Challenge the Demonization Christians
March 26th, 2021 | 23 mins 38 secs

2020 presidential election, christian worldview, christians and politics, true faith

February 4th, 2021 | 19 mins 49 secs
The first day he was in office, Biden signed an executive order that claims to prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, but what it really does is discriminate against biological females. Title IX protections, meant to honor and protect girls are gone. Our girls' dignity is at stake. We're sacrificing them for the sake of another struggle and that, ethically, is wrong. Rather than give them the message that they matter, we're delivering the message that they are less-than.

Education: Manipulating the Future Minds of America
January 14th, 2021 | 23 mins 30 secs
The country of tomorrow is being taught in the classroom today. We need to understand that there are people who want to tear our children away from what is Biblically right, wholesome, virtuous, and instill in them some radical view of what it means to be a human being today. We can not let that happen. The consequences are too great. Our kids are too precious to leave them to this fate.

The Power of The First Thing
January 8th, 2021 | 25 mins 18 secs

There's no doubt we'd all like 2021 to bring some normalcy and hope back to our lives. Is there anything to be gained by reflecting on the past year?

Technology and Your Children
December 10th, 2020 | 28 mins 40 secs
family values, social media, technology
God calls us to love our neighbors. This means we are to live in community and be in relationship with the people around us. When smart-phones distract us from forming and cultivating relationships, they not only hinder us from fulfilling God's call on our lives but also encourage inward, self-focus. When we expose our children to this technology, we may think we're giving them access to information and entertainment, but we also set them up to be distracted from the beautiful world that God created for us to enjoy.
