How Abdul Raziq shows us the ends don’t always justify the means May 24, 2024

Show notes

The New York Times recently reported on thousands of suspected disappearances at the hands of Abdul Raziq, an Afgan general during the war on terror who they’ve rightfully dubbed “America’s monster.” While they claim that Raziq was empowered to expedite the war, as Christians, we need to remember that God will never call us to walk down a path he can’t bless. To him, the means matter just as much as the ends.

Why are people mad about Harrison Butker’s commencement address? May 23, 2024

Show notes

Two weeks after Harrison Butker delivered the commencement address at Benedictine College, people are still discussing his controversial statements about women. So what is it about Butker’s speech that has caused such a stir?

Has the rise of the nones come to a close? May 22, 2024

Show notes

The rise of the “nones” in the religious demographics of our society has been among the most troubling trends for many Christians across recent decades. However, the nones haven’t really grown in the last five years, and their numbers have actually started to fall among the younger generations. As it becomes clearer who is walking by faith and who has “faith” by works, let us answer our calling to share the gospel with those who need it today.

Passenger killed after flight hit by severe turbulence May 21, 2024

Show notes

One person died and more than thirty others were injured after a Singapore Airlines flight hit severe turbulence this morning. Dennis Quaid is starring in a new horror movie in which, according to one reviewer, his costar is in “several scenes featuring full nudity.” Today’s conversation amplifies yesterday’s focus on the urgency of living in the power of the Spirit so fully that the Spirit changes us and changes the culture through us.

The death of Iran’s president and the arrest of Scottie Scheffler: A choice that echoes in eternity May 20, 2024

Show notes

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash Sunday in northwestern Iran. On Friday, Scottie Scheffler was arrested for attempting to circumvent a crash site outside his golf tournament. One set off a “fierce scramble of power.” The other demonstrated the power of humility when power is stripped from you. The two stories offer the same reminder in starkly disparate ways: the time to prepare for the inevitable crises of life is before they happen.

Why are orcas leading the news? May 15, 2024

Show notes

Orcas have been sinking yachts in the Strait of Gibraltar, with researchers tracking nearly seven hundred incidents since 2020. When we think we have tamed nature, there are always orcas or viruses around to correct us and remind us that we are just as frail and mortal tody as we were a thousand years ago. Today we consider three facts that can turn our fears and frailty into empowering faith.
