In today's special Episode, guest hosts Tamice Spencer-Helms (⁠Black Modern Mystic⁠), ⁠Ciarra Jones⁠, and ⁠Brian Recker⁠ take over the Tim and April Show to dig into Christian nationalism and masculinity — starting with Doug Wilson's case for repealing women's suffrage and "household voting," then tracing how a hyper-masculinized, muscle-bound Jesus shows up from Mark Driscoll's early-2000s "UFC prize fighter Jesus" through pastor Martin Iscara's viral "Jesus had a six-pack" clip, and landing on Pete Hegseth's Pentagon testosterone-testing policy.
