Crusade with Me

The shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk has shaken us to our core. It was a brutal act meant to silence, meant to instill fear, meant to remind us that we live in a fallen and broken world.

But here’s the truth: as believers, as followers of Jesus Christ, we cannot — we must not — turn away from this moment. This is not just politics. This is not just tragedy. This is spiritual warfare.

Today, I want to take time to mourn, to pray, and to reflect. But I also want to charge you, my brothers and sisters, with the call of bold faith — faith that works, faith that protects, faith that refuses to bow to darkness.

We’ve seen that purpose is not hidden—it’s already revealed in Christ. We’ve seen that purpose plays out through our vocations, our daily callings, our unique gifts.

But now comes the challenge: how do we live this purpose boldly? How do we stand firm in a world that constantly tries to distract, confuse, and redefine us?

Let’s dive in.

Last time, we tore down the illusion—that purpose is something we have to chase, like a hidden treasure map. We saw from scripture that God is not a God of confusion, that He created us intentionally and without mistakes, and that our purpose is already revealed in Christ.

Today, we’re going deeper. We’re going to talk about how God reveals purpose in our lives—not just in broad strokes, but in the very details of our vocations, our callings, our daily responsibilities.

Because God doesn’t just have a general plan for humanity. He has designed you uniquely. And that uniqueness isn’t random—it’s part of His design for the road back to Eden.

Maybe you’ve asked that question yourself. Maybe you’ve heard it in the voices of friends, coworkers, or even your own children. Maybe you’ve read book after book, listened to podcast after podcast, all promising to unlock the secret of “finding your true calling.”

But here’s the truth we’re going to uncover today: purpose is not something we find. Purpose is something God has already given.

Today’s episode—Episode 114—is deeply personal. My wife is an empath. That means she doesn’t just see people’s emotions, she feels them. She can walk into a room and sense pain, tension, sorrow, or joy, as if it’s her own. For many, that sounds like a superpower—but the truth is, it can be heavy. It can feel like a burden, like carrying the weight of everyone else’s struggles in addition to your own.

So, the question we wrestle with today is this: Why did God make her this way? Why does God create certain people so sensitive to the emotions of others? And bigger still—what is the purpose of any of us? Why are we here as Christians?

Warriors of faith, wake up! This is not a calm Sunday reflection. This is your war horn, sounding across the field of battle. The line has been drawn. The enemy advances. Pride, compromise, indifference, and the forces of darkness circle our homes, our schools, our churches.

Today, we stand at the edge. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today. And you must decide—will you fight, or will you kneel in fear?”

This is Episode 112, and today we gather around the appointed readings for the 11th Sunday after Trinity. These Scriptures—Genesis 4, Psalm 50, Ephesians 2, and Luke 18—speak with one voice.

They show us what happens when worship is offered without faith. They show us the danger of pride, the futility of works, and the power of God’s mercy. And at the center, they proclaim the heart of the Gospel: it is not our sacrifices, not our boasting, not our efforts, but Christ’s mercy that saves.”

We’re talking about innocence. About children. About the sacred trust God has given us as guardians of purity. And we will tie this into the tragedy that has shaken our Catholic brothers and sisters in Minnesota. A place of learning, a place meant to nurture and shelter children, was pierced by violence.

This ain’t your cozy corner—this is Crusade with Me!, Episode 110, and we’re picking up from Episode 33’s inferno. Today—we scorch complacency, we torch digital sedation, we unleash holy outrage for our children’s minds, their resilience, their souls. Inspired by Steven Bartlett’s seismic truths—from The Diary of a CEO—we’re blending brain science with spiritual transcendence. The fire’s lit—let’s burn!”

Today, we’re drawing swords on a big one: Taoism and Christianity.

Both talk about the Way. Both teach wisdom about life, the mind, and even the body. Taoism has its beauty. Its discipline. Its respect for sex and energy. And for a lot of people, it feels like enough.

But here’s the hard truth: Taoism never gives you a God. It never gives you a Christ. It never gives you hope beyond the grave.

So today, we’ll weigh the Tao against the Cross. We’ll honor the wisdom where it’s real. We’ll admit the places where Christians have dropped the ball. But we’ll also plant the flag where it belongs—at the foot of the Cross, where God Himself bled and rose for us.

Brothers and sisters—let’s crusade.
