Doug Wilson is kinda cool. He knows what it’s like to be the most conservative kid at camp and he’s okay with it. He also knows when it’s time to shout at culture, and when it’s time to whisper. Which is a nifty gift. Oh, and he doesn’t love paying taxes. Which means he’s definitely human, and most likely a Christian. He also has no qualms with R.C. Sproul. So, like we said: he's kinda cool.

As our congregation seeks to join the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), Pastor Nate, Pastor Peter, and Pastor Kyle chatted with Doug about all the “scaries” of CREC. Does vitriol have to drip from our lip and obscenity seethe from our teeth? Are women allowed own Bibles and cast votes? Should lesbians and liberals be teaching our kids? Listen, and get your answers.

What's the nature of a witch? To take that which she cannot have and prevent creatures from becoming who they were meant to be.

An indispensable moral lesson drawn from the fairy tale of Jorinda and Jorindel in The Brothers Grimm that can be applied to our zeitgeist.

Helen Andrews believes culture's been feminized. Now what? What do we do about it? Should we seek to recapture institutions or just create new ones?

Speaking of institutions, isn't the Church inherently feminine? Would that mean we should attempt to make it more "masculine?"

Is every man qualified to be a leader? Should women be leaders? What ever happened to the term "actress?"

In this second installment of "The Great Feminization," Pastor Nate, Pastor Peter, and Pastor Kyle dive deeper into Andrews' thesis.

What theological, pastoral, and civil implications does Andrews' thesis have? Which should we accept, and which should we reject?

Imagine a woman critiquing women who believe women can do everything men can do?

Now imagine a woman asserting that women shouldn’t be in every courtroom, graduate seminar, and boxing ring alongside men?

Now imagine a woman arguing that wokeness and cancel culture are the result of the feminization of institutions.

Now stop imagining. There is such a woman, and her name is Helen Andrews. And boy oh boy is she swinging the gauntlet. Boldly.

Connecting some dots between group dynamics, statistics, and institutional shift, Andrews has quite a few things to say that will make some uncomfortable.

Stop saying males and females are the same. Because they’re not.

Stop believing they can do everything the same. Because they can’t.

Men: stop abdicating.

Let meritocracy rule the day.

Stop allowing Human Resource policies to run our schools and inform our parenting practices.

In all things: stop tipping the scale.

This episode is the first installment of Pastor Nate, Pastor Peter, and Pastor Kyle’s engagement with Andrews’ thesis and its relevance for the Church.

Is it true that a “Great Feminization” of culture has occurred? From whence did it derive? How should we as Christians think about it? What should the Church do?
