Is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and boys in culture today? Or, is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times. My guest today, Pastor Douglas Wilson, makes the case that it’s a combination of both and, more accurately, than “modern times,” a result of “wealthy times.” And, if that is the case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children and this world?
Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.
Today, I’m joined by Pastor Douglas Wilson, author, theologian, and cultural commentator. As the senior minister at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, Doug has shaped a movement that spans a classical Christian school, a liberal arts college, and a publishing ministry.
He’s penned over 40 books (including one of my favorites, Future Men), founded institutions like Logos School and Canon Press, and sparked national dialogue—whether through his defense of Christian education, his fiery debates in Collision with Christopher Hitchens, or his bold cultural convictions.
Doug is also the host of Man Rampant, a Canon Plus original series which just released season 7.
In a world that pushes isolation and rewards surface-level connection, too many men walk alone—disconnected, discouraged, and directionless. But men were never meant to fight their battles in silence. Brotherhood is more than camaraderie—it's a lifeline. It's a tribe of men who challenge, sharpen, and call each other to more. Without it, we drift. With it, we grow. Real brotherhood holds you accountable, reminds you of your purpose, and doesn’t let you stay stuck in mediocrity.That’s exactly what the Iron Council provides. It’s not just a community—it’s a battle-tested brotherhood of men committed to forging discipline, strength, and leadership together. Inside, you’ll find structured accountability, a proven framework for personal growth, and men who will call you out and call you up. If you're ready to stop going it alone, to step into challenge, and to build the kind of life you were meant for—this is where it begins. Welcome to the brotherhood.
Free tools, tactics and techniques to help you be the man you were meant to be.
