    Assume the Center: Chase Davis on Christian Confidence

    For decades, many Christians have been taught to see themselves as outsiders in a culture they can no longer influence. But is that mindset actually biblical? Alex sits down with Chase Davis to discuss what it means for Christians to “assume the center”—to live with confidence rather than retreat into despair, cynicism, or resentment in an increasingly disordered age. They talk through why Christianity should be viewed as normal rather than marginal, the relationship between faithfulness and cultural influence, building strong families and churches, why Christian men must recover courage and responsibility, and what it looks like to live as though Christ truly reigns.

    No Neutral Ground: War, Manufactured Narratives, and the Crisis of Soft Men

    War in the Middle East exposes the myth of neutrality, a federal indictment raises questions about who really shapes our cultural conflicts, and a debate over “soft men” reveals a deeper problem in the church’s ability to send. This episode connects the headlines to the underlying reality: the world is divided over Christ, the kingdom is advancing whether we see it or not, and the mission still requires strong, faithful believers willing to carry the gospel where it costs something.
