It's in the Code ep 189: “Jesus Isn’t An Alpha”

About this episode

The episode discusses how Josh Hawley's vision of masculinity is not distinctly Christian, despite his Christian nationalist credentials.

Despite his promises, Josh Hawley’s vision of masculinity and masculine virtue is not “Christian” in any definable way. But while this may be surprising, given his Christian nationalist credentials, it actually serves the interests of his ideology not to be distinctly Christian? In what senses? What can be gained by ensuring that claims to “Christian masculinity” aren’t actually Christian? Join Dan for this week’s episode as he explains.
