The end of Christianity in a “cradle” of our faith? Jul 30, 2025

Show notes

Christian persecution in the Middle East is on the rise as Hamas and other terrorist organizations gain traction. As the number of Syrian Christians declines dramatically, believers in the land where Paul met Jesus could one day be no more. Yesterday we focused on the compassion we should have for hurting people, since they are loved by our Father and should be loved by his children as well. Today, let’s note that we should especially have such compassion for our sisters and brothers in the faith.

4 killed, including NYPD officer, in Manhattan shooting Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

A gunman armed with an assault-style rifle walked into a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper last night and began firing. He killed four, including a New York police officer. The news has been filled with such tragedies in the last few days. However, the cultural prism we have inherited competes with the sanctity of human life and the solidarity of our race. From Socrates to today, we’ve been taught that truth is individual. In such a worldview, it can be easy to care personally about the news in direct proportion to its perceived personal relevance. But this transactional approach to hurting people is not the spirit of Jesus. Today, we discuss the best way we can love others with a heart after Jesus.

Are three-parent embryos a good idea? Five ethical issues and the path to courageous faith Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

According to the Cleveland Clinic, mitochondrial diseases are “a group of genetic conditions that affect how mitochondria in your cells produce energy.” They can cause developmental delays in children, profound muscle weakness, hearing loss, blindness, strokes, and heart failure. Those with the worst symptoms die earliest, often before the age of three. Now there’s a way to prevent the transmission of these diseases to the next generation with a new IVF procedure. The children produced in this way will avoid the mitochondrial diseases they would otherwise have inherited. What’s not to like about this news? A good deal, as it turns out.

Zelensky backtracks on controversial anti-corruption bill Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a controversial bill placing independent anti-corruption agencies under the control of the prosecutor general, sparking widespread protests and international condemnation. Though the law aimed to curb Russian influence and speed up stalled investigations, critics saw it as a step back toward corruption. Under intense pressure, Zelensky quickly introduced a new bill to restore and even strengthen the agencies’ independence. While that legislation still awaits a vote, the swift response underscores Ukraine’s growing democratic accountability. Spiritually, it reflects the call to not just flee sin but pursue Christ—a reminder that true change comes from where we fix our focus.

Macrons sue over claim France’s first lady was born male Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a US defamation lawsuit against an influencer and podcaster who has said France’s first lady “is in fact a man.” If the Macrons had remained silent, their decision not to defend themselves could be interpreted as a lack of defense, but choosing not to hold their accuser accountable could only embolden and escalate such accusations. This is the conundrum of digital media. The good news is that this issue leads to news that is good in a new way today.

The death of Ozzy Osbourne and the Scopes Monkey Trial Jul 23, 2025

Show notes

Ozzy Osbourne died yesterday at the age of seventy-six. To understand the cultural insight Osbourne’s career illustrates, ask yourself whether his music celebrating themes of horror, doom, paranoia, drug abuse, and the occult would have been popular (or even possible) twenty years earlier. In other news, Monday was the one-hundredth anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial conclusion. At issue was Tennessee’s law prohibiting the teaching of evolution in public schools. In many ways, the cultural conflict revealed by the trial has been exacerbated by the normalization of evolutionary theory that it produced for many.

Stephen Colbert responds to cancellation of The Late Show Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

Last night, Stephen Colbert responded to CBS’s shocking announcement that The Late Show will end next May. In his monologue, he asked rhetorically, “How could it be purely a financial decision if The Late Show is No. 1 in ratings?” Many are asking the same thing, pointing to shifts in mainstream media from liberal to conservative bias. However, studies show that younger viewers are turning to streaming, video, and social media, while older viewers are staying with broadcast television. So the story could be more about demographics than cultural transformation. Therein lies the larger point I want us to consider today.

Scottie Scheffler before winning The Open: “This is not a fulfilling life” Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

To no one’s surprise, Scottie Scheffler won The Open Championship yesterday in convincing fashion. His victory was so dominant that, according to CNN, it left his rivals “awestruck.” Before the tournament, Scheffler said, “This is not a fulfilling life. It’s fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it’s not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart.” Scheffler’s statements regarding the ultimate value of the game he plays garnered national coverage. An article in the New York Times even called him “Nihilist Scottie.” Why would someone call him that? And why is the question relevant for you and me today?

President Trump directs Pam Bondi to release Epstein testimony Jul 18, 2025

Show notes

Last night, President Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to ask a court for the release of all relevant grand jury testimony from the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi responded that she is “ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.” Meanwhile, people are responding to the Central Texas floods with a massive outpouring of financial support and personal engagement. This should not surprise us: Americans are by far the most generous people in the world. What explains this?
