TAYLOR SWIFT'S NEW ALBUM AND LYRICS
Swift's new album has drawn fire from some Christian thinkers. I'll lay out the controversy and try to bring some clarity to how the Christian intakes secular entertainment.


CIVIL WAR MOVIE REVIEW
I saw the new movie, Civil War. It's mostly an argument to NEVER actually go to war; wars are just horrific.


It also seems to make an argument, to me, for a negotiated severance when the need arises.

On This Episode:


JOHN NEWTON ON "ACCEPTABLE SINS"
I have to share with you some BRILLIANT points from John Newton (writer of "Amazing Grace") about sins we just accept in ourselves. He makes a good point that real joy comes in GROWTH, and growing out of these sins will be joyous.


ARGUING THE A-BOMB
Tucker Carlson recently said America was deeply immoral for dropping the Atomic Bomb on Japan. I just want to be sure everyone has the historic facts.


UKRAINE
There's a lot of disagreement on the Right regarding Ukraine funding. I want to make my argument.

On This Episode:


THE MASTER'S WINNER
The winner of the Master's gave some compellingly strong and theologically astute responses to questions after his win -- regarding identity and even the cross of Christ. I have a theory why the great athletes of the next generation will be majority Christian.


2024's ABORTION POLITICS
I grew up with one "pro-choice" party, advocating for "safe, legal, and rare" abortion access and one pro-life party. Recently, after Donald Trump said the matter should be left to the States, that leaves us with one pro-ABORTION party and a pro-choice party. There aren't any true pro-life national figures now.


BILL MAHER TELLS ABORTION TRUTH
The audio is ghastly, but at least he's honest and owns the horrific position.


INTERESTING QUESTION FROM THE RIGHT
I'll try to answer this Twitter question. What's better:
-4 years of Biden followed by 8 of Desantis; OR
-4 years of Trump followed by 8 of Gavin Newsome?

MITIGATING SMARTPHONE DAMAGE FOR KIDS
We now have evidence that religious families are doing better at diminishing the deleterious effects of smartphone usage in kids. I'll share the details.


ENCOURAGING GEN-Z NEWS
Generation Z is pursuing trade schools in numbers we haven't seen in decades. This is good news for crucial industries that need youth infusion and for the income stability of the next generation.


BEWARE THESE PREACHERS
Marc Driscoll and Tullian Tchividian are both gifted communicators. They also both disqualified themselves from ministry. Both are also making a comeback in popularity. I have a warning.

On This Episode:


BIDEN AND TRUMP FAIL AT EASTER
Before Easter, the former president decided to sell a patriotic Bible. On Easter, the current president released a proclamation recognizing a pagan holiday for "transgender visibility."


Both of these are bad, and the Christian can say both are both. I'll give details on each and my response to varying reactions to both.


My major conclusion is that in our country:
The blue team is antagonistic to Christianity and wants hostility to it.The red team likes to co-opt Christianity and makes us passive to the real faith.


ATHEIST RICHARD DAWKINS SAYS HE'S A "CULTURAL CHRISTIAN."
In truly astounding audio, the most prominent atheist in the world admits we need Christianity. He recognizes both leftist Wokeism and Islam (the growing religions) are ugly and disastrous. But he wants the form without the substance -- a Christless Christianity. That might PROLONG our demise in the West, but it won't fix our problem.


MUCH MORE, INCLUDING AN INTERACTION I HAD AT QT THAT IS INSTRUCTIVE

On This Episode:
SOUTH CAROLINA CLOSE TO SCHOOL CHOICE
A bill passed that House that makes true school choice more likely in South Carolina than anytime in my lifetime. Let me encourage you: find your Senator at scstatehouse.gov and politely encourage them to pass House Bill 5164 to empower parents to choose their child's education.


CANDACE OWNS, BEN SHAPIRO AND "CHRIST IS KING"
In the dramatic breakup between Candace Owens and the Daily Wire, somehow her "Christ is King" declaration became a rallying cry for many on the political Right. I want to offer a word of caution: not everyone who declares "Christ is King" is a brother or sister. Some are USING that phrase for other reasons.


Listen, I get the enemy. I know the secular Left is a threat to my family and yours, our culture, and our future. That might require with being temporary ALLIES with some folks, but don't mistake them for brothers and find your unequally yoked.


GET YOUR KIDS OFF SMART PHONES
Let me tell what I've learned thus fair from Jonathan Haidt's new book, "Anxious Generation." In short, smartphones and the apps thereon are hurting our kids. We need to preserve them.
