Summary

Last spring, Charlie appeared on Doug Wilson's Man Rampant podcast to talk about the intersection of Christianity and masculinity. Charlie tells the story of his ideological evolution and how he moved past a focus on pure economics to fight hard on tough cultural issues, and how he believes the ongoing evolution of young men will eventually transform the rest of society in its wake. It is one of Charlie's fullest articulations of his beliefs and the core objectives of his life's work.
