“The most dangerous moment in modern history”: The Doomsday Clock nears midnight Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

The Doomsday Clock was set at 90 seconds to midnight this week, matching the closest it’s ever come to marking humanity’s end. But what is the Doomsday Clock? And should we care what those behind it think? Turns out, God has a better way for us to respond to its dire warnings than with the fear and angst it’s intended to create.

Trump and Biden win New Hampshire Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

Former president Trump and current president Biden won their respective party’s nominations in New Hampshire last night. But neither candidate’s path to the national nomination is secure. Whom should we blame for the confusing state of American politics? Christians. But not for the reasons you might think.

Ron DeSantis ends his presidential campaign: A reflection on the decision that will determine our national destiny Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his Republican presidential campaign yesterday and endorsed former President Donald Trump. His decision leaves Mr. Trump and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley as the last major candidates remaining in the race ahead of tomorrow’s New Hampshire Republican primary.

His announcement is making headlines not just because it could change the race for the White House but because that race will change our lives. And yet, in a very real and foundational sense, the ultimate destiny of our nation is less in their hands than in yours and mine.

March for Life at 51: Do we truly value people over politics? Jan 19, 2024

Show notes

Today marks the 51st annual March for Life in Washington D.C. It’ll be followed later this weekend by the 40th annual National Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. These events offer us the chance to remember that, while abortion is a political issue in many ways, nothing is going to change until it becomes a personal one as well. So how can we help that shift happen today?

Elton John joins the elite EGOT club: Why “that’s no sign of greatness” Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

Elton John now has an EGOT (an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) after having won an Emmy for his Disney+ live performance from Dodger Stadium. But the list of EGOT members continues to lengthen. In other news, the World Economic Forum in Davos will discuss “Disease X,” which could cause twenty times for casualties than COVID-19. When it comes to forecasting the future, “greatness” is available to no one. How can we best prepare for an unknown tomorrow?

The Iowa caucuses and the Emmy Awards: How can God redeem our crisis in cultural confidence? Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

While Iowans braved the cold and voted for Donald Trump at the Iowa caucuses last night, the 75th annual Emmy Awards also aired. Succession and The Bear each took home six awards—at least, we think they did. Since we now know that ESPN employed a fraudulent scheme in recent years to acquire more than thirty Emmys for sportscasters who were ineligible to receive them, we’re left to wonder. How fully do you trust our political system, institutions, and leaders? How much do you trust what you see reported by the media? If God redeems all he allows, how could he redeem our crisis in cultural confidence?

Whom should voters elect in Iowa? Why did God create such a chaotic, unpredictable world? Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

At the Iowa Republican Caucus tonight, thousands of Republicans will brave wind chills forecasted at -35° to participate in the first contest of the 2024 presidential election. How will their choices dictate our future? More broadly speaking, why is our world so unpredictable and oftentimes chaotic? Why would an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God create such a place? Actually, he didn’t.

Is “The Book of Clarence” blasphemy? What the new film says about Jesus—and us Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

The Book of Clarence is a movie with Jesus that isn’t really about Jesus. As such, it takes a good deal of creative license with the biblical story. But does that make it blasphemy? And does a story have to be about Jesus to help us know him better? Let’s take a look at what the film teaches about Jesus—and us.
