The Cory Truax Show

On this Episode:

-Advent Week 1: Hope

Christmas is a day; Advent is a season, and we just started it. The first theme is holding to hope in a seemingly hopeless world and anticipating the justice and plenty of the world to come.

-Voter Fraud Allegations

I tire of these allegations. We now have an attorney claiming what would be the most significant crime of at least the last 500 years. If she can't produce evidence, she should be disbarred.

-Listener Submissions

--Responding to COVID Conspiracies

--Do Christians harm their message when they identify with ANY politician?

--Is national unity possible?

-Student Loans and Higher Education

I oppose vehemently any sort of student loan absolution. It's bad policy and deeply unfair and unjust. Higher education is largely broken, though, and if we allow market forces to affect it, it can be saved from itself.

On this Episode:

Now lower income American lives in more luxury than King George III or King Louis VIII. We take for granted that when we turn the faucet, hit the switch, and toggle the knobs that we get, on demand, clean water at the temperature we want and electricity to power our lives of relative leisure.

We even get angry when the miracles of technology we enjoy don't work the exact way we want the moment we want. Our culture breeds in us all a wanton entitlement. Let me help you cultivate gratefulness even in the face of challenge. There's joy there to be had.

I hope, after all my years have passed, that the message for which I am most remembered is Christ and him crucified and resurrected. I count on my credibility to say to an unbelieving world that the Maker of All of Things put on flesh, dwelt among us, was crucified, and nevertheless lives even now. 

If that's my primary claim, I want to be really careful about the other claims I make about the world: elections, culture, other people, etcetera. I hope you'll join me.

A Senate candidate says the Bible teaches government-controlled socialism. I may not like socialism, but I dislike bastardizing the Bible even more. I explain near the end of the show.

#Bible #Christian #ChristianTalk 

I am grateful for the dozen or so of my listeners who have reached out to me to express gratitude over my voice being one of hope and optimism right now.

I've kept this refrain: we're all going to be okay.

Part of this episode explores this reality: my adult lifetime, for political administrations, I've lived through the most ideologically radical (Obama) and the most personally erratic (Trump), and.... we're all fine. The Lord is good. We've all made it.

There's more of that and a lot more on this week's show. I would be honored if you give it a listen.
