CR WILEY | The First Institution

CR Wiley is a husband, father, podcast host, pastor of a church outside of Portland, Oregon, and the author of the book “The Household and the War for the Cosmos.”

For me his book was the crystal around which 20 years of thinking about masculinity instantly solidified.

What most men of the Renaissance want is a plot of land, a wife to share our lives with, noble work, children, a God to worship, and to be left alone. It turns out there's a word for that. It's called a household.

And not only does a household have significance for us as men, it has significance for God as well.

• The core themes of his book, namely piety, the household, and the cosmos


• How the household can rebuild society


• Advice for men on how to rebuild their household


• Advice for women on how to awaken the building spirit in their men


• And finally, his writing process, and his most recent book, "In the House of Tom Bombadil" about the character in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

Many men today aspire to self-sufficiency, which is a noble goal. But Pastor Wiley's restoration of the word household gives the dream of self-sufficiency a purpose, giving us something good, beautiful, and true to fight for.
