Luke Moon talks about Christian Zionism, U.S.–Israel relations, and the theological, political, and cultural assumptions that often shape Christian support for Israel. 

Progressive evangelicals have become increasingly significant in reframing the issue around social justice, Palestinian solidarity, and postcolonial critique.

Luke Moon distinguishes between reasonable theological and/or America First convictions and caricatures that appeal to examples like John Hagee, that frame pro-Israel Christians as merely partisan or apocalyptic, while also addressing conspiracies and anti-Jewish perceptions across the political spectrum. 

Moon calls for...

Marco Rubio's speech in Munich and Rupert Lowe's "Restore Britain" advertisement are encouraging reminders that there are still statesmen who get it. They understand national identity, the importance of Christianity, and the need for decisive action now to restore civilization.

Jon talks about the biggest stories for American Christians including Cru's new policy on sexuality, shifting narratives on race and Israel, transgenderism, Euthanasia, Zionism, Jeremy Carl's confirmation, and more.

Jon Harris examines the roles of prophetic witness and political engagement drawing from Old Testament prophets who directly confronted rulers and called people to repentance. Harris distinguishes bold moral confrontation—upholding God's universal law—from pragmatic politics, which involves stewarding votes and seeking societal arrangements that protect Christian freedoms, families, and cultural inheritance.

He critiques Russell Moore as a negative example, arguing that Moore's writings in mainstream outlets like Christianity Today misuse Scripture to chide conservative evangelicals while aligning with leftist priorities on issues like open borders.

Harris contrasts this...

TPUSA's Half-Time Show was not perfect, but it moved things in a better direction, proved TPUSA is able to form counter institutions, and showed there's a market for more American focused content.

SBC churches have partnered with government-funded organizations such as World Relief, Arrive Ministries, and Lutheran Services for refugee resettlement.

Many of these groups receive substantial federal grants, offer legal services including citizenship applications and removal defense, distribute "know your rights" materials advising non-cooperation with ICE, and engage in political advocacy opposing enforcement measures. 

Numerous examples illustrate Southern Baptist churches nationwide supporting these efforts.

There is a current opportunity, amid recent immigration enforcement changes, for conservatives to attend the June SBC annual meeting, influence resolutions, a...

Today I'm sharing my article from December 26, 2025, "When Dinner Stops Being Ours: Cuisine, Immigration, and the Quiet Erosion of Belonging." I challenge the idea—pushed by folks like Piers Morgan—that mass immigration is worth it because it spices up "bland" Western food. While new flavors can be great, I argue through personal stories of smoking Southern barbecue in the Hudson Valley and connecting to my Mississippi roots that cuisine is far more than taste: it's a sensory anchor to identity, family, region, and nation. From Thanksgiving turkey to Fourth of July grills, shared foods build quiet solidarity. Yet fast...

In today's episode, I'm sharing my latest article, "Regaining the American Dream for Zoomers: What the Government Can Do." I argue that the classic American Dream—of hard work leading to independence, family, and community—is slipping away from Generation Z amid skyrocketing debt, collapsing marriage and birth rates, and cultural decay. While prayer and personal virtue are essential, I lay out bold government steps we can take right now: incentivizing traditional marriage and family formation, ending predatory high-interest lending, and creating mandatory civil service programs to build skills, discipline, and confidence in young people without burying them in coll...

Let's dive into the dramatic rise and fall of New Calvinism (the Young, Restless, and Reformed) movement that once captivated a generation of evangelical men seeking doctrinal depth and masculine leadership.

We'll look at "father hunger," the shift from solid theology to holistic lifestyle brands, and the erosion of standards amid scandals, shifting labels, and online tribalism.

We will examine how unmet expectations and betrayals propelled many former adherents toward bitterness, the manosphere, and edgier political fringes.

We will highlight enduring biblical virtue, local roots, and direct dependence on Christ rather than celebrity...

In "The Schemes of the Devil" based on Ephesians 6:10-12, Jon Harris urges believers to recognize the reality and danger of Satan, a deceptive liar and destroyer who blinds unbelievers and actively tempts Christians toward sin, division, unforgiveness, pride, and false beliefs, yet whose power is limited and ultimately defeated. While unbelievers remain helpless under his dominion and should fear him, Christians need not fear but must take him seriously, staying alert to his tailored schemes that exploit personal weaknesses through lies about others, self, God, and even Satan himself. Victory comes not in our own strength but by...

In the classic film It’s a Wonderful Life, George Bailey embodies the dutiful, small-town American man who sacrifices personal ambitions for family and community, yet struggles with feelings of insignificance and unfulfilled dreams—a midlife crisis many modern middle-aged men experience today, intensified by technology and social media. These men often feel invisible as they watch others gain influence online, grapple with unmet expectations around homeownership, marriage, and family, and witness a broken cultural rite of passage where young men seek validation through viral memes, edgy content, or shocking behavior rather than traditional markers of manhood. In contrast, thes...

Judd Saul from Equipping the Persecuted and Truth Nigeria joins the podcast to talk about recent developments in the region and how Christians are targeted.

The Southern Baptist Convention has undermined its moral authority amid America's institutional legitimacy crisis by adopting progressive agendas, including a multimillion-dollar #MeToo alliance costing over $13 million—featuring the Guidepost investigation—that led to selling its headquarters. This stemmed from a purported abuse emergency based on contested events: Paige Patterson's 2018 firing over remarks and an unverified allegation; the 2019 Houston Chronicle report (with predation rates critics say are below societal averages across 47,000 churches); and Jennifer Lyell's progressive activism framing a 12-year consensual relationship with David Sills as abuse, now unraveling via romantic emails revealed in the Sills' ongoing defamation lawsuit exposing Guid...

The “trad wife” trend shows people are starving for natural order after feminism’s damage — but not all patriarchy is the same.  

Nietzschean vitalism (Bronze Age Pervert, Andrew Tate, etc.) celebrates raw conquest, optional families, and disposable wives. 

That’s not what built the West.  

The West was built by a different kind of man: monogamous, self-controlled, paternal Christian fathers who protected the weak, adopted the fatherless, and saw dominion as a duty to family, community, and God — not an end in itself.

Jon Harris offers encouragement to the growing number of singles – especially Gen-Z and Millennials approaching or past thirty – who dread the holidays because the spouse and children they long for are still nowhere in sight.

Drawing from his own years of singleness and prolonged infertility, Jon refuses to give cheap platitudes or toxic “just be content” advice. Instead, he validates the very real grief of empty chairs at Christmas dinner, silent second bedrooms, and Hallmark movies that now sting.

He reminds us that:

In this third installment in the Anglo-American Conservative Book Series, Jon covers John Taylor of Caroline's 1823 work, "New Views of the Constitution of the United States," which critiques the shift from a federation of sovereign states to a consolidated national government.

Taylor, a Revolutionary War veteran, Virginia politician, and friend of Jefferson and Madison, argued that the Constitution preserved state autonomy and rejected nationalist interpretations like those in Joseph Story's Commentaries or The Federalist Papers.

He highlighted previously secret Convention debates, rejected proposals for federal supremacy over state laws...
