Axis Mundy Axis Moondy I'm gonna be. Hello and welcome to the podcast, Straight White American Jesus.

My name is Dan Miller.

Professor of Religion and Social Thought at Lamar College,

pleased to be with you as always. And as always, want to say thank you for listening.

Thank you for tuning in. Thank you for supporting the things we do at Straight White American Jesus.

We can't do it without you. And as always, inviting your thoughts, feedback, comments, ideas

for upcoming series and topics

in this series.

You can reach me Daniel Miller Swage, Daniel Miller, SWAJ at gmail.com.

Best way to reach me, I also haunt the Discord that subscribers can access and so on.

And as I've been saying, working up a series on questions I was not supposed to ask in church or questions I wasn't allowed to ask in church. Maybe if you were a churchgoer or spent time in that world, the questions that got you in trouble, the questions that, I don't know, got you labeled as somebody your friends weren't supposed to hang out with, the questions that upset your pastor got you sent to the proverbial corner, what have you. Send those to me. I want to hear them. I want to put that together. Put in your

header questions I wasn't supposed to ask or something like that. And I look forward to exploring those

with you. In the meantime, I want to continue on here. We are continuing our ride or our forced march, I guess,

maybe through Josh Hawley's book, Manhood. We continue exploring his vision of, as the subtitle

suggests, the masculine virtues America needs. That is, Josh Holly's vision of how we will

save America by cultivating the proper masculine virtues.

And again, we're not reading Holly because he's Josh Holly or because he's otherwise

like special or notable in some way. We're reading him because his account of masculinity

opens such a window into the reasoning of the contemporary Maga-Aligned right in so many different

social and religious domains. And we're continuing on, we're in the seventh chapter of the book,

for those who are keeping score, we've made it that far, the seventh chapter of the book in which

Holly presents the third of the distinctly masking roles he believes men are called to play.
