That Good Fight: A Reformation for Gentlemen

How can Christians from different church traditions be united? As conservative Christians begin to connect across the wbreadth of the Church in the culture war for the reclamation of the value of Christendom in the secular West, where should the boundaries lie for such unity? If ecumenical ventures were previously the domain of liberals seeking a lowest common denominator, what would a higher-bar "based ecumenism" look like? Can evangelicals have genuine unity with some Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christians, and vice-versa? Can we unite on mission, or do we preach fundamentally different gospels? In one of their most argumentative episodes yet, Aaron and Nathan launch a new conversation on the idea of "based ecumenism" and its implications, discussing fundamental issues of what it means to be Protestant, what it means to be a Church, and what it means to confess and believe that Christ is Lord.

Is Christianity inherently conservative? Why does modern theology tend towards a "progressive" trajectory? Why are Roman Catholic authors often better at articulating conservative principles for morality and culture than Protestants? Why has evangelical theology often failed to prepare the Church for the subtle invasions of secular liberalism? Why are conservative institutions often so incapable of fending off progressive revolutions in their midst? Is a "reconquista" of the institutions possible the other way around? Could the Anglican Church be saved from seemingly inevitable liberal oblivion? What would that take and what would it look like? In another wide-ranging episode, Aaron and Nathan discuss such questions in light of the unique challenges facing any prospect of revival of Church and society in Britain and the wider west today.

Why have so many evangelicals been "red-pilled" over the last decade? What lies behind the failure of evangelical church engagement with culture? What is it about Northern Irish culture that helped it resist many secular liberal advances far longer than the rest of Britain? How might politically active evangelicals learn from the example of the often demonised Presbyterian pastor and Prime Minister, Ian Paisley? And why are modern evangelicals still perpetually anxious about Christian Nationalism?



In this special episode, Aaron talks to evangelical pastor and noteworthy cultural commentary YouTuber, Jamie Bambrick to discuss these important themes and more in another illuminating conversation.

The launch of Restore Britain catalysed a wave of patriotic fervour across the nation. For many, this felt different to the launch of other political movements in recent decades. Why are people joining Restore who never previously cared about politics and what does this suggest about the true depth of what has gone wrong in Britain and the yearning for a deeper solution? Aaron and Nathan reflect on such questions and consider what kind of approach Christians ought to take towards the British political scene today, including how to overcome the strange modern evangelical anxiety about being "too political".

Why did European Christendom collapse? What went wrong with the west? Where and when did it start going wrong? How you answer these questions will determine what you are willing to do about it. For many, the answer is Christian Nationalism. But how will this look in Britain compared with the US based on the cultural history and temperaments of these familial nations? In this comeback episode, Aaron and Nathan discuss several threads towards a Christian response to cultural decline, challenging the Church to raise up the kind of men needed to defend their spiritual and cultural heritage and advance Christ's kingdom in our time.
