In this episode, host Rev. Chris Gordon is joined by the regular guest panel, Rev. Dr. Dan Borvan and Dr. R. Scott Clark, to discuss a vital and urgent threat showing up in the theological landscape: ethno-nationalism and kinism. Following recent statements and actions from several NAPARC denominations—including the URCNA, ARP, PCA, RPCNA, and OPC—the panel dissects the viral online subcultures pushing toxic racial essentialism, explicit antisemitism, and alt-right ideologies.
The conversation directly addresses how cultural backlashes against the “woke” movement have swung to an equally ungodly extreme, leading some young men into outright pagan Nordic Odin worship and historical heresies that deny the true humanity and Jewishness of Jesus Christ. Grounded in foundational doctrines like Genesis 1:26, the speakers call the church to reject “no enemies to the right” tribalism and dynamically exercise the keys of the kingdom through church discipline against anti-gospel racism.

I greatly appreciate this video. I’ve had some folks come through our church who have been captivated by the nonsense. The elders at a sister church nearby are dealing with a whole group of young men caught into this. I’m seeing it cause rifts within families, too. Seeing your thoughts has been very helpful. I’ve been, Franky, rather discouraged as I see more and more people fall to this. This is a far greater temptation to deviation than CRT for many in our circles since it comes offering a panacea to this things of which so many are afraid. That said, as I compile quotes for an upcoming sermon in 1 Timothy, I ran across this quote from Calvin in his (Banner of Truth printing, tr. Robert White, p. 204 ) sermons on 1 Timothy regarding 2:5-7:
Thank you Mark!

Thank you for the work you are putting in this. I wish that the time could be used in much more pleasant things but thank you for defending the faith.
