Possible terrorism in Texas and jihad against Americans Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

A third victim has now died from last Sunday’s mass shooting in Austin, Texas. The FBI believe the attack may be related to terrorism. A very troubling aspect of this story is its possible connection to hardline Muslim clerics in the US who have been claiming that war between the US and Iran is part of a prophetic destiny tied to the return of the Mahdi, their messiah. One of them closed his Friday prayer before war broke out: “May Allah destroy all the nonbelievers.” All of this taken together could cause Americans to fear all Muslims in our midst and to hate radical Islamists who seem to hate us, but this visceral reaction is not the way God wants believers to respond. The opposite is actually the case.

A biblical reflection on the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

As “Operation Epic Fury” continues, Iran and its proxies are expanding their response as they fire missiles at Israel and the Arab states. When news broke Saturday that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had been killed, one person in Tehran responded: “I think the Middle East has become a better place. Even [the] world has become a better place now.” We can be grateful that he can no longer terrorize his own people and the world. But there is another dimension to Khamenei’s death that we should consider as well, one that far transcends the geopolitics of the moment.

Can AI be trusted in war? Why Artificial Intelligence is not afraid of nukes Feb 27, 2026

Show notes

When US forces captured former Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, the strike included Anthropic’s AI tool, Claude. A key part of Anthropic’s usage policies is that their AI cannot be used to “facilitate or promote any act of violence or intimidation.” AI has given plenty of reasons to be wary of crossing that line, but Anthropic had to know that this stance could pose something of a problem when it comes to the military applications of their tools. What role does fear have in our decision-making process as Christians, and how should we respond to earthly issues like nuclear war today?

Our political future and an interview that moved me deeply Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

Commentators are still responding to President Trump’s “State of the Union” address in the predictably partisan ways you would expect. I genuinely grieve to see the depth of rancor and bitterness that exists in our country toward fellow Americans with whom we happen to disagree politically. And I genuinely question whether our democratic experiment can be sustained while we sustain such animosity toward one another. To encourage us toward this end, I’d like to reflect with you on a recent interview that has marked me in profound ways.

“Jack Hughes for President:” Reflections on the state of our union and our best future Feb 25, 2026

Article Description

President Trump delivered his annual “State of the Union” address to Congress and the nation last night. The speech was the longest ever, lasting 108 minutes, and covered a range of topics designed to buttress his party’s chances in the upcoming midterms. A highlight for me and for many was the entrance of the US men’s hockey team into the House chamber. The president announced that he would be awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom, our nation’s highest civilian honor, to the team’s goaltender, Connor Hellebuyck.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, four years later: A reflection on geopolitics, morality, and our best future Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

On this day four years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine. What became the largest ground war in Europe since World War II has reshaped global security, energy markets, and geopolitical alliances. I’m certain that you believe Vladimir Putin’s criminal invasion of Ukraine and his ongoing threats to the future of Europe to be morally wrong. My question is, why are there such categories as right and wrong in the first place? Your answer is crucial, not just to wars and politics but to the way you live your life today.

Why the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs is good news Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

Article Description

In striking down President Trump’s global tariffs, the Supreme Court demonstrated something far more foundational than trade policy: the endurance of a system built on checks and balances and a “government of laws, not of men.” The Founders understood that because people are not angels, power must restrain itself—and the president’s compliance with the ruling shows that this design still functions 250 years later. Yet legality alone cannot produce morality or flourishing.

Article Description

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew of the English royal family, was arrested yesterday on his sixty-sixth birthday after the latest batch of Epstein files that were made public last month shed new light on his connections with Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. Now that he is potentially facing life in prison, he has less to lose than when he was a free man. Would he trade secrets for a reduced or annulled sentence? And why does anything involving Epstein make headlines today? On the surface, it sounds like a silly question. But, if you stop to consider it, I think it points to an interesting conclusion, and one far too many take for granted in our culture today.

Stephen Colbert’s ongoing dispute with his CBS bosses Feb 19, 2026

Show notes

On The Late Show Tuesday night, Stephen Colbert told viewers that CBS told him an interview he taped with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico could not be aired. The show then presented the interview through its YouTube channel, where FCC rules do not apply. As of this morning, it has been viewed more than 7.4 million times, roughly triple what the CBS program draws each night. With his show ending in May, we might wonder if the fact that he has little to lose in his conflict with the network contributes to his willingness to stage it. If so, this would be a principle worth considering for reasons that far transcend the story it illustrates.
