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.”

Is It Really "Both Sides?"

Violence is rising. The narrative is clear: it’s a “both sides” problem. But what if that’s not true? In this episode, we'll explore the gap between perception and reality - and why truth matters if we actually want to address what’s broken. Then...what if the greatest challenge facing the church isn't the culture around us, but rather how closely we resemble it. I'll talk about that with a special announcement three years in the making.

When They Fall...Look in the Mirror

What should Christians do when someone else falls? In this episode, we look beyond the headlines and examine what the downfall of others actually reveals - not about them, but about us. Because the instinct to judge, compare, or distance ourselves may feel natural… but it can also expose something deeper in our own hearts. As we trace how compromise quietly builds over time, this episode challenges listeners to resist pride, reject false security, and take seriously the warning behind every public failure - calling us back to a faith that doesn’t rest in our own righteousness, but in Christ alone.
