  • Critiquing Evangelicalism's Idea of Conversion

    This video is a rough draft for a speech I had to do for a theology class. In it, I draw on C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity to offer a critique of the conception of conversion in neo-evangelicalism.

  • 78. There is a Dark Side to Knowledge

    In this video, I talk about how an increasing amount of knowledge can lead to arrogance. This is something I have been thinking about some, partly because I'm finishing high school and because I like to learn things. So there's hopefully some acceptable self-reflection here.

  • 77. We Have Great Desires to Embody the Eternal Story of Marriage

    Here’s some more thinking on my Senior Thesis. This proof has to deal with the eternal marriage story and how that trickles down into human lives. Hope this is interesting or helpful to someone.

  • 76. How Stringent Restraint from Cussing Can Lead to Pride

    I came across this article which was shared in a Discord server I’m apart of. I found it very useful. I hope this maybe gives some of you something to think about as regards swearing.

  • 75. Some Jumbled Reasons Why Man+Woman for Life Marriage is Best

    This video is kinda jumbled. In it, I walk through some of my proofs from my first (and very rough) draft of my Senior Thesis. This exercise has proven fruitful, and this video helped me to improve the structure of my arguments greatly.

  • 74. Forgiving Like Christ or Taking Vengeance Like Odysseus

    I finally made the video on the Odyssey. Some main themes are deceptions, temptations, hospitality, property, identity, injustice, vengeance, and mercy. I really liked the Odyssey and thought it masterfully illustrated these things. I hope that this is helpful or interesting to someone.

  • 73. Some Thoughts on Dating Apps, Hookup Culture and Their Consequences in Real Life

    I thought I would use this video to help me think through the introduction I have to my Senior Thesis. I have since done another draft of my introduction that I feel is improved, partly through the help of this video. In the video, I talk about the modern phenomena of dating apps and hookup culture and how that intersects with real life. In short, the former doesn't translate to the latter very well. I hope this was interesting to someone. Let me know what you all think if you get a chance.
