Dr. Dan Samms holds a doctorate from Liberty University on the very topic his critics would rather bury, and he turned it into Christian Federalism: The Founding Vision and the Road Ahead, a 259-page field manual for Christians ready to stop spectating. Justin and Jesse dig into the surprising origin of the term "Christian nationalism," the founding documents that settle the debate, and the three...

BD Fleming wrote a book about cigars, and it ends up being about so many good things: Christian liberty, masculine fellowship, fear of man, and whether the weaker brother should be idolized or discipled into health. Justin and Jesse bring their own receipts: a movie Bible study that got Jesse hauled into the senior pastor's office, and a youth group incident involving alcohol that got them...

Lindsey Clancy murdered her three children — Cora, Dawson, and Colin — on January 24, 2023. She is not disputing this. Her husband Patrick was not home. She orchestrated sending him out specifically so she would be alone with the children. The GoFundMe for her defense raised over a million dollars before it was shut down. Women in pink are organizing outside the courthouse. The jury is hung....

The CEO of PragerU flagged it and Justin and Jesse ran it down: "adultism" is the newest critical theory movement, and it is currently being trained into educators at universities by a consulting firm that cannot run its own company according to its own principles. The idea is straightforward — adults oppress children by doing things like setting rules, making curriculum choices, and sometimes...

Two weeks after reacting to NYC Mayor Mamdani's Fourth of July speech, Justin and Jesse bring in the contrast: the founders, speaking for themselves. They read Benjamin Franklin's 1787 speech calling for prayer at the Constitutional Convention — the one where he quotes three Bible verses in three paragraphs and asks why a room full of the most educated men in America forgot to consult "the Father...

NYC Mayor Mamdani sat down on the wrong side of George Washington's desk on July 3rd, squinting into a teleprompter, and turned America's 250th birthday into a 15-minute grievance list. Justin and Jesse go through the whole speech live — the "masked agents stealing your neighbors away in unmarked vans" line, the wealth redistribution language, the claim that American exceptionalism belongs to...

Turns out the country everyone warned the world about has air conditioning, free bread, and people who'll drive a total stranger to a soccer game for free. With the World Cup on American soil and the nation turning 250, Justin and Jesse dig into the flood of foreign tourists discovering — on camera, in real time — that America isn't the crime-ridden hellscape they were promised. They get into the...

Preamble: Who doesn't like free stickers? I offer some if you find the spot and follow the directions. BUT you're gonna have to slog a decent way through the episode to find it...if you do, message us and I'll get you what you deserve ;-) Oh look, another internet theologian has figured out how to solve America’s deepest cultural wounds, and surprise! It involves a shocking amount of...

A Texas Democratic politician went on Joe Rogan and explained that the angel Gabriel asked Mary for her consent before the virgin birth, that God is non-binary because Hebrew nouns have grammatical gender, and that Christians had no theological position on abortion until the religious right invented one in the 1970s — and Joe Rogan said "you should run for president." Justin and Jesse play the...
