Article Description

Singer and songwriter Sheryl Crow made headlines over the weekend by posting an Instagram video in which she waves goodbye to her Tesla as it is driven away. She explained: “There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla.” The preponderance of celebrities seeking political influence across the partisan spectrum stands in sharp contrast with the hero our nation celebrates today for Presidents Day. In a secularized culture that rejects biblical authority, we must be the change we wish to see.

San Francisco’s tech world has long resisted faith, but a shift is underway. Trae and Michelle Stephens launched the ACTS 17 Collective to engage the industry’s elite, believing the powerful need Jesus too. Through networking events featuring Christian speakers, they offer value to those shaping culture while planting seeds of the gospel. The group’s success across Silicon Valley and beyond raises a question for all believers: When you think about Christ’s call for your life, is knowing him as your savior and Lord at the top of your list?

Article Description

Trump spoke with Putin about ending the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later said he had also spoken with Mr. Trump about a “lasting, reliable peace.” Meanwhile, NASA warned an asteroid could hit Earth in 2032—though the risk is just 2.1 percent. These threats remind us of life’s fragility and reveal our deeper fear surrounding death—not the pain of dying, but the prospect of annihilation. But Christians believe eternal life begins the moment we trust Jesus, offering peace even in life’s storms. What if that hope could calm your fears today?

A longtime Israeli friend’s perspective on the Gaza hostages: Three viewpoints and “the core truth of our existence” Feb 12, 2025

Show notes

Hamas stated Monday that it would postpone the release of three hostages scheduled to be freed this weekend to protest delays in deliveries of humanitarian goods. Yesterday, I was privileged to meet one of my longtime Israeli friends for lunch. I asked him for his thoughts on the hostage crisis and, as usual, his perspective was both brilliant and enlightening. What’s more, I found his thoughts relevant to an even larger context that touches us all. To make this point, let’s put my friend’s response into a larger cultural context.

President Trump establishes White House Faith Office: Why this is both a good idea and a bad idea Feb 11, 2025

Show notes

President Trump signed an executive order establishing a White House Faith Office “to assist faith-based entities, community organizations, and houses of worship in their efforts to strengthen American families, promote work and self-sufficiency, and protect religious liberty.” A White House initiative to encourage faith-based efforts as they seek to strengthen our nation is both a good idea and a bad idea. The implications of both extend far beyond Washington and touch every soul in America today.

Article Description:

After shielding his toddler sister in a deadly plane crash, ten-year-old Trey Howard awoke from brain surgery asking if he had saved her. Inspired by his bravery, Eagles star A.J. Brown dedicated his Super Bowl performance to Trey, then went on to win the Lombardi trophy in last night’s game. Trey’s selflessness mirrors the higher calling of faith—living not for power or comfort but to serve others through God’s strength. When we love sacrificially, our impact endures far beyond earthly victories.

USAID funds both vital aid and questionable projects, but its lack of oversight has drawn criticism. President Trump’s push to rein it in raises questions of accountability. Waste and corruption exist alongside good work, but does the good excuse the flaws? Just as governance demands integrity, so too does faith call for growth in all areas of our lives. Today we discuss the singular fruit of the spirit and how the Holy Spirit uses it to transform our hearts.

Why does the Super Bowl use Roman numerals? “With you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light” (Psalm 36:9) Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Why does the NFL use Roman numerals when no other league does? Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt suggested in 1970 that the big game employ Roman numerals instead, lending the game a kind of gravitas as a major event. Mr. Hunt is also credited with coining the name “Super Bowl.” But in my mind, the remarkable success of the NFL, the Super Bowl, and the Chiefs are not his most significant achievement. It was my privilege to be the pastor of Clark Hunt and his family in Dallas. They are among the most gracious, humble people I have ever known. Today we discuss enduring legacy and God’s everlasting reign and power over creation.

Special Edition: President Trump declares that the US should “take over” Gaza. Three ways to view his proposal and two biblical responses Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

Article Description:

President Trump shocked the world Tuesday evening when he declared, “The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too.”

He added, “We’ll own it and be responsible” for disposing of unexploded munitions and rebuilding the area into a mecca for tourism and jobs, vowing to turn Gaza into “the Riviera of the Middle East.” He also said the two million Palestinians in Gaza should be moved to countries like Egypt and Jordan because of the devastation of the area resulting from Hamas’s October 7 invasion and Israel’s response.

Reaction, as you might imagine, has been swift.

What Kanye West and Bianca Censori did at the Grammys: The lure of immorality and four steps to personal purity Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

At last Sunday’s Grammy Awards, Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori, walked the red carpet in an entirely see-through dress. Hollywood did not censure it and Censori did not receive any fines for public nudity, but primarily non-Christian Japan will likely cancel their $20M contract for upcoming Kanye West shows. Today, we look at three reasons Satan uses sexual temptation against humanity and four steps we can take today to combat the allure of sexual immorality.
