It wasn’t that long ago when the names Chip and Joanna Gaines conjured images of shiplap walls, farmhouse sinks, and a squeaky-clean, down-home Christian family just trying to “do life” together while remodeling your grandmother’s kitchen. They rose to fame as the...

From Caleb Lines’ latest sermon: Mary gets to choose and Mary chooses to carry the Messiah. Mary says, let it be in the story, which means that Mary is afforded a choice that so many people in our society today are no longer afforded. The biblical call is to increased...

I indulged myself in a few episodes of Ancient Aliens on YouTube over the weekend—not because I buy into it, but because I find it fascinating to see the great lengths people will go to try to make sense of our existence and the world we live in. Something I found...

Jimmy Swaggart, the once-celebrated televangelist whose legacy is as stained by scandal as it is by airwaves, has died at the age of 90. According to multiple reports, Swaggart passed away on July 1, 2025, following complications from cardiac arrest he suffered two...

In 2019, I wrote that the greased and lubed celebrity machinery of modern Christian music wasn’t just distracting—it was hijacking the very glory of God. I pointed out how artists chase chart ranks, fame, social media clout—and lose the weightier matters: God’s truth,...

Steven Furtick, the founder and lead "pastor" of Elevation Church, has become a household name among modern megachurch prosperity gospel frauds from Joel Osteen to T.D. Jakes to Carl Lentz. But beneath his polished exterior and motivational speeches lies a deeper...

There was a time, not all that long ago, when even the most enthusiastic child sacrifice apologists would at least pretend to mourn the “need” for the right to murder their child. “Safe, legal, and rare,” they chanted in their tailored suits and sterilized sound...

Want to know what happens when you combine the false gospel of Rome with the warnings of Romans 1? You get a rainbow-draped seance of self-worship, performed in God’s name. At All Saints Catholic Church in Syracuse, a full-blown Pride Mass unfolded complete with a...

Rick Warren, the former pastor of one of the largest former Southern Baptist churches in history, is now joining Catholics on Catholic television stations to lecture us on unity. In a recent interview, Warren tells EWTN that Jesus’ high priestly prayer in John 17 is...

Caleb Lines, the lead heretic-in-residence at University Christian Church in San Diego—a so-called “progressive” congregation affiliated with the Disciples of Christ (which long ago abandoned anything resembling orthodoxy)—is back at it again. Known for his flair for...

While I personally prefer being in the sticks, American cities once stood as glimmering monuments to Western civilization—engines of industry, temples of innovation, and the backdrop of families building dreams. Los Angeles was one of them. Once. Before it was...

That’s Rev. Dr. Caleb Lines, a full-time rainbow cleric and part-time cosplay theologian currently pastoring University Christian Church in San Diego. He’s also the Co-Executive Director of ProgressiveChristianity.org, which is basically a digital “safe space” for...
