  • 232: Is Basic Biology a Difficult Subject?
    2026/09/18

    In one of the funniest news stories to come out in a while, we have the implosion of the Women's National Basketball Association. The WNBA, the Women's National Basketball Association. As it turns out, the women who run the league, and the women who coach the league, and the women who play in the league, don't know what a woman is. You can't make this up.

  • 231: SEP 11, 2026, My How the World Has Changed
    2026/09/11

    September the 11th, 2026. Twenty-five years from that horrendous day that we now, by shorthand, simply refer to as “Nine Eleven”. How have we come in just 2.5 decades from our largest city, New York City, being attacked by Muslim terrorists, to this day where New York City is now presided over by a Muslim mayor? It's a remarkable story, and we need to examine it.

  • 230: Nuance, Complexity, and Social Media
    2026/08/28

    Lindsay Clancy is a 32-year-old Massachusetts woman who is on trial this week after confessing to murdering her 3 small children in 2023. Her defense contends that she was suffering from a postpartum psychosis that was responsible for her actions. She's testified that she heard voices telling her to kill the children, and that at the time of the killings, she was suffering from extreme mental illness, and a shocking cocktail of psychiatric medications. While it's difficult to analyze this particular trial without sitting in the courtroom and hearing all of the testimony, it's not difficult to analyze the deep flaws within American culture right now, as we look at the social media responses to this trial. Let's see what we can find out.

  • 229: The State of Abortion in America Today
    2026/08/21

    In 2021, Planned Parenthood published an article, arguing that abortion proponents should change their language and quit using the terms pro-choice or pro-abortion. They said the problem is that those terms seem to imply that abortion is a badthing. They seem to imply that abortion is a bad thing. Instead, they said, let's change the terminology to other more positive upbeat things, because we don't want to stigmatize abortion as somehow being bad. Well, that's just what abortion proponents would do. This is typical. Instead of confronting the reality that abortion kills a living human baby, their solution is, let's monkey with the propaganda and the vocabulary so that we can continue to hide the reality of this barbaric practice. Let's talk about the state of abortion in America today.

  • 228: Intelligence and Christianity
    2026/08/14

    One of the fun parts about being a pastor is that when I meet somebody who then finds out what I do, I get a whole range of responses. Sometimes there's respect, sometimes there's fascination, and sometimes there's a smirk. A smirk that suggests, “Oh, you're one of those.” Gullible, backward, non-intellectual. And I love those encounters, because I love it when people underestimate me. Let's talk about intelligence and Christianity.

  • 227: A Biblical View of Property Ownership
    2026/08/07

    In a generation where socialism is increasingly attractive to people, it's interesting to stop and consider just how much interest the God of the Bible has and the question of property ownership. It says in both Psalm 24 and Psalm 50, that the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. In other words, from the very beginning God claims ownership for himself, for the property, that is creation. As soon as Adam was given life in Genesis chapter 2, he's then given responsibility, ownership, you might say, for real estate. Actual property. In fact, the entire Old Testament can be seen as a massive commentary on property law. Why does this matter? Well, there's some real practical issues in front of us as our next election approaches. So let's talk about the question of the biblical view of property.

  • 226: Is Your Fear and Outrage Being Monetized?
    2026/07/31

    Does it sometimes feel like the world that you live in today is more fearful, marked by outrage more than ever before. Do you realize that fear and outrage, in our generation, are more manufactured than real? Let's talk about the industry of what John Tierney calls the “merchants of bad.”

  • 225: The Attack on Human Exceptionalism
    2026/07/17

    Remember just a few years ago, when many of us were arguing against the redefinition of marriage by so-called gay marriage advocates? They told us that everything that we were afraid of, everything that we were predicting, was just, uh, to be laughed off because we were crazy fearmongers. We were making up stuff, and all it was about was just letting people love whoever they wanted to love. Well, we said back then that if marriage is no longer about the bond between one man and one woman for life, then children will eventually be denied the mother and father that they were designed to have, and group pairings would eventually grow up because monogamy would become optional. Well, guess what? All those things that they told us would never happen? They're here. And elite publications like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times are celebrating three words that you probably aren't familiar with. The words are polyamory, throuples, and polycules. Let's see if we can figure out what those words mean.
