Those familiar with Charlotte Mason, a 19th-20th century British educator, will likely be familiar with the term narration as it was an integral part of the way she viewed education. For those unfamiliar, narration is the process by which one tells back what they have read or heard, either orally or in writing. In opposition…
Insurrection: A Sin Worthy of Death
The Rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16:1-19) 16 Now Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, who were Reubenites, took men 2 and rebelled against Moses, along with some of the Israelites, 250 leaders of the community, chosen from the assembly, famous men. 3 And they…
Is Sincerity a Lost Virtue?
Recently, New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho dropped a recruitment video, enticing young men to join their academic ranks. For those who haven't seen it, I'll link it here. The video is fairly boilerplate in what you'd expect from Wilson and Friends. There's the nod to Christian Nationalism (a movement rife with exegetical error),…
Why I’m Not A Complementarian
In light of the recent events that have taken place within the Southern Baptist Convention, I thought it'd be a good idea to talk more deeply about biblical gender roles. Before we begin, I want to make it clear that this is not a post about the SBC specifically (particularly since I'm not affiliated with…

This, the paradox: What happens when An irresistible force Meets an immovable object?
The Babylon Bee and Elon Musk: When Comedy Becomes Cowardice
"We're wondering if you could do us a quick solid and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior." No, not a line from a Babylon Bee article, but an actual quote from the interview the Bee did with Elon Musk recently. Oh, boy. This one has me riled up. I know I'm behind the curve…
Paid by the Convert: Revivalism in America
Today I'm linking an enlightening video on revivalism in the United States and why American churches today incorporate practices such as altar calls, mindless repetition in music, spontaneous baptisms, speaking in tongues, and other forms of emotionalism in worship. Of particular interest is the fact that some preachers during this revival period worked on commission,…
Christian Takeaways From Oprah’s Royal Interview
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve heard about the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interview that aired earlier this week. Both here in the States and across the pond, people sat glued to their screens as Meghan and Harry leveled accusation after accusation against the royal family and the institution of the…
Jesus is Lord of All, Not Lord of A Lot
I went into watching this Paul Washer video because I was interested in learning more about biblical courtship. Instead, I got a powerful reminder of why we, as Christians, need to affirm that our commitment to Christ extends into every aspect of our lives. Synchronization of culture and Christianity is NOT an option in the…
Age Segregation is the Death of the Church
It’s not uncommon for us in the United States to have arguments about generational differences. Baby Boomers are stubborn and selfish, the Gen X crowd is cynical and rebellious, and Millennials are whiny and entitled. That’s just the tip of the iceberg in the generational blame game. It’s no wonder we fixate on our differences…
