Stopping the Transgender Conveyor Belt
Over the last decade, a complicated network of state and federal laws has increasingly channeled children down the path of gender transition.
This, in short, is how the conveyor belt works: The school encourages the child to embrace a new gender. Teachers must affirm it and hide it from parents. Counselors must support it. Parents must go along or risk losing custody. Employers and insurers must pay for it. Doctors must perform it. All of this is... Continue Reading
Saying It Out Loud
Elites finally admit abortion is murder—and they do not care.
When it comes down to it, it’s the “absolutist” position (i.e., the truly pro-life position) that gets Maher’s “respect.” Maher and the absolutist understand each other, he thinks, because both of them understand exactly what abortion is. “They think it’s murder. And … it kind of is.” The difference between them, as he succinctly follows... Continue Reading
How Plain-Spoken Courage Can Move the Overton Window
The time for Christians to control public discourse is now.
It will take great courage to break the left’s cultural taboos and take the heat for it. A society conditioned by Newspeak will be scandalized by the thoughtcrime of plain-spoken truth. The man who says things outside the Overton window will take the first arrows. He may sacrifice his reputation on the altar of honesty... Continue Reading
Kidneys Don’t See Color
Meritocratic medicine scores another triumph with a genetically modified pig kidney—but the STEM diversity crusade threatens to replace discovery with identity-driven mediocrity.
Programming on “structural racism” and the “need for a diversified workforce” is now part of a core content area, according to the academic head of the American Medical Association. A mandatory three-semester course at the University of Pennsylvania medical school, Doctoring I, looks at such topics as “race/racism in medicine,” “narratives,” and “structural competency” (the...

Isolationism: A Historic and Christian Take
Isolationism is the belief that a country should avoid involvement in other nations’ military, economic, and political policies. How should Christians think about national foreign policy?
The Scriptures are clear that governments act per the will of God (Romans 13:1, Colossians 1:16). The U.S. prides itself on democracy, independence, and freedom for all. America is not perfect; it fought its own battle with slavery and civil rights. However, the founding ideals and principles have maintained prominence in American culture and have... Continue Reading
The Gateway Drug To Post-Christian Paganism
The secret to political integrity and discernment for Christians is a high view of God, his Word and his gospel.
This points to their value in today’s debates. One of the striking lacunae on both the right and left wings of the Christian political spectrum is the general absence of any reference to the transcendence of God and the supernatural nature of the church. Immanent concerns rule the day. The pundits on both sides seem... Continue Reading
God’s Judgment and Richmond Theater Fire, 1811
World events and disasters in creation prick the sense of deity in man and they can be used to challenge the unbelieving with the gospel message of Christ.
Scripture tells Christians that they are to be in the world but not of the world and church history has shown that a reoccurring problem is knowing at what point the believer crosses the line and becomes not only in the world but of it as well. Dr. Miller made some good points in his... Continue Reading
How the Transgender Movement Fuels Conspiracy Theories
No conspiracy theory is as far-fetched as the idea that there are 72 genders.
No matter how far-fetched a given conspiracy theory might seem, it will not be as far-fetched as the idea that there are now 72 genders. In fact, considering which narratives the progressive establishment defends most fiercely, it seems to many that the only truly credulous position to take would be that of leaders who cannot...

Dystopia Check-In
On Campus Crusade, pronoun hospitality, and when organizations get big.
A lot of what young me presupposed about the world, and about big para-church organizations (and Christian colleges), has proven to be increasingly less Christian, by which I mean grounded in the authority of scripture and rooted in repentance being central to faith (as we see in scripture). Increasingly, it seems like these organizations are... Continue Reading
Hope for the Unhappy
What has led to such a steep reduction in people’s overall happiness in the U.S.?
The World Happiness Report reveals what many of us probably already knew about the condition of our nation: people are unhappy, disillusioned, and disappointed. This report might be the most hopeful news for our nation in recent memory, especially when we think about the prominence of Gen Z in this report. The prodigal son “came... Continue Reading
