When They Fall...Look in the Mirror

A Masterclass in Missing the Point

A WNBA star says America's 250th birthday shouldn't be celebrated because women and many minorities lacked rights in 1776. But if institutions are disqualified from celebration because they were imperfect at the beginning, what remains worthy of celebration? Acknowledging America's failures and celebrating its progress are not mutually exclusive, and the nation's growth is precisely what makes the anniversary worth honoring.

Paralyzed by Tolerance

Reported rapes and sexual assaults against women have gone through the roof in four European countries over the last 20 years. But they have dropped in another one. So what’s the difference? Maybe it’s time we ask, “Are all civilizations equally compatible?” The West’s strange reluctance to criticize illiberal assumptions about women, dissent, and pluralism, is going to kill it. This conversation is not about hatred or fear, but common sense, shared moral assumptions, and whether a free society can survive if it loses the courage to be honest.

The New Obstacle to Faith

For years, Christians assumed young people rejected faith because of suffering: Why do bad things happen to good people? New research suggests something surprising — that’s no longer the primary barrier. In this episode, we explore what is replacing it, why it matters, and why Christians may be uniquely positioned to respond.

Rewriting Jesus

China’s Communist Party has shifted from trying to suppress Christianity to attempting to remake it. In this episode, we examine CCP-backed materials that alter the Ten Commandments, replace Scripture with Xi Jinping quotes, and even rewrote the story of Jesus and the adulterous woman. Why do authoritarian governments always seek control over worship? And what does China’s effort to reshape Christianity reveal about what's happening here in the West?

When "Our Side" Loses Their Minds

This episode examines Tucker Carlson’s recent New York Times interview and why it raises serious concerns about Christian witness in the public square. The issue is not merely politics or personality, but what happens when influential Christians drift away from rationality, evidence, and honesty while still speaking in the name of Christ. From claims about Trump’s “spell” over supporters to flat denials of things said on camera, this conversation explores why believers must value truth over tribal loyalty — even when the problems come from “our side.”
