Don’t miss today’s book review by @Todd_Huizinga. A thoughtful look at a book that speaks directly to the challenges facing the West today.

[Restoring the West @RestoringWest]

In today's book review for @RestoringWest, @Todd_Huizinga examines Carl Trueman's The Desecration of Man—a powerful warning that when a civilization rejects God, it ultimately degrades its understanding of human dignity, truth, and morality.

A provocative and essential read for anyone seeking to understand the West's crisis of meaning.

In Deep Dive #1 for @RestoringWest, @Todd_Huizinga points out that the @whatever podcast is a sad reflection of the emptiness of life in a culture without God.

A civilization that loses its transcendent anchor will eventually lose its sense of meaning, dignity, and purpose as well.

[Ayaan Hirsi Ali @Ayaan]

In Deep Dive #1 for @RestoringWest, @Todd_Huizinga reflects on what the @whatever podcast reveals about a culture that has severed itself from God.

When a civilization loses its transcendent foundation, it does not simply lose faith. It loses meaning, dignity, purpose—and eventually, itself.

What is Christian patriotism? Our Senior Editor for Nation & Citizenship, @Todd_Huizinga breaks down its five core pillars. Worth the read!

[Restoring the West @RestoringWest]

Christian patriotism is not domination.

It is seeking the good of your country, speaking truth, loving enemies, respecting human dignity, and remembering that politics is never the last word.

Todd Huizinga lays out five pillars for restoring the West.

We should say this loud and clear: right-wing populism is not extremism!

[Restoring the West @RestoringWest]

Europe’s revived Right is not extremist because it dissents from the progressive consensus.

It is conservative, civilizational, and democratic.

In his latest for @RestoringWest, @Todd_Huizinga argues that branding populist conservatives as “extreme” is how Europe’s establishment polices dissent.

The U.N. doesn’t just fail—it often undermines democratic sovereignty.

In my latest for @RestoringWest, I argue that leaving its worst bodies isn’t isolationism, but a defense of self-government.

[Restoring the West @RestoringWest]

🇺🇳 The U.N. does not merely fail. It advances a model of global governance hostile to democratic sovereignty.

🇺🇸 🇺🇳In this essay for @RestoringWest, @Todd_Huizinga explains why U.S. withdrawal from some of the worst U.N. bodies is not isolationism, but a defense of self-government.

To save the West, we must choose life. In this essay for @RestoringWest, I argue that @MelanieLatest’s The Builder’s Stone makes a powerful case for Jewish-Christian solidarity as essential to defending civilization against barbarism.

Citizenship is not a passport—it is loyalty. In this conversation for @RestoringWest, I speak with @Ayaan about why the West cannot be renewed until citizenship once again means commitment—not access.

[Ayaan Hirsi Ali @Ayaan]

Citizenship is not a passport—it is loyalty.
It answers a simple question: where do I belong, and what am I willing to defend?

My latest

[Restoring the West @RestoringWest]

When a civilization abandons objective truth, it does not become freer. It becomes more extreme.

In this essay for @RestoringWest, @Todd_Huizinga argues that Sage Blair’s story reveals the deeper cost of rejecting the Judeo-Christian foundations of the West.

After 20 years as a U.S. diplomat, I can tell you: a passport is more than a travel document—it’s a statement of national identity. In my @RestoringWest essay, I argue it should reflect America’s spirit and confidence—not a muted, bureaucratic design.

Funny how something as small as a passport design can say something much bigger about a country.

In this essay for @RestoringWest, @Todd_Huizinga makes the case that America’s passport should feel unmistakably American—not muted, generic, and bureaucratic.
