Conversations That Matter

Today I'm sharing my article from December 26, 2025, "When Dinner Stops Being Ours: Cuisine, Immigration, and the Quiet Erosion of Belonging." I challenge the idea—pushed by folks like Piers Morgan—that mass immigration is worth it because it spices up "bland" Western food. While new flavors can be great, I argue through personal stories of smoking Southern barbecue in the Huds...

In today's episode, I'm sharing my latest article, "Regaining the American Dream for Zoomers: What the Government Can Do." I argue that the classic American Dream—of hard work leading to independence, family, and community—is slipping away from Generation Z amid skyrocketing debt, collapsing marriage and birth rates, and cultural decay. While prayer and personal virtue are essentia...

Mateen talks about his upbringing in Iran, his father being a government official, trying to follow Islam, but getting converted while living in one of the Gulf states. He miraculously was able to get a Visa to America after facing persecution. He now evangelizes primarily Muslims in Houston, TX. Mateen shares his conversion story, impressions of America, and insights into Shiite Islam. Mateen&#39...

Let's dive into the dramatic rise and fall of New Calvinism (the Young, Restless, and Reformed) movement that once captivated a generation of evangelical men seeking doctrinal depth and masculine leadership. We'll look at "father hunger," the shift from solid theology to holistic lifestyle brands, and the erosion of standards amid scandals, shifting labels, and online tribalism. We...

In "The Schemes of the Devil" based on Ephesians 6:10-12, Jon Harris urges believers to recognize the reality and danger of Satan, a deceptive liar and destroyer who blinds unbelievers and actively tempts Christians toward sin, division, unforgiveness, pride, and false beliefs, yet whose power is limited and ultimately defeated. While unbelievers remain helpless under his dominion and shou...

In the classic film It’s a Wonderful Life, George Bailey embodies the dutiful, small-town American man who sacrifices personal ambitions for family and community, yet struggles with feelings of insignificance and unfulfilled dreams—a midlife crisis many modern middle-aged men experience today, intensified by technology and social media. These men often feel invisible as they watch others gain infl...

The Southern Baptist Convention has undermined its moral authority amid America's institutional legitimacy crisis by adopting progressive agendas, including a multimillion-dollar #MeToo alliance costing over $13 million—featuring the Guidepost investigation—that led to selling its headquarters.

The “trad wife” trend shows people are starving for natural order after feminism’s damage — but not all patriarchy is the same.   Nietzschean vitalism (Bronze Age Pervert, Andrew Tate, etc.) celebrates raw conquest, optional families, and disposable wives.  That’s not what built the West.   The West was built by a different kind of man: monogamous, self-controlled, paternal Christian fathers who p...

Jon Harris offers encouragement to the growing number of singles – especially Gen-Z and Millennials approaching or past thirty – who dread the holidays because the spouse and children they long for are still nowhere in sight. Drawing from his own years of singleness and prolonged infertility, Jon refuses to give cheap platitudes or toxic “just be content” advice. Instead, he validates the very rea...

The American Right is not merely “splitting” between MAGA and America First” or “populists vs. institutionalists.” Something far deeper and more dangerous is happening: a civilizational crisis over truth itself. Once, the Right united against a corrupt legacy media. Today, distrust has metastasized. Fox News is bleeding credibility, The Daily Wire is viewed with suspicion, and the loudest voices n...

What we’ll cover:  Why Comer says modern life is exhausting (and he’s not wrong) His new definitions: Sin = “missing the mark” of union with God, Hell = bad decisions right now How the gospel shifts from “justification by faith” to a “way” of transformation & apprenticeship The influences: contemplative spirituality, Quaker vibes, and progressive-leaning theology The big question: beautiful vi...
