Since the explosion of the large-language model in 2022, AI has rapidly invaded just about every possible industry, from academia to film and even household appliances. Whirlpool actually sells a dishwasher with “AI Intelligent Wash”. Tesla Optimus Robots promise to change the dynamics of homemaking, manufacturing, and policing when they are released. AI is a revolution on scale with the printing press, the internet, and the television, if not all 3 combined.

While some aspects of this are positive, there is a much more worrying question underneath it all. What do you do when AI can do the jobs of most entry and mid-level employees, making the jobs of millions of Americans obsolete? Microsoft and business insider downsized just in the last week, cutting thousands of jobs that can be done by AI. If AI and robots can flip burgers, make coffee, manufacture cars, drive you to work, and do your landscaping you’ve put millions of millions of fast food workers, assembly line workers, landscapers, and taxi drivers out of a job. If you think wealthy inequality is bad now, wait until the rich have their productivity supercharged and the poor lose what little income they already had.

The rise of nationalism, wealth inequality, global conflict, and 5th-generation warfare have already pushed the Western world to the brink. What happens when AI really takes off?

Once upon a time, gambling was something done in back rooms and smoke-filled basements. Now? One in five Americans has a sports betting app — right next to their Bible app. In 2024 alone, Americans legally wagered nearly $150 billion on sports. Nearly all of it — 95% — was done online. No dice, no bookie. Just tap, swipe, lose.

For over a century, both American law and Christian conscience agreed: gambling was a vice. Not merely a private sin, but a public threat. It corrupted sports — from the 1919 Black Sox scandal to Pete Rose. It bankrupted homes. It bred addiction. So in 1992, Congress passed the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, barring states from legalizing sports betting. The goal was to shield young people, uphold the integrity of sports, and slow the spread of a morally corrosive practice. That restraint lasted 26 years — until the Supreme Court struck down PASPA in 2018. Since then, we’ve witnessed a cultural transformation: not a thoughtful reappraisal of risk and reward, but a full surrender to the gods of revenue, entertainment, and ease.

And that surrender has been lucrative. Lobbyists promised lawmakers untold tax revenue. Tech companies engineered betting apps that are frictionless, addictive, and nearly impossible to close. Now, children can stream an NBA game and place a live bet on who misses the next free throw. The app encourages it. So does the league.

But is it just harmless fun? A little added thrill to the game? Or is it something deeper — a system designed not to entertain, but to exploit? When gambling apps track your every wager, target your weaknesses, and make it easier to bet than to withdraw, is that still freedom — or is it a new form of bondage?

And what happens when Christians get pulled into that system? For centuries, the church understood games of chance as morally precarious, if not downright dangerous. Not because randomness is sinful — after all, “the lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord” — but because gambling treats chance as profit, and profit as providence. It tempts us to see fortune as fate, and risk as recreation.

So what are we really looking at here — a neutral technology that needs guarding? Or a predatory industry that preys on disordered loves, promising fast money and delivering slow ruin?

Today we trace the long Christian view of gambling — from biblical cleromancy to digital entrapment — and ask whether the modern church has fallen silent just as Mammon found a new app store. Let’s get into it.

This past weekend, federal agents raided businesses across Los Angeles—two Home Depots, a clothing wholesaler, and more—arresting over a hundred illegal immigrants. Hours later, masked protesters blocked freeways, torched federal vehicles, and hurled fireworks at LAPD officers. The streets of L.A. didn’t just erupt—they revealed something. We’re not just arguing over immigration enforcement. We’re staring down a deeper crisis: whether America still has the will to define who it is—and the honesty to acknowledge who it has been.

For decades, California has quietly built a legal scaffolding designed to shield itself from federal immigration enforcement. From SB 54 to sanctuary city ordinances, local jurisdictions don’t defy federal law outright—they maneuver around it. Now, cities like Glendale are cutting ties with ICE, while taxpayer-funded activist groups rally thousands to disrupt deportations. All of it legal. All of it coordinated. And all of it pointing to a growing divide: between those who believe our national identity should be preserved, and those who insist it must be deconstructed.

Supporters of these sanctuary policies argue that they reflect compassion and community trust. But what’s being obscured beneath that language is something far more consequential: a moral unwillingness to distinguish citizen from foreigner, and a political unwillingness to enforce the boundaries that make a nation a nation.

We are watching a nation lose the will to be itself. This is more than a clash over immigration—it’s a struggle over whether the American nation has the right to protect its own integrity, or whether it must yield to a new order that treats enforcement as cruelty and national loyalty as shame. These protests, these raids, this chaos—none of it is happening in a vacuum. It’s the fruit of a generation taught to despise the very idea of national inheritance.

Today, we’re going to examine what’s really driving the riots in L.A., the legal infrastructure that allows states to resist federal enforcement, and most importantly—the theological and moral failure to love our own people rightly. Stay with us.

Pastor Michael Belch teaches from Matthew 9:35-38.

Tune in as Dr. Wolfe and Pastor Reece discuss the use of Natural Law & Theonomy.

In May of 2022, Elon Musk announced he would no longer support the Democrat party, citing them as having become the party of “division and hate.” The richest man in the world would go on to purchase Twitter and invest over $290 million into the 2024 election to get Donald Trump and Republican candidates elected. These two acts alone likely changed the course of the Right Wing movement in America forever. After the elections, he then left his businesses to work on cutting wasteful spending in the government via the Department of Government Efficiency, which went on to cost his companies millions in boycotts, arson, and negative press.

But that honeymoon period is now over. Fed up with the proposed deficit increases and perceived snubs of Tesla and Starlink in the massive spending bill working its way through Congress, Elon Musk began to lash out at the bill and Republicans who supported it. Never one to let an insult slide, Donald Trump quickly became critical of Elon and his subsidies, and it devolved rapidly from there.

Now the two most important individuals in the world are at bitter odds with one another. Elon accused Trump of appearing in the Epstein files; Trump shot back that he is a ketamine addict who should go back to Africa. No one can chart a path through the ticking time bombs of out-of-control spending, mass immigration, and trying to fund a government that spends over $200,000 per second.

#trump #elonmusk #politics

In the cultural war zones of corporate America, something strange is happening. June has arrived—but the battlefield looks... quiet. Rainbow logos are missing from brands that once flew them proudly. Anheuser-Busch, after three decades, has pulled its sponsorship from St. Louis Pride. Target, rejected by organizers in its own backyard, is sitting on the sidelines in Minneapolis. And Nike? For the first time since 1999, no global Pride collection.

Pride Month—once the high holy season of the modern West—looks less like a parade and more like a retreat.

But is it?

Is this merely a tactical withdrawal, a marketing pause in response to conservative backlash? Or is it something deeper? Is it, perhaps, the beginning of a broader collapse—something more than a pendulum swing?

We’ve seen pendulum swings before. The 1920s flaunted its rebellion, only to sober up in the dustbowl austerity of the Great Depression. The sexual revolution of the 60s gave way to the Moral Majority of the 80s. But neither lasted. Both faded. Both were reactions, not reformations or returns to what is true.

In this episode, we’ll examine that pattern—what distinguishes a short-lived recoil from a lasting revival. We’ll report on what’s really happening with Pride Month in 2025: which corporations are retreating, which still advance under a quieter banner, and how the local landscape tells a more complicated story than national headlines admit.

And then we’ll ask the only question that matters: If this were the beginning of a true Christian reformation—what would it look like?

Because repentance doesn’t look like silence. It looks like confession. It looks like repudiation. It looks like CEOs not just dropping rainbow logos but publicly affirming God’s truth.

The smoke may be clearing—but the war isn’t over. Not even close.

Let’s get into it.

Christian men are getting involved in politics more than ever before. Whether it was reading Stephen Wolfe’s book or watching their mayor approve a pride parade that radicalized them, these men are realizing that pursuit of political office is a high calling. The founding fathers of America spoke highly of political office, considering it not merely a job or hobby, but a weighty responsibility. James Madison said the first aim of every political body should be to find men with the “most wisdom to discern and the most virtue to pursue the common good of the society.”

But actually doing politics is not easy. If you’ve watched House of Cards or All The President's Men you actually have a pretty good idea of how cutthroat and ruthless politics can be. And here joining us today is Luis Canosa — a city council member right here in Irving, Texas. Since being elected a year ago he has been fighting tooth and nail against dark money, paid protestors, and even private investigators that all want to turn his hometown of Irving into the next tax farm for gambling and sports resorts.

Matthew 9:27-34 intentionally contains a theological irony: the physically blind recognize Jesus as Messiah, while the religious leaders in Israel remain spiritually blind. In other words, these blind men see more than the sighted. Specifically, they see Jesus as the promised King from David’s lineage (2 Samuel 7; Isaiah 11). “Son of David” was an explicit messianic title. Lastly, their cry is clearly rooted in faith, not entitlement. They plead for mercy, not merit.
