Conversations That Matter

The Southern Baptist Convention has undermined its moral authority amid America's institutional legitimacy crisis by adopting progressive agendas, including a multimillion-dollar #MeToo alliance costing over $13 million—featuring the Guidepost investigation—that led to selling its headquarters. This stemmed from a purported abuse emergency based on contested events: Paige Patterson's 2018 firing over remarks and an unverified allegation; the 2019 Houston Chronicle report (with predation rates critics say are below societal averages across 47,000 churches); and Jennifer Lyell's progressive activism framing a 12-year consensual relationship with David Sills as abuse, now unraveling via romantic emails revealed in the Sills' ongoing defamation lawsuit exposing Guidepost's biased process. The episode reflects a shift from biblical standards on adultery to secular frameworks, demanding new leadership rooted in truth for restoration.

The “trad wife” trend shows people are starving for natural order after feminism’s damage — but not all patriarchy is the same.   Nietzschean vitalism (Bronze Age Pervert, Andrew Tate, etc.) celebrates raw conquest, optional families, and disposable wives.  That’s not what built the West.   The West was built by a different kind of man: monogamous, self-controlled, paternal Christian fathers who protected the weak, adopted the fatherless, and saw dominion as a duty to family, community, and God — not an end in itself.   If we replace that paternal strength with either polygamous warlord energy or soft nanny-state nudging, the civilization that conquered the world will fall. We are not just patriarchal. We are paternal — and that’s the part worth saving.   https://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcast Substack: https://substack.com/@jonharris?

Jon Harris offers encouragement to the growing number of singles – especially Gen-Z and Millennials approaching or past thirty – who dread the holidays because the spouse and children they long for are still nowhere in sight. Drawing from his own years of singleness and prolonged infertility, Jon refuses to give cheap platitudes or toxic “just be content” advice. Instead, he validates the very real grief of empty chairs at Christmas dinner, silent second bedrooms, and Hallmark movies that now sting. He reminds us that:- It’s normal and right to mourn good gifts that haven’t come yet - Church community and invitations help, but they don’t (and can’t) replace the family you don’t have - Counting it all joy doesn’t mean pretending the trial isn’t hard—it means trusting the Father’s mysterious, loving providence even while you weep - Jesus Himself knows singleness, rejection, and sorrow, and He entered this broken world at Christmas for the precise purpose of meeting you in yours. You’re not forgotten, you’re not failing, and you’re not alone—God sees every tear, and the One born in Bethlehem is still Emmanuel, God with us, even in the ache. “Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.” (Job 13:15) “In this world you will have tribulation—but take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) Order Against the Waves: Againstthewavesbook.com Check out Jon's Music: jonharristunes.com To Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/ Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcast Substack: https://substack.com/@jonharris?

In this third installment in the Anglo-American Conservative Book Series, Jon covers John Taylor of Caroline's 1823 work, "New Views of the Constitution of the United States," which critiques the shift from a federation of sovereign states to a consolidated national government. Taylor, a Revolutionary War veteran, Virginia politician, and friend of Jefferson and Madison, argued that the Constitution preserved state autonomy and rejected nationalist interpretations like those in Joseph Story's Commentaries or The Federalist Papers. He highlighted previously secret Convention debates, rejected proposals for federal supremacy over state laws, and warned against encroachments like federal assumption of debts, national banks, tariffs, and judicial overreach. Taylor emphasized federalism as key to American exceptionalism and cautioned that abandoning it would lead to despotism, drawing parallels to Rome, France, and England.

The American Right is not merely “splitting” between MAGA and America First” or “populists vs. institutionalists.” Something far deeper and more dangerous is happening: a civilizational crisis over truth itself. Once, the Right united against a corrupt legacy media. Today, distrust has metastasized. Fox News is bleeding credibility, The Daily Wire is viewed with suspicion, and the loudest voices now belong to independent influencers who boast that we live in a “post-fact era” — and celebrate it. Candace Owens hosts the world’s biggest podcast by telling millions they’re being lied to by virtually everyone, then offers her own intuition (and fringe Freemason theories) as the escape hatch. Nick Fuentes is called “brilliant” simply for speaking fluently and without filler words. Professional standards, peer review, retractions, and institutional accountability are dismissed as tools of the elite that already failed us. A century ago, José Ortega y Gasset and Gustave Le Bon warned exactly what happens when masses lose faith in inherited standards yet prove incapable of replacing them: the triumph of the pseudo-intellectual, the vulgarization of public life, and the rise of leaders who impose opinions by force of will rather than reason. We are living in the world they foresaw. This episode asks the questions few on the Right want to face: If we reject both legacy media and the disciplined alternative institutions that tried to replace them, what is left? When sensationalism, transgression, and raw emotional appeal out-compete responsibility and accuracy, have we simply traded one form of manipulation for another? Can we rebuild trustworthy platforms, standards, and leadership without falling into either naïve institutionalism or cynical nihilism? Ultimately, the fragmentation of the Right is not just tactical or teleological — it is epistemological and spiritual. Shouting “Christ is King” while abandoning the very standards that once flowed from Christian civilization will not save us. Real restoration begins in local: in families, churches, schools, and communities that prioritize truth, virtue, and accountability over clicks, clout, and catharsis. A sober, urgent diagnosis of where the Right is — and a call to rebuild on ground that will actually hold.

My review of J.D. Greear's new book "Everyday Revolutionary."substack article: https://jonharris.substack.com/p/everyday-revolutionary-or-third-way PowerPoint: https://www.patreon.com/posts/143983538 J.D. Greear’s new book Everyday Revolutionary promises a bold path forward for Christians in culture, but is it really revolutionary or just Third-Way 2.0 with better marketing?Jon Harris returns to Conversations That Matter to unpack Greear’s updated playbook: tougher rhetoric on Democrats than the 2010s versions, yet still heavy on non-partisan platitudes and light on hard stands over immigration, criminal justice, or gun control. Why does Greear insist conservatives must publicly repent of the Right’s sins to maintain credibility?We applaud the strong “theology of place” and exile framework… then watch it collapse into confusion: activism is supposedly secondary to the gospel, yet suddenly mandatory when the Bible “clearly” speaks as long as it doesn't alienate a particular political party. From benching George Whitefield over slavery to walking the purple-city tightrope, Harris argues the book ultimately functions as reputation management rather than a call to costly faithfulness.Is Everyday Revolutionary the renewal the church needs, or a sophisticated toolkit for evangelical shape-shifting? A candid, no-punches-pulled conversation that matters.

In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon explores the relationship between politics and morality for Christians. He argues that while politics undeniably involves moral elements, it is not fundamentally a cosmic battle between good and evil. Instead, politics is about preserving and improving a specific way of life for one's family, community, and people. Using sports as an analogy, Harris explains that games have rules and moral expectations, yet the goal is one team prevailing through local loyalty and ordered love, not universal ethics. Christians can support opposing teams faithfully, just as political issues often require wisdom rather than binary moral judgments. Examples include debating condos versus scenic preservation, allying with feminists to protect girls' sports, taxing vices like marijuana to curb harm, or opposing alcohol bans to safeguard family heritage. Harris stresses the art of the possible: forming limited partnerships with flawed individuals against greater threats, as on Flight 93, and even opposing morally superior foes if they endanger your home, as in historical wars where Christians fought on both sides. God's moral law remains universal on core issues like abortion, but most political decisions hinge on context, identity, and stewardship. The aim is flourishing for those under your care morally, economically, and culturally. Harris rejects situational ethics while affirming situated wisdom in pursuing the best for your people.

I argue that in the culture war—amid Christianity’s collapse (only 18% of Zoomers remain deeply religious), the Left’s 2020 tyranny, and the Right’s self-destructive infighting (as Matt Walsh warns)—Christian conservatives may engage in limited co-belligerency with unlikely allies to defend our way of life, but only when three pillars remain intact: intention (preserving inherited order against existential threats, per Scruton, Abram’s pagan rescue of Lot in Genesis 14, and Nehemiah’s wall); identity (Schmitt’s friend/enemy distinction, rejecting liberalism’s failed pluralism and decisionism’s tyranny, favoring federalism); and integrity (unbreakable moral lines—Daniel’s refusal, Joseph’s flight, and Paradine’s rejection of witchcraft in “The Valley Was Still”). Any alliance that demands we compromise conscience, blur our distinctions, or induce sin is strictly forbidden—no exceptions.

Daniel Keene, a North Texas small-business owner of Boundaries Coffee, faced intense backlash after a viral X post (now deleted) where he filmed an Indian block party in his suburb and vented frustration over demographic changes, declaring, “We have to cancel the H-1Bs. I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India.”The situation escalated at The Trails Church, where Keene was a member. Elders summoned him and his eight-months-pregnant wife for a multi-hour interrogation, initially over the "uncharitable" post but pivoting to demand repentance for his H-1B stance itself. They scrutinized three years of his X activity, flagged "concerning" posts, and warned of church discipline.Order Against the Waves: Againstthewavesbook.comCheck out Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastFollow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/ Our Sponsors: * Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code HARRIS for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The left has controlled cultural institutions like universities, media, and think tanks for over a century. Meanwhile, the right, which values tradition and hierarchy, lacks comparable institutional mechanisms and relies on "horizontal moves" by personalities like entertainers or outsiders, such as Donald Trump. The left's influence, like a virus, radicalizes youth and undermines traditional structures like family, contributing to a civilizational decline, as evidenced by polls showing declining interest in marriage among Gen Z, particularly women. Without a robust training ground for leaders, the right resorts to populist platforms where entertainment and provocative soundbites often overshadow intellectual rigor. This shift has turned political discourse into a spectacle, favoring personalities over substantive debate and complicating the right's ability to govern. Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA demonstrate a way forward by building a parallel institution within universities, fostering loyalty and a clear vision through nationwide chapters and trusted voices. The left's failure to meet societal needs, coupled with signs of civilizational collapse, creates an opportunity for the right to gain momentum.

The funeral for Charlie Kirk was yesterday. Many Christians were pleasantly surprised to hear how many times the name of Jesus was mentioned and the gospel was proclaimed. Is something happening on a grander scale? There were controversies generated from some of the speeches including a debate over what forgiveness is and when it is appropriate. Also, another debate on whether or not Tucker Carlson's comments were "antisemitic." Michael Foster's been spotlighting doctrinal drift in the PCA and TGC lurches to the Right on Transgenderism. All this and more!

Since Charlie Kirk's assassination, tributes highlight his diverse friendships. Known for content creation, debates, and relationship-building, controversies now surround his views on Israel. Was he pro-Israel? Josh Hammer recalls a pre-assassination Zoom call discussing anti-Israel campus questions, while Benjamin Netanyahu cites a letter where Kirk wrote, "One of my greatest joys as a Christian is advocating for Israel." Or anti-Israel? Marjorie Taylor Greene shared a text where Kirk avoided an AIPAC debate, Tucker Carlson noted his criticism of Netanyahu and Gaza, and Candace Owens mentioned his censorship concerns.Kirk likely supported Israel, questioned media on Gaza, and opposed anti-Semitism while worrying about donor pressure and U.S. influence. His religious stance, though Protestant, showed curiosity toward Catholicism and Orthodoxy.The best explanation: Kirk was diplomatic, curious, and focused on uniting the MAGA coalition, a trait to be respected, not misconstrued.

Jon Harris and Hussein Abubakar Mansour discuss the historical and intellectual origins of anti-Semitism, focusing on its emergence as a modern ideology in 19th-century Europe. They explore how Enlightenment thinkers like Kant and Hegel framed Judaism as a barrier to universalist ideals, with Kant viewing it as heteronomous and Hegel associating it with societal division. This perspective culminated in Marx’s On the Jewish Question, where he equates Judaism with capitalism, advocating for humanity’s liberation from both. They analyze how these ideas shaped intellectual anti-Semitism, influencing Marxist critical theory and nationalist movements. Hussein shares his journey from growing up in 1990s Egypt amid rising Islamism, his involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood, and his eventual conversion to Orthodox Coptic Christianity, which led him to study anti-Semitism’s roots. They connect these historical insights to contemporary issues, noting parallels between 19th-century ideologies and modern left-wing anti-Zionism and right-wing conspiracies. They discuss the oversimplification of blaming Jewish influence for societal issues, emphasizing the need for nuanced analysis and the role of diverse radical groups. Solutions include combating misinformation, building alternative institutions, and returning to transcendent values to counter ideological extremism.

Jon addresses controversies surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, examining three questions: Was Kirk a Christian or political martyr? Were Israel or Jewish interests involved? Was he converting to Roman Catholicism?  Kirk is framed as a political martyr, targeted for conservative stances on gender, marriage, and crime, increasingly tied to his evangelical faith post-2020.  Evidence suggests the shooter, Tyler Robinson, acted on leftist ideologies, not foreign conspiracies, with no professional marksman traits. Claims of Israeli involvement lack evidence and are deemed implausible, given Kirk’s pro-Israel stance and the strategic folly of such a plot. Jon critiques speculation about Kirk’s Catholic conversion, notably from Candace Owens, as insensitive and unverified, contradicting his public evangelical statements and pastor’s rebuttals.  Jon urges respect for Kirk’s grieving family, especially Erica, and condemn divisive rumors. Jon also warn against ideological scapegoating, particularly of Jewish communities, advocating for fact-based critique and bold gospel-sharing to honor Kirk’s legacy.

What If My Pastor Didn't Address Charlie's Assassination Correctly? Moral Clarity: A pastor swayed by media over scripture (e.g., focusing on George Floyd but silent on Charlie Kirk) may lack sound judgment. Consider finding a new church. Application Matters: Apolitical pastors who avoid applying scripture to real-world grief (like Kirk’s murder) fail to shepherd effectively. Pastors should comfort and affirm clear moral lines. Courageous Leadership: A pastor avoiding controversy out of fear or partisanship is a weak shepherd. Truth must be spoken boldly. Engage First: Talk to your pastor before leaving. Understand their approach. Grace, Not Haste: Pastors aren’t politicians. If they try addressing issues, even imperfectly, extend grace.

Full video and PowerPoint: https://www.patreon.com/posts/138250030 In this episode of the Anglo-American Conservative Books Series, we dive into the Anti-Federalist Papers, a critical yet often overlooked voice in America’s founding. The Anti-Federalists, including figures like Patrick Henry, George Clinton, and Elbridge Gerry, opposed the stronger central government proposed by the Constitution, advocating instead for decentralized power and individual liberties. Often mislabeled, they were the true federalists, warning of the risks posed by a powerful federal government. Their prescient critiques led to the inclusion of the Bill of Rights and cemented their place in America’s decentralist, conservative tradition.
