The Cory Truax Show

On This Episode:

GOP PLATFORM

Republicans released ⁠their platform⁠ one week ahead of their Convention. I'll review it and provide details.

WINNING IN THE CULTURE AS A CHRISTIAN

I'll play two Christian figures -- one is Tim Keller. I'm asking the question in this darkening culture: what does it mean for Christians to WIN. It's more complicated than you may think.

On This Episode:

CHEVRON DEFERENCE CASE

When the Supreme Court overturned Chevron deference case, they created an environment where we might be able to start chipping away at the massive federal bureaucracy that largely rules the American people. I'll break it down in detail.

DISHONEST ABORTION STATISTIC

Pro-Aborts are touting a statistic out of Texas regarding infant mortality being HIGHER after strict abortion laws were enacted. I'll explain why this is misleading.

OKLAHOMA TO ADD BIBLE TEACHING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Having the Bible present in public schools is a great idea. Having it taught introduces some challenges, though.

CHRISTIANS & POLITICS

I revisit my oft-visited struggle on how Christians respond to an interact with the world's governments, prompted by an online blog battle between two Christian academics.

On This Episode:

DEBATE PREVIEW

Our two elderly presidential candidates will be meeting in Atlanta, well passed their bedtimes, to "debate." I'll provide a preview and predict the strategies of both "men."

TEN COMMANDMENTS IN CLASSROOMS

Of course then 10 Commandments should be posted in classrooms. I'll explain why those arguing for "Separation of Church and State" have that all wrong.

A LOT MOE

I sure do like to write show synopses, but I'm in a huge rush. So, please enjoy the show, and genuinely, thank you for listening.

ON THIS EPISODE:

ALITO'S RECORDINGS

The media is acting like Sam Alito said something akin to theocracy. It's actually normal, anodyne, and obvious.

ANDY STANLEY DOUBLES DOWN ON WRONG

The "pastor" of one of the largest churches in the country says AGAIN that the Bible is the wrong foundation for Christian faith. I'll critique that.

THE WOKE RIGHT

There's a certain section of the Right making the same mistakes the Woke Left are. I'll give details.

MUCH MORE

On this episode, Cody and I discuss:

-Thinking about politics through a Covenantal Theology framework

-Why Christianity needs BOTH wall builders and bridge builders

-The new North Greenville University mascot

-About a dozen other things along the way.

I have commentary on the Trump indictment that will anger and enliven everyone at various times.

On This Episode:

PRAY FOR PEACE

The death of the Iranian president makes me a little nervous. Let's pray for peace.

POPE IS WRONG... AGAIN

The Pope says human nature is good -- defying literally thousands of years of Christian teaching. I'll give details.

VACATION TO THE GLORY OF GOD

It's vacation season. We should recognize vacations, historically, are a reality for the tiniest groups of humans. We should be grateful for them and use them to the glory of God as we enjoy them.

WHY TRUMP IS WINNING

Trump is leading in the polls for a reason interesting to a politics nerd. It seems ECONOMIC identity is starting to overcome ethnic identity for a lot of people.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A TIE?

Did you know there's a VERY realistic scenario for a 269-269 tie in the Electoral College? In that scenario, House DELEGATIONS from the States choose the President and the Senate chooses the Vice-President. In this scenario, there's a sit-com level set up where Biden could win the presidency and Republicans make Trump Vice-President

On This Episode: ARE MEN LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY? Chris Rock echoes a lot of the manosphere out there, bemoaning the "inequity" and "unfairness" of being a man when it comes to love. I think Chris is missing one vitally important point for a man. I'll explain. CHRISTIANS AND AUTHORITARIANISM I'll play audio from a Christian who correctly says the Constitution is ill-equipped to govern a people as immoral as we are. Then he suggests we need something like a Caesar. He's wrong there, and I'll explain why. AN ELECTION MAILER TO MY HOME It's primary season in South Carolina, so my mailbox is full. One piece gives us a good opportunity for discussing the need for political wisdom for the Christian. FALLING BIRTHRATES About 30 years too late, world leaders are finally panicking over the plummeting birthrates in the West. There is MUCH I could say, but I want to use this to recognize that ideas have consequences. Teaching people that the purpose of their life is their own fulfillment/joy and that sex can be separated from marriage and procreation has real consequences, and these consequences are going to make life worse.

On This Episode:

SPECTACULAR IMPLOSION OF KRISTI NOEM

The Governor of South Dakota thought it was politically wise to tell a country that largely exchanged kids for dogs that she once shot a 13-month-old dog to death -- oh and shot a goat too.

It's funny when politicians make fools of themselves, but there's also some lessons we can learn. I'll share those.

PRIMARY CANDIDATES

I have chosen candidates for my Primary votes. I'll give you my method and some tools to make your own choices.

LONG MARCH THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS

If you're unfamiliar with this term, you should learn it. We need strategy like this if we're going to be effective for the Kingdom of God.
