Avowing Brian Sauve

Condemning Protestant Cancellation

I am fatigued with the schismatic propensity of Protestantism that has made itself manifest in the community through swift desires to cancel one another over issues that are not salvific. I don’t think this social trend glorifies God and I think it comes at the cost of intelligent converts with strong opinions and convictions, who can see that the schismatic nature of Protestantism could easily lead to real-world alienation and excommunication. What’s the point in joining a club if you’re going to likely have your membership revoked over something frivolous? Below is my meme-ified take on the current cancellation of Brian Suave¹ by fellow Protestants.

I will only be giving my perspective on the controversy as a Christian, a paying consumer of Suave’s content, and a consumer of Antelope Hill Publishing’s books. There are a few people whose reactions to the cancellation are notable enough that I would screenshot their reactions and names to better illustrate what has occurred, but I am seeking to avoid conflict and will refrain from doing so. I would put arguing with Liberals on the same tier of displeasurable as arguing with ZOG-Sympathizing Christians. I do not find the endeavor to be fruitful.

In general, I have boundaries with Christian content I consume because ultimately, I think a good deal of what is out there is meant to subvert me as a Christian. I would say in terms of Christian content I refuse to consume out of fear of being subverted would be: Allie Beth Stuckey, Angel Studios, and Douglas Wilson. I would argue that Douglas Wilson is a net positive, but I generally feel the way Napoleon felt about men over a certain age in times of revolution.²

When looking at Christian media, I believe it is important to take note of the demographics of financiers, writers, and directors of such content to discern whether or not they have an anti-Christian bias. I am not watching theological content created by Mormons, Dispensationalists, or non-Christian Jews. This is a boundary I have and those demographics compose a significant portion of Christian media financiers, writers, and directors. I would sooner consume secular slop I know is dishonest than to consume content that is being branded to me as honest when it is not. Of all the Christian content I have consumed in the past decade, there is little content that has boosted my morale consistently as much as Brian Suave’s content has³. I pay for his Bright Hearth podcast that he hosts with his wife as well as his wife’s independent podcast. Both podcasts have blessed me as well as a book New Christendom Press has published. If I did not have Brian’s content in my life, sincerely, and people might hate to hear this—I don’t know if I could be Protestant. His content makes it bearable for me. I have been in a season of desperation with the denomination for a while. I think I am able to discuss this openly and you know, maybe if I do I will finally get some answers to some big questions I am having.

It is a real struggle for me to see how the denomination behaves online and in the real world during significant cultural moments. Again, people often hear this and suggest to me that Catholic or Eastern Orthodox conversion would solve this issue for me, and I doubt that. There is a good deal of nonsense to go around in each denomination and I don’t think there is a single one that would bring me the spiritual peace I am desperately seeking. The Eastern Orthodox say the Catholics stole their church and sometimes have too hard of a line drawn on ethnicity⁴. Catholicism preaches papal infallibility. The Pope gives cultural takes that are antithetical to Christianity on occasion and there’s an expectation for people to not notice this. There is always something about a denomination I would struggle to grapple with and I bet there are others like me who just aren’t going to church at all as a result.

There is a weakness I feel in Protestantism that leaves a strong pit in my stomach. It’s there and I can’t deny that it’s there and it’s not so much that I don’t think Protestantism has merit—it does, but you get to being an American Protestant long enough and you can see the cracks no one wants to address.

This presents an issue for me as a female cultural commentator because is it the most biblical thing for me to post public opinions on a denomination as a woman? I have to say, probably not. No one has outright asked why I have these discussions online when it comes to religious matters either. The reason why is that I think Protestantism has a problem with attracting strong, intelligent people with convictions to its ranks. I see basic social and apologetic conversations that are avoided that need not be. If I am to literally or figuratively lay down my life for a fellow believer, that sort of loyalty comes with certain agreements, although I fear I may be part of a minority who thinks in terms of danger and kinship as a Christian.

One certain agreement that comes at the cost of me laying down my life for other believers is we must be able to discuss the controversial and remain united. If a denomination and community are as fair-weather as secular family, what is the point in attending church? Some might say the point is that it glorifies God, and to that I would ask, “Does it?” In the context of participating in a community that refuses to address the controversial or take the serious conviction of laying down lives for each other, does it glorify God to convene with one another? I am not saying it does or does not, but these are the sort of tensions that intelligent believers with strong convictions would appreciate being addressed.

We’ve dealt with a lot in 2026 as a denomination and I do truly wonder if Protestantism was built to last. Some controversies can be addressed with literal scripture while other controversies may be best addressed with an admission that certain topics are shrowded in such mystery that it is hard to glean wisdom on a topic from scripture and it may be best to petition the Holy Spirit for guidance in these instances. To have the humility to say you don’t know something is much more valuable to critically-thinking believers instead of giving them, what they can plainly see is the easiest answer one could give to a questioning Christian.

Every single group I have belonged to, I’ve been able to see what is wrong with it as an observant person and this is not necessarily a good thing. This quality of finding faults isn’t always the most righteous or sanctifying skill, especially when it spills over into ingratitude because ingratitude is antithetical to Christianity. However, it is the case that I prefer knowing what a group’s blind spots are when I share an identity with that group because it helps me to keep my wit’s about me.

I have to be careful in how I make observations on populations and clarify where I am getting my general opinions on Protestants from: All Protestants I have interacted with my entire life, both online and in the real world. That is a large group of people and it is likely I interact with thousands of Protestants on any given day given the size of my platform(s).

I think the weakness I am observing in Protestantism can be labeled the Liberal Post War Consensus. I think, generally speaking, American Protestants have replaced Satan with Hitler and that is heretical. Additionally, I think there is a biblical literacy issue that makes Protestants essentially think they must socially and spiritually bend the knee to Jews out of reverence for the Lord. Their intentions are good, but I don’t know how sustainable this is going to be in terms of recruiting intelligent converts with strong convictions to enter their ranks. I think this paradigm is costing the church strength of mind and body.

To be clear, I do not think any supremacy movements are good. I regard all to be evil, and it’s important to understand that I think there are Black supremacy movements, Indian supremacy movements, White supremacy movements⁵, Jewish supremacy movements, and Female supremacy movements that are of significance in modernity. Brian Sauve has been wrongly accused of promoting white supremacy over an understandable failure of oversight on his and Eric Conn’s part as conference founders.

As a result, Briane Sauve has been the recent target of Protestant cancellations that is demoralizing for congregants to witness. There is an expectation for Protestants to convince others that they fear God when a good deal of them seem to come across as fearing the Liberal Post War consensus above all else. You cannot convince people that you take your religion seriously when you appear waiting with bated breath to disavow people to the left of right of you in pews.

Social media has done a number on Christian interpersonal relations. You don’t have to guess what your fellow Christian thinks of you or your opinions, you can go online and find out for yourselves whether or not they think an opinion puts you in the “out of fellowship” category. If you aren’t willing to share a meal with someone over an opinion that is not salvific, I think that’s inhospitable.

I hate putting disclaimers in my writing because it loses an authoritative tone that is required for a reader to have a pleasant experience in engaging with my work, but I have a moral and spiritual obligation to exercise a certain amount of humility here. I am a Christian who posts my opinions on the internet. I am just as guilty of participating in this, the only thing is—yet again, this will not change who I break bread with so long as the person is not a Liberal. Admittedly, I should be able to socialize with Liberals more, but I am not sure I will ever be spiritually mature enough to do so.

I cannot say the same of Christians who engage with my content. I think there’s a fair amount of believers who read what I post and conclude they would never break bread with me. They don’t understand loyalty or camaraderie as a concept. Most American Christians are deracinated former Liberals who would sell out their spiritual kin if put under pressure. They may talk of admiration of the friendship of Tolkien and Lewis, but they could never do what those men did as friends. Lewis wrote a demonic satire and dedicated it to Tolkien as a laugh. Modern Protestants could never.

Unfortunately, I’ve had painful personal experience with this in having friendships with believers end over my posts online, people who I’ve loved dearly despite their character flaws. I even went so far as to apologize to one via email and try to reestablish a rapport with them, but I think their disdain for me was too great and nothing God-glorifying came of it. Therein lies my deep sympathy for Brian Sauve

I do not know this man beyond the fact that I find his work to be morale-boosting for me in my personal life and his content is the only Christian content I am willing to spend my dollar on right now. I find his mission important to support financially and have a monthly subscription to his Patreon in an effort to further God’s Kingdom in a manner which I feel called to. Suffice to say, the cancellation of Brian Suave by fellow Protestants disgusts me. This is also how I feel about any cancellations of Andrew and Rachel Wilson, but that’s a different article for a different day.

Brian Sauve has built great things in the modern culture war, which is why people are biting at his ankles. They could never do what he did from the ground up holding the views he holds. In my estimation, many are jealous he has circumvented the school-marm neocon establishment. I have learned quite a bit in working in content creation in the years I have. I was once considered a success in the online space, but I opted for having children instead of pursuing a negligible career. (Think about it, can you name a single female Conservative pundit from a hundred years ago? Yeah, me neither.) Brian pulled off an absolute feat with his conference “The War for Normal” which took place this summer and when someone can accomplish things of this height, envy is often around the corner.

I have worked with one other man who had a conference in another niche I used to make content in and it is an incredibly difficult thing to pull off, especially from the ground up. I have also attended several TPUSA conferences⁶. Brian’s conference went from a few hundred attendees to 1,500 attendees. Not only is this difficult to achieve, it’s a statistical anomaly. His platform has grown exponentially and challenges come with it that I believe are incredibly stressful. We should pray for him to weather this storm in a manner most pleasing to God given he is a brother in Christ, a pastor, a husband, and a father.

I remember going viral overnight and my platform exploding, and my initial reaction was to cry. It is an unbelievably stressful thing to experience. It was not comforting and I imagine it was more stressful because I recently reverted to Christianity in that same season. Brian is a man, so maybe he thrives under this sort of pressure, I don’t know—my point is, where is the grace for Brian from his brothers and sisters in Christ? Because I am looking for it, and I’m ashamed at the lack of it I am finding.

To go from a conference of hundreds to over 1,500 meant that he would drop the ball somewhere. Of note is that he threw the conference with Eric Conn, but I don’t interact with Eric’s work much as a consumer and I haven’t listened to anything of his that put a pep in my step as a wife and homemaker, but I have purchased a book from New Christendom Press though. People who do not work in social media without the backing of certain donors do not understand the sheer grit this man, and likely his wife, had to employ to get the job done. Shame on Christians cancelling Brian and putting his family through undue stress. Your disavowal affects more than just your target. It affects their families and fellow believers.

(Me disavowing the disavowers.)

The source of the controversy is that he had a vendor who sponsored the conference that is a secular pro-white vendor had a booth with questionable materials referencing paganism and Nazism, from my understanding. When I say pro-white, hear me when I say I do not say that with a negative connotation. People have a right in the US of A to have businesses that are in favor of specific racial or ethnic groups if they want to. If you can nod and stomach a pro-black business and not a pro-white business, that reveals your character on racial matters. This pro-white vendor was Antelope Hill Publishing who I have purchased books from personally.

This does not mean I think Antelope Hill Publishing is a good actor. Sincerely, I am unsure because that would require further investigative journalist work on my part and I don’t have the bandwidth for it. There is a claim that they publish modified renditions of Hitler’s speeches which would look oddly convenient on their part, if true, to say the least. Antelope Hill Publishing I am willing to interview you on this matter for clarification if you would like. Given the devaluation of the word Nazi in modernity, I require strong evidence before labeling anyone with the descriptor.

Naturally, a conference founder is unlikely to be able to vet every single item on a vendor’s table. Event coordinators should inherently know this, which is where my critique of Douglas Wilson comes in. He has hosted conferences himself, he should know a lack of oversight is an understandable error warranting grace, however, he has chosen the path of disavowal. Honestly, it seems more like he might be upset a younger man is getting the limelight. That’s pure speculation on my part, but it’s what I think and experienced myself when my platform had exponential growth from those who had been in the game longer.

Where Antelope Hill Publishing erred was not appreciating they were a guest, not just a sponsor, at a Christian conference. They are familiar enough with white American Christians that they should have had the wherewithal to keep only God-glorifying materials or neutral materials on display. Bringing pagan references in any form to a Christian conference is rude. That said, I like some of their books, but specifically I have purchased for my children their book on Napoleon and their book “What Kind of Man Will I Be?”

The reason why I purchased the latter book is because I have a white son and it is exceptionally difficult to purchase children’s literature with a positive straight, white-male protagonist. I actually still highly recommend purchasing that book if you have a white son because it’s not getting any easier out here to find that stuff and you do not want to psy-op your son into hating himself for being the skin color God has given him. That book is good for morale in the present just as Brian Suave’s work is good for morale in the present.

On those two children’s books, there is no moral or ethical dilemma to my knowledge with purchasing their children’s Napoleon book. There may be a moral or ethical dilemma with purchasing their “What Kind of Man Will I Become?” book because I tried to look into the author and illustrator of the book, Joshua and Alex Kestrel and I believe they are using pen names. The book itself is benign and morale-boosting, but it is still possible the author and illustrator are bad actors. There is no way for me to know, although I did attempt to find out before publishing this piece.

So much of Christian content available today is subversive. If it’s not Mormons writing and funding it, it’s Jews and we know there is a hostility ethnic and/or practicing Jews have toward Christians that they take advantage of as a group. Jesus himself was antisemitic by today’s standards. I want to be clear in communication here and say, a brother or sister in Christ who is an ethnic Jew is my spiritual kin regardless, but it is also on them to choose me as a sister in Christ over their secular ethnic kin and therein lies the rub for many Christian Jews. There is a tendency for this to not be the case and this is precisely at the crux what occurred with the cancellation of Brian Sauve.

There is a man who is a prominent figure in Protestant media who is an ethnic Jew that practices Christianity (who I will not name or tag as a goal of avoiding conflict) who has made it his current social media arc to sniff out Nazis on the right among his fellow Christian brethren. While it is public knowledge that he is an ethnic jew, he has conveniently left out this potential for bias in his current discourse. As a believer, he is called to place his spiritual family before his ethnic family when spiritually significant. I am not saying this is an easy charge for any Christian, but it’s there nonetheless and I do not think this individual is doing this right now—which is why I don’t consume this person’s content because again, I do not want to be subverted. This person is currently going out of their way to accuse Brian Suave, Eric Conn, and New Christendom Press as being flat-out Nazis or Nazi-sympathizers. I think this is bad. I think it would be better for all the men involved to meet privately to hash these things out in a manner most pleasing to God, but ultimately, it is up to the men involved to handle the situation as they see fit. It’s not my business beyond being in the peanut gallery watching all of this go down.

All that to say, I’m grateful for Brian and his wife’s work and I am particularly grateful for Brian because he does not deny the concerns of young American Christians or seek to undermine them. He understands the times we are in and I think, when it comes to believers like me, we just don’t want to be lied to about the current state of affairs. We are not asking for leaders to launch offense⁷, but we are asking leaders to be honest.

It does matter that our sons are at risk of not being able to acquire economic standing such that they can get a wife and create more Christian souls to glorify God. It does matter that our daughters are at risk of being attacked with no recourse for attackers. It does matter, if a family is white, that they are being brutally targeted in this era whether by the judicial system or genuine Muslim conquerors. It does matter that people bend over backward for enemies of God over their spiritual kin. It does matter in some cases that there is more passion for outreach for foreign neighbors than domestic neighbors in some churches. It does matter that the Liberal Post War Consensus is governing American Christianity more than the gospel itself in many cases⁸.

No one is asking for churches to become pro-white. People are asking churches to be anti-anti-white. I avow Brian Sauve and you can find his content here.

1. There is supposed to be an accent above the “e” in the surname Suave, however, I can’t figure out how to get my keyboard to insert it, so we are going to forgo it altogether in this piece.

2. Look into the founders and writers of Angel Studios’ films and cartoons.

3. Another content creator who has boosted my morale is Milena Ciciotti.

4. Yes, I already went to an Eastern Orthodox church. The catechism process was too confusing for me and I swear the parish I went to only has 20 people attending total.

5. I am of the opinion that white supremacy is overstated as a threat, but there’s no logical reason for me to argue white supremacy is “good.”

6. I am not sure I will ever go to another one because current management is off-putting to me.

7. I know better than to hope for the impossible.

8. This is my opinion.
