Struggling with Singleness and Infertility During Christmas
Jon Harris offers encouragement to the growing number of singles – especially Gen-Z and Millennials approaching or past thirty – who dread the holidays because the spouse and children they long for are still nowhere in sight.Drawing from his own years of singleness and prolonged infertility, Jon refuses to give cheap platitudes or toxic “just be content” advice. Instead, he validates the very real grief of empty chairs at Christmas dinner, silent second bedrooms, and Hallmark movies that now sting.He reminds us that:- It’s normal and right to mourn good gifts that haven’t come yet - Church community and invitations help, but they don’t (and can’t) replace the family you don’t have - Counting it all joy doesn’t mean pretending the trial isn’t hard—it means trusting the Father’s mysterious, loving providence even while you weep - Jesus Himself knows singleness, rejection, and sorrow, and He entered this broken world at Christmas for the precise purpose of meeting you in yours.You’re not forgotten, you’re not failing, and you’re not alone—God sees every tear, and the One born in Bethlehem is still Emmanuel, God with us, even in the ache.“Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.” (Job 13:15)“In this world you will have tribulation—but take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)Order Against the Waves: Againstthewavesbook.comCheck out Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris?Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Consolidation Conspiracy: John Taylor's Critique of Nationalist Myth
In this third installment in the Anglo-American Conservative Book Series, Jon covers John Taylor of Caroline's 1823 work, "New Views of the Constitution of the United States," which critiques the shift from a federation of sovereign states to a consolidated national government. Taylor, a Revolutionary War veteran, Virginia politician, and friend of Jefferson and Madison, argued that the Constitution preserved state autonomy and rejected nationalist interpretations like those in Joseph Story's Commentaries or The Federalist Papers. He highlighted previously secret Convention debates, rejected proposals for federal supremacy over state laws, and warned against encroachments like federal assumption of debts, national banks, tariffs, and judicial overreach. Taylor emphasized federalism as key to American exceptionalism and cautioned that abandoning it would lead to despotism, drawing parallels to Rome, France, and England.PowerPoint: https://www.patreon.com/posts/145194421Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Right's Epistemology Crisis
The American Right is not merely “splitting” between MAGA and America First” or “populists vs. institutionalists.” Something far deeper and more dangerous is happening: a civilizational crisis over truth itself.Once, the Right united against a corrupt legacy media. Today, distrust has metastasized. Fox News is bleeding credibility, The Daily Wire is viewed with suspicion, and the loudest voices now belong to independent influencers who boast that we live in a “post-fact era” — and celebrate it.Candace Owens hosts the world’s biggest podcast by telling millions they’re being lied to by virtually everyone, then offers her own intuition (and fringe Freemason theories) as the escape hatch. Nick Fuentes is called “brilliant” simply for speaking fluently and without filler words. Professional standards, peer review, retractions, and institutional accountability are dismissed as tools of the elite that already failed us.A century ago, José Ortega y Gasset and Gustave Le Bon warned exactly what happens when masses lose faith in inherited standards yet prove incapable of replacing them: the triumph of the pseudo-intellectual, the vulgarization of public life, and the rise of leaders who impose opinions by force of will rather than reason.We are living in the world they foresaw.This episode asks the questions few on the Right want to face:If we reject both legacy media and the disciplined alternative institutions that tried to replace them, what is left? When sensationalism, transgression, and raw emotional appeal out-compete responsibility and accuracy, have we simply traded one form of manipulation for another? Can we rebuild trustworthy platforms, standards, and leadership without falling into either naïve institutionalism or cynical nihilism?Ultimately, the fragmentation of the Right is not just tactical or teleological — it is epistemological and spiritual. Shouting “Christ is King” while abandoning the very standards that once flowed from Christian civilization will not save us. Real restoration begins in local: in families, churches, schools, and communities that prioritize truth, virtue, and accountability over clicks, clout, and catharsis.A sober, urgent diagnosis of where the Right is — and a call to rebuild on ground that will actually hold.Order Against the Waves: Againstthewavesbook.comCheck out Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris?Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
