Christopher Kuehl has spent nearly two decades watching how Christians lose their bearings over the question of Israel and the Jewish people.Christopher has traveled to more than thirty countries, lived in Israel multiple times, worked as a photographer for Sony and Rolling Stone, and founded four technology companies. He is currently earning his master's degree in theology and serves as COO of Restore7 and founder of Present Witness, a ministry addressing modern theological questions around Israel, the Jewish people, and the church.Christopher is the author of Is God a Zionist? Finding God's Story in a World Obsessed with Israel.In this conversation we explore why good men and women lose their minds over the Jewish question, how antisemitism captures its adherents and becomes the gravity around which everything spins, and why the modern state of Israel has become a theological flashpoint the church cannot afford to handle carelessly. We also discuss the shared pre-Jesus seeking path that led both Christopher and me through Burning Man, ayahuasca, and the New Age before we found Christ — and why the New Age cannot syncretize the Old Testament.If you've watched friends or family fall into obsessive antisemitism, or you're trying to make sense of Israel theologically, this conversation offers a framework for thinking clearly.👉 Exiting the New Age — A course for people leaving the New Age and those who love them:https://willspencer.co/exit👉 Mentorship for men:https://willspencer.co/mentorshipTOPICS DISCUSSEDThe scapegoating pattern across historyWhy October 7th was a break point for the churchHow antisemitism captures and consumes its adherentsThe New Age connection to modern antisemitismThe shared pre-Jesus seeking path through Burning Man, ayahuasca, and the New AgeWhat the church fathers assumed about Jewish exile — and why 1948 changed everythingE.

This isn't Reformed. It's a prison cell. A convicted murderer rewrote the Beatitudes with Thor's hammer, ran a publishing house from federal prison, and his ideas are now circulating in Reformed Christian spaces. Black Sun Session 6.In this episode, Will Spencer covers Chapter 13 of Black Sun by historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke — Nordic Racial Paganism — and traces the direct line from white supremacist ideology into the modern Reformed world.Three figures anchor the chapter. Wyatt Kaldenberg, who called Christianity the theology of self-hatred and said the Holocaust should be celebrated, not denied. Jost Turner, a Vietnam vet who built a National Socialist commune in Northern California where he practiced swastika-posture yoga directed by a supposedly immortal Himalayan guru toward white racial evolution. And David Lane — convicted murderer, author of the 14 words, who died in prison serving 190 years and whose 14 Word Press published the first English edition of Miguel Serrano's esoteric Hitlerist theology.Will documents how the number 1183 — modeled on Lane's 1488 — appeared on Christmas ornaments alongside Stephen Wolfe's book cover, produced by Ethan Holden of the Jolly Brawler. He addresses the silence of Reformed pastors and influencers who have never asked why these men feel at home in their orbit. And he walks through Carl Jung's 1960 warning that the weakness of orthodox Christianity creates the conditions for the pagan Wotan archetype to erupt again.Purchase Black Sun by Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeAmazon - https://a.co/d/06mG32IXTOPICS COVEREDWhy every successor to Hitler rejected ChristianityKaldenberg, Turner, and Lane: three faces of Nordic racial paganismDavid Lane's 14 Word Press and the Serrano connectionWotan as a substitute Yahweh — father god without the crossBiblical Christianity vs. the Übermensch mind1488 to 1183: from white supremacists to Reformed ChristiansThe Holden brothers, Stephen Wolfe, and Pastor Brian SauvéCarl Jung's 1960 warning about the Wotan archetypeWarrant for Genocide announcement and next book clubNazi Ecology and the paganization of GermanyVolkishness in Reformed circlesFrancis Parker Yockey and culture distortion theorySteve McNallen and the Asatru Free Assembly fractureDavid Lane's biography, the 14 words, and the rewritten BeatitudesJoel Webbon and the 14 words in the Reformed worldJung's Wotan essay and the eruption of the archetypeThe volkisch problem: why you can't scrape off the paganismBOOKS MENTIONEDBlack Sun — Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeWarrant for Genocide — Norman CohnThe Plot — Will EisnerA Rumor About the Jews — Stephen Eric BronnerAntisemite and Jew — Jean-Paul SartreIn Search of Anti-Semitism — William F.

Dr. Brian J. Crawford is the Director of Digital Evangelism for Chosen People Ministries and the author of The Scandal of a Divine Messiah: A Response to Maimonidean and Kabbalistic Challenges to the Incarnation. This is part two of two.In part one, Brian shared his 20-year journey from a beach in Tel Aviv to the streets of Orthodox Brooklyn. In this episode, we get into his book — and the two philosophical traditions that have walled Jewish people off from considering Jesus as Messiah for centuries.The first is Maimonides, the towering 12th-century Jewish philosopher who used Aristotelian logic to argue that it is metaphysically impossible for God to take on human flesh. The second is Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition rooted in Neoplatonism and Gnosticism, which argues the incarnation is redundant because everything is already divine.Brian explains how both traditions imported Greek philosophical ideas into Judaism — often without realizing it — and how those ideas, not the Hebrew scriptures, became the real foundation for Jewish objections to Jesus. In this conversation we discuss:Why Orthodox Jews consider the incarnation idolatrousHow Maimonides used Aristotle to argue God cannot become manHow Kabbalah's Neoplatonic mysticism makes the incarnation redundantThe hidden Greek philosophical foundations of Orthodox JudaismHow the New Testament uses Greek categories without importing Greek errorsWhy Brian kept the New Testament out of the first two-thirds of his bookThe incarnation as the singular crossover between God and the worldHow the book has been received by Orthodox Jewish readersBrian's current PhD work on Maimonides' 13 PrinciplesBook recommendations for Reformed Christians on Israel🔥 MEN'S GROUP — 3 SEATS OPENReformed Christian men.

Dr. Brian J. Crawford is the Director of Digital Evangelism for Chosen People Ministries, which has been evangelizing Jewish people for more than 130 years. He is also the author of The Scandal of a Divine Messiah: A Response to Maimonidean and Kabbalistic Challenges to the Incarnation.In 2005, a Jewish man on a Tel Aviv beach told Brian he had no business explaining the Hebrew Bible to Jews. That challenge sent a structural engineer from Southern California on a 20-year journey into the heart of Orthodox Brooklyn — learning Hebrew, studying the Talmud, and building relationships with one of the most unreached people groups in America.👉 Biblical mentorship for men: https://willspencer.co/mentorshipTopics DiscussedHow a stranger's challenge launched Brian's calling to Jewish missionsWhat the Talmud actually is and why most Christians misunderstand itThe lost history of Jewish sub-denominations within Protestant churchesHow 20th century liberalism killed Jewish evangelismWhy becoming a Christian historically meant dying as a JewMartin Luther's antisemitism vs. Puritan philosemitismWhy Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn are an unreached people groupThis is part one of two.

This isn't fringe. It's in your feed. White power music, Nazi Satanism, and a fake Christian theology are targeting young men — and most churches can't see it. Black Sun Session 5.In this episode, Will Spencer walks through three of the darkest chapters in Black Sun by historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke — and connects each one to what is spreading online right now.Chapter 10 documents how neo-Nazis deliberately infiltrated youth music culture to radicalize alienated young men — through concerts, recordings, and fan magazines. The delivery mechanism has changed. The strategy has not.Chapter 11 goes deeper. Behind the skinhead bands lurked an international network of extremist groups practicing ritual magic, invoking Hitler as a satanic archetype, and writing guidelines for human sacrifice as spiritual initiation. This is where the will to power, stripped of all moral constraint, actually ends.Chapter 12 — Christian Identity — should disturb Christians most. It is a theological system claiming white Aryans are the true Israel, Jews are the literal offspring of Satan, and every non-white person is a pre-Adamic "mud person." It wraps racial hatred in biblical language — and its ideas are bleeding into Christian spaces today through podcasters and influencers who may not know where their language comes from.Will also announces the next book club selection: Warrant for Genocide by Norman Cohn, the definitive history of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion — a forged document that has poisoned minds for over a century and is still circulating today.Purchase Black Sun by Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeAmazon - https://a.co/d/06mG32IXTopics CoveredThe transition from Lucifer to Satan in post-war neo-NazismHow neo-Nazis infiltrated youth music as deliberate strategyBronze Age Pervert and social Darwinism laundered into memesColumbine and the black metal undergroundCrowley, LaVey, and Aquino: three types of SatanismDavid Myatt, the Order of Nine Angles, and human sacrificeChristian Identity: British Israelism corrupted by the ProtocolsThe serpent seed doctrine and pre-Adamic "mud people"Robert Matthews, the Order, and the Brinks robberyBen Klassen, the Church of the Creator, and RAHOWAWhy self-marginalizing communities incubate extremismThe Protocols of the Elders of Zion: still circulating todayAbout the Book ClubThe Book Club is a private reading group where we work through serious books slowly and carefully — not for hot takes or outrage, but for Christian spiritual and intellectual formation.Learn more and join here:https://www.willspencer.blog/7a2894cdMentorshipIf you're interested in working together, you can book a clarity call here:https://willspencer.co/mentorshipThe Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."EXITING THE NEW AGE COURSEI spent twenty years in the New Age.

What looks like conspiracy theories or internet extremism often has deeper roots.In this episode, Will Spencer explores Nazi mysticism, Esoteric Hitlerism, and the occult mythology that emerged around Nazi UFOs after World War II.This session is part of his Book Club reading of Black Sun by historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, examining how Nazi ideology survived defeat by transforming itself into a mystical religious system.The discussion traces the development of post-war Nazi mythology — from secret SS bases and UFO conspiracies to the elaborate spiritual cosmology created by Chilean diplomat Miguel Serrano.Serrano’s doctrine, known as Esoteric Hitlerism, blended Nazism with Hindu mythology, Jungian archetypes, Gnosticism, occult initiation, and extraterrestrial cosmology. In this system, Hitler becomes an avatar figure in a cosmic spiritual struggle.Understanding these ideas matters because they reveal something often misunderstood in modern discourse: many extremist movements are not merely political.They are religious.Purchase Black Sun by Nicholas Goodrick-ClarkeThe book examined in this series.Amazon - https://a.co/d/06mG32IXTopics CoveredHow Nazi mythology survived defeat after World War IIWilhelm Landig and the creation of polar-base mythologyThe origins of Nazi UFO conspiracy literatureThe fusion of Nazism with occult cosmologyMiguel Serrano and the creation of “Esoteric Hitlerism”Hindu mythology, Jungian archetypes, and Gnostic cosmologyHitler as a divine avatar figureHow political extremism transformed into mystical religionAbout the Book ClubThe Book Club is a private reading group where we work through serious books slowly and carefully — not for hot takes or outrage, but for Christian spiritual and intellectual formation.Learn more and join here:https://www.willspencer.blog/7a2894cdMentorshipIf you're interested in working together, you can book a clarity call here:https://willspencer.co/mentorshipThe Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."EXITING THE NEW AGE COURSEI spent twenty years in the New Age.

How do Christians remain faithful when suspicion, conspiracy narratives, and cultural pressure reshape how they see Israel, history, and their neighbors?In this episode, I speak with Luke Moon — pastor, activist, and one of our guides during a recent study trip to Israel — about the religious, historical, and cultural tensions shaping how Christians understand Israel, the Jewish people, and their own faith.Our conversation moves beyond headlines and memes to examine the deeper spiritual and intellectual currents influencing Christian thought today: conspiracy thinking, historical distortion, loss of charity, and the subtle ways ideological narratives reshape how believers read Scripture and relate to others.Drawing from firsthand experience in Israel, Luke shares how travel, relationships, and serious engagement with history changed his own views — and why many Christians today find themselves pulled toward suspicion, hostility, and simplified explanations for complex realities.This is not a political conversation. It is a conversation about formation: how Christians think, what shapes their convictions, and how drift in one area of belief often spreads into others.In this episodeWhy travel and firsthand investigation challenge inherited narrativesThe relationship between Christianity, Israel, and Jewish historyHow conspiracy thinking reshapes theological imaginationThe psychological and spiritual roots of hostility within Christian spacesThe role of scripture, tradition, and historical awareness in resisting driftHow ideological narratives influence discipleship, family leadership, and personal directionAbout Luke MoonLuke Moon is a Christian pastor and activist involved in religious and political advocacy, with extensive experience engaging the religious landscape of Israel and the broader Middle East. His work focuses on the intersection of faith, public life, and Christian engagement with Israel and Jewish communities.https://2hammers.com/MentorshipIf this conversation surfaced questions about your own formation — how you think, what shapes your convictions, or where you may have drifted without realizing it — I offer one-on-one mentorship oriented toward clarity, direction, and spiritual formation rooted in Scripture.The next step is a clarity call: a short conversation to explore where you are and whether working together makes sense.Book a Clarity Call: https://willspencer.co/mentorshipBook ClubIn my private Book Club, we read difficult and formative books slowly and seriously in community.We're currently finishing Black Sun by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, a study of the occult and ideological currents that shaped modern extremism.

Dr. J. Stephen Yuille joins Will Spencer for a conversation on one of the most misunderstood traditions in Christian history: the Puritans.Often caricatured as cold moralists, the Puritans were in fact pastors of the heart — “physicians of the soul” who endured suffering, cultivated the affections, and pursued holiness with seriousness that still challenges believers today.In this episode we explore Puritan spirituality, the role of suffering in spiritual formation, mentorship across generations, and the importance of devotional reading from past centuries. We also discuss why many modern Christians instinctively sense something missing in contemporary faith and how the Puritan tradition offers a deeper inheritance.If you are seeking a faith that is thoughtful, lived, and capable of bearing the weight of suffering, this conversation offers a rich introduction to Puritan theology and spirituality.Mentorship and clarity for men: https://willspencer.co/mentorshipTopics DiscussedThe Puritans and the life of the affectionsPastors as “physicians of the soul”Suffering and spiritual formationMentorship across generationsDevotional reading and learning from “dead men”GUEST LINKSReformation Heritage Books — https://www.rhb.orgThe Heart Taken Up - BUY HEREHoly Meditation by Thomas Manton - BUY HERERESOURCES MENTIONEDGeorge Swinnock — The Blessed and Boundless GodPuritan Treasures for Today BundleThe Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."EXITING THE NEW AGE COURSEI spent twenty years in the New Age.
