Just a nerdy Christian who likes exegesis, Tolkien, maps, history, and getting to know the Creator.

If you want to come at me about how I voted in November, I suggest you do your math first if you claim to be pro-life.

I didn't like either candidate. I still believe one was a lesser evil.

You can disagree with me on who was the lesser evil. But don't pretend like any vote against Trump was some clear morally wrong choice.

Btw, Trump has no stated desire to reduce abortion and hasn't even signaled an intention to take actions targeted at reducing abortion. 2024 saw a record number of abortions despite abortion restriction laws, and I suspect 2025 will be even worse.

Christians, our fight for life has to go beyond simple exercise of legal force, and beyond abortion as well.

Let me be clear. I can appreciate the Biblical case to be made for the complementarian idea that pastoral ministry is restricted to men, particularly the role of head pastor.

You can make that case.

You cannot preach or exercise what John MacArthur preached and exercised towards women, though. Not without leaving a significant amount of ignored Scripture and a trail of victims of abusive men in your wake.

So yea, I wish the Church would just let his passing go silently, ignored like the victims GCC ignored.

I will happily tell you about how, yes, a ton of the Democrat party establishment is wildly corrupt and messed up.

In fact, Democrat corruption and manipulation helped immensely in securing Trump's primary win in 2016, as they feared a Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, or Scott Walker campaign and foolishly thought they could crush Trump.

My issue comes when people act like "their side" (typically the GOP for Christians) isn't also.

Y'all, neither of these parties are representing Christ. So Church, you do your thing correctly, and "don't put your trust in princes." (Psalm 146:3)

I recently saved the following to my phone's clipboard to just leave it as a consistent response to abrasive words from fellow Christians on the internet:

"Colossians 4:6 - I say this not for me, but for the sake of those you may represent Christ to. Peace. 👍"

Have used it twice in the last 24 hours or so. 😅

Our problem, American Church, is that far too often we only call out what's mentioned in verse 50, without a care in the world about anything mentioned in verse 49.

Let's be more consistent about the whole of Scripture.

Pray for peace.

Pray for de-escalation.

Pray that Iran does not have remaining nuclear material, enrichment capabilities, and an emboldened drive for vengeance.

But let's all be a little careful when speaking of things none of us normies have the full picture on.

God bless, y'all.

One of the biggest failures of 2000s Evangelicalism (in my opinion) was in teaching many of us to read Scripture as a direct list of Do's and Don't's.

Scripture will guide your life. BUT it's more complex than a simple checklist or FAQ to be consulted, expecting direct restrictions or permissions for the challenges and topics of our modern world.

I hope this is helpful for you!

Some of you have asked me my thoughts on this.

Been crazyyy busy this week, but was able to put this together.

I hope it's helpful for y'all.

It's not super comprehensive, and this is an extremely complex topic coming to a flashpoint, but these are core base things for us to keep in mind.

Y'all. Let's have some fun this month.

Comment a nomination for the Christian Music Video champion of the Early 2000s.

I want the things we all know. (Stars by Switchfoot will of course be a contender.)

AND

The things only us Millennials would remember. (Stacie Orrico's More to Life, anyone?)

Each day, I'll post at least one reel with an excerpt of one contending music video on the top of the screen, with their competitor playing subsequently on the bottom.

Each reel will have a vote for you to select the champion.

Let's kick this summer off with some flashbacks to the youth group days. 😆

I'm with you, .

Also, for those of you who entirely choose to ignore the core message of this post and aren't content with saying God doesn't do something plainly wicked without Scripture literally spelling it out for you: 2 Samuel 12:23

If David was going to be reunited with his child in death, then that child was not damned. Unless you want to say David was damned.

It was nice to see something "political" I shared actually not result in controversy for once last week when I brought up these sneaky elements of the "Big, Beautiful Bill."

There are some things we should all be able to agree on.

I'm simultaneously relieved that the efforts to sneak these things in appear to be getting stonewalled in the Senate, and disappointed that the House dared to allow them to pass in the first place.
