Adam Coleman

Christians in Name Only

Show Notes

Adam Coleman is a husband, father and author of The Children We Left Behind who speaks openly about fatherlessness, marriage and masculinity.

In this conversation, Coleman exposes the growing problem of Christians In Name Only (CINOs), where people weaponize Christian rhetoric without living out the faith, driving seekers away from Christ. The discussion challenges victim ideologies in both feminism and the Manosphere, reveals why online dating creates resentment toward the opposite sex, and demonstrates what genuine biblical marriage actually looks like in practice.

Key takeaways

  • Victim ideologies render you helpless by blaming external forces instead of building internal strength

  • Online dating’s stranger-based format creates massive failure rates and opposite-sex resentment

  • Christians In Name Only drive people from Christ through brow-beating and theological narcissism

  • Biblical marriage requires the wife to trust her husband’s leadership even through failures

  • Show don’t tell works better than preaching when advocating for marriage and family

  • Win the man not the argument when engaging skeptics about Christianity online
