An ideology that needs to go behind parents’ backs to reach their children has crossed the line from advocacy to exploitation. Deliberately manipulating a child's identity isn't compassion. It's child abuse.

What happens when the people shaping society decide that a story doesn't have to be true—as long as it works? Especially when they have the technology to monitor our lives, exploit our weaknesses, and influence our decisions.

Read →The Illusion of Security
COVID showed how quickly fear can make lockdowns, restrictions, and extraordinary government powers seem acceptable. What happens when the next crisis threatens not just our health, but our electricity, food, and financial systems? The greatest danger may not be the crisis itself, but how much freedom we're willing to surrender to those promising to save us.

Read →Willful Blindness
It's remarkable what people can convince themselves to believe once they've decided their political side must always be right. Contradictions become inconvenient details, legitimate questions become accusations, and common sense takes a back seat to allegiance.

Read →God Is Sovereign. We Are Still Responsible.
Christians are called to act with conviction, pursue justice, speak truth, and fulfill their responsibilities without being consumed by outcomes beyond their control. The peace found in Christ is not indifference to what happens around us, but confidence that God's purposes cannot be defeated.

Read →Different Anchors. Same Script.
Corporate media outlets have passed off identical, centrally scripted messages as independent journalism. Through selective reporting, buried facts, and misleading narratives, powerful news organizations aren't just reporting the news. They're manipulating what Americans believe.

Read →Fear as a Tool of Power
Bill Gates warned of a global pandemic before COVID-19. Now he's warning of an AI-driven cyber catastrophe and suggesting humanity may need to suffer before taking action.

Read →When a Threat Is Spoken Out Loud, Believe What You Hear
Threats of religious conquest are being spoken aloud, yet confronting them can draw more condemnation than the threats themselves. There's a dangerous difference between defending religious freedom and tolerating those who would destroy it. The West needs to remember that distinction before it loses both.

Britain helped teach the world the value of free expression. Now its own citizens face a troubling question: How free is speech when the government gets to decide which opinions are too offensive to express?

Many expect shelves to stay stocked no matter what, but the factories that filled them are often gone. Losing the ability to make things quietly leaves us unprepared when supply breaks down.

Read →The Future We Voted For
Politicians are increasingly challenging the core truths of Christianity, and Christians must stand firm in their beliefs. Tolerance of contrary ideas may lead to a future where our children question our commitment to Christ.

We’re told capitalism fails because people are greedy. Then we’re asked to hand those same people control of the economy—as long as they hold public office. My kids will inherit the consequences of that bargain, and I don’t see why we should trust it.

Read →You Can’t Write Christianity Out of America’s Founding
The assertion that America was founded without Christian influence ignores the historical evidence. America rejected an established national church. It did not reject Christianity. That distinction matters—and rewriting either half of the story tells us more about today’s politics than America’s founding.
