Of Flames and Crowns

Ep. 07: SCOTT ALLEN | Is Illiteracy the Devil's Greatest Weapon?

Every culture war is a battle for words, where ideas shape destinies and truth fights to be heard. In this episode, Lennox Kalifungwa sits down with Scott Allen, author of Why Social Justice Is Not Biblical Justice and 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World, to dissect how language molds culture and why twisting words distorts reality. From euphemisms to gospel truths, discover how Christians can reclaim language, disciple nations, and wield words as tools for truth and transformation.

Ep. 06: URIESOU BRITO | Festivity is Warfare

In this jubilant conversation, Lennox Kalifungwa and Rev. Dr. Uriesou Brito delve into the theology of feasting as an act of Christian warfare and cultural restoration. Feasting, they affirm, is not mere indulgence but a royal proclamation of Christ’s eternal victory—an earthly echo of heavenly triumph. Together, they discuss how joy, song, and celebration glorify the King who reigns supreme, while also serving as vital tools for building resilient, Christ-centered cultures.

Ep. 05: MARK COPPENGER | Where Beauty Dies, Culture Follows

In this illuminating conversation, Lennox Kalifungwa delves into the realm of aesthetics and culture with Dr. Mark Coppenger.
A culture that disregards beauty teeters on the brink of collapse. When a society abandons its appreciation for the transcendent, beauty fades, and civility follows close behind. In a world that despises truth, the vision to behold splendor is lost—eyes that once looked up in awe now stare downward, seeking meaning in the dust.
Art, however, is never silent. It reveals what a culture worships, awakens thought, and moves hearts. Artists hold a dual role: they mirror the soul of their time while wielding the power to shape it. This discussion challenges us to reimagine a world where beauty reigns again.

Ep. 04: DOUG WILSON | Is Race a Lie Many Have Bought Into?

Many confuse ethnicity with culture, mistaking skin color as the source of a society's strengths or flaws. This misconception has led to the fallacy of attributing a culture’s superiority or inferiority to the ethnicity of its people—as if the two were inseparable. At its core, the concept of race is a dehumanizing construct, designed to strip individuals—made in the image of God—of their dignity. Meanwhile, multiculturalism attempts to promote cultural neutrality, offering a syncretistic vision of peace and harmony unmoored from truth.
Join Lennox Kalifungwa and Douglas Wilson as they explore the distinctions between ethnicity, race, and multiculturalism, exposing their implications for culture and society.

Ep. 03: WILL SPENCER | How Religion Molds Men and Makes Culture

True civility rests upon two pillars: religion and masculinity. A society’s beliefs and the character of its men ultimately determine whether its culture flourishes or fractures. The battle for cultural renewal is won when the war for men’s virtue is anchored in a steadfast belief in Truth.
In this episode, Lennox Kalifungwa engages in a compelling conversation with Will Spencer, who shares his extraordinary journey across the globe. Will's exploration of Eastern religions and diverse cultures ultimately led him to Christianity. He discusses his involvement in the manosphere and offers profound insights into religion, culture, and masculinity—timeless truths that demand thoughtful reflection and, indeed, a reckoning. Will also boldly addresses recent controversies surrounding angry men and anti-Semitism, bringing clarity and depth to these pressing issues.

Ep. 02: AARON RENN | Living in a World that Hates Your God

We live in an age that scorns truth—and therefore scorns Christianity. In such times, Christians must follow Athanasius’s example, standing contra mundum (against the world). One of the enemy's key strategies is to weaken and emasculate men, but many are beginning to awaken to this threat and seek paths toward true strength. While not all avenues they pursue are legitimate, this cultural moment presents a crucial opportunity to cultivate virtuous, resilient men.
Join Lennox Kalifungwa as he engages with Aaron Renn on this pressing and vital subject.

Ep. 01: DOUG WILSON | Why Some Cultures Are Superior to Others

Not all cultures possess the same values. Some cultures are, in fact, superior to others. This may sound like a controversial idea to those who have been influenced by the ideals of a modern egalitarian world that vilifies both distinction and disparity.
This assertion prompts a critical question: What benchmarks distinguish superior from inferior cultures?
Listen to Lennox Kalifungwa and Douglas Wilson as they discuss this all important subject.
