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.
