Who is New Christendom Press?
New Christendom Press is in the business of equipping Christians to fight the good fight, build to last, and conquer the world for Christ’s Kingdom and glory.
Christ is Lord from heaven to earth, over cosmos and culture—and he has something to say about every part of what it means to be human. In fact, he is making a new humanity after his own image. We exist to take part in the vast work of his Kingdom project via high-quality print media, podcasts, music, and more.
What do we do?
Podcasts
The King’s Hall
The King’s Hall is a collaboration of Brian Sauvé, Eric Conn, and Dan Berkholder. Listen and find out if Dan can reclaim his heritage and give a good name to the Danes, if Brian will yet again lean on his Native American heritage, or if Eric will throw them both under the bus one more time.
The Hard Men Podcast
Premium content that aims to recover biblical masculinity in a world of softness. The world needs strong men, here’s to doing the work for it. Whether you want to grow in masculine virtue, raise strong sons, or prepare your daughters for the world, Eric Conn provides wisdom and practical skills to do so in a sexually confused age.
Contra Mundum
A podcast with Andrew Isker and C.Jay Engel, talking about the most recent cultural topics, including things like fertility, liberal chaos, politics, and economics.
Bright Hearth
This podcast, a collaboration with my wife, Lexy, is all about recovering the lost arts of homemaking and the productive Christian household. In the first season of the show, we’re walking through the various rooms of the house, asking the question, “What are the essential arts and duties of this room? How does this room serve Christ and his Kingdom?”
Haunted Cosmos
What if the world is not just stuff? What about what you can’t see? What about those things that can’t be touched, measured, quantified, put under a microscope, or captured through the aperture of a telescope? What if there are things out there, Things beyond things—unnamed, unthinkable, unknown? What if the world isn’t just stuff?
The Lone Bulwark
A podcast from Stephen Wolfe, the author of The Case for Christian Nationalism. Stephen Wolfe (PhD, Louisiana State University) is a Christian political theorist who lives in North Carolina on his 25-acre estate, Wolfeshire, with his wife and four children.

Music
Brian Sauvé
A pastor and musician who produces music for the new Christendom. His work primarily consists of fresh settings of biblical Psalms, original hymns, sea shanties, and catechism music, aiming to reflect the truth, goodness, and beauty of the glory of God. His albums, like Even Dragons Shall Him Praise (10 Psalms, 2 original songs) and Hearth Songs (7-song EP), emphasize ordinary Christian life—family, joy, suffering, and worship. Sauvé’s style is often folky and simple, designed to be sung in homes, churches, or gatherings, hiding God’s Word in listeners’ hearts. He’s released two full-length albums, two EPs, a single, and two catechism albums, with a commitment to Reformed theology and countercultural themes.
Ray Buckner
Ray Buckner fronts Out of the Graves, a Christian indie-folk-rock band. His music explores faith, sin, and redemption with raw, biblical lyrics, echoing Reformed theology. The debut album, The Waiting World, uses vivid imagery like Ezekiel’s dry bones to inspire hope and worship, perfect for personal or communal reflection.
