Laura was deep into the New Age for years—crystals, tarot, and talking to spirits. She genuinely thought she was on a path of light and love. She saw Christianity as outdated, something for people who just hadn’t “evolved” spiritually yet. But then everything changed one night when she had a terrifying dream that flipped her entire worldview upside down. She realized she was caught up in something far darker than she ever imagined. What followed was a journey she never expected. 

She also shares one of the most compelling explanations I've heard so far for why Christians shouldn't practice yoga.

In a world where emotion often wins over reason, we want to know how to think well. I invited the smartest person I know when it comes to critical thinking, Kathy Gibbens, to join me on my channel and unpack 10 of the most common logical fallacies influencing everything from faith and relationships to politics.

I don’t think most people have the slightest idea what they mean when they accuse someone of being a fascist. There's only one man I could think of in the midst of all of this who I thought would be able to speak into this with clarity and wisdom. And that is my professor from Southern Evangelical Seminary, Dr. Bernard Mauser. What actually *is* fascism? What are some of the ironies with this accusation? What part does free speech play? There’s so much more to know about this, but I’m hoping this will give a broader perspective on the *real* hate that killed an innocent man, a brother in Christ, and a father. There is so much more to this conversation, but I did my best to give you some good information. Sorry for the choppy intro. I had to collect myself a few times.

Have you ever seen an ideology that is so out there, so evil, dangerous, and just absolutely wild, and think… there's NO way that people are going to believe this, because it's just so insane and untethered from reality? 

No, I’m not talking about the Woke Left. 
I’m talking about the Woke Right. Or as some have appropriately put it: The Woke “Reich.”

In my longest interview yet, I brought on my friend Will Spencer, a former New Ager who was also pulled into this world of woke-right propaganda. 

To understand the woke right, you have to understand that their worldview begins with: “the Jews are to blame for everything, and the Post World War 2 consensus is nothing more than a massive cover-up designed to protect them.” From there, every modern problem becomes a conspiracy: media, banks, academia, culture, medicine, even Pearl Harbor and 9/11. And yes… even the murder of Charlie Kirk. 
Some people will watch this and immediately decide I’m the enemy. But this needs to be exposed.

There always seem to be two common enemies of the prosperity gospel: Scripture and critical thinking. False teachers want to keep you away from both of them. Tytus Jones shares her story of how she used both critical thinking and scripture to see through the deception of the prosperity gospel... and more.

I recently released a video of a conversation I had on the street with Abdullah, a very kind Muslim. There were some things I did okay, but I think there was a lot I could've done better. So I invited my buddy David Wood on to analyze the conversation. It was fun, fascinating, and informative. Anytime I can learn how to go from mediocre to very okay, I'm here for it. 

If you don't know who David Wood is, he's been studying the topic of Islam for many years and I would consider him an expert in this area. His testimony and channel are here:

Aaron Abke. If you don't know the name (or how to pronounce it), I assure you that you've heard the concepts: manifestation, I AM affirmations, Christ consciousness, nonduality, the false and true self, reincarnation, channeled teachings, and much more. He has a growing platform and speaks with great confidence about the Bible, Christianity, and Jesus, but in a way that historic Christianity would label as blasphemous.

He came onto my radar a few months ago when some of you sent me some of his material, some of which made it into this video. You could tell something was off, but wanted clarity as to why. This video is my attempt to bring clarity to that confusion. In this video, I’ll break down some of Aaron’s core beliefs, highlight their influences, and compare them to biblical Christianity. I’ll also include clips from his content and his recent debate with Wesley Huff to provide a clearer picture of what he teaches. This is not a personal attack, just what I consider to be an honest examination of his theology through a biblical lens. I want to help Christians, but I'm also making this video in hopes that those who have gotten caught up in these teachings can see a different perspective. Jesus warns about deception. Wouldn't it be nice to know what that deception looks like? Bad theology hurts people and makes them victims of false teaching. And this is bad theology.

Few books have the potential to put Christians in a theological chokehold, quite like Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This book is more than just a best-seller. It's the entrepreneur's gospel, the self-help holy grail, the self-improvement manifesto, and, believe it or not, the sacred scripture of a 1930s secret cult. It has influenced millions of people and celebrities all around the world, giving credit to this book and its concepts for changing their lives. There are a lot of very good and true things to say about challenging ourselves to become more motivated and successful. There’s no doubt that Think and Grow Rich contains valuable insights about motivation and success—concepts that have genuinely helped many, including Christians. But is that all there is to this man and this book? Is there more lurking behind these motivational messages? I believe the answer is an emphatic yes. By the end of this video, I hope to convince you of the deeper, more complex reality behind the man and the message.

It took me months to put this video together. To prepare, I re-read Think and Grow Rich, watched the film adaptation (yes, that’s a thing), and followed the Napoleon Hill Institute on Instagram, engaging with their content regularly. I dove into Hill’s other works, consumed documentaries and videos about him, and I was also an avid follower of the New Thought beliefs held by Napoleon Hill, so I see him and this book with different eyes.

I think it's either crazy or awesome (or both) that you all like staring at a screen, listening to my face talk for over two hours. It takes a LOT of work, sometimes months, to put these videos together. So thanks for being crazy awesome.

Scientology is an odd religion (If it is even a religion). My friend Lindsey Medenwaldt knows a ridiculously random amount of information about this religion. So, naturally, I couldn't resist luring her onto my channel to spill the tea on all things Scientology. Where did this "religion" come from? What do they believe? And why are so many celebrities a part of the most bizarre cult in America? 

She's also one of the most wholesome people I've ever met who is way smarter than me. You should go follow her:

What do you do with a mega-famous influential billionaire who says she's a Christian... but denies the core beliefs of Christianity? Instead, she believes in the divinity of humanity, the power of affirmations, the ability to speak and think things into existence, and that all religions lead to God and much more. Isn't she a New Ager, then? 

No. In this video, my goal is to explain why. What is this stealthy spirituality of Oprah Winfrey, and what are people missing?
