Season premiere. My full Disputatio lecture at New Saint Andrews College on the radicalization of young Christian men, antisemitism on the right, and how white nationalist ideas are entering the Reformed church.
On Friday, September 18, 2026, I spoke at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho. The talk is titled "Every Man Gets Forged: On the Radicalization of Young Christian Men."
The talk covers two things. The first is the pipeline pulling young men, many of them professing Christians and conservatives, from an absent father through porn, video games, shame, and the Manosphere, until they blame the Jews for everything wrong in their lives. The second matters more: the old movement waiting at the end of that path, which traded the armband for a suit decades ago and is now tunneling into the Reformed church and conservative politics. It doesn't sound foreign when it arrives. It sounds like us.
This episode is the full talk, from the podium. Next week, I'll lay out what this season looks like and who I'll be sitting down with.
Let's get to work.
