Ep. 386 - Cultural Christianity

Only true Christians can make a Christian Culture.

Cultural Christianity is bad in the Church, but really good in society. If that is true, then we need real christians in church producing culture that impacts society. We can’t have fake christians and deists as our only ambassadors to the world. They will fail because they don’t know Christ. They don’t have the Holy Spirit within them. They don’t have the Father’s favor.

Introduction (00:00:00 - 00:02:09)

  • Opening Dialogue: The hosts engage in a brief, cryptic exchange about spiritual and metaphysical questions, referencing a psychologist’s inability to address good and evil without Jesus as the answer.

  • Podcast Welcome (00:01:05): Introduction to the Kingsplaining Podcast, self-described as the "I Told You Show," hosted by the two kings of the "Rube Empire."

    • Hosts introduce themselves as right-wing extremists, supernaturalists, and Christian bigots with a humorous tone.

    • Philosopher King: Claims 51% of the power, resides in the "Ivory Tower," and shares a satirical rumor about nicotine and caffeine producing protein.

    • Strong One: The "people’s champ," references missing "Dusty" (a recurring figure), and emphasizes his grounded perspective.

  • Episode Setup: The hosts express readiness to dive into controversial topics with their signature unfiltered style.


Segment 1: Marriage and Public Perception (00:02:09 - 00:08:12)

  • Topic: Marital disputes and public image, with a focus on French President Emmanuel Macron’s alleged altercation with his spouse.

  • Key Points:

    • The hosts discuss their long marriages (15 and 19 years) and how time flies in a fulfilling relationship.

    • They pivot to a hypothetical marital dispute scenario, emphasizing the importance of resolving conflicts privately, especially under public scrutiny.

    • A controversial anecdote about Macron being “manhandled” by his “he-wife” (a derogatory reference to his spouse, Brigitte Macron) before exiting a plane, highlighting the embarrassment of public disputes.

    • Reference to Candace Owens’ podcast, which claims Brigitte Macron is transgender, sparking a discussion about media narratives and public perception.

    • Comparison to Donald Trump’s advice (from an interview with Elon Musk) to resolve disputes before facing the press, contrasting Macron’s embarrassment with Trump’s media savvy.

  • Themes:

    • Public image and political optics.

    • Gender roles and traditional masculinity.

    • Criticism of progressive narratives and media manipulation.


Segment 2: Atheism and Jordan Peterson’s Debate (00:08:12 - 00:29:15)

  • Topic: Jordan Peterson’s debate with 20 atheists and his inability to defend a Christian worldview.

  • Key Points:

    • The hosts mock atheists’ selective outrage against Christianity (Yahweh) while ignoring other religions like Buddhism or Islam, suggesting atheists target truth (Jesus).

    • Discussion of Peterson’s intellectualism, labeling him a “king of gobbledygook” who relies on psychological archetypes rather than affirming Jesus as the divine truth.

    • Critique of Peterson’s deist stance and failure to embrace Christianity fully, referencing his recent interviews and a podcast with John Rich (of Big & Rich).

    • The hosts argue that truth and reality are symbiotic, and atheism (like Peterson’s intellectualism) abandons both by rejecting God.

    • Comparison to other intellectuals (e.g., Thomas Sowell, G.K. Chesterton) who critique over-educated “imbecility” and scientism (e.g., Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye).

    • Anecdote about Destiny (a streamer) taking his son to Auschwitz to counter Holocaust skepticism, illustrating the futility of arguing without a foundation in truth.

  • Themes:

    • Rejection of intellectualism without faith.

    • Defense of Christian truth as the ultimate reality.

    • Critique of atheism and scientism as grounded in denial.


Segment 3: Cultural Shifts in Music and Media (00:21:30 - 00:24:11)

  • Topic: The decline of positive music and its psychological impact.

  • Key Points:

    • The Strong One shares a study claiming 99% of 1980s and 1990s music had positive lyrics (e.g., Def Leppard, Run DMC), compared to only 12% today.

    • Discussion of how modern music is formulaic, robotic, and degenerate, contributing to cultural decay.

    • Brief tangent about the hosts’ music preferences (grunge, metal, country) and a humorous debate about rap as a “psyop” funded by undisclosed entities.

  • Themes:

    • Cultural degradation through media.

    • Nostalgia for positive cultural influences.

    • Suspicion of corporate agendas in entertainment.


Segment 4: Toxic Masculinity and Political Alienation (01:28:10 - 01:39:19)

  • Topic: The Democratic Party’s alienation of young men and the concept of toxic masculinity.

  • Key Points:

    • The hosts argue that Democrats have demonized masculinity, rewarding “feminine” boys and punishing natural male behavior, leading to resentment.

    • Critique of media and education (unionized, Democratic teachers) for promoting “toxic masculinity” narratives and undermining traditional gender roles.

    • Discussion of a failed Democratic campaign ad featuring “burly” men supporting Kamala Harris, mocked as inauthentic and “zesty” (a slang term for effeminate behavior).

    • Assertion that men have a “gaydar” (instinctual disgust toward homosexuality), backed by a cited study claiming 98% of men react negatively to same-sex displays.

    • Advice to Democrats: To regain male support, they must embrace America-first policies, traditional families, and stop promoting progressive ideals (e.g., abortion, transgenderism).

  • Themes:

    • Defense of traditional masculinity.

    • Political polarization and male disenfranchisement.

    • Rejection of progressive social policies.


Segment 5: Entertainment as a Cultural Wake-Up Call (01:39:19 - 01:46:57)

  • Topic: The role of entertainment in awakening men to cultural decline.

  • Key Points:

    • The hosts pinpoint the “woke” overhaul of entertainment (e.g., Star Wars, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Screw Your Freedoms” comment) as a turning point for men rejecting progressive narratives.

    • Examples include Luke Skywalker’s emasculation, Rose Tico’s arc in The Last Jedi, and sports controversies (e.g., NFL kneeling, pink shoes for breast cancer awareness).

    • Argument that men initially tolerated progressive changes to please women but rebelled when their heroes were vilified, stripping them of aspirational myths.

    • Connection to broader cultural hatred of masculinity and Christianity, driving men toward traditional values and faith.

  • Themes:

    • Cultural betrayal through entertainment.

    • Reclamation of masculine archetypes.

    • Spiritual awakening through cultural pushback.


Segment 6: Embracing Christian Extremism and the Overton Window (01:47:00 - 01:58:08)

  • Topic: Rejecting compromise and embracing a radical Christian identity.

  • Key Points:

    • The Strong One declares himself a “right-wing Christian nationalist extremist,” inspired by Kanye West’s song “Hail Hitler,” which he interprets as a defiant response to being labeled evil for wanting to see his children.

    • Critique of the Overton window as skewed toward Satan, with cultural Christianity unfairly demonized by figures like Tim Keller.

    • Defense of cultural Christianity outside the church as a net positive, preventing societal ills like transgenderism, abortion, and “sodomy” celebration.

    • Rejection of seeker-sensitive compromise, advocating for unapologetic Christian truth to shame wickedness and restore societal norms.

    • Examples of being demonized for rejecting COVID narratives (masks, vaccines) and public schools as “dens of Satan.”

    • Call to run toward Jesus without meeting the world halfway, citing Psalms 4:7-8 for peace and safety in God alone.

  • Themes:

    • Uncompromising Christian faith.

    • Reclamation of cultural Christianity.

    • Defiance against secular labels and norms.


Closing (01:58:08 - 01:59:58)

  • Prayer (01:58:13): The Philosopher King prays for empowerment to speak truth, avoid cultural Christianity in the church, and foster a national Christian culture through the Holy Spirit.

  • Outro (01:59:27):

    • Reiteration of the podcast as the “I Told You Show” and home of the “Rube Empire,” where taxes are voluntary, and the hosts serve Jesus.

    • Call to action: Like, share, subscribe, buy merchandise, and support the show at Kingsplaining.com.

    • Sign-off: “Peace out. God bless.”

  • “Truth and reality are symbiotic. They have to be together. You can’t have truth without reality.” (00:19:15)

  • “I want liberty because that’s what Christ died on the cross for. Freedom from sin.” (00:52:26)

Themes and Tone

  • Core Themes: Defense of traditional masculinity, unapologetic Christian faith, rejection of progressive ideologies, and critique of cultural compromise.

  • Tone: Provocative, irreverent, and confrontational, with frequent use of humor, sarcasm, and derogatory language to challenge secular norms and “woke” culture.

Additional Notes

  • The podcast frequently references pop culture (e.g., Star Wars, Arnold Schwarzenegger) and political figures (e.g., Trump, Macron, Obama) to ground its arguments.

  • The hosts’ self-described “extremism” is framed as a biblical mandate to reject compromise with a sinful world.

  • The show’s unfiltered style is acknowledged as potentially shocking to “normies” (mainstream listeners), with Dusty (a recurring figure) cited as a moderating influence.
