The Will Spencer Podcast is back with a new season, and it starts with the reason for it.

On Friday, September 18, 2026, I gave a Disputatio lecture at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho, titled “Every Man Gets Forged: On the Radicalization of Young Christian Men.”

The talk covers two things. The first is the pipeline pulling young men, many of them professing Christians and conservatives, from an absent father through porn, video games, shame, and the Manosphere, until they blame the Jews for everything wrong in their lives. The second matters more: the old movement waiting at the end of that path, which traded the armband for a suit decades ago and is now tunneling into the Reformed church and conservative politics. It doesn’t sound foreign when it arrives. It sounds like us.

This is the full talk, from the podium. Next week, I’ll lay out what this season looks like and who I’ll be sitting down with.

If you care about young men and the future of the church, this talk is for you. If you’re a pastor or an elder, it’s for you most of all.
