Over the past several years, many Christians have assumed that what’s spreading online is either political extremism — or Christianity taken too far.

That assumption is wrong.

What has resurfaced in modern online culture is not a distorted form of Christianity, but a rival religious worldview — one that deliberately rebuilt itself after World War II by absorbing pagan myth, Hindu cosmology, and occult hierarchy while rejecting Christ outright.

In this episode, Will Spencer shares Session 3 of his Book Club reading Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism, and the Politics of Identity by historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke. This session is where the system fully reveals itself.

Together, the group examines how post-war extremism survived by becoming mystical rather than political; how figures like James Madole and Savitri Devi transformed Nazism into a transnational pagan religion; and how popular culture helped mythologize and sanitize evil, making it attractive to later generations.

Will also addresses a failure that must be named plainly: why so many Christians misidentified this movement as merely political, masculine, or reactionary, instead of asking the more penetrating question: What spirit is animating this?

This episode explores why clarity on these spiritual roots matters for Christians who want discernment, stability, and faithfulness in an increasingly disordered culture.
