A Peculiar Traditionalism
Nancy Pearcey has been doing some research on the masculinity crisis, and she offered this particular piece of information which rings true that I had not heard put into such simple terms: In response to my comment about this, she followed up with a much more detailed breakdown of how we got to where we…
On Productivity Culture
Used to read a lot of business and productivity books. Didn’t matter if the authors were Christians or not, everything was about how to wring every moment out to get as much productivity as possible. If you weren’t working, you were wasting your time. These used to be very easy for me to read, and…
Min/Max Masculinity
The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own,’ or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life — the life God is sending one day by day. C.S. Lewis “Min/max” is a term used…
The Apology of Aristides – A Survey
This is part of a series considering the writings of Christians before the Council of Nicaea. More details on what this is all about here, along with a growing table of contents. Having myself been emboldened in my faith by Christian philosophers and apologists, what better place to start this project of reading the Ante-Nicene…

My family was close, my parents loved me and each other, and life was joy. I have few sad memories from childhood that were…
Shameless Plug
I have no idea whether this is worth the few minutes of extra effort yet, but I’ve started a parallel Substack. Feel free to subscribe if you prefer that ecosystem. For now, the two will be kept in sync.
To Plan a Day
Yesterday afternoon, my youngest son discovered a lake. Not a big lake, and truthfully it wasn’t even the first time he had seen it. He had even taken the same walking path from our home last year, and we had driven to the park over the summer a few times. This was the first time…
Coming Soon
Hello again. It’s uncommon for me to take so much time between posts, but over the summer and early fall I was so busy working on a side hustle and with family that many other projects took a hit, this blog not least. I’m active on Twitter now that I’ve been released from my cage,…
We’re All Feminists Now
Who knew that the patriarchal view of sexual ethics and gendered piety is that the world oppressed women until we were enlightened 150 years ago and have only grown more enlightened since? If you suggest to patriarchal/trad women on Twitter that maybe women aren’t equipped for polemics and overt cultural warfare in the same way…
