In this episode of What Are We Talking About?, host Ben Lewis breaks down the thin line between activism and anarchy through a Christian conservative lens. We’re diving deep into the headlines that are dominating our screens—from high-stakes jewelry heists in London to the destruction of property during political protests in the U.S.

Is stealing a diamond watch different from looting a sneaker shop if you claim it’s for "justice"? Or are they both symptoms of the same spiritual decay?

• The London Heist vs. Political Riots: Comparing the "unadulterated greed" of jewelry thieves to the "righteous destruction" of political looters.

• The Eighth Commandment & Property Rights: Why the sanctity of property isn't just a legal rule, but a biblical pillar of stewardship and community security.

• The National Front Door: A common-sense look at the U.S. border crisis. We explore why wanting a better life doesn’t grant a "sin pass" to bypass the law, using the analogy of a family entering your private home without an invitation.

• Toxic Empathy: How to balance true Christian compassion for the "sojourner" with the necessity of the rule of law.

• Moral Relativism: The danger of making ourselves our own gods by deciding which laws we choose to follow based on our political grievances.

Ben challenges us to look past the "progressive justifications" and return to the timeless standards of Scripture and the Rule of Law. If we normalize crime in the name of social justice, are we just turning our nation into the very places people are trying to escape?

Family conflict can drain your spirit, test your faith, and leave you wondering: Is it unchristian to step back? In this episode of What Are We Talking About?, Ben Lewis dives into the overlooked biblical wisdom behind boundaries, distance, and self-protection.

This is not about revenge or giving up on people. It’s about choosing peace over perpetual warfare.

Using scripture from Proverbs, Romans, 2 Timothy, and the teachings of Jesus, Ben explores when forgiveness is required — but access is not — and how to protect your spiritual and emotional health from destructive relationships. If you’ve ever been told to “just accept it” or had your faith used against you to tolerate toxic behavior, this episode offers clarity, courage, and practical guidance.

You’ll learn:
• What the Bible really says about avoiding conflict
• How to set topic, time, and emotional boundaries
• When “bad company corrupts good morals” applies to family
• The meaning of shaking the dust off your feet
• Why forgiveness doesn’t equal unlimited access

This conversation is for anyone navigating toxic family dynamics, strained friendships, or faith-based guilt around protecting their peace.

Forgive freely. Love wisely. Guard your spirit.

Safe Harbor | A 5-Day Devotional Series

When the Prodigal Son finally reached home, the Father didn't put him on probation; He put him at the head of the table. By calling for the best robe, the signet ring, and the sandals, the Father was making a public declaration of restoration. He wasn't just bringing a wanderer home; He was reinstating a son to his full authority and honor.

In the final day of our Safe Harbor series, we explore the radical conclusion of the journey: the celebration. Many of us live as though we are on "spiritual probation," waiting for the other shoe to drop. But God’s joy over your return is infinitely greater than your regret over your departure. Today, we invite you to take off the rags of your past and put on the robe of righteousness. You are found, you are valued, and you are finally home.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The symbolic meaning of the robe, the ring, and the sandals.

• Why the Father chooses a party over a probation period.

• Choosing the Father’s joy over the "Elder Brother’s" bitterness.

• Special Invitation: A guided prayer for those ready to commit their lives to Christ and secure their eternity.

Scripture Focus:

"Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him... For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found." — Luke 15:22-24

Join us for this powerful conclusion as we pray to live with the confidence of the fully forgiven.

Safe Harbor | A 5-Day Devotional Series

Episode Description:In the ancient world, a dignified man did not run. To do so, he would have to lift his robes and expose his ankles—an act considered deeply shameful. Yet, in the story of the Prodigal Son, we see a Father who abandons his dignity to preserve his child. He didn’t wait on the porch with his arms crossed, demanding an apology; the moment he saw his son on the horizon, he ran.

In Day 4 of our Safe Harbor series, we examine the scandalous, overwhelming heart of God. We often think we need to clean ourselves up or "close the gap" before God will accept us, but the Gospel tells a different story. God takes on the shame of the run to cover the shame of our past. Today, we’re talking about a Father who doesn't meet us halfway—He runs the whole distance to meet us exactly where we are, pigpen smell and all.

In this episode, we discuss:

• ​The cultural significance of the Father’s run and what it reveals about God’s character.
• ​Why we don’t need to "fix ourselves" before turning toward home.
• ​The truth that God is more interested in a reunion than a lecture.

Scripture Focus:

"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him." — Luke 15:20

Join us as we pray to experience the embrace of a Father who has been watching the horizon for us all along.

Safe Harbor | A 5-Day Devotional Series

When we mess up, our first instinct is often to trade our "sonship" for a "contract." We see this in the Prodigal Son as he walks home, rehearsing his speech: “Make me like one of your hired servants.” He was ready to pivot from a relationship to a transaction, believing that if he couldn't be a son, he could at least earn his keep.

In Day 3 of our Safe Harbor series, we deconstruct the exhausting myth of performance-based faith. We often think that after a season of wandering, we have to be "extra good" to get back into God’s good graces. But the Gospel isn't a labor contract; it’s a family inheritance. Today, we explore how to stop practicing our "servant speeches" and start accepting the gift of grace that we could never earn and—thankfully—can never lose.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why we try to work our way out of the holes we’ve dug for ourselves.

• The difference between a wage earned and a gift received.

• How to rest in the truth that God’s love is based on His character, not our worthiness.

Scripture Focus:

"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourselves. It is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." — Ephesians 2:8-9

Join us as we pray for the grace to stop performing and start resting in our identity as beloved children of the Father.

Safe Harbor | A 5-Day Devotional Series

The most dangerous moment in our lives isn't usually the "pigpen"—it’s the moment just before the money runs out, while the music is still playing and the illusion of independence is still intact.

In Day 2 of our Safe Harbor series, we look at the turning point of the Prodigal Son’s journey: the arrival of the famine. We often view our struggles and our "dry seasons" as signs of failure, but what if they are actually a severe mercy? Today, we explore how God uses the emptiness of the world’s promises to remind us of the abundance of His table. If you feel isolated, hungry, or stuck today, this episode is a reminder that your hunger is a homing signal—it's the very thing God is using to turn your face toward home.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why sin promises a crowd but always leaves us in a lonely field.

• How the "famines" of life serve as a wake-up call to our true identity.

• Finding hope in the realization that the world’s bread will never satisfy.

Scripture Focus: > "After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need." — Luke 15:14

Join us as we pray for the courage to "come to our senses" and recognize that the famine is only meant to lead us back to the feast.

Safe Harbor | A 5-Day Devotional Series

We live in a culture that thrives on the "mirage of elsewhere"—the idea that a new job, a different city, or total independence will finally make us feel alive. But as the younger son in Luke 15 discovered, the distant country is high on promises and low on delivery.

In this special 5-day series, Safe Harbor, we explore what it means to stop performing for God’s favor and start living from it. Each episode offers a soul-searching reflection on the Parable of the Prodigal Son, helping you find true satisfaction in the presence of the Father.

The mainstream media playbook is back in Minneapolis, but are you seeing the full picture? In today’s deep dive, we cross-examine the January 7th fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good. Is it "state violence," or a calculated deflection from the $19 billion Minnesota fraud scandal currently rocking the state’s leadership? We break down the facts vs. the narrative through a biblical lens of personal responsibility and truth.

Plus, we cover the 9 massive stories you missed since December 10th:

• Operation Absolute Resolve: The inside story of the surgical strike in Caracas that captured Nicolas Maduro.

• The Powell Subpoenas: Why the DOJ is investigating Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and what it means for interest rates.

• L.A. Zombie Fires: The Lockman fire destroys 7,000 structures—is it climate change or failed forest management?

• Tariff Wars: President Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Iran’s trading partners and the squeeze on the regime.

• The $4 Trillion Club: Alphabet (Google) hits a historic milestone thanks to Gemini 3.0—but what does AI dominance mean for conservative speech?

• Epstein Files: Congress overrides a veto to demand total transparency.

From the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Tibet to the fallout of the Assad regime in Syria, we’re connecting the dots between global chaos and the fight for the American soul.

Stop being the product of the media's outrage machine. Get the truth. Stay vigilant.
