No King’s Day Was Really Nice. And That’s What Worries Me.
No King’s Day Episode 4 went off pretty much as predicted.
Cities all over America were filled with a massive, ebullient mob of families, schoolteachers, ministers, parents, grocery store clerks, college students, business owners, grandparents, and toddlers on shoulders.
Highways and overpasses wer…

I Went To Pride Dressed As Jesus. Here’s What Happened...
They say God works in mysterious ways.
I’m gonna co-sign that sentiment.

An estimated 89 million registered voters did not vote in the 2024 general election.
I know many of them. They are family members, friends, neighbors, and people I meet in passing at high school football games, in checkout lines, and at the gym. I meet hundreds more of them every day on social med…

Everyone is Cool With Jesus... Except White Evangelicals
There’s a fairly wild development over the past few years within the White Evangelical ecosystem in America: a complete rejection of Jesus.
Labeling empathy toxic and declaring kindness woke, they’ve pivoted hard from his commands to love their disparate neighbors as themselves, rebranding the fait…
It’s Time To Say Goodbye, America
Friends in America, we will soon say goodbye to something.
One way or another, this year will end with a farewell.
