Podcast Overview

To challenge and rethink our paradigms for understanding society, by applying Reformed theology and philosophy to politics, religion, and culture, in order to encourage individual freedom and responsibility within our own spheres of influence. Mere Liberty is about liberty at its most fundamental core. It's stripping away the rhetoric that we've become accustomed to hearing and challenging the paradigms that face us today. Mere Liberty is not about politics per se, rather it's about the philosophies (and theology) behind the problems presented in politics and culture. Challenging the manner in which we see these problems will push us to think beyond mere political solutions that in effect isolate us from own responsibility, and eschewing responsibility means relinquishing our associated freedoms.

Nancy Pearcey Explains The Toxic War on Masculinity

| SUMMARY - Nancy Pearcey Explains The Toxic War on Masculinity | TIP JAR: <a href= "https://donate.stripe.com/aEUdUE5YodhZgkUeUV">https://donate.stripe.com/aEUdUE5YodhZgkUeUV</a> In this episode of Dare to Think, Kerry Baldwin interviews Professor Nancy Pearcey about her book, The Toxic War on Masculinity. This book is not intended to take sides in cultural-religious debate between Complementarianism and Egalitarianism. Instead, Pearcey examines a socio-historical perspective of the phenomenon known as "toxic masculinity" and whether Christianity or secularism is responsible for it. Pearcey finds a number of surprising examples throughout history, and also today from prominent sociological and psychological marriage researchers. Pearcey's book is more of an academic apologetic written for educated layman, instead of a popular piece.
