Over the last three years, the Biden administration quietly courted well-known members of the Christian community. This resulted in what can only be described as spiritual abuse, as we were told to "wear a mask" and "get a shot" if we truly loved Christ. How did this happen? And how can we guard against it for the future? Join me today as we look at the connection between government and "Big Eva."

As the Republican landscape shapes up for 2024, I feel a warning must be issued: the in-fighting, the bullying, the lack of a cohesive vision for the future… is all very troubling. The Republican party lacks true statesmen leaders—and as a result, we have descended into partisan tribalism. Unity is not found in canceling fellow Conservatives or in political elitism on either side of the aisle. Either we address this now, and bring back statesmanship and true civic engagement, or we risk continui...

Have you ever made a wrong call about something? Ever missed the mark? If so, you're not alone! We have all done and said things we wish we could take back.

It seems like we have entered some sort of a weird dystopian time in the United States where what we used to believe about our country is in question. I watched on the news yesterday as Rudy Giuliani turned himself in the political prosecution of Donald Trump.

It tells us a lot about the state of our union... and yet in the midst of all this, God's word remains the sam...

Families are messy, aren’t they? One of the reasons I love the bible so much is that we get to see the messy side of all the characters …. Including bad parenting. God included these accounts so that we can learn lessons from these real people—lessons about the use of trickery, favoritism in families, deciding to run ahead of God, misunderstanding what God is doing, parental manipulation and more. We can take so many good things away from the parenting mistakes that were made by Abraham, Isaac a...
