stream, I argued that our nation experienced collective trauma from witnessing graphic violence, identifying four problematic responses: leftists celebrating the death, right-wingers calling for retaliation, conspiracy theorists blaming various actors, and high-level influencers engaging in divisive arguments. And my guests and I discussed challenges with radical ideologies infiltrating conservative Christian spaces and the need for pastoral mentorship. I concluded that the majority response has been people turning toward faith and spiritual renewal in Charlie Kirk's memory.KEY TAKEAWAYS1. Pastoral care is essential during crisis - Pastor Darren emphasized the need for churches to provide real mentorship and life-on-life discipleship rather than just Sunday services.2. Violent imagery can be traumatizing - The widespread circulation of graphic footage created shock and grief for many Americans unaccustomed to witnessing such violence.3. Multiple factions are exploiting the tragedy - Various groups are using Kirk's death to advance their own agendas rather than focusing on healing.4. Cultural Christianity lacks depth - Several of us noted that surface-level Christian identity without genuine faith leads to inconsistent behavior and eventual rebellion.5. Young men need wisdom and mentorship - Our discussion highlighted how young men's lack of discernment makes them vulnerable to extremist ideologies from various directions.6. Charlie Kirk's legacy was dialogue over force - We agreed his approach of engaging opponents through conversation rather than violence should be emulated.CONNECT WITH TPUSAhttps://tpusa.orgCONNECT WITH MY GUESTSCody LawrenceMikale OlsonHitler Hated ChristDarren Depaul
Katie Faust is the founder and president of Them Before Us, a global movement defending children's right to their mother and father. In this conversation she reveals her bold plan to overturn gay marriage through the courts by focusing on children's rights rather than adult perspectives. The episode explores how marriage redefinition has created a legal framework that commodifies children through surrogacy, IVF, and intent-based parenthood. Katie also discusses her controversial "one tool" for evaluating family decisions and her surprising work as a Christian matchmaker.KEY TAKEAWAYSEither adults do the hard thing or children do the hard thing in every family situationGay marriage legally weakened every parent's claim to their own biological childrenNo-fault divorce was the original redefinition of marriage that prioritized adult happiness over childrenIVF and surrogacy create mass production and commodification of children through intent-based parenthoodNatural rights exist pre-government, require no provision, and everyone gets equal measureChristians historically protected children first, then dealt with adult comfort secondCONNECT WITH KATY FAUSThttps://thembeforeus.com/https://thembeforeus.substack.com/https://x.com/advo_katyhttps://x.com/ThemBeforeUs
Dr. Yoram Hazony is chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation and author of The Virtue of Nationalism. In this conversation, he explains how liberal imperialism disguised as "tolerance" destroys nations from within, argues that America's founding as a Christian nation offers the only path back from cultural collapse, and warns that China represents the greatest existential threat to Western civilization while young men waste energy fighting imaginary enemies.KEY TAKEAWAYSLiberal "neutrality" creates a cultural vacuum that gets filled by neo-Marxism and chaosHitler was an imperialist, not a nationalist - nationalism means independent nations coexistingHuman obligations are inherited, not chosen through consent - loyalty bonds create nationsAmerica was legally recognized as a Christian nation until 1947's separation doctrineChina is the only real threat to America while conservatives fight phantom battlesOrthodox Jews and serious Christians are natural allies against liberal imperialismMENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST"The Dangerous Secret Young Men Are Keeping: Neo-Nazi Thought Has Entered the Church" - by Will Spencer (Christ Over All)CONNECT WITH DR.

Dr. Cal Beisner is the founder of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation and a Reformed theologian who challenges mainstream climate orthodoxy from a biblical worldview. In this conversation, he reveals how climate models consistently overpredict warming by 2-4 times actual observations and argues that net zero emissions would kill half the world's population. The episode explores why biblical stewardship contradicts both secular environmentalism and population control ideologies, while defending fossil fuels as essential for lifting the global poor out of poverty.KEY TAKEAWAYSNet zero fossil fuel policies would kill half the world's populationClimate models overpredict warming by 2-4 times actual observations Only one of 120+ climate model families accurately simulates past temperaturesBiblical worldview rejects catastrophic feedback loops in God's creationWealthier societies maintain cleaner, healthier environments than poor onesNew Age environmentalism leads to anti-human population control ideologyMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE"Shepherds for Sale" - Megan Basham"Prospects for Growth: A Biblical View of Population Resources and the Future" - Cal BeisnerCONNECT WITH CAL BEISNER & CORNWALLhttps://CornwallAlliance.org/anniversary 20th anniversary campaign with matching funds up to $100,000!https://CornwallAlliance.org https://CornwallAlliance.org/donatehttps://x.com/@CornwallSteward
Courtenay Turner and Carl Teichrib return to expose the hidden influence of Ken Wilber, the "Christian Joe Rogan's" philosophical inspiration who has shaped globalist movements for decades. Turner and Teichrib reveal how Wilber's "integral theory" serves as the intellectual foundation for movements like Game B, interfaith syncretism, and the UN's one-world religion agenda. The conversation uncovers shocking connections between New Age spirituality, technocracy, and the systematic infiltration of Christianity through progressive theology.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Ken Wilber's integral theory provides philosophical foundation for globalist movements and UN initiativesGame B movement represents "technological Age of Aquarius" merging spirituality with technocracyWilber influenced emerging church leaders like Brian McLaren to syncretize Christianity with mysticismEsalen Institute served as CIA-monitored bridge between Soviet Union and American spiritual movements"All is one" religions ultimately worship the divine feminine/goddess, contradicting masculine ChristianityTrack Two diplomacy uses cultural/religious networks to bypass traditional government channelsMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE"Religion of Tomorrow" - Ken Wilber"A New Narrative for a New World" - Lighthouse Trails Publishing"Changing Images of Man" - Stanford Research InstituteCONNECT WITH CARL & COURTENAYhttps://www.gameofgods.ca/https://courtenayturner.com/
Paul Brown is the founder and co-owner of Wasson Watch Company, a Christian entrepreneur who started his business in 2018. In this conversation he shares how building a luxury watch company led him into information warfare on X, where he discovered the growing threat of antisemitism within conservative circles. The episode explores his decision to take a public stand against Nazis and Groypers, the massive backlash he faced, and why he believes silence in the face of evil is complicity.KEY TAKEAWAYSBuilding authentic products requires refusing to compromise on standardsInformation warfare on X targets minds through coordinated manipulation campaigns Antisemitism has infiltrated conservative spaces through "woke right" ideologySpeaking truth about evil will cost you followers and salesMass formation psychosis can spread dangerous ideas rapidly through societyNo amount of social capital justifies staying silent about moral issuesMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE"Lord of the Flies" - William Golding"Black Sun" - Nicholas Goodrick-Clark"Nazi Ecology" - Dr. Mark MusserCONNECT WITH PAUL / WASSONhttps://wassonwatch.com/https://x.com/WassonWatch🌟 The Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."

Rob Ager is a culture, film and video game critic with more than 280,000 subscribers on YouTube who specializes in deep psychological analysis of classic films. In this conversation he reveals how his early study of hypnosis led him to discover hidden layers in movies by directors like Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock. The episode explores how filmmakers use subliminal techniques to manipulate audience consciousness and why modern cinema has declined in artistic depth compared to classics from the 1970s-80s.KEY TAKEAWAYSHypnosis techniques overlap significantly with cinematic storytelling methods used by master directorsKubrick encoded multiple layers of meaning using visual symbols, spatial design, and psychological manipulationThe monolith in 2001 represents the movie screen itself, not an alien artifactThe Shining depicts generational cycles of family abuse rather than supernatural horrorModern films rely on CGI spectacle over practical effects and genuine psychological depthPolitical correctness has created conformity that stifles creative originality in contemporary cinemaMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE"Codebreakers" by David KahnCONNECT WITH ROB AGERhttps://collativelearning.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@collativelearninghttps://www.youtube.com/@robag555🌟 The Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."

Dr. Michael Egnor is a professor of neurosurgery at Stony Brook University who has performed over 7,000 brain operations throughout his 40+ year career. In this conversation, he shares groundbreaking evidence from neuroscience that challenges materialist assumptions about consciousness and provides scientific support for the existence of the human soul. The episode explores split-brain surgery, near-death experiences, and how his own conversion from atheism to Christianity was informed by what he observed in the operating room.KEY TAKEAWAYSBrain surgery can remove major portions without affecting abstract thought or consciousnessSplit-brain patients remain unified persons despite severed hemispheresChildren missing two-thirds of their brain can develop completely normallyNear-death experiences show consciousness operating independently of brain functionMaterialism fails to explain how perfect concepts emerge from imperfect brainsArtificial intelligence cannot achieve true consciousness because machines lack soulsCONNECT WITH DR.
