How Christian Men Are Being Pulled Into Holocaust Denial | Hitler Hated Christ
Hitler Hated Christ has spent the better part of a decade compiling primary historical sources documenting Adolf Hitler's hostility toward Christ and Christianity, and refuting the Holocaust denial and revisionism circulating in dissident-right and online hyper-nationalist Christian spaces.He runs the Substack Hitler Hated Christ, the YouTube channel @NotOurGuy, and engages daily on X under the same name. He works under a pseudonym for reasons that should be obvious after listening.In this conversation we build an affirmative case for the historical reality of the Holocaust. Not to score points. Not to call everyone a Nazi. To assemble the documents, speeches, diaries, and photographs into a picture so clear that the memes don't survive contact with the evidence.We trace Hitler's racial antisemitism from Mein Kampf through Nazi state policy, examine the means, motive, and opportunity behind the Holocaust, and address the most common denialist talking points head-on. We also discuss the spiritual cost of doing this work, why the "Hitler was a Christian Prince" myth has gained traction among self-identified Christian men, and why pastors who launder this material no longer deserve the title.If you care about young men and the future of the church, this material is essential listening.⭐️ VIDEOS MENTIONED IN MONOLOGUE ⭐️Why People Deny the Holocaust and How We Know It Actually Happenedhttps://youtu.be/xDwgd1YUQM8?si=6DtmCf9YlvMdulJqMartinezPolitics and David Colehttps://youtu.be/MgPcx5tNZW8?si=RpH2pABe38krEOQuStone Choir and the Big Lie Lieshttps://youtu.be/SFz5pDQdOp0?si=F5H4NelaqjhOYNDOTOPICS DISCUSSEDWhy "Hitler was a Christian Prince" is a lie that doesn't survive contact with Mein KampfThe pantheistic worship of nature underneath Nazi racial ideologyHow the gassing motif appeared in Nazi rhetoric fifteen years before the campsThe 1933 Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary DiseasesThe Wannsee Conference and the architecture of the Final SolutionWhy "liquidation" in the Goebbels diaries means exactly what it sounds likeThe "extermination ghetto" as an internal Nazi administrative categoryHow David Irving conceded gassings and mass killing — and what's left of denialism after thatWhy Holocaust denial in Germany is rare among neo-Nazis (they don't deny it; they celebrate it)The spiritual cost of engaging this material, and why the body of Christ is essential to itGUEST LINKSHitler Hated Christ on Substack — https://hitlerhatedchrist.comYouTube — @NotOurGuyX — @not_our_guyThe Will Spencer Podcast was formerly known as "The Renaissance of Men."EXITING THE NEW AGE COURSEI spent twenty years in the New Age.

Why Good Men Lose Their Minds Over the Jewish Question — Christopher Kuehl
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.

The Pagan Religion Inside Reformed Christianity | Black Sun Session 6
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.

God Can't Become A Man? Maimonides, Kabbalah, and the Jewish Case Against Jesus — Dr. Brian Crawford (Part 2)
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.

Unreached in America: Jewish Evangelism, the Talmud, and Messianic Judaism — Dr. Brian J. Crawford (Part 1)
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.
