    Jon Tyson: Jesus vs. The Manosphere

    EXCLUSIVE FULL INTERVIEW FOR APPLE PODCAST SUBSCRIBERS (also available to Silver, Gold, and Platinum Patreon and US tax-deductible giving supporters). Jon Tyson, pastor of Church of the City New York and author of 'The Intentional Father' and 'Fighting Shadows: Overcoming 7 Lies That Keep Men From Becoming Fully Alive', joins me to explore the crisis of masculinity and the search for identity among young men today. Drawing on his experience leading a church full of Gen Z and millennial Christians, Jon reflects on the growing openness to faith among young men, the appeal of figures such as Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate, and the influence of ancient wisdom and rites of passage. We discuss why so many men seem to be struggling to find purpose, direction and a sense of belonging, the dangers of toxic expressions of masculinity, and how Christianity offers a compelling alternative. What does it mean to become a man in the modern world, and how does Jesus provide a better model of masculinity?

    Kathy Keller on Tim Keller's Life and Death, and What is Wrong with the World?

    SPECIAL EXCLUSIVE BONUS EPISODE FOR APPLE PODCAST SUBSCRIBERS (and for supporters on Patreon or US tax-deductible giving). Justin Brierley and Belle Tindall-Riley interview author and theologian Kathy Keller, wife of the late Tim Keller who founded and lead Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York and was a prolific writer, speaker, and intellectual influence in Western Christianity. We cover so much over the course of our hour together, including: Kathy’s correspondence with CS Lewis as a child, her marriage to Tim, how she’s living with his death, and her project to posthumously publish Tim’s book 'What Is Wrong With The World?' She also takes on Justin in a mini-debate about the roles of men and women in marriage, and speaks candidly on why critics of what became known as Tim’s ‘winsome approach’ are “clueless” about the challenges they faced when founding their church in New York City!
