I'm listening to this on my morning runs and it has been an pretty good listen thus far. I feel that it has a very interesting take on race relations in the West (USA for the most part).

Has anyone else read or listened to this yet?

Yeah he shitts all over Ibram X Kendi in that book.

I enjoyed the book.. as I enjoyed his other ones

Whenever he puts out a new one talking about the covid response and how the culture has gotten even more wonky and stupid will be great

If you didn’t know, he writes a weekly column for the New York post. I always read it each week

Ha, Yeah, I found this to be great in that it actually explains why we're so fricked as a society now. It's a few hundred years in the making...



But while I read that whole book, I bet that this one is better. Just a condensed and more accessible version:



Other than that, this is a must:

Oh man I read Rise and Triumph in 2022 and it rocked my world. I really like Trueman's work, especially Histories and Fallacies.

War on the West is a good read. Do yourself a favor and search Douglas Murray on YouTube. He’s fun to watch in debates.

I was raised Southern Baptist and non denominational (Chapel on the Campus—where they baptized in an above-ground pool by the LSU Lakes) but we are being officially “sworn in” to the PCA next Sunday. I’m still ambivalent about baptism. Fighting over it (as my mom and I sort of jokingly do) defeats the whole purpose of having it. Paul would probably make some snarky comment about might as well drown yourself than fight over it.

Ihope you'll learn to see it as a beautiful, communal event.

I should have worded that differently. I meant I can see both sides re credo and paedo. I have read and listened to theologians, pastors and scholars I respect debate it (always friendly and respectfully) and still can’t choose.

So I’m like the E Free church and allow for both in my mind and heart. Our boys are 3 and 5 and haven’t been baptized. May wait at this point.

I could certainy have done without the tremendous pressure to "get saved" and baptized as a young Southern Baptist. I started experiencing this as young as five and finally succombed at age nine

Then there are the questions throughout middle and high school of "Am I really saved?!" , "Do I need to get baptized again?!"

This, in my opinion, is very unhealthy.
