  • Tricks Employers Use to Push You Out

    Sometimes losing a position does not happen all at once.


    Sometimes it happens through quiet moves, strange decisions, sudden changes, location shifts, pressure, politics, and little workplace tricks that are designed to make you uncomfortable enough to leave, move, or accept what is happening.


    In this episode of You’re Probably Right, MCM talks about the ways employers, bosses, and workplaces can push people out without saying it directly.


    This is a conversation about workplace politics, power, control, unfair treatment, job changes, being moved around, being replaced, and what happens when people in charge already know who they want in a position before you even realize the game is being played.


    The bigger question is simple:


    Are they managing the workplace, or are they quietly moving people around to make room for who they really want?


    MCM reflects on what it feels like to lose a job, get pushed out of a role, be shifted to another location, or watch workplace decisions unfold in ways that do not feel honest.


    This episode is for anyone who has ever felt targeted, replaced, pressured, moved, or pushed out at work while everyone pretended it was just normal business.


    If you have ever wondered whether your workplace was making decisions around you instead of being honest with you, this episode is for you.

  • Real Questions, Honest Answers: School, Work, Culture, and Family

    What do schools, workplaces, families, technology, culture, and relationships all have in common?

    They all force people to make decisions about values, responsibility, discipline, freedom, and how society should actually work.

    In this episode of You’re Probably Right, MCM works through a wide range of questions about everyday life, including phones in schools, hard work versus smart work, movies and youth culture, internet censorship, school uniforms, online learning, marriage, workplace projects, hybrid work, the four day workweek, antiracism, and family unity.

    This is a question and answer style episode, but the bigger theme is how people think through difficult topics without just repeating whatever culture says is popular at the moment.

    MCM brings his usual mix of personal opinion, faith, social commentary, education, workplace experience, and everyday reasoning to questions that still matter today.

    If you enjoy honest thinking, practical questions, cultural reflection, and answers that do not always fit inside the usual box, this episode is for you.

  • Guard Your Mind: Faith, Music, Movies, and the Emotions That Shape You

    What are you allowing into your mind?


    In this episode of You’re Probably Right, MCM reflects on generosity, loss, disappointment, faith, music, movies, emotional memory, and the way entertainment can quietly shape how we think, feel, and live.


    The conversation begins with a simple question:


    How do we cultivate a giving spirit in ourselves and in our families?


    MCM talks about giving because it is good, giving without performing for credit, and remembering that salvation itself is a free gift worth more than anything we could ever give.


    From there, the episode moves into heavier territory: losing everything, facing disappointment, grieving honestly, fighting bitterness, and trying to rebuild life one small step at a time.


    MCM reflects on biblical examples like Job and Joseph, and what those stories can teach us when life does not turn out the way we hoped.


    The conversation also looks at entertainment and influence. Music, movies, books, voices, lyrics, images, and stories can stay with us for years. They can attach themselves to memories, losses, victories, heartbreak, bad decisions, and seasons of life.


    For some people, songs and films do not just entertain. They become emotional soundtracks.


    MCM talks about why Christians should think carefully about what they watch, what they listen to, and what they allow to keep tugging at their emotions.


    This is not about pretending every movie or song is automatically evil. It is about discernment, wisdom, spiritual awareness, and asking whether something is legal, enjoyable, and popular, but still unprofitable for your soul.


    If you have ever wondered how music, movies, memories, grief, disappointment, generosity, and faith all connect, this episode is for you.

  • Dealing with anger
    stories of the angry police officer 
    What we all experience, the consequences and the effects of human anger. We have all been angry at times in our own lives. And we've had people who were angry with us and anger as a force or as a power. It's one of the most destructive forces that can be unleashed among human beings. And it is an emotion, a posture and attitude that is so powerful and so real and so pervasive in our culture that you would think we would have a better handle on our understanding of it. And yet it seems as though we don't understand very much about anger. And yet the scripture is by no means silent. On this matter of anger. And I'd like to turn your attention for a moment. To the New Testament, to the fourth chapter of Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Beginning with verse 25, Ephesians four, 25, the Apostle writes these words. Therefore, putting away lying. Let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbour. four, We are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin. And do not let the sun go down on your path, nor give place to the devil. Now here, Paul addresses this difficult problem of anger. And he does it in a rather unusual way.  inspired by R.C Sproul
