A viral TikTok video accused Texas churches of ignoring a mother who “needed baby formula,” and the media ran with it. But almost nothing in that story holds up under basic scrutiny.

In this episode, The Tenth Man unpacks:

• Why calling megachurches only proves nothing
• How internet critics smear all Christians with a sample size of one
• The biblical difference between personal generosity and institutional obligation
• Why Jesus addressed individual hearts rather than creating a charity bureaucracy
• Luke 3:14, Matthew 19:16–22, Matthew 25:14–30, Matthew 6:19–21, Luke 12:16–21, and other key passages
• Why Judas and the money box warn us about centralized charity
• How churches handle fraud every week—and why her story raised red flags
• The massive, unreported charitable footprint of ordinary congregations
• My own parish’s Thanksgiving and Christmas outreach, told only because “let not your good be evil spoken of”
• Why SNAP dollars don’t magically “add to the economy”
• And how attacks on Christianity will ultimately strengthen the Church, not weaken it

A careful look at Scripture and common sense shows what the media refused to report:
Jesus never commanded churches to give out whatever a stranger demands—but He does call every person to examine his own heart.

Electric vehicles promise convenience, clean energy, and a futuristic driving experience — but the engineers and regulators pushing the transition still don’t understand the lifestyle they’re demanding from real drivers.

In Part Two of this series, The Tenth Man takes an EV on the road: across the state, through a blizzard, and into the baffling maze of buried touchscreen controls and charging confusion. Why can’t remote start work while the car is plugged into unlimited power? Why is pre-heating the battery hidden behind one specific navigation app? Why does every tech designer think eliminating buttons is “progress”?

EVs are fast, quiet, and fun.
But the human-factors engineering? A disaster.
The infrastructure? Still lagging behind.
The policies? Written by people who don’t drive the technology they’re forcing others to adopt.

EVs aren’t the problem.
The system around them is.

Electric Vehicles: Part Two — on The Tenth Man.
