“Morons Are Governing America” vs. “Trump Was Right About Everything”: A Holy Tuesday reflection Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

My wife and I drove past a “No Kings” rally in our city last Saturday, where we saw a sign that said, “Be kind!” Another announced in rainbow colors, “Love wins!” Next to them, paradoxically, a man was waving his hand-lettered whiteboard, “[expletive deleted] Trump!” This bipolarity is reflected and empowered by the media daily. As history proves and contemporary culture shows, we can be as dogmatic in our politics and opinions, as self-reliant and self-righteous, as those with whom we fervently disagree. But when the salt loses its saltiness and the light hides under a basket, the world is impoverished.

Why the “No Kings” rallies are good news for America: A Holy Monday reflection Mar 30, 2026

Article Description

More than 3,200 “No Kings” rallies were held Saturday across the US. Event organizers estimate more than eight million people attended protests against President Donald Trump’s actions and policies. The name reportedly comes from organizers’ belief that Mr. Trump is acting like a monarch rather than the leader of a democracy. America is the only nation “founded on a creed,” as G. K. Chesterton observed, the declaration that “all men are created equal.” But this passion for personhood and unhindered freedom comes at a cost, one that jeopardizes our willingness to “fear the Lᴏʀᴅ” as the psalmist advises.

Is social media the new tobacco? Why the latest court case in California could bring big changes for Facebook, YouTube, and other platforms Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

Article Description

Earlier this week, a court in California ruled that Facebook’s parent company, Meta, and Google’s YouTube were liable for damages of $4.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, after a 20-year-old woman sued the companies for creating products that she claims led to anxiety, depression, and a host of other problems in her life. What sets the latest suit apart is that these companies were not sued for their content, they were sued for their algorithm—and that, apparently, makes a big difference. Cultural change, like how we view social media in regard to our health, often happens slowly until enough momentum gathers to bring real transformation. The same is often true in our lives as well.

NASA has announced plans to construct a $20 billion base on the moon’s surface. The purpose is to install more powerful telescopes, mine elements that are rare on earth but abundant on the moon, and allow for further technological advancements through residual inventions, just as it was after our last trip to the moon in 1972. There is something in us that wants to make an impact in life that surpasses and outlives us. You and I are unlikely to seek such significance through space travel, but we can nonetheless live this day for its highest purpose. How can we do this?

What is the greatest obstacle to peace in Iran? Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

We’re learning this morning that the US has sent Iran a fifteen-point plan to end the war in the Middle East. However, Israeli journalist Amit Segal reports that Israeli leaders fear the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) will undermine any agreement with the West. Yesterday’s announcement that Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, a former IRGC commander, will replace the slain Ali Larijani as head of the country’s security council reinforces their fears. Why would the IRGC want to continue fighting a war that is so devastating to their nation?

California city council advances polyamory protections Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

According to the Los Angeles Times, West Hollywood’s city council has unanimously approved advancing what the article calls a “registry of multi-partner domestic relationships.” How does this affect you and me in our own lives? It is human nature to focus on issues that seem most relevant to us personally. This “fight-or-flight response” is our natural, automatic reaction to stress or danger. Jane Goodall, the famed British primatologist and animal rights activist, once warned that “the greatest danger to our future is apathy.” Today, we discuss three reasons to oppose moral apathy through a legal, personal, and collective lens.

Both pilots were killed and dozens of people were injured late last night when an Air Canada Express jet collided with a fire truck while landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Earlier in the day, I received news that my spiritual mother had passed away. Some deaths are tragic while others are cause for gratitude, but all grief makes us bear its weight in some way for the rest of our lives. In our “increasingly complicated, technology-dominated, and endlessly distracting world,” people are “shoved to the left side of their brains,” focused on what is practical but “bereft of mystery and meaning.” Today, we explore how God redeems all he allows, using even our grief as a gateway into a life of purpose.

Is AI a tool for the Antichrist? The problem with Peter Thiel’s take on the end times Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

Peter Thiel is drawing attention for hosting a Rome conference warning that technologies like AI could help usher in the Antichrist, even as critics accuse him of fueling fear around the end times. While concerns about global instability, war, and innovation are real, Scripture reminds us that “many antichrists have come” and that speculation about who the Antichrist might be is largely fruitless. Jesus instead pointed to “wars and rumors of wars” not to make us afraid, but so that we would not be. In the end, whether the world stabilizes or Christ returns, we are called to live with confidence that God is in control and to keep our focus on helping others know him.

Dick Van Dyke and scientists tell us how to live longer Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

The legendary actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke recently became a centenarian. He explains his longevity simply: he keeps a positive outlook and never gets angry. Scientists agree with his theory. However, you and I didn’t need scientists to tell us what we innately understood, that happier people are typically healthier people. If only knowing and doing God’s will were so obvious and intuitive. In Psalm 77:19, Asaph prays, “Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen.” It is one thing to follow someone whose “footprints” are obvious to us. It is another to follow someone we cannot see, trusting that their word is true and their will is best, before we can verify either.

Man accused of crucifying pastor asks for death penalty: Trusting God when we suffer because we trust God Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

In April 2025, Pastor William Schonemann of New River Bible Chapel in Arizona was found dead inside his home in a position authorities described as resembling crucifixion. Last week, the man accused of killing the pastor asked a court to sentence him to death. He stated, “It’s an undisputable fact that the crime was heinous in nature. I intended it to be heinous.” Our faith does not exempt us from living in a fallen world, but when we suffer because we are believers, we can especially question the reality and relevance of our faith. It feels grossly unfair for God to call us to follow and serve him, then allow us to be persecuted for obeying his call. However, it is also such suffering that affords us an opportunity to know and honor our Lord in ways we cannot otherwise.
