    The Risk of Knowledge | Ep.12

    We track a chaotic news cycle from Venezuela to a fatal ICE shooting, then switch gears into literature to ask when knowledge liberates and when it paralyses. Politics, pride, grace, and risk collide as we weigh doers versus thinkers and why utopias always crack. • shifting narratives on Venezuela and motive versus outcome • conflicting frames on the ICE shooting and evidence • identity locked to party lines and outrage habits • making space from the news to think clearly • Wuthering Heights as a study of cruelty and imitation • classic literature privileging themes over plot • Notes from Underground and paralysis by analysis • ideals, light, and grace as a way forward • risk, growth, and rejecting knowledge as an idol • reading plans and next books to explore Do you do your job and make the world a better place and show them one of the top five, subjectively top five podcasts in the world, and send it to them and to say you need to listen to this because it'll change your life.

    The Ethics of Lying | Ep.11

    We dig into what counts as a lie, how half-truths and omissions still mislead, and whether deception can ever be moral. From politics and pop optics to scripture and everyday choices, we make the practical case for clarity, courage, and letting your yes be yes. • defining verbal lies, behavioural lies, and lies by omission • half-truths, Gricean pragmatics, and context in meaning • the “murderer at the door” and answering the real question • biblical commands, midwives and Rahab, and moral hierarchy • why self-deception blocks growth and breeds blame-shifting • the Pinocchio principle, desensitisation, and trust erosion • practical honesty reps in friendships, feedback, and promises • letting your yes be yes and building reliable character Christ is King, Jesus loves you and He's coming back soon.

    The Four Cardinal Virtues | Ep.10

    We move from a quiet Christmas reflection and a parable about Christ to a hard look at a Sydney tragedy and the man who stopped a gunman. The throughline is simple and sharp: real manhood is virtue in motion when lives are on the line. • somber Christmas mood and loneliness in public spaces • the Man and the Birds parable and its meaning • Australia’s shock after the massacre • honouring Ahmed Al‑Ahmed’s decisive bravery • the four cardinal virtues defined and applied • prudence as tactical wisdom, not cunning • justice as moral balance beyond titles • courage between cowardice and rashness • temperance as voluntary restraint • the role of strength as implied by every virtue • a call for men to be formed Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's Coming back soon Support the show

    The Significance Of Stories | Ep.9

    We dig into why stories change behaviour more than raw facts, from neural coupling and emotion-driven decision-making to the moral architecture inside Pinocchio. Parables, conscience, hedonism, sacrifice, and renewal all thread into a clear case for story as the carrier of truth. • bad storytelling versus meaningful structure • how neural coupling makes stories memorable • emotions as drivers of decisions and habits • facts and feelings needing each other • parables in the Bible as layered guidance • Pinocchio’s conscience, temptation, and captivity • Pleasure Island as a map of hedonism • Monstro, sacrifice, and becoming real • why lies become visible over time • symbolic truth versus historical proof • compassion learned through narrative friction • why story form delivers lasting change Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and he's coming back soon Support the show

    What Is Actually "Good" | Ep.8

    We open with a fiery take on impending social media bans and the spectre of digital IDs, then move into a deep dive on what makes something morally good. We test utilitarian logic, expose bias in “true self” claims, map Kohlberg’s moral stages, and make the case for objective morality grounded in God and natural law. • social media bans weighed against digital ID risks • the difference between functional good and moral good • utilitarianism’s limits through trolley problems and edge cases • how emotions and ideology skew perception and belief • a stroke emergency dilemma to reveal moral stages • Kohlberg’s six stages and a seventh “friend of God” frame • Aquinas on eternal, divine, and natural law • Hume’s is–ought critique and why law is a poor moral anchor • hierarchies of value and why God as first stabilises choices • Jesus as the embodiment and standard of good Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon Support the show

    The Feminisation of Christianity | Ep.7

    Today we tackle how Christianity became feminised in language, music, and culture, and why that’s driving men away. We argue for devotion over sentiment, agape over romance, and a public, gritty faith with clear duties. • gender gap in church attendance and why it persists • men’s and women’s value sets and how Jesus is framed • language as a potential cause for gender discrepancies • love defined as willed, costly action for spiritual growth • correcting misreadings of Song of Solomon and “turn the other cheek” • public mission, duty, courage, and the arena mindset • worship trends that romanticise Jesus and how to fix them • stronger male role models and practical paths for men to serve • why reaching men reshapes whole families and communities Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon.

    Male & Female Sociobiology | Ep.6

    The heart of the show explores sociobiology, brain wiring and senses, and how differences shape communication, work and relationships. • men’s mental health stories and the cost of being unheard • media takes on crying vs what men actually report • sociobiology as a lens for behaviour differences • brain development patterns and intelligence variance • vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell contrasts • spatial skills and how interests map to jobs • direct vs indirect speech and processing vs fixing • bonding chemistry, timing and mismatched expectations Like, subscribe, smash that share button, obliterate that comment section, and let me know what you think Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon.

    Stop Telling Men To Cry | Ep.5

    This week we roast a third-date disaster that turns into an ambush, then shift into a candid take on men’s mental health: where awareness works, where it fails, and what practical steps actually move the needle. We call for fewer slogans and more solutions, from training for hard things to building real male friendships. • media clickbait and the bad-date case study  • why awareness without action falls flat  • speaking vs solving and outcome-focused help  • limits of “real men cry” and performative vulnerability  • communication gaps between men and women  • heroic intelligence, rites of passage, risk and purpose  • third spaces, mateship and measurable support Like, subscribe, share, and leave a comment and let me know what you think Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon!

    Authoritarianism vs Individualism | Ep.4

    This week we set out to call nonsense what it is and trace how shallow outrage and captured institutions nudge people toward obedience while eroding the dignity of individual choice. From media’s “bag spreading” to Idiocracy’s control levers and Milgram’s obedience study, we test the line between courtesy, convenience, and coercion. • why performative outrage replaces personal responsibility • how convenience infrastructures centralise control • captured regulators and incentives that distort truth • statistics versus the lived experience of individuals • utilitarian traps and the limits of tidy moral math • obedience to authority and the Milgram pattern • power’s cycle of corruption and revolt • the courage to entertain ideas without yielding • faith and conscience as guardrails for liberty • practical ways to push back with clarity and grace Christ is King, Jesus loves you, He's coming back soon Support the show

    Hypersexualised Society | Ep.3

    We use Idiocracy’s satire to hold up a mirror to modern hypersexualisation, then trace how incentives, biology and algorithms shape desire, dignity and the dating market. Honest talk on discipline, modesty and double standards that actually protect freedom. • idiocracy’s jokes as cultural mirror • why sex scenes bloat stories without payoff • men’s visual drive and discipline costs • women’s attention loops and signalling • fashion, gym wear and bikini history • judgement vs hypocrisy and common sense • dating market incentives and respect • studies on arousal and behavioural gaps • good double standards that guard civility • a practical path to interrupt the loop Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He’s coming back soon Support the show

    The Psychology of Slogans | Ep.2

    We pick up the thread on what makes a belief “stupid,” using faith, satire, and psychology to test whether the issue is truth or the path we take to it. The film "Idiocracy" becomes a mirror for a societal path we may be taking towards slogans, communication breakdowns, and bias that shape choices today. • how belief formation differs from being right or wrong • personal experience versus evidence and when to hold loosely • confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance in daily choices • sleep, hormones and hidden drags on decision‑making • Idiocracy plot beats that mirror modern culture • charisma, accents and why delivery outruns logic • loss of subtext and forced warmth in communication • slogans, illusory truth and processing fluency • mere exposure, propaganda and repetition effects • simple habits to check certainty against evidence Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon.
