Summary
📍David Rutherford delivers a powerful warning about the ongoing war for the soul of young men. From the trenches of World War I to the digital battlegrounds of today, Rut reveals how the same forces that radicalized generations of men now use algorithms, ideology, and despair to recruit the next.
He challenges every listener—especially young men—to reclaim their sovereignty through faith, purpose, and truth. History is repeating. The question is: will we break the cycle?
