Can feminism and Christianity truly coexist? And what happens when an ideology reshapes how we understand women, motherhood, marriage, and the family? In this episode of *Ideas Have Consequences*, Larry Alex Taunton sits down with author Carrie Gress to discuss her new book, *Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused With Christianity.* Once a self-described Christian feminist, Gress explains why she ultimately rejected the movement and came to believe its underlying assumptions are fundamentally incompatible with Christianity. Together, they examine feminism's historical connections to Marxist thought, the changing cultural perception of motherhood, the decline of marriage and birth rates, and the growing tensions surrounding masculinity, femininity, and gender identity. They also discuss the sexual revolution, the influence of communist ideology, the modern manosphere, and why Christians must be more intentional about engaging with the culture around them. **Topics discussed:** - Why Carrie Gress walked away from Christian feminism - Feminism's relationship with Marxism and the sexual revolution - How motherhood and marriage have been redefined - The cultural consequences of declining birth rates - Christianity, masculinity, and femininity - Why Christians need to engage with culture rather than retreat from it Is feminism compatible with biblical Christianity?

llegals: A Warning to Americans Larry Alex Taunton issues a warning about what he says is coming to America through illegal immigration, drawing historical parallels to Athens and Rome and arguing that nations decline when prosperity breeds hedonism and depopulation. Citing his firsthand experience tracking caravans since 2019 and reporting from Mexico City, he claims cartels still smuggle people into the U.S. and argues these newcomers are tougher than Americans and do not share American law or culture. He urges Christians not to abstain from voting, stresses the importance of borders, law enforcement, and how the unborn are treated, and calls for sensible immigration policy while supporting ICE and frontline organizations. He also encourages personal engagement to change minds and emphasizes that America’s ultimate hope is spiritual revival and repentance through Jesus Christ. 00:00 A Warning for America 00:40 Why Voting Matters 01:18 The Viral Post Explained 03:37 History Lessons from Rome 05:33 Who Is Coming and Why 07:05 Castle Gates and Consequences 07:57 What Tougher Means 11:37 Border Policy and Priorities 12:21 Christians and Civic Duty 13:13 What You Can Do Now 15:21 Support the Front Lines 16:37 Final Plea and Spiritual Revival A Warning to Americans: Why Elections Matter More Than You Think
