1815-1861 America. Though this may be an overlooked era of American history, it has many parallels to the modern day. Sure the history may not repeat, but it seems to rhyme. What can we learn about the historical phenomena of this era? Can it provide some warning to us now? Join me as I draw out the parallels between Antebellum America and our current day.

It seems like just about every sin is openly encouraged in our society now. However, I think there is one that still correctly receives a healthy discouragement and condemnation of. What makes this sin so special? Well, in a sense, nothing.

(Spoiler Warning!) Is there a deeper meaning to the Marvel productions of late? Are there seeds that are being planted into the minds of the viewers?
Why is Marvel creating good villains, but insufficient heroes? We explore all of this. We look at why the main Marvel villains are wrong. The risk of a villain being motivated by a good cause but having an evil solution. Popular culture productions are important to analyze, as they are a powerful force of swaying the mind and the culture. As Christians we have to compare the stories of our day to the ideal of Christ, to the story of God's grand divine drama.

Many issues within the public discourse come from fundamentally different views of history. Can the gospel give us a fair and comprehensive view of history? In today's episode I explore the question of what does the gospel have to say about how we view and judge our own history? Plus, the Catholic church in the U.S. is talking about denying the communion to Catholic Democrats who support abortion! Where is this coming from, and what does this show about the Protestant church? Lastly, the folk country music singer Willi Carlisle blessed us with his song "Angels." Listen as I analyze why it is one of the most Christian songs of the last few years. Strap in for this marathon podcast.

There's so much division, chaos, and unrest going on. On today's podcast I go through three examples of current events in America that are indicative of where the culture and society is going to, and it seems very plausible that Christians may not be in a comfy spot along the way. Join me as I discuss "Amen and Awomen" in Congress, Storming the Capitol, and Tech Companies going full tyrannical.

Day to day, we often try to forget about the evil and suffering around us in the world until one day it gets close to us and we assess our own beliefs. Assessing our own beliefs on this issue often involves asking where God is in all of this.
In this talk I offer a way to think about how God can allow evil and suffering, but more importantly I highlight the strength of Christianity when faced with this issue, because it addresses the deepest desire of our souls when we experience it.

Send in your questions about the talk and any general questions you have about Christianity!

Today's society has distracted us from considering death, what may be beyond, and what our view of death means for our lives today. In this episode I urge listeners to consider what death means for them and what may come after. On top of that, assess your own worldview and see if it lives up to the experiences that we know are true. I also talk about an interesting story about Trump's "scandalous" comments on evangelicals, or not so much. Finally, I pose a question to those who have worked in ministry for mentally handicapped people.
