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 DepaulMentioned in this episode:-- WASSON WATCH COMPANY --Swiss craftsmanship meets Christian conviction at Wasson Watch Company - where quality timepieces come from a founder who won't bend the knee.

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/ThemBeforeUsMentioned in this episode:-- REAL BROTHERHOOD FOR CHRISTIAN MEN --Tired of fighting your battles alone?

Dr. Yoram Hazony is chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation and author of The Virtue of Nationalism.

Lucas Curcio is the pastor of The Mission Church in New Jersey, and the host of the Method Ministries podcast.In our conversation, he shares his journey from an aimless young man to finding purpose through reading Scripture and accepting Christ at age 18. The episode discusses how true Christian masculinity requires taking responsibility for your life instead of blaming others, and why many modern movements targeting young men miss the simple gospel message. Lucas emphasizes that real revival comes through prayer and holiness rather than political power, and that a quiet, faithful life often brings more eternal reward than internet fame.KEY TAKEAWAYS:True masculinity requires taking responsibility, not victimizing yourself or blaming others for your circumstances.Men must reconcile with their earthly fathers to understand their relationship with God the Father.Revival comes through prayer, holiness, and God's power, not political movements or human strategies.The gospel calls men to die to themselves, not pursue power and glory through worldly means.Online ministry should never replace real-world relationships, evangelism, and serving your local church community.A quiet, faithful life devoted to Scripture and prayer often brings more eternal rewards than public fame.CONNECT WITH LUCASYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@methodministriesX/Twitter: https://x.com/MethodMinistryInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/method_ministries/🌟 The Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."

Dr. Joe Rigney is a Fellow of Theology at New Saint Andrews College. In his controversial bestselling book "The Sin of Empathy" (Canon Press) he argues that empathy becomes sinful when divorced from truth and biblical standards. In our conversation, Dr. Rigney explains how weaponized empathy manipulates through emotional validation demands rather than genuine care. He describes how many Christians have internalized a "progressive gaze" that judges their faithfulness by secular approval rather than biblical standards. The episode explores practical alternatives to toxic empathy, including Christ-centered compassion that stays anchored to truth while genuinely caring for hurting people.KEY TAKEAWAYSEmpathy becomes sinful when untethered from truth and biblical standards of compassion.Weaponized empathy manipulates through emotional blackmail, demanding validation over truth-seeking.Christians must resist the progressive gaze that judges faithfulness by secular approval.True compassion involves staying anchored to reality while helping those who suffer.Playing the victim differs from being a victim - Christ suffered without self-pity.Good pretending means acting as your Spirit-filled self would in difficult situations.

James Lindsay is an author and founder of "New Discourses," and he's studied the influence of Gnostic ideas on Western politics and culture. In this conversation, he explains how ancient mystical traditions transformed during the Enlightenment into social and political movements that promise to elevate humanity to higher levels of consciousness. Lindsay argues that both woke leftism and emerging radical right-wing movements share the same underlying Gnostic patterns of claiming special knowledge and dividing the world into enlightened elites versus the masses. The discussion reveals how these ideas have parasitized both religious faith and secular reason, the two pillars that built Western civilization.KEY TAKEAWAYSThree religions of the West: Faith, reason, and a secret third - Gnosticism - that parasitizes both legitimate traditions.Modern Gnosticism transformed: During the Enlightenment, spiritual mysticism became social mysticism, replacing spirit world with sociological forces.Gnostic parasite operates through: Fear, desperation, and resentment, attaching to good impulses in faith and reason systems.Wizard circle creates hyper-reality: Distorts logical and moral perception, making people believe they have secret knowledge others lack.Woke right mirrors woke left: Same Gnostic patterns of critical consciousness, us-versus-them thinking, and elite knowledge claims.Faith and reason must shake hands: America's founding principles require both biblical faith and rational inquiry working together against mysticism."SECRET RELIGIONS" LECTURESEp. 1 - The Negation of the RealEp. 2 - The Gnostic ParasiteEp. 3 - As Below, So Above"Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition" by MageeCONNECT WITH JAMES LINDSAYWebsiteYouTubeX/Twitter🌟 The Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."

Courtenay Turner is a podcast host and aerial acrobatic performer who studies esoteric influences on modern society. In our conversation she explains how algorithms create feedback loops that program people's perceptions, connecting topics from education reform to transhumanism. She traces philosophical movements like Game B and Dark Enlightenment back to ancient mystery schools, showing how they drive society toward a technological singularity. The episode also explores how reading primary sources reveals truths that secondary interpretations often obscure or misrepresent.KEY TAKEAWAYSAlgorithmic feedback loops on social media create personalized "silos" that distort reality and program users' perceptions of the world.The School Choice movement may be a strategy to bring all education under government control, executing plans laid out by Alice Bailey.Primary source reading provides clearer understanding of philosophical movements than relying on potentially biased secondary interpretations.The push for psychedelics appears coordinated with studies discrediting SSRIs, potentially replacing one pharmaceutical control with another.Various movements including Game B and Dark Enlightenment represent different paths toward the same technological singularity goal.Identity politics functions by weaponizing compassion to divide people into tribal groups that can more easily be turned against each other.CONNECT WITH COURTENAY WebsiteYoutubeX/Twitter SubstackMENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST"Committee of 300" by John Coleman"Black Sun" by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke"The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Iserbyt🌟 The Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."
