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.
In this episode, Lennox Kalifung...2025-05-061h 00Of Flames and CrownsEp. 23: JARED LONGSHORE | Imposing and Legislating Christian MoralityIn a world hellbent on evicting God from public life, a question echoes with increasing confusion: Would a God of love really force someone to do what they don’t want to do? What happened to “free choice,” “individual liberty,” and all the other slogans we’ve enshrined?
Today, many cling to the myth that law is born from some serene, secular neutrality—hammered out in the halls of diplomacy and burnished by the gentle hand of humanism. But scratch beneath the polished veneer and you’ll find that neutrality is a fairy tale, and tolerance is more marketing s...2025-05-0156 minOf Flames and CrownsEp. 22: GORDON WILSON | Does God Believe in Climate Change?In a world gripped by climate panic, environmentalism has become a new religion—and its doomsday prophets dominate the global stage. But is the threat as real as we're told, or is something deeper at play?
In this episode, Lennox Kalifungwa is joined by Dr. Gordon Wilson, Senior Fellow of Natural History at New Saint Andrews College and creator of The Riot and the Dance. Together they explore the theological roots of climate alarmism, the billion-dollar industry it fuels, and why biblical dominion offers a better way to love and steward the earth. Drawing from his book A...2025-04-2258 minOf Flames and CrownsEp. 21: ANDY NASELLI | Teaching Theology through StoriesChildren need more than entertainment—they need stories that shape their souls. When rooted in sound theology, stories become vessels of truth, carrying the mighty works of God to the next generation. Theology was never meant to remain locked in ivory towers, nor storytelling confined to shallow sentimentality. Together, they forge a powerful tool for cultural and spiritual renewal.
In this episode, Lennox Kalifungwa is joined by Andy Naselli—a theologian, preacher, and soon-to-be pastor who lives at the intersection of doctrine and imagination. Andy is Professor of Systematic Theology and New Testament at Bethlehem College and Semi...2025-04-1753 minOf Flames and CrownsEp. 20: CHRISTINE COHEN | Every True Story Is a Christian StoryWhat will it take for Christians to reclaim their place as the world’s leading storytellers?
The Inklings—Lewis, Tolkien, and their circle—once set the gold standard, crafting tales so rich in meaning they transcended religious and philosophical divides. Why? Because all great stories, at their core, reflect the way God made the world—with truth, beauty, and goodness woven into their fabric.

But what if the real power of femininity is something far greater—something that causes God’s enemies to tremble?
In this episode of Of Flames and Crowns, Rebekah Merkle joins Lennox Kalifungwa to dismantle feminist dogma and cast a vision for biblical womanhood that is strong, intelligent, and unapologetically culture-shaping. She is the author of Eve in Exile, where she challenges feminist myths and calls women to reclaim their Go...2025-03-271h 01Of Flames and CrownsEp. 17: JOE CARLSON | Why You Need Myth to See RealityIn this episode of Of Flames and Crowns, Lennox Kalifungwa and Joe Carlson explore the power of imagination and beauty in literature and creation. In an age suffocating under materialism, naturalism, modernity, and secularism, virtues like beauty, myth, and imagination are not mere luxuries—they are weapons for understanding reality. As tangible manifestations of truth and goodness, they are essential for waging effective cultural warfare.

In this episode of Of Flames and Crowns, Lennox Kalifungwa speaks with Simon Kennedy about Australia's decline from its Christian roots and the need for reform. Once shaped by Christianity, Australia is now secularized, with only 50% identifying as Christian and fewer attending church. The discussion explores how Australia's Christian heritage influenced its civic culture and the challenges of reviving it through education, church leadership, and policy reforms.

To read it rightly is to see His unassailable sovereignty, stirring hope and conviction in His reign over all things. But lies—at their core—are acts of revisionism, desperate attempts to defy the King of Kings. From the beginning, the serpent’s words to Eve sought to rewrite history, knowing that distorting the past leads to destruction. In this conversation, Lennox Kalifungwa and Dr. Christopher Schlect explore why knowing, preserving, and rightly understanding history is essential to building Christian civilizations.

Today, it’s been gutted—stripped of meaning and left to the murmurs of postmodern nihilists. But true poetry isn’t dead; its fire still burns for those with eyes to see. In this episode of Of Flames and Crowns, Dr. Jayson Grieser joins Lennox Kalifungwa to discuss poetry’s lost majesty, its power to shape the soul, and why recovering it matters. From Shakespeare to Herbert, from battle hymns to broken verses, they uncover the art that once moved nations—and can again.2025-02-2854 minSaint Andrews Presbyterian Church - Raleigh, NCFeb 24 2025 A Blank Piece of Paper - By Rev Dr Tom Watkins Our first episode: A Blank Sheet of Paper: A Preacher Prepares for Sunday Dr. Tom Watkins is sharing his process of preparing his sermon for Sundays.

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.

While presented as liberation, these ideas often work to dismantle capitalism, Biblical Christianity, and the core ideals that built the West—only to pave the way for communism. Together, they examine the historical and cultural impact of this ideology across the world and why it matters today.

Modern evangelicalism often reduces it to personal salvation, neglecting its transformative power over culture. As society rejects God’s sovereignty, many Christians retreat into Pietism—separating faith from public life. This has led to the secularization of politics, education, and the arts. In this conversation, Lennox Kalifungwa and Vishal Mangalwadi discuss the need for truth and optimism in discipling nations, confronting cultural decay, and reclaiming the world for Christ.

In the Great Commission (Matthew 28), Christ commands His followers to disciple the nations because all authority in heaven and on earth is His. Nations that refuse to bow to Christ remain in bondage; they cannot be free, let alone flourish, apart from God's holy law—the foundation of true liberty. In this conversation, Lennox Kalifungwa and Jared Longshore confront the pressing need to build distinctly Christian nations.

Despite its scientific veneer, it remains confined to theoretical thought, lacking undeniable proof. Its consequences have fueled movements like abortion, ethnic genocide, and materialism. In this conversation, Lennox Kalifungwa and Dr. Gordon Wilson, a senior fellow at New Saint Andrews College and author of Darwin’s Sandcastle, delve into the flaws of evolution. Dr. Wilson, known for The Riot and the Dance and other works, explores the myth of evolution and presents a biblical perspective on science and creation.

Many live under the shadow of fatalism, viewing life as an unending series of catastrophes where mere survival is the ultimate goal. Yet, this fear fuels manipulation, creating a populace easy to control. For Christians, succumbing to fear undermines their ability to shape the world as they are called to do. In this compelling conversation, Lennox Kalifungwa and Joe Rigney dissect the culture of fear, expose its grip on society, and empower Christians to break free, embrace courage, and live out their call to faithful dominion.

Feasting, they affirm, is not mere indulgence but a royal proclamation of Christ’s eternal victory—an earthly echo of heavenly triumph. Together, they discuss how joy, song, and celebration glorify the King who reigns supreme, while also serving as vital tools for building resilient, Christ-centered cultures.

A culture that disregards beauty teeters on the brink of collapse. When a society abandons its appreciation for the transcendent, beauty fades, and civility follows close behind. In a world that despises truth, the vision to behold splendor is lost—eyes that once looked up in awe now stare downward, seeking meaning in the dust.
Art, however, is never silent. It reveals what a culture worships, awakens thought, and moves hearts. Artists hold a dual role: they mi...2024-12-201h 00Of Flames and CrownsEp. 04: DOUG WILSON | Is Race a Lie Many Have Bought Into?Many confuse ethnicity with culture, mistaking skin color as the source of a society's strengths or flaws. This misconception has led to the fallacy of attributing a culture’s superiority or inferiority to the ethnicity of its people—as if the two were inseparable. At its core, the concept of race is a dehumanizing construct, designed to strip individuals—made in the image of God—of their dignity. Meanwhile, multiculturalism attempts to promote cultural neutrality, offering a syncretistic vision of peace and harmony unmoored from truth.

This assertion prompts a critical question: What benchmarks distinguish superior from inferior cultures?
