Eye on Christianity

If you've ever felt "on fire" spiritually… and then watched it fade… this episode is for you. Why does it happen? Why does something that feels so real… so powerful… so life-changing… disappear so quickly?

I review a portion of a sermon about God's plan and abortion

Is Christianity becoming a product? In this episode we analyze the song "Too Good" by Gable Price and Friends and explore its sharp critique of consumer Christianity, religious performance culture, and the temptation to reduce God to something that exists to meet our needs.

Late one night I pulled an old album off my shelf and found myself transported back to 1972—before Christian radio, before CCM charts, before the industry existed.

What is the church actually saying to teenagers at youth rallies? In this episode, we do something simple — and intentional. We attend a Friday night youth rally together and listen carefully to a long-form sermon, going in blind, without preloading conclusions or assumptions.

What does it actually mean to repent? After two thousand years of Christian history, disagreement over this single word remains as sharp as ever. And yet, many Christians today speak with absolute confidence, insisting the meaning is obvious, settled, and beyond debate.

February 14 once remembered a martyr — love that bleeds. Today it celebrates romance — love that feels. What happened? And what does that historical drift reveal about human love, divine love, and the gospel itself?

Apparently, listening is harder than we think. A short clip about hermeneutics — about how Christians murder the meaning of Scripture — was taken completely out of context and turned into arguments about things I never said.

I haven't been on the air since Sunday, and a few people have noticed. No, I didn't die—but I did get seriously sick. In this episode, I give an update, explain what's been going on, and reflect a bit on limits, burnout, and the reality that sometimes your body just shuts the whole operation down.

After seeing in Part 1 how a 1988 sermon exposed a deep hermeneutical collapse, this episode steps back and asks a bigger question: what was fundamentalism originally, and how did it become what it is today?

Using a 1988 sermon as our starting point, this episode asks a disturbing question: what if the sermon itself is part of the problem? Before debating methods or results, we examine how Scripture is being used—and what that reveals about what had already gone wrong inside fundamentalism.

In 1974, a preacher warned that Christians were already abandoning real Bible study in favor of shallow preaching and random reading. In this episode, we examine that sermon and discover how accurately it describes the state of the church today—and how little has changed in 50 years.

Churches in America close every week, usually quietly and without much notice. In this episode, we look at what it actually means when a church comes to an end. Using a recently featured "sermon" that is really a congregational meeting about a church on the brink of closure — and reflecting on the recent end of my own church

America is experiencing The Great Unchurching, the fastest religious shift in modern history. In this episode, we examine the data behind church closures, rising religious disaffiliation, political Christianity, and the collapse of institutional trust.

This episode reviews the Christmas message "No Room for Jesus" by examining how Luke 2:7 is often expanded beyond what the text actually says. We address the hermeneutical and theological problems that arise when speculation and cultural outrage replace careful exegesis and Gospel-centered proclamation.
