Backwoods Belief

Michael Clary comes out to the Backwoods to discuss gratitude for Godly forefathers and his book, God's Good Design for Human Sexuality.

From Michael Clary:

We're pleased to welcome Charles Haywood out to the Backwoods. This interview is wide ranging and we hope you enjoy listening to it half as much as we enjoyed recording it.

You live in The Objective Room.

If you know what that means then you know we have to figure out how to live faithfully in there. If you don't? Hit Download, press Play, and we'll catch you up.

Loving something necessarily involves hating what would destroy it.

Not convinced? Come on out to the Backwoods and we'll explain.

On this journey to The Backwoods we're talking about why evangelicals (among other groups) are self-loathing and if anything can be done about it.

Why does Big Eva have such an affinity for same sex attraction? The answer, perhaps surprisingly, goes back to the difference between the Reformed approach to sin and Rome's.

We're talking to Dr. Jared Moore about his forthcoming book, The Lust of the Flesh. Dr. Moore's work really devastates institutional evangelicalism, prompting a lot of unneeded anger but little of the needed repentance. What you'll find in Lust of the Flesh (and this episode) is a whole lot of the Bible-saturated, morally unafraid, unfashionable truth that is in such short supply today.

You best start believing in conspiracy theories, Backwoods Believer... you're in one!

At this point it is a matter of Christian faithfulness.

------ Mentioned in the Episode ------

We welcomed AD Robles out to The Backwoods to talk about the importance of taking a cheerful approach to our cultural nonsense. We also get into how to avoid blackpills, what to do if you end up taking one, and whether or not real anger can be part of the program.

It is time to think intentionally about where your faith can thrive? If you need to go, why not go somewhere good?

We're joined by Joshua Abbotoy and William Wolfe of Ridge Runner to talk about Christians living through the great sort and the kind of places they should look to land.

Can you cultivate a family, church, or other institution that is conservative and doesn't drift leftward over time?

Here's Part 2 of our review of a review, Gavin Ortlund's (a quintessential Made to Order Man) on C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength.

And the reason? Ortlund serves as a test case, demonstrating how important the themes of the book are for believers in this hour.

On this episode the guys are trying something different: Reviewing a review, specifically Gavin Ortlund's (a quintessential Made to Order Man) review of C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength.

And the reason? Ortlund serves as a test case, demonstrating how important the themes of the book are for believers in this hour.

Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people.

These are the kind of people who smooth-talk themselves into the homes of unstable and needy women and take advantage of them; women who, depressed by their sinfulness, take up with every new religious fad that calls itself “truth.” They get exploited every time and never really learn. These men are like those old Egyptian frauds Jannes and Jambres, who challenged Moses. They were rejects from the faith, twisted in their thinking, defying truth itself. But nothing will come of these latest impostors. Everyone will see through them, just as people saw through that Egyptian hoax.

Eugene Peterson's paraphrase of 2 Timothy 3:1-9 is pretty great. On this episode we're talking about how Paul's caution to Timothy explains our cultural moment as we look at the feminine version of The Made to Order Man failure.
