He is joined by Reverend Angela Denker, author of 'Disciples of White Jesus: The Radicalization of American Boyhood,' to explore how young men are being influenced by online spaces, conservative churches, and retrograde masculinities. The conversation includes insights into narratives shaping young men, experiences of radicalization, and the intersection of these issues with Christian nationalism. The episode also touches on personal stories, such as that of Dylann Roof, who committed a white supremacist massacre, and Caleb, a former white supremacist turned pastor, highlighting the complex pathways of radicalization and de-radicalization.
