Thursday afternoon’s exchange between the world’s most powerful leader and the world’s richest man continues to dominate headlines this morning. The break between President Trump and Elon Musk has been brewing for a while, but it escalated in recent days as Musk took to X to criticize Trump’s signature legislation. However, their recent history and ideological differences on other subjects do paint a more detailed picture of how their competing interests grew to what could now be irreconcilable differences. And what we saw Thursday afternoon offers a stark warning for each of us today.

Nearly thirty million more US adults are following Jesus today than was the case just four years ago, according to Barna.

The latest on Ukraine’s drone attack on Russia: “This is exactly what wars of the future will look like” Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

Ukrainian intelligence agents launched 117 attack drones last Sunday from trucks covertly placed near Russian air bases. Their so-called “Spider’s Web” operation struck 34 percent of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers, destroying what Ukraine claimed to be $7 billion worth of Russian equipment. According to President Zelensky, the “Spider’s Web” attack took “one year, six months, and nine days from the start of planning to effective execution.” The future is unknown but in the hands of a known God. Will you trust him today?

Sesame Street celebrates Pride Month again Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

Sesame Street is once again seeking to influence children with LGBTQ ideology for Pride Month. We can try to ignore all of this. Those of us who believe in biblical sexual morality can shrug our shoulders and wait for the month to be over. I would certainly rather do that than respond to this subject again today. But all people, whatever their sexual orientation or gender identity, deserve to know what God says about the issues we face. We need to counter the secularizing influence of the broken culture with our children and grandchildren as well.

Eight people injured in “act of terror” in Boulder, Colorado Jun 02, 2025

Show notes

A man yelled “Free Palestine” and hurled an incendiary device into a group at an outdoor mall in Boulder, Colorado, yesterday. Demonstrators for an organization called Run for Their Lives had gathered to raise visibility for the hostages remaining in Gaza. Eight people were hospitalized with burns in what FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino called an “act of terror.” Meanwhile, climbing season has ended for Mt. Everest. Whether we’re planning to summit Mt. Everest or not, in a very real sense you and I are climbing mountains of our own.

Could American sanctions bring an end to the war in Ukraine? May 30, 2025

Show notes

A bipartisan bill in the Senate with more than 80 cosponsors would impose new sanctions on Russia by targeting its ability to sell energy to other nations. While such sanctions are hardly a novel concept, the difference with the proposed legislation is that America would also impose a 500 percent tariff on any country that buys Russian energy. While the proposed bill would seem like a fairly straightforward path to increasing pressure on Russia, the reality is more complex. And therein lies an important reminder for each of us today.

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson’s final three words May 29, 2025

Show notes

Phil Robertson passed away on May 25 at age seventy-nine. One of the last things the Duck Dynasty patriarch said was to his granddaughter: “Full strength ahead!” Like Phil, you and I are facing a future we cannot control. We can do nothing about many of the threats we face, but we can choose courage over fear. How do we do so? The answer could not be more countercultural. In today’s Daily Article, we examine humanity’s quest for significance and how God calls us to use this world for the world to come.

Gunman sought after five people shot inside New England mall May 28, 2025

Show notes

Police are seeking a gunman this morning who shot multiple people inside a New England mall last night. Investigators believe the shooter and his victims knew each other. You and I share a subliminal sense of solidarity with all of humanity. Dr. Vivek Murthy, the former US Surgeon General, says that “chronic loneliness” can “shorten our life.” By contrast, a lack of intimacy with Jesus will inevitably lead to a lack of evangelism in the church.

WWII bomber crash killed eleven; four have finally come home May 27, 2025

Show notes

Second Lt. Thomas Kelly died in a WWII bomber crash in 1944. This week, he was buried on Memorial Day in Livermore, California. Why is his sacrifice and that of his fellow fallen heroes eighty years ago still so poignant today? President Reagan once said that soldiers who’ve died for our country gave up two lives: the one they were living and the one they could have had. Today’s article reflects on our burden and privilege of living the lives they could not and our responsibility for remembering them by redeeming their sacrifice.

The new “Mission: Impossible” film and Memorial Day: A reflection on sacrifice, heroism, and purpose May 26, 2025

Show notes

Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning is filled with incredible (even terrifying) stunts and astounding cinematography. Tom Cruise succeeds once again in his iconic role. On Memorial Day, our nation rightly remembers and honors the more than 1.1 million Americans who have died in military service to our nation. If you know someone who died in war or their grieving family and friends, this day is deeply personal for you. If you do not, it is about our fallen heroes across our history and the cause for which they sacrificed their lives. What is that cause?
