Episode 3 — "Jesus Our Savior: Why We Need Saving" In Episode 3 of the WHO IS JESUS? series, we step into one of the most uncomfortable and most essential truths about Jesus: He came to save us because we cannot save ourselves. This episode explores why the idea of a Savior is not outdated, optional, or merely symbolic, but deeply personal and desperately needed. Through story, humor, and honest r...

Episode 2 — "Jesus the Person: More Than a Name" In Episode 2 of the WHO IS JESUS? series, we move from the question that shapes everything to the Person at the center of it all.

Episode 3 — "What Even Is MAGA?" In this third episode of the 5‑part series based on my book Making Sense of America's Newest Guild…Again , we finally tackle the question at the center of the noise: What is MAGA, really?

Episode 2 — "How Did We Even Get Here?" In this second installment of the 5‑part series based on my book Making Sense of America's Newest Guild…Again , we take a step back and ask the question almost no one slows down long enough to consider: How did America get here? How did we reach a point where labels replace names, narratives replace truth, and emotional reactions replace actual thinking? Thr...

In this opening episode of the 5‑part series based on my book Making Sense of America's Newest Guild…Again , we begin where every honest conversation must start: with the question behind the noise.
