  • Grace in the rage age

    Grace in the rage age
    Dec 18 2025
    In an age fueled by outrage, Christian grace often looks like weakness. In this episode, I respond to criticism over my column extending compassion after Rob Reiner’s violent death. Grief is not political endorsement, grace is never excessive, and Scripture calls believers to mercy precisely when it’s hardest. This isn’t about defending a person’s legacy, it’s about guarding our hearts and obeying Christ in a rage-filled age.

  • The problem with tough-guy Christianity

    The problem with tough-guy Christianity
    Dec 11 2025
    Tough-Guy Christianity is having a moment. Loud voices. Hard edges. Chest-thumping leaders who equate gentleness with weakness and boldness with volume. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the cultural pressure to be the “tough pastor,” why it’s spiritually deforming the church, and how true Christlike strength actually looks nothing like the caricatures.

    This week’s episode digs into the danger of living for public approval - why “the fear of man” wrecks identity, bends conviction, and ultimately destroys courage. From Obama’s cultural drift to Rowling’s unexpected resilience, we explore why chasing applause leads to collapse, and why rooting yourself in Christ leads to clarity, stability, and strength.

  • The cruelty of "compassion"

    The cruelty of "compassion"

    Illinois’ legalization of physician-assisted suicide is the next step in a deeper cultural shift toward viewing human life as expendable. In a culture that walks this path, so-called “societal compassion” quickly shows itself to be "societal abandonment." When suffering is met with a prescription for death instead of support, presence, and dignity, the result is a culture that prefers eliminating the sufferer to alleviating the suffering. Let's expose the moral drift, the false promise of “aid in dying,” and the Christian conviction that every human life - especially the vulnerable - is inherently sacred.

    The "p word" on a plane, and everywhere else too
    Nov 20 2025
    A headline from 30,000 feet has sparked a deeper conversation about freedom, self-control, and the thin line between liberty and licentiousness. The story is surprising - the implications even more so. We need to think (not feel), and then talk about this.

    New data shows the transgender identity trend among young people is collapsing at a very fast rate. But the cultural and emotional wreckage it leaves behind will last for years. What’s important now isn’t to talk about what happened, as much as discover why it happened, and what truth we must recover before the next wave hits.

    Guess what "white evangelicals" just did
    Nov 6 2025
    Political pundits are in full “overreaction Monday” mode after this week’s elections, but not everything is what it seems. Beneath the noise lies a quiet data point that upends one of the most common cultural narratives about faith and politics. What it reveals about evangelical voters - and what it doesn’t - might surprise both sides of the aisle.

  • The day after you die

    The day after you die
    Oct 16 2025
    A viral Jordan Peterson clip began with a haunting question: “Do you know what happens after your funeral?” His answer is brutally honest - the world moves on and forgets you. It's disconcerting how right he is about it all. But he goes further and offers advice that isn't wise or prudent. We'll talk about that unusual swing-and-miss from Peterson, as well as the better approach he somehow missed.
