Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode of Worldview Legacy Today, Joel Settecase issues a rallying cry to Christian men: become the dangerous, wise, and biblical leaders your families and churches need.We begin with a bold vision for the Hammer & Anvil Society—a discipleship brotherhood equipping Christian men to sharpen their minds, deepen their theology, and step up as spiritual leaders. Joel then walks through Proverbs 1, calling men to pursue wisdom rooted in the fear of the Lord.From there, we zoom out to the global persecution of Christians, especially in Nigeria, where 1,200 churches are destroyed annually. Joel brings both scripture and clarity to the topic of persecution, and explains why Christians must not only pray for the persecuted—but also for the persecutors.You’ll also hear Joel's real-world evangelism story from the sauna at his gym, as he shares a powerful encounter that included a challenge to Christian hypocrisy and a rebuttal of the myth that Christianity has caused the most deaths in history.Finally, we tackle the metaphysical foundations of the Christian worldview—unity and diversity in the Trinity—and why only biblical Christianity can solve the “problem of the one and the many.”🧠 Topics Covered:The urgent call to build Christian legacy & leadershipWhy we launched the Hammer & Anvil SocietyHow Proverbs calls men to pursue wisdom dailyThe reality of persecution: Nigeria’s crisis and our call to pray https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266803/christian-persecution-in-nigeria-1200-churches-destroyed-annually-hundreds-killed What it means to love your enemies and pray for persecutorsA gym evangelism story: debating belief, knowledge & pluralismDebunking the “Christianity caused more deaths” mythJust war theory vs. Islamic jihad: What’s consistent with faith?Why America needs dangerous men again https://stream.org/why-america-needs-dangerous-men-again/ Understanding Christian metaphysics, DEI, and the TrinityLive Q&A with listeners on persecution, knowledge, and culture📖 Key Scriptures:Proverbs 1:1–72 Timothy 3:12John 15:18James 1:2–4Matthew 5:44Ephesians 6Genesis 1:1John 14:6Colossians 2:3Romans 3:23 & John 3:16🎯 Call to Action:🚹 Join the Hammer & Anvil Society A discipleship brotherhood for Christian men who want to grow in worldview, family discipleship, and apologetics.
