You likely know Allie Beth Stuckey recently decided to take on the Trad Life movement. In the course of doing so she waved several red flags. We're going to get into it and explain why this is more important than a passing social media controversy.

What a great day for our episode with @DMichaelClary to come out. Panter represents all that is wrong in parastic, self-loathing, forefather-despising institutional evangelicalism. These guys are dinosaurs & faithful Christians need to help shuffle them onto the fringe ASAP.

A negative response to the show cites our paltry research into Gilder's actual contributions. That's true. The show wasn't a referendum on Gilder as a man, or on his life as a whole. We discussed the foundation on which he builds his thesis in Men and Marriage.

The reality is they took in the leaven of wokeness, that led (as it always does) to further compromise, and now A29 should be shuttered. God forbid it that these... men... ever have a hand in planting another church. (3/3)

Evangelicals don't have a problem with elites. So long as they're actually ELITE. But as Jeff Wright @merelyjwright from @backwoodsbelief observes, American evangelicalism has been saddled with pretty sellouts and butt-kissers. Meanwhile, believers have been left behind.

If you've ever had even passing contact with The Abolition of Man, Perelandra, or That Hideous Strength you know Lewis would see "wife and father" as a horror akin to a Lovecraftian nightmare. He'd probably also say, "Well, I was afraid we might get here at some point." (1/)
