We also discuss the GameStop short attempt, as well as other historical events that led to the creation of fiat currency and the Federal Reserve Bank. Recommende...

In this episode, we talk with Jordan Bush, executive director at Thank God for Bitcoin. We'll pick his brain about the importance of de-fi (decentralized finance), blockchain, and how Christians can utilize cryptocurrency to build wealth and further the work of the new Christendom. You can't build New Christendom without understanding money and wealth. In this brief new series, we'll be talking to experts in real estate, cryptocurrency, precious metals (gold & silver), and trad-fi (tradit...

In this episode, we talk with Jeremy Carl, senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, where his primary focus is on immigration, multiculturalism, and nationalism in America.

In this episode we talk with pastor and author Zach Garris about the work of Reformed resourcement and his new book, "Honor Thy Fathers." In the book, Garris argues that biblical patriarchy and male headship were the standard positions of our Reformed fathers. He also argues that churches should return to these teachings and oppose feminist incursions into the church and Christian theology. We'll ask and answer some important questions in this episode: Why is it that so many Reformed churches...

We do a much needed breakdown from the 2024 NCP Conference recently in Ogden, UT. We'll talk about the current moment, why there's so much energy in our camp—dare we say, you could call it an Ogden Mood—White Boy Summer, Stephen Wolfe, and much, much more. We'll talk about some of the highlights, including Joel Webbon's epic talk on righteous balkanization, Chase Davis' post-mortem on Acts 29, and Dr. Joe Rigney's excellent talk about how empathy can destroy your church or community. The...

The Muslims called him Skanderbeg, which means, "Lord Alexander." Born George Kastrioti, the Albanian born prince was captured by the Muslims, became a Janissary, and yet returned to defend his people and Christendom. We'll also talk about the Arab and Ottoman slave trade, which dwarfed the Atlantic slave trade in terms of numbers of slaves and duration. Why don't we hear about this in schools today?

In this episode we talk with Timon Cline and Clifford Humphrey about their article that ran in the American Reformer, titled Fortress Building in the Negative World.

We trace the heroic journey of Christian lords and knights like Duke Godfrey as they reconquer and retake Jerusalem. We'll also cover the battle of Nicaea and Antioch, including the miraculous appearance of Saint George. One of the key figures we'll also discuss is Bohemond, the giant-like hero, and his nephew, Tancred. We'll also ask pivotal questions for our own time: Which institutions could be retaken? Why is it right and proper that men follow other men and leaders who have won real figh...

In November of 1095, at the height of the Muslim invasion, Pope Urban II spoke from a platform outside the French city of Claremont, surrounded by an enormous crowd.

In this episode, we talk about the men who answered the call, from Godfrey of Bouillon to Raymond of Toulouse. We'll discuss the People's Crusade, led by Peter the Hermit and Walter the...

As C.S. Lewis told it, there's not just disenchantment happening about the history of the West and of Christendom, but an intentionally cast dark spell that blinds us to the glory and brightness that is our Christian heritage. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Joe Rigney about C.S. Lewis, the Silver Chair, and the insightful character, Puddleglum. We'll talk about fatherhood, Young Restless & Reformed, the Christian Nationalism movement, and what to expect from life in the negative w...

In this episode, we seek to recover the patriarchy of the first Christendom, including the reformers. To men like Knox, Calvin, Vermigli, and others, headship and father rule were central, not secondary, issues upon which Christendom was built. C.S. Lewis included headship in his book, Mere Christianity, as a centrally important doctrine. We'll unpack nine principles that are central to a patriarchal vision, which is in turn essential for building Christendom.We also discuss the recent tweet ...

Journey back to the brink of history with us, where the fate of the West dangled precariously during the Siege of Vienna in 1683. Feel the intensity of the Ottomans' siege and Vienna's dire straits as we recount the arrival of Jan Sobieski and his famed Winged Hussars. Their legendary charge, the largest in history, didn't just shift the tide of battle—it signaled the beginning of the Ottoman Empire's decline and left a cultural imprint that echoes to this day, even inspiring Tolkien's tales ...

After the rise of Muhammad across the Arabian peninsula in the 7th Century, Christian armies faced a serious threat to Western Civilization. Things came to a head in 636 at the Battle of Yarmuk, when Heraclius' Byzantine army met with crushing defeat before an advancing Muslim army. Many think the conflict between these two religions started with the first Crusade in 1095, but it starts long before that. In this episode, we talk about what happened at this famous battle and why Yarmuk st...

We embark on the epic journey of Season 3 in this episode of the podcast. We'll be talking about the myths and lies you've been told about Christendom 1.0. Speaking of which, what is Christendom? Who are the heroes that built it? What are its high water marks and when did it begin? Why was Islam so important in the shaping of Christian Europe and the West? Were the Crusades really evil? We're telling the story of Christendom in all its heroic glory, from men like Charlemagne and El Cid,...
