Christian Nationalism is a popular term these days, but it’s often used as a catch-all for anyone who happens to be conservative both politically and theologically. We believe the language we use matters, and we need to be less casual about applying blanket labels like this to followers of Jesus who voted a certain way or don’t share our political convictions. So, we had a conversation about it.

We had the joy of sitting down with Caleb Campbell, pastor and author of the recent book “Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor.” In this episode, we delve into what Christian nationalism is, what’s behind it, and how we can best love those who are caught in its grip.

Do you think aliens exist? And how confident are you in that assertion?

Today, Mike and Ryan engage in a good-natured debate/discussion around the probability of life existing on other planets. Mike is arguing for alien existence. Ryan argues against it. But that is a gross oversimplification, because the discussion takes an unexpected turn that you may not expect. Watch to find out!

The digital world is full of inspirational quotes—easy to share, easy to remember, and easy to accept as truth. But what if the wisdom we consume is shaping us in ways we don’t even realize?

Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever lived, understood something profound: Ideas have consequences. What we believe about life, success, and even death shapes the story we tell with our lives.

Yet, the kind of wisdom Solomon offers in Ecclesiastes 7 isn’t the kind you’ll find in your daily motivational scroll. He challenges everything we assume about happiness, legacy, and what truly matters.

Why does he say things like:
📖 "The day of death is better than the day of birth"?
📖 "Sorrow is better than laughter"?
📖 "The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning"?

At first glance, these words feel unsettling—maybe even offensive. But what if they hold the key to a life of deeper meaning?

Let’s explore the gritty, unvarnished, battle-tested wisdom of Ecclesiastes 7 and discover how it reshapes the way we live today.

The pressure on high school graduates today is immense. The future looms large with a thousand unknowns:

"What am I going to do with my life?"
"Who will I marry?"
"Should I go to college?"
"How do I even function as an adult?"

For students raised in Christian homes, these questions shouldn’t be left to guesswork. They should be rooted in something deeper—discipleship to Jesus. But what if there was a path that didn’t just prepare young people for what’s next, but actually formed them into the kind of people who could follow Jesus into their future with confidence?

That’s why we’re so excited to welcome Jeff Hackett, Outreach Pastor at Centerpointe, and Michael Davis, Resident Director of the new OneLife location launching in Buffalo, NY.

OneLife isn’t just another gap-year program. It’s an immersive, transformative year designed to equip young adults with biblical wisdom, deep community, and practical life skills—all while walking in full devotion to Jesus.

If you or someone you know is a high school student looking for direction, we’d love for you to check out OneLife Buffalo. Find out more at onelifepath.org, or come experience it for yourself at a Preview Day at Centerpointe Church on Monday, March 31st.

The cultural landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Politically. Socially. Morally. But are Christians properly equipped to meet this cultural moment with the gospel? We had the honor of sitting down with Dan Trippie who is working on a new project that will help believers do just that.

Find more of Dan's work at dantrippie.com. The website for the Center for Christian Thought and Ethics launches later this year at thinkchristian.com.
