Tesla, Elon Musk, and Political Violence

Apr 08 2025 59 mins  
Not All Tesla is Tesla. What Tesla means to people has shifted drastically. It’s a shibboleth in our culture. From the darling of the green left to the “Swasticar,” you're now considered a villain if you drive a Tesla, particularly a Cybertruck. We don’t understand Elon Musk until we get a grip on South Africa and her unapologetic males. South Africans have not been run thr

Advocating for Devil's Advocacy

Apr 01 2025 82 mins  
What is the origin of the "devil's advocate"? What are the benefits of assigning someone to that role? It has been noted in Scottish Presbyterian polity that a unanimous decision has not been sufficiently debated. In other words, either the issue was trivial, the presbyters were apathetic, or no one stepped up to elevate the debate by serving as the devil's advocate. Tim and Andrew

Jürgen von Hagen joins Tim Bayly to discuss fruitfulness, natalism, and fertility demographics. From Malthus to Erlich to many contemporaries—for over two centuries—the prophets of doom have pleaded with mankind to abandon fruitfulness to survive.

Rev. Dr. Jürgen Von Hagen joined Tim and Andrew to discuss European culture and international relations. Last week, US Vice President Vance gave a speech at the Munich Security Conference—a meeting of top European military leaders, diplomats, and government officials. Vance's speech was a shock to many Germans (and the broader European community) because they expected him to spe

Heirlooms and Traditions

Jan 28 2025 72 mins  
So often we attempt to be aspirational in the setting of traditions in our families. What does that mean? It means we work hard to build traditions meant to project to others the "perfection" of our marriages, our childrearing, and our homesteads. Rather than cave to the pressure to portray the perfect home with the perfect traditions for the perfect children in the perfect marriag

Fire & Church Reform

Jan 18 2025 49 mins  
Los Angeles burns and fire policy in California is exposed. Accountability and reformation ought to come. What can we learn about church reform from wildfires and fire policy? It is common for pastors to be punished when the fire of the Holy Spirit begins to burn. Fire ought to be allowed (planned burns); so, too, the Holy Spirit will burn for the good of our churches and people. M

Conversely, real manhood is about taking responsibility and being an agent—not a perpetual victim.On the other hand, victimhood is not fake news. S
