The True Myth

Fit for the Kingdom: Christian Fitness in an Age of Excess

Rise above complacency and reclaim your body as a tool for Kingdom impact. In a world ruled by comfort and overindulgence, believers are called to a higher standard—one of discipline, strength, and stewardship. Your body is not your own; it is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and how you care for it reflects your devotion to the One who made you. Let this serve as a charge to take your health seriously—not for vanity, but for vitality in service to Christ. A fit body strengthens a willing spirit. Let us train with purpose, run with endurance, and present ourselves as living sacrifices—ready and able to serve wherever God calls. The Kingdom needs warriors, not bystanders. It's time to get up, get disciplined, and get fit—for His glory.

Anchoring Truth: Christian Education in an Age of Secular Confusion

“Let us not fool ourselves - without Christianity, without Christian education, without the principles of Christ inculcated into young life, we are simply rearing pagans.” -Peter Marshall In this episode, we dive into the urgent need for Christians to reclaim the education of their children, grounding them in biblical truth rather than the shifting sands of secular ideology. The modern education system has failed in many ways, shaping young minds with values that often stand in direct opposition to God’s Word. As parents, we must take back the responsibility of training our children—not just academically, but in all of life—so they can stand firm in their faith. Join us as we explore the necessity of distinctly Christian education in a world full of secular confusion.

Reclaiming Reverence: High Church Perspective in an Age of Casual Christianity

“True worship leads to a more full knowledge of self, God, heave, duty, doctrine, practice, and experience.” -J.C. Ryle As the modern world increasingly values comfort and convenience, we must reflect on the validity of our current worship practices. It goes without saying, God cares THAT we worship Him. Many self-proclaimed Christians, however, fail to ask the next natural question. Does God care HOW we worship? Scripture has much to say on this subject, and we would do well as a society to submit to God’s prescribed means of worship. As we begin to navigate these waters, we will see just how glorious true worship can be. Join us in this episode as we ask the question: What can the High Church perspective offer in an age of diminishing reverence? Resources for Further Study: * ⁠Thoughts for Young Men // J.C.

Clothing the Heart: The Beauty of Modesty in an Age of Appearance

“Just because you don’t know you’re saying something by your dress, doesn’t mean you’re not saying it.” - Doug Wilson Modern society has done much damage to the concept of modesty. In fact, much of modern society is foreign to the idea of modesty, both inwardly and outwardly. How are we, as Christians, to engage this topic? What does it look like practically? Why must this battle be fought? Resources for Further Study: * Fight Like a Man // E.Z.

Father Rule in a Feminist Age

“Most of our families are starving for fathers, even if Dad is around, and there’s a huge cost to our children and our society because of it.” -Doug Wilson // Father Hunger Modern culture knows little of biblical father-rule. In fact, modern culture would rather do away with it altogether. How do we, as ones who bear the image of the Perfect Father, embrace this battle? How do we encourage a faithful approach to manhood and womanhood in a world that wants nothing to do with such “narrow-minded, sexist, bigotry?”  The battle starts with understanding what God actually says about men, women, and their created order. Once we know our place, we can begin to shape the culture around us. The reality is, everyone is starving for this sort of life-giving order. They’re just looking in all the wrong places.
