It was a cool spring evening when it happened. It ended what was promising to be a lucrative, fame-bathed future for me. Still, even though I'm a high school teacher instead of a PGA Tour champion, I have something perfectly in common with recent British Open champ Scottie Scheffler. And so do you. Here's how we can overcome it.

In case you are still whistling past the graveyard, let's reiterate what all thinking people should know by now: what we are witnessing in the West is how a civilization dies. Only God can save us now, but it seems we're too over Him to even ask.

Texas state legislator James Talarico is turning heads on social media with his profound indictments of how unloving Christians are to be pro-life and opposed to sexual anarchy. For those willing to feel their way through life and avoid thinking, the former minister and teacher makes a great case for a new take on Jesus.

The Church of Jesus must stop mimicking the world in an effort to win the worldly, and instead embrace the "weirdness" of truth, holiness, and mission. By embracing our God-given distinction, the Church offers real hope and will thrive in a culture hungry for authenticity. It's already happening.

It might seem bizarre to say, but those of us who literally believe that a literal man named Jonah, spent a literal 3 days in the belly of a literal great fish...we can grasp things about Iran and the aggressive action Israel is taking against them better than all the secular politicians calling the shots. Here's why.

Former DC Talk singer Michael Tait just confessed to years of drug abuse and sexual immorality. He became the second member of the 3-man band to fall away on account of sinful rebellion. It's a lesson all of us should learn - sometimes the worst thing that can happen to us as humans is "success."

Renowned Christian theologian N.T. Wright shocked the Church by asserting that “in some cases,” aborting a prenatal child is “the right thing to do.” He’s not just wrong politically and morally. Far worse, his words are an offense to the character and nature of God Himself.

Social media has exacerbated it, but the real problem is sinful pride. Too many believers believe it is more beneficial to the Kingdom of God to criticize and condemn other Christians, than to fight for unity. It's no exaggeration to say that such an approach grieves our Savior. There's a better way.

Controversial Dilbert comic Scott Adams announced recently that he received the same tragic diagnosis of advanced cancer as former President Biden. While discussing the imminent end of his life with his audience, Adams made some incredibly wise observations we should all heed. But he also made one big mistake when he reassured listeners, "Nothing lasts forever."

The average American has less than 3 friends in their life. Concurrently, loneliness is at all time highs in survey after survey. To solve the growing problem, tech giants are working on personalized AI robots to facilitate friendships. But there's a big problem with that plan. And there's also a big opportunity for the Church in the whole mess.
