On this episode of Truth at All Costs, Rev. Tyrel Bramwell dives into the idea that truth is an acquired taste—and most people haven’t acquired it.

Rev. Matthew Harrison, President of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, was asked about the decades long unionism at the Lutheran Church of Arcata as the 2025 Southern District Convention (March 24-25). What do you think about his answer? Was it appropriate? Was it honest? He said I was "quite incensed." Is that true? In this video I share all my emails to the California-Nevada-Hawaii District President, Rev. Michael Lange, as well as my emails to Rev. Harrison and his office from September 2022...

George Janko defies 2 Peter 1:20, putting forward his own interpretation of Scripture, and calling all orthodox Christians blasphemers in the process. Martin Chemnitz destroys George Janko's position by simply letting Scripture tell us how we are to read it, using the biblically sourced principles of interpretation.

Our beloved Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod has been guilty of the sin of unionism for decades. Despite multiple promises over the last 2 year, 5 months, and 13 days (at the time of this video was posted) that it would end soon, CNH District President, Rev. Mike Lange, and Synod Pres. Rev. Matthew Harrison have failed to promptly resolve the sinful situation. Now I come to the church at large, during this penitential season of Lent, to ask you to join me in prayer, that our elected officials wo...

70 Christians were beheaded in the DRC. The main stream media couldn't be bothered to report on this major event. Why not? It's not a surprise.

Is it a political opinion to say DOGE is what the Bible calls good stewardship or is it a simple statement of truth?

In this episode of Truth at All Costs I let the Bible speak for itself, make the case that this debate is further evidence of a polluted ecclesiastical culture, and contend with the critiques of my sign.

Joe Rogan asked Mel Gibson for logical reasons for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Was Gibson's personal experience a good place to start? It's what St. Polycarp did. In this episode of the Truth at All Costs we look at 1 Peter 3:15 in context to understand that apologetics isn't a field of study, but what every Christian does no matter his age or education.

The word ambition is used to translate two different words in the Greek New Testament: φιλοτιμέομαι and ἐριθεία. One is ambition for neighbor's sake while the other is selfish ambition.

βρέφος is the Greek word translated as baby or infant. The study of this word is enlightening. It’s used for babies born and babies not yet born. Whether inside or outside of the womb, in Greek, a baby is a baby. Christians oppose abortion because murdering babies is sinful.

Maybe our ancestors had a better way and if we returned to them, we could actually see positive results in our world.
