Of Flames and CrownsEp. 24: BEN MERKLE | The State Is Not Your FatherWhere tyranny reigns, weak men lie at its feet. They’ve abandoned their post—no longer leading their homes, protecting their families, or standing firm for their churches. Instead, they cling to the State like orphans, begging it to do the work they were called to do: to build, to guard, to rule. The result is predictable—freedom dies, vice thrives, and culture rots. A nation of emasculated men will never be free. What we need are men with spines—men who wield strength, courage, and conviction to crush evil and cultivate good.

Academia is the battleground where the thoughts and affections of entire cultures are forged because education is, at its core, a form of discipleship. To claim academia is to seize the reins of religious and cultural formation. Those who control the classroom shape the future. In this episode, Lennox Kalifungwa sits down with Dr. Ben Merkle, President of New Saint Andrews College, to unpack the vital role education plays in building and sustaining Christian civilizations.

Pod of the GapsEpisode 76 - Is It Time to End the Church of England?We've come to expect the politically correct and increasingly “woke” posture of many of the Church of England’s official statements and policies in recent years. Recent announcements on issues such as race, Islam, sexuality, and even evangelism, showcase a desire to “play nice” with the secular and multicultural political establishment rather than offering a genuinely prophetic voice.
But is the CofE’s descent into ever more progressive viewpoints is inevitable? What about those who seek to reform Anglicanism from within, restoring its evangelical roots? Is there a case for disestablishing the Church of England altogether?
