0:58 I think I know how Roberts will avoid taking sides on abortion. Fortunately, there are five other justices who might vote correctly. 15:30 The Colts lost because of turnovers, not because of Reich failing to utilize Taylor. But as long as we're setting records straight, blame Reich, not Wentz, for the second loss to the Titans. 26:30 John the Baptist's unique role in God's redemptive plan. I've realized over the last few months that it's a lot bigger than I thought. Also, some really cool connections to Elijah.

I do my best to respond to some common questions about abortion. Will making abortion illegal actually reduce abortions? Even if abortion is wrong, don’t you have to be a Christian to understand why it’s wrong, and is it right to impose a Christian view of morality on others? Do pro-life people only care aboutContinue reading "Episode 37: Answering Questions about Abortion"

The Supreme Court agreeing to hear Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is a bigger deal than you think.

Can God make a rock that God can’t move? I used to think it was a stupid question. But after thinking about it more, I realized the answer tells us something very important about God.

I’m cautiously optimistic about Carson Wentz, but I’ve never loved him. Chris Ballard has taken way too much heat this offseason, and has proven once again that his patience has led to the Colts being in the best possible position. What’s not to like about Tim Tebow to the Jags? Aaron Rodgers needs to stickContinue reading "Episode 34: Colts’ Offseason, Tim Tebow, and Aaron Rodgers"

In this episode, I respond to a viral video made by Skye Jethani and Phil Vischer, arguing that Pro-life Christians should not see Roe v. Wade as relevant in their voting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvWD7ykNjCc Summary: 1. No, Christians are not turning a blind eye to “un-Christian policies” because of Roe v. Wade. 2. Of course Republican presidentsContinue reading "Episode 32: Yes, Roe v. Wade Should be a Voting Issue for Christians"

Is Trump bad for the GOP? Are evangelical Christians moving to the left? When we vote, are we making a binary choice or expressing our ideals?

We discuss how Eleanor became a Christian 42 years ago, and some of the things she’s learned since then. This is the first in a series about conversion stories.

My friend Matt and I take a few Facebook discussions to real life—well, podcast life, which is a good bit closer to real life than Facebook! We discuss some of our agreements and disagreements about “Defund the Police,” BLM, Aunt Jemima, the “Progressive Elites,” cancel culture, and more.

There’s enormous pressure on corporations, universities, and public figures to release vague statements aligning themselves with the Black Lives Matter movement or condemning racism, but in such a milieu, these statements become more about proving oneself than about advancing meaningful ideas. As an example, I discuss a recent petition for my Alma Mater, Hillsdale College,Continue reading "Episode 28.7: Shibboleth"

A lot of statues across America are coming down right now. I discuss the obvious problem with the “erasing history” argument, but explain why I think removing statues and monuments is nevertheless a bad idea.
