That Moment When Paula “Jezebel” White Compared Trump to Christ

Publisher — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 17:31:02 +0000

I thought I had heard it all. I really did. Paula White has spent years building a reputation as one of the most brazen purveyors of prosperity nonsense in modern evangelicalism—name it, claim it, decree it, declare it, speak it into existence. The whole tired script. I’ve watched it, critiqued it, and frankly, gotten to […]

How the Church Failed at Dismantling the Transgender Movement

Publisher — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 17:25:58 +0000

For years now, the modern transgender movement hasn’t operated like a loose collection of ideas. It’s functioned like a system—predictable, coordinated, and disturbingly efficient. Not chaos. Not confusion. A process. A conveyor belt—the transgender conveyor belt—as described by Luke Goodrich at First Things. It starts with the bait, where children are most impressionable. Classrooms. Bright […]

In a World Unraveling, God Still Reigns.

Publisher — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:40:36 +0000

I wake up, grab my coffee, thumb the screen—and it’s the same grim parade, again. A man guns down a pregnant woman at a red light—her husband beside her—an unborn child erased in the same breath, and the system shrugs it off under the banner of insanity. Not innocence—insanity. Which, in practice, means the same […]

The Modern American Soft “Jesus” is an Idol

Publisher — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:33:07 +0000

The modern American imagination is an idol factory, and it has manufactured a version of Jesus that never existed. In this version, Jesus is soft-spoken, endlessly agreeable, and almost allergic to confrontation. He floats through the Gospels like a spiritual therapist, nodding gently while people talk about their feelings. He affirms everyone. He offends no […]

Long Time Michigan Democrat Repents, Leaves Democrat Party, Won’t Seek Re-election

Publisher — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:30:50 +0000

Karen Whitsett, a Democratic state representative from Detroit, has announced she will not seek reelection because she can no longer reconcile her faith with the Democrat party, according to a report from a Detroit news source. Whitsett has served in the Michigan House since 2019. Urban district. Longtime Democrat. Not exactly the profile you’d expect […]

Why are Leftists Like David French Fascinated with James Talarico?

Publisher — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 11:06:50 +0000

James Talarico Is the Exact Kind of Christian as David French Or maybe it’s clearer if we say it without the polite packaging—he isn’t one at all. Every few months the evangelical internet machine latches onto a new personality and suddenly the timelines start humming. This time it’s James Talarico. Texas state representative. A progressive […]

Indiana Court Rules Abortion is a Religious Practice Protected by Religious Freedom

Publisher — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 11:03:49 +0000

For years now, we’ve been told to cool it with the comparisons of abortion to ancient paganism. Stop invoking Molech. Stop talking about sacrifice. Stop saying that modern society is quietly reenacting the most perverse rituals of the ancient world. We’re told, even by our church leaders, that it’s “rhetorical excess” from people who take […]

Liberals and Conservatives are Not “Equal But Opposite” Evils

Publisher — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:02:18 +0000

“Yes, Democrats are evil, but Republicans…” I always hear the David French types, the Phil Vischer types, the JD Greear types, attempt to argue that Republicans are some kind of “opposite” evil from Democrats. These center-leftists, for lack of a better term, will often concede that the left has gone too far with its embrace […]

Over a Decade Later, Evangelicalism Still Hasn’t Repented of Its Open Borders Activism

Publisher — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:57:41 +0000

I watched President Trump’s State of the Union last night with a mix of relief and frustration. Relief, because finally someone at the podium unapologetically defended our nation’s right to secure its borders as a matter of moral duty and love for our own citizens. Frustration, because for years I’ve seen a very different sermon […]

Chicago Gang Life Was the Blueprint—”Christian Rap” Just Brought It to Church

Publisher — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 19:32:13 +0000

Chicago used to be known for industry, steel, and grit. These days, it’s known for blood on the pavement. Not metaphorically. Literally. Gangs don’t write press releases—they spray bullets. And the soundtrack to it all is known as “Gangsta rap.” Not the harmless kind your youth pastor pretends to like to so the kids will […]
