We will never stop fighting.

Reaction video (largely *very* positive) of Ross Douthat's interview with Doug Wilson for @nytimes.com comes out in two weeks.

Christian Nationalism is a cancer, not just for the nation, but the most vulnerable among us.

The "libertarian moment" was about defining libertarianism so broadly that someone out there thought that "libertarian theocracy" was a perfectly fine way to combine words.

(Also, follow @sonsofpatriarchy.bsky.social if you want to understand Christian nationalism in the United States.)

This interview between Ross Douthat and Doug Wilson for @nytimes.com Opinion is the best we have EVER read/listened to.

Doug was outmatched intellectually, culturally, and politically.

We would LOVE to get in contact with Ross and discuss his conversation with Doug.

We can help press even further on the abuse allegations, and where Doug outright lied in this interview, or, at the very least, hid the truth of some aspects of his church/movement.

The episode on Catholic integralism is really fascinating. Worth a listen.

Doug Wilson was recently on @theyoungturks.bsky.social podcast.

Thoughts on Doug's comments on "rights vs. privileges" from both a Christian and constitutionalist perspective in the comments.

*Just* learned how to use TikTok, so once I figure out captions, I'll do them!

We're uploading unique short-form videos on Doug Wilson and Christian Nationalism that's unlike anything that's out there right now.

And it's because we've been researching this for years.

Sons of Patriarchy is one of the most important sources out there in terms of understanding what is happening in US politics, culture, and religion. It's incredibly informative and accessible, and they treat survivors of abuse with the utmost dignity and respect.

A few weeks ago @wsj.com reached out to us for help on Doug Wilson

We spent a few hours on the phone with one of their reporters, and then connected them with Emilie Dye from our series.

Not *both* Doug Wilson and Emilie Dye are front page news.

More to come from other major news outlets soon.

We talked with Emilie Dye in "Groomed to Submit: Abuse in the CREC, Part 2."

Her story now shares the front page with Doug Wilson at @wsj.com on Christian Nationalism and MAGA.

We'll expand on the story on YouTube Live tonight at 7pm EST with her: www.youtube.com/live/t1gRwjh...

In this video:

Brian Sauve and Eric Conn, pastors of Refuge Church in Ogden, Utah.

You may have heard the pastor they are most influenced by... Doug Wilson.

We talk about all of this in our series.

For everything that is profoundly stupid in this clip, they generalize the entirety of Black culture based upon the murder of Iryna Zarutska.

But I guess White culture gets a pass, even though the vast majority of mass shootings were perpetrated by... white people.

There are no greater threats to the church today than Christian Nationalism and Cultural Christianity.

Both feign a confession of faith when they are more worried about cultural relevancy and domination.

Both are antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Some may have noticed the "Sons of Patriarchy" controversy this week. I'm releasing an interview w/ Sarah Bader on Thursday's episode of "Highest Power: Church + State." But for my article, I spoke with Sarah Bader, Peter Bell, and Sarah Stankorb about it.

Bader and Bell decided to host a separate event at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Center in downtown Moscow.

"Bader and others have been shouldering the work on an ongoing, daily basis for years and years far beyond the podcast and instead, just helping survivors meet their basic needs. Why is transparency about problem behavior by a man lauded, and she’s so often invisible?"

The ongoing saga of the agreed upon 1-on-1 between us and Doug Wilson continues.

Doug's not used to not being in control of these conversations, and we'll keep it that way.
