Recovering the Christian Mind Paul Edwards

Alun Ebenezer, the Founding Headmaster at The Fulham Boys School in London, says we are at “a watershed moment in the reconstruction of twenty-first century man…it is open season on manhood.”

Alun joined Paul on The Bob Dutko Show in Detroit to discuss his new book, Call to Action: Become the Man God Designed You to Be.

The world needs real men. Christian men. But real manhood doesn’t just happen. Are you ready for basic training? 

Alun Ebenezer calls men to stop being passive and pursue godly character. In thirty chapters, he provides practical steps for pursuing godly manhood. Take action to become the man of God you must be—the man who our churches, schools, universities, workplaces, families, communities, and countries need you to be.

On December 28 Pastor Paul was the guest host on The Bob Dutko Show on WMUZ-FM 1035 in Detroit (Michigan's Most Listened To Christian Talk). During the program, Paul interviewed theologian Dr. Wayne Grudem about his Newsweek op/ed calling on President Trump to drop out of the Republican Primary race for the nomination for president. The essence of Dr, Grudem's argument is that Trump cannot win enough of the independent voters to win the general election. However, Dr. Grudem unequivocally stated that if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, he will vote for Donald Trump.

As expected, many of Bob's listeners responded angrily to the interview, hearing only criticism of Trump when in reality the majority of the interview was not negative on Trump, but merely a discussion of the political realities.

When Bob returned to the host chair he responded. Bob and Paul had a private conversation prior to Bob addressing this issue on his program on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. All is well between Pastor Paul and Bob Dutko.

Dr. Wayne Grudem is Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary and the author of the standard Systematic Theology used in Christian colleges, universities, and seminaries.

He has published a lengthy essay outlining the reasons why Donald Trump should drop out of the Republican Primary race for the nomination for the presidency.

Today's episode of Recovering the Christian Mind is a conversation with Greg Lukianoff about his forthcoming book, "The Canceling of the American Mind."

Greg Lukianoff is the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and one of the country’s most passionate defenders of free expression. He has written on free-speech issues in the nation’s top newspapers, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, and was executive producer of the documentaries Can We Take a Joke? and Mighty Ira. Lukianoff earned his undergraduate degree from American University and his law degree from Stanford. He worked for the ACLU of Northern California, the Organization for Aid to Refugees, and the EnvironMentors Project before joining FIRE in 2001.  

Matthew Boyd made his Major League Baseball debut as a Toronto Blue Jay on June 27, 2015 and one month later he was traded to the Detroit Tigers. He has played 8 years of his 9 year career with the Tigers, but not without adversity.

He was sidelined for the entire 2022 season after flexor tendon surgery in September 2021.

More recently, 16 pitches into a game against the Texas Rangers in Arlington, something didn’t feel right. Two days later he would have season ending Tommy John surgery.

Matthew is a committed follower of Jesus Christ. How does the Christian faith work when something isn’t right, when we are facing adversity, setbacks, and disappointments?

In this episode of Recovering the Christian Mind we revisit an interview with Dr. Carolyn Weber about her memoir of coming to faith in Jesus Christ as an agnostic while a student at Oxford University: Surprised by Oxford.

This is a wide-ranging conversation with includes discussions of anti-Christian bias in academia, the pressures Christian academics face as professors and teachers in academia, and the surprising way God used the intellectual environment of Oxford to bring an agonistic to Himself.

This interview was recorded in 2011 and is probably one of my top five favorite conversations I ever had during my 12 years as a talk radio host.
