This week:
-Controversy swirled around new WNBA star Caitlin Clark as she took big hits both on and off the floor! Other players seem less than receptive to the league’s new “golden child,” and political pundits are blaming Clark’s “white privilege” and “pretty privilege.” Is Caitlin the best thing to happen to the WNBA or a highlight of its systemic issues?

-Donald Trump’s New York case began to unravel as his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, took the stand.  In testimony, he admitted that he stole from the Trump organization in a shocking turn that makes the star witness guilty of a crime significantly more serious than what Trump is even on trial for! What can we learn from this circus of a trial? 

-Actress Julia Fox opened up about her ongoing celibacy as a form of protest against the overturning of Roe v Wade. Her stance is meant to cast dispersion on the Pro-Life movement, but did she accidentally give resounding support for it?

-And One look at A recent interview between @cosmicskeptic and @jordanbpeterson where Dr. Peterson was pressed to clarify what he actually believes about Christianity. Where the conversation landed shocked almost everyone!

We will check it out together on Episode 64 of the CTP!

This week:
-The Pope sat down for an interview with 60 minutes and claimed that humans “…are fundamentally good” and “the heart itself is good.” What did he mean by that, and does that line up with scripture? 

-Rage Rituals are an up-and-coming fad that takes the concept of “rage rooms” (where you go in a room and scream while breaking things) to a new, spiritual level. The idea is that you can heal your anger through violent expression of it. However, the research points to a very different, very dangerous conclusion!

-Meanwhile, in DC, a playground catfight broke out between Majorie Taylor Greene, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett. Serious allegations like “you wear fake eyelashes,” “You have a bad-built bleach blonde body,” and “nuh-uh baby girl” wear all thrown around! What deeper truth does this reveal about the culture we are living in?

-Peacock is releasing a new documentary during Pride month called “Queer Planet.” The purpose is to show that many animals have sexual habits that lay outside the traditional sexual norms. Conservatives are up in arms about the show, but I suggest that EVERYONE should be offended by this!

-All that and one look at the commencement speech heard around the world! Harrison Butker, a traditional catholic and NFL player, spoke at Benedictine College - a Catholic university - and his speech was VERY CATHOLIC! The part that stirred the most controversy was his take on the role of men and women in the home. We will look at the scriptural precedent for his remarks and see if what he communicated lines up!

This week:
-Presidential hopeful RFK Jr. clarified his stance on two key issues, one swung drastically to the right and the other about as far as possible to the left. What explains his sudden clarity on these topics and his decision to go with them? 

The Boy Scouts officially changed their name to “Scouting America,” sparking outrage from many corners of the internet. However, this change is not new—in fact, it has been years in the making. The real story might be how the Girl Scouts of America feel about the change!

-Adult Film Star Stormy Daniels took the stand in Trump’s hush-money case and filled the courtroom with salacious details of her and Trump’s romantic encounter. Many have made the point that her testimony ultimately had no bearing on the case and shouldn’t have been allowed; however, there is an even bigger issue with the whole situation that no one seems to be talking about! 

And one look at the sudden rise in legacy media admitting that the COVID-19 vaccine may have risks and side effects! After years of pushing and propagandizing, the tide has now shifted, and both the New York Times and Chris Cuomo are singing a different tune. Why the sudden change, and what can we learn from this?

This week:
-Famous reformed pastor John MacArthur once again stirred controversy by claiming mental illness does not actually exist. He boldly asserts, “PTSD is not real. ADHD is not real. OCD is not real.” We will examine this hard-line stance and see why MacArthur’s suggestions are out of sync with his theological beliefs. 

-College students across the country have set up massive protests calling for an end to the Israel-Hamas war. Major universities have canceled in-person education, shut down parts of campus, and some have even called on police to run interference. Where is the passion behind the protests coming from, and how should we think about the young radicals leading the charge? 

President Joe Biden has a long history of sharing personal stories that, when investigated, are not true! His propensity to shoot from the hip and spin a story from his youth has become such a mainstay of his career that it often goes unnoticed. Is this a pathological problem for the aging incumbent, and what can we learn from his history? 

-All that and one look at a conversation between newly converted Russell Brand and Dr. Jordan Peterson. During a podcast where both men were probing the depths of spiritual investigation, Peterson pressed on what it means to have faith. While his thoughts are certainly insightful, they were theologically incorrect! We will examine his remarks through the lens of scripture and get clear on the beauty of the Gospel.

This week:
-Comedian bad boy turned spiritual guru turned podcaster Russel Brand announced he was getting baptized. This came after a viral video in January where Brand claimed Christianity. Many are questioning the legitimacy of his faith and the orthodoxy of his beliefs. We will take a close look and see where we should land on Russel’s BRAND new faith… 

-In 2019, Kanye West went public with his faith in Jesus. He began hosting Sunday Services on his property and made an entire album titled “Jesus Is King.” Now, Kanye says he has some “problems with Jesus” since so many things went wrong in his life. Far from working on another Christian album, Kanye is now planning on starting an adult film studio! All this may lead you to ask, “Is Ye still a Christian?” 

-The Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit against a large convenience store chain named SHEETZ - alleging they have “violated federal law by denying employment to a class of job applicants because of their race. This obviously serious allegation is brought into question, though, when the next paragraph explains, “ Sheetz has maintained a longstanding practice of screening all job applicants for records of criminal conviction and then denying them employment based on those records.” We will look at what this frivolous lawsuit says about our current culture. 

-And one look at the most boring viral video of all time! A TikToker named @hubs.life shares videos “normalizing the norm.” These videos show him getting ready for a steady 9-5 job, taking out the trash, working, eating lunch, and a bunch of other COMPLETELY NORMAL things! His content has caused a rift in the generations, with Millenials and Zoomers comparing his routine to a life sentence while Gen-X and Boomers applaud his consistency and hard work. Which side is seeing this clearly?!

This Week:
-Taylor Swift released her long-awaited album, and, of course, loyal Swifties began combing through every line of every song! While most of the content is par for the course, some were surprised by lyrics that seem to take shots at Christians, the church, and even borderline blasphemous lyrics about God. We will break down these sections and try to figure out what is happening with Taylor’s transformation. 

-Tucker Carlson joined the Joe Rogan Experience and covered a host of controversial topics. Somewhat lost in the fray was a short conversation about Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Tucker shocked Joe by defiantly claiming Evolution is probably NOT TRUE! We will investigate his claims to see if they hold water. 

-Professional provocateur Andrew Tate sparked controversy with a tweet that blasted white men for not having multiple baby mommas. This, from the leader of the manosphere who has recently been pushing those same men to be stronger Christians. Inherent contradiction aside, we will look at his critique and why it resonates with so many young men today. 

-All that and one look at infamous pastor Mark Driscoll getting kicked off-stage at a recent men’s conference. This strange scenario keeps developing into a stranger and stranger story. We will look at the drama and see what we can learn from it!

This week:
James and Jennifer Crumbly became the first parents in US history to be convicted of manslaughter because of a school shooting by their son. They both now face 10-15 years in prison due to not intervening to stop their son before his rampage. Is it just for parents to pay for the sins of their son? We will see what scripture has to say!

Sound Investigations went undercover in a series of meetings with Gavin O’Blennis, a contractor for both the FBI and CIA. The hidden camera caught shocking revelations, including that the intelligence agencies allegedly have a vested interest in “nudging” pro-lifers towards incriminating activity. Why would this be a good use of the agency’s time and energy, and how is this at all ethical?

Legislation is underway in Florida and the UK to try to address the massive social and psychological problems smartphones are causing minors. While the legislation has massive parental support, it still faces many obstacles! Should the government be intervening in this way, and what deeper issue does this legislation expose?

All that AND ONE last segment answering a question I have gotten a LOT through my years as a pastor: “What Bible translation should I be using?” We will look at why there are so many translations and which one may be right for you!

This week:
-Famous Atheist Richard Dawkins came out as a “Cultural Christian.” He does not believe in God, or Jesus, or any of the claims of Christianity - but he likes cathedrals and hymns and a society built on the Christian worldview. Does it make sense for one of the biggest critics of Christianity to complain about its demise?

-Charlamagne Tha god filled in on the daily show and let us know his thoughts on DEI policies. Conservatives were quick to celebrate his monologue as a strike against the very core of equity-based systems. However, is that REALLY what Charlamagne said? We will listen closely and find out!

-Former President Trump released his official position on what he is calling “abortion rights.” Many of his supporters were disappointed to see a more neutral approach to the issue of LIFE. Is this Trump waffling on our time’s most important issue, OR is it simply a political strategy to try and take back the White House? 

-All that and one look at the controversy over a former Only Fans girl who has left that life to pursue her faith. The newly converted young woman sat down with Podcaster Michael Knowles and shared her story and her new goal of finding redemption through following Jesus. Many are questioning the legitimacy of her conversion and boldly proclaiming she should not be platformed! How should we think about these radical “come to Jesus” stories?

This week:
-Author Coleman Hughes stopped by The View, where he was pressed on his view that race relations should take a “color blind” approach. The panelists took shots at his age and credibility and even asserted he may be a “charlatan” who is being “used as a pawn.” Is a color-blind approach the right way forward, or should race be taken into account when making public policy? 

-Just in time for Holy Week, Former President Trump released an ad marketing the all-new “God Bless The USA Bible.” For only $60, you can own a King James Bible compiled with documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Pledge of Allegiance. Is this a political stunt, a blasphemous collaboration, a good-hearted attempt to spread the Gospel, or a mix of all three? 

-Speaking of Holy Week, President Biden issued a directive on Good Friday, marking March 31st as Transgender Day of Visibility. For 2024, that means Trans Day of Visibility landed directly on Easter Sunday. Predictably, Christian Twitter was incensed! What does this say about the state of our country, and how SHOULD Jesus’ followers respond to moments like this? 

-Finally, in our last segment, we will take a careful, historical look at the claim of Jesus’s resurrection. For Christians, this is the moment our faith hinges on; however, somewhat ironically, it is also the event that causes skeptics the most trepidation. We will wrestle with the question: “Is it reasonable to believe in the Resurrection?”
