A Christianity that is known for its cruelty is a Christianity that no longer knows Christ.

It's live! This episode is all about women's work: Hayley and I challenge the #Tradwife narrative, take a look at the historical reality of women's labor, and excavate a Biblical vision for economic justice from Proverbs 31. @anastasiscenter.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pzc...

I think these guys make up random fake virtues (like, spending money from envelopes of cash) to compensate for the fact that they don't have any real ones.

We as a society should bring back tomato throwing. I feel like a lot of people would clean up their act a bit

I just watched the final edit of our episode on reproduction and I can't believe how *painfully* prescient it is. We recorded it in January but it could have been in response to the last three weeks. Can't wait for you guys to see this in October. anastasiscenter.org/mansworld
