Doug Wilson: Scandal Exclusive, Patriarchy, CNN, and A.I.

A wide-ranging conversation with Pastor Doug Wilson (Christ Church, Moscow; Canon Press) on the church scandal no one has talked about, the new DC church plant, Puritan practicality, pastoral care in hard cases, the “Moscow Mood,” classical Christian education, reaction videos & media, Baptists/theonomy (1689 Confession), Dabney & reading history, debating atheists, and the next decade’s biggest challenge for the church (AI, biotech, transhumanism). Joined in-studio by Pastor Lance English.
