“I hope everyone is enjoying the podcast that no one is allowed to admit they listen to.”
When temptation arrives, it rarely announces itself. Instead, it speaks like a familiar friend. It preys on our vanity, arrogance, and curiosity—buttons it knows how to push only too well.
The tweet quoted above was my temptation, posted by an acquaintance early in 2024. As the host of a podcast, I was confident the tweet wasn’t referencing my show. Instead, it referred to a podcast whose name you might not know, though you’ve felt its impact: Stone Choir.
What unfolded over the following months would become one of the most humbling and sanctifying episodes of my life and career. Only by God’s mercy and grace does anyone care what I have to say today.
I have nothing to offer God that can express my gratitude to Him. Only a willingness to share the story in the prayer that it may help fathers and faith leaders rescue other young men from a soul-destroying web of online associations.
Before the Lord has to. Read more»

I’m perplexed by the conclusion of this article, where the author states, “my audience has grown, and great men (like Pastor Doug Wilson)—with a link to Wilson’s dougwils.com—! have come to my defence in the public square.”
The author is in Wilson’s denomination, the CREC. I and others have been seeing the same things online, that young men are being attracted to neo-Nazi ideology and rhetoric.
Some advocates of Christian Nationalism have adopted “blood and soil” (Nazi) rhetoric.
I discovered this for myself when I began researching that movement. I found a a 1939 article describing the phenomenon and then saw the same language in a prominent book advocating CN. It was an eye opener.
Then there was this (Twitter/X) thread by Jake Meador
I’m sharing the Christ Over All link with several folks in my church. I prefaced the link with: “Small wonder that memories of numerous antisemitic words and actions I’ve experienced over the decades flare when reading the following, especially since I’ve encountered veiled/outright antisemitism both inside and out of church/parachurch walls. So much for Paul declaring that there’s neither Jew nor Gentile, and that the “wall of hostility/separation” has been torn down. Clearly many folks out there are dirtying their hands with brick, mortar…and broken glass.”
May many of this ilk repent…and see His light. MARANATHA!
