Today, I discuss the state of junior college basketball in 2026. Due to name, image, and likeness, kids are trying to get the best deal possible. From players announcing their commitment on social media like it's the NBA Draft to the extinction of player loyalty, I dive into the effect, both positive and negative, that NIL has had on JUCO basketball.

In this episode, I briefly recap the State of the Union Address, and discuss the latest on the Epstein Files.

Then, I break down popular Christian sayings people swear are bible verses...but aren't. From "God helps those who help themselves" (thanks, Benjamin Franklin) to "Cleanliness is next to godliness" and "God won't give you more than you can handle," I separate Scripture from spiritual-sounding folklore.

With a little cultural commentary, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond coffee-mug theology and actually open the Bible for themselves - because sounding biblical and being biblical are two very different things.

In this episode, I briefly preview tonight's State of the Union address and discuss the NYPD getting pelted with snowballs by an angry mob.

I dismantle Texas legislator James Talarico's claims about same-sex marriage and the Bible.

Then, I close by reflecting on a memorial service I spoke at Saturday.

In this episode, I attempt to answer the question, "Do women have to work harder to vote?"

Then, I tackle what the Bible actually says - and doesn't say - about abortion from a conservative Christian perspective. I break down key biblical themes about the sanctity of life, and the difference between cultural and biblical truth. It's honest, thoughtful, and rooted in Scripture - with a reminder that conviction and compassion are not enemies. Truth matters. And Christians are called to bring both.

In this episode, I take a nostalgic look back at the toys of the 70s and 80s that were somehow sold to children despite being one engineering tweak away from a liability lawsuit. From lawn darts to clackers to playgrounds built like obstacle courses for gladiators, this episode mixes sharp humor with cultural commentary on how childhood risk, independence, and resilience have changed over time. Expect a few chuckles, a little disbelief, and the comforting realization that if you grew up then, you were basically part kid, part stunt double.

In this episode, I tackle the pressure some Christians feel to publicly perform outrage over every social issue. With humor, bite, and a little tough love, I talk about why not posting doesn't mean not caring, how Christians can support institutions like law enforcement, while still demanding accountability, and why your faith is measured by obedience to God - not by social media reactions.

Today I discuss Valentismas - What is and how it came to be.

Then, I talk bout Super Bowl LX, an ugly game dominated by the Seattle defense.

Finally, I break down Bad Bunny's halftime performance from a male Generation X perspective, along with some reactions from celebrities.

In this episode, I talk honestly about why I'm choosing to sit out the Super Bowl this year - or at least try. From the NFL's growing embrace of political and cultural activism to questions around values, leadership, and the halftime show, I wrestle with what it means to be a Christian engaging a culture that often pulls us in the opposite direction. With humility, humor, and a little self-confession, I explore whether sports have become the opiate of the masses - and what healthier, more meaningful alternatives might look like for Super Bowl Sunday.

In this episode, I take a clear but compassionate look at the Christian Deconstruction movement, and why it often leads people away from historic, biblical faith rather than toward deeper truth. I explore how deconstruction commonly grows out of bad theology, selective Bible reading, reshaping God to fit modern culture, and building faith on the church instead of Christ. Using scripture, I also examine warning signs of false faith and religious deidentification, while offering a better path forward - rooted, humble, and anchored in God's Word. A gentle, yet firm reminder that Christianity doesn't need to be torn down to be authentic; it needs to be understood rightly.

In this episode, I make the case - despite being a child of the 80s - that 90s music was actually better. From the flashy excess of hair metal and novelty rap to the raw honesty of grunge, alternative, and story-driven hip-hop, I look at how music went from image to substance, from big hair to big feelings - and why the 90s might be when music finally grew a soul.
