Lewis Studies certificate) https://logresinstitute.org/ The Rafiki Foundation (classical Christian education across ten African countries) https://www.rafikifoundation.org/ Summary Is gender a social construct, or is it more real than your body? C.S. Lewis said the second one and he meant it literally. Chase sits down with Josh Herring, director of the Logres Institute and author of Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, to trace Lewis's account of masculinity and femininity from Perelandra to That Hideous Strength. They cover the linguistic history of "sex" and "gender" in the OED, Simone de Beauvoir and the three waves of feminism, why Lewis's Platonism puts the idea before the biology (and why Chase pushes back as an Aristotelian), what evangelical men's ministry gets wrong, and whether we will still be male and female in the resurrection. A conversation about receiving reality instead of constructing it.

Nothing in this episode is medical advice — get your own bloodwork and your own doctor. Summary Is your body a discipleship issue? Chase sits down with Anthony Diehl — pro strongman turned metabolic health coach, founder of MODUS — and Matt Patrick, co-lead pastor at The Well and an operator in the health space, for a conversation that starts with testosterone and ends up in anthropology. The three of them work through the collapse in male T levels, what actually causes it, and the difference between deficiency, optimization, and enhancement. But the real question underneath is theological: what do we make of a faith that confesses the resurrection of the body and then treats the body as spiritually irrelevant? Anthony calls it latent Gnosticism, and he traces the biblical alternative — David's aching bones, Paul's bowels of mercy, a Scripture that assumes your physiology and your affections are not sealed off from one another. Along the way: whether Adam and Jesus had "optimal" T, what low testosterone does to a man's agency and appetite for sin, why the myth of roid rage is mostly a myth, how to tell a good clinic from a predatory one, the honest case against steroids from a man who used them, and where the line falls between a biological deficiency and plain old spiritual laziness. If you've ever suspected the split between body and soul was doing damage in your church, this one names it.

Chase sits down with pastor and author Michael Clary to talk through his new book Loser Theology: Why the Weak Will Not Inherit the Earth (Canon Press). Michael diagnoses a malady in the modern church — a "fortune-cookie" spirituality that dresses up passivity as holiness, treats giving up power as the heart of the gospel, and conditions Christians (especially men) to be doormats. Chase and Michael, who go back to their Acts 29 days, dig into the sound-bite theology of Keller, Russell Moore, and Beth Moore, the difference between gentle-and-lowly and firm-and-direct pastoral care, and a whole-Bible reading of the hard sayings — turn the other cheek, servant of all, do not resist the evildoer — that refuses both wooden literalism and liberal escape hatches. The positive vision: high agency Christianity, rooted in the creation mandate and the Great Commission, that recovers authority, dominion, and courage as gifts to be stewarded rather than idols to be surrendered. Whether you’ve felt the dissonance and couldn’t name it or you’re ready to fight it, this one will put steel in your spine.

Chase sits down with Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale — the Oxford- and Cambridge-trained historian known online as Raw Egg Nationalist — to talk through his provocative new book, The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity. They trace Charlie's unlikely path from medieval church historian to one of the most influential voices in the MAHA movement, and dig into his central thesis: that liberalism itself is a low-testosterone system, that endocrine disruptors and processed food are quietly reshaping men, and that Francis Fukuyama's "last man" is now a physiological reality. Along the way they wrestle with the Christian temptation to divorce body from soul, Nietzsche's critique of Christianity as a slave morality, the guilty conscience, Christian vitalism, and whether the church still has the vitality to fight.

Chase sits down with Isaac Botkin of T.REX ARMS and author of Path of Liberty for a wide-ranging conversation on the biblical foundations of self-defense, the strange world of GunTube, why John Piper is wrong about home defense, what red flag laws actually do to common law, Protestant resistance theory and the 250th anniversary of America, and why AI is the new gunpowder.

Chase sits down with Connor Tomlinson — British commentator, writer, and former Lotus Eaters host — for a wide-ranging conversation on the collapse of the United Kingdom and the political insurgency rising to meet it.

Then they dig into the recent local elections, the difference between Nigel Farage's Reform UK and Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, why Keir Starmer is the most hated prime minister on record but refuses to leave, the House of Lords, and whether the King could actually do anything to save the country.

Alex serves with ABWE as Director of Communications, leads as an elder at Faith Bible Fellowship Church of York, and writes at the intersection of missions theology and cultural engagement. In this conversation, Chase and Alex work through one of the most contested and misunderstood concepts in modern Christianity: the ordo amoris, or the order of loves. Drawing on Scripture, Augustine, and the deep wells of Christian tradition, Alex makes the case that love is not flat—it is hierarchical, particular, and purposeful. They discuss how every current culture war issue is, at root, a question of disordered love; why the Good Samaritan parable actually supports rather than undermines ordered love; what a nation truly is and why it matters for both missions and politics; and why a missionary's love for the nations must be grounded in a genuine love for their own nation and people. Alex also responds to key objections—from progressives who claim the concept is unbiblical, to nationalists who want to abandon foreign missions altogether—and explains why he wrote the book to produce "missionaries with the heart of an activist and activists with the heart of a missionary."
