#83 Does Church Legalism Push New Christians Away

David joins us in studio today to chat mimetic theory, scapegoating, and René Girard.

We welcome back Joe Tewell to the podcast. We will discuss all things gym and how they relate to a strong walk with God - how a man of faith is made stronger through solid gym and overall good health habits. 

Will Spencer joins us again to talk about a topic you may have seen boiling up on social media of this Christ Pill vs Red Pill debate. Some Christian content creators have seemingly gone offensive against the red pill and the main content creators there so we figured we'd weigh in on the topic since we find great value in the red pill but also are obviously Christians and promote Christian values.

Join us in discussing this growing view of Theonomy and Christian Nationalism. We listened to a good discussion with Mike Winger and Joel Webbon on the topic and will discuss our thoughts and set the stage for future conversations on the topic with guests. Help us navigate this topic in the comments. Checkout the description on the youtube version for the original video link we are discussing. 

This is our 12th episode of the Biblical series on Matthew. We take an inside look at the content covered in our bi-weekly Iron Disciples meetings. We dig into Matthew 13 and go over the notes John puts together for our group. 

Today we are thrilled to have Michelle Lentz join us to talk about marriage and relationships. She runs an Instagram page called @Heybeginnerwife that provides young women with marriage advice and tips.

We joined Will Spencer in a discussion about masculinity not founded in Christ is really a cringe idea at the core. We touch on a few other topics such as fatherless men finding icons like Jordan Peterson or Tate to fill that void as well as the feminized church is likely going to crumble in the future. 

Rachel Wilson joins us today to talk about the sacred cow that is feminism and the very often untold story of the origins of that movement. Rachel wrote an in depth book on the topic called Occult Feminism that you will want to check out. Find all her links in our Youtube video description. 

We are going to have a casual conversation on why we believe Christianity is true. Join us in this conversation and think for yourself deep down why you think it is true. Why do you have the right answer over the Muslim or the Mormon next to you? If you aren't a Christian we encourage you to take a honest deep dive into the reasons to believe in Christianity. Check out our Youtube video for the linked resources. 

Today we are going to chat about some of the conversation going on around Kat Von D and her recent conversion to Christian and the backlash she got from Christians. Her story isn't a rare one and we are going to chat about how we think new Christians should be viewed vs mature ones. It seems some Christians seems to think that once some accepts Christ that tomorrow their behavior will fit that Christian mold.
