Jesus Changes Everything

Lisa and I consider the faith of Noah's wife in the face of a life of challenges. I remind us that our fathers had blind spots, as do we, that rejecting racism isn't worldliness but fidelity to God's Word. I consider various projects for the year and explore the Spirit as the giver of life, and new life.

Lisa and I begin a new series on women in the Bible, considering this week Eve. I apply the folly of consequentialist ethics to just war theory and Venezuela, provide an overview of Jeremiah and remember that Jesus fully died.

Once again we present a short story highlighting the meaning of the gifts we receive each Christmas.

I encourage everyone to read Lisa's new writing projects. I discourage everyone from defending the President's foolish response to the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. I remember convenience breakfasts of the 70s and explain why unconditional election is certain and true.

Lisa and I conclude our conversation on her beautiful poetry. I consider why we should support the freedom of soldiers and suspect politicians on all sides. Plus, how the faux humility of relativism is arrogance and an affront to the living God. Finally, holiday wishes for you all.

Lisa and I continue our discussion on her astonishing poems celebrating God's grace and the power of snow. I bemoan the generation gap and encourage sharing culture across the generations. I argue we should have been offended when Jesus forgave the paralytic's sins, and remind us all that we have a world to conquer, and that our Hero is always with us.

Lisa and I share and discuss several beautiful poems she wrote on the occasion of the season's first snow. I consider what conservatives are supposed to not do, explore the promises of the Messiah in the second half of Isaiah and consider the wisdom of humility in our knowing.

Lisa and I consider the holiday season in our latter season in life. I rebuke those who would put words in the mouths of the departed, seek friends to come alongside our ministry and celebrate both fasting and feasting with the Lord.

This encore episode from 2020 remembers the hijinks of Halloween from back in the day, and encourages us to find and read Nathaniel Hawthorne's amazing short story, Young Goodman Brown.

I consider the blessing of Lisa on our 9th anniversary. I celebrate, with appropriate cautions, President Trumps mideast triumph. Plus, why God's will is in some ways as bound as our own.

Lisa and I continue our conversation on entering different seasons in life. I expose the comedy of the drama surrounding government shutdowns, pine away for cinnamon Mini-Wheats and encourage us to see each other as our Father sees us, dressed in the righteousness of Christ.

Lisa and I in our Sacred Marriage segment, praise God for the clear gospel presentation at the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service. I consider Pam Bondi's struggles with hate speech. We look at Abraham's late-in-life babies and cook up a recipe for joy.

Lisa and I discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the impact on the culture. I wonder why a person's skin color is relevant in reporting on a crime, cover the question of prophets in the Bible without books of their own and celebrate God's celebration of His glory.

Lisa and I begin a conversation on the changing seasons of life. I consider the awful Sunday in the PCA where a pastor is celebrated while leaving to become Roman Catholic. An introduction to a new segment, examining each of the prophets, and a call for men to be men inside and outside the church.

In this classic episode we define what we mean by extremism, its dangers and delights. Plus, what are those safe places of worldliness that have found a home in the church?

This classic episode begins with defining and defending isolationist foreign policy, moves to an exposition on the blessings of being my father's son, and concludes with counsel on how to write well.

Lisa and I, in this classic episode, speak what should be obvious but is too often missed, the vital importance of not speaking ill of our spouse with others.

Today's classic episode from 2020 includes the story of my first trip to the golf course with my father. WE also consider the thief on the cross and the call to clean up our ethics.

In this classic episode from 2021, we consider what Roman Catholicism means by "ex cathedra." Plus, we ask, and seek to answer, what do we need to know.

In thi classic epiode we consider as our "ism" plagiarism and why it matters. Plus, the confidence that drives youth and the best way of defining disciples.

In this classic episode I consider the folly of reductionism, and the impossibility of reducing reality down to one thing. I give thanks for forever friend Ted Bell and reveal the real me.

This classic episode includes an "ism" segment on anarchism, part seven of our series on the defining qualities of love and an expose of our evangelical delusions.

Lisa and I continue our conversation on grandparenting. I consider the baleful ubiquity of psy-ops, and encourage more uncertainty. We look at Jacob's blessing over Joseph, the woman who touched Jesus' cloak, and why it would be wrong for God not to be filled with pride.

Lisa and I begin a conversation on the blessings and challenges of grandparenting. I consider how the former president's cognitive failures are mirrored in our own. We look at Jacob's blessing of his two grandsons, Ephraim and Manassah. Finally, we consider how BF Skinner's behaviorism is absurd in itself.

Lisa shares lessons learned from watching Job's wife in the midst of Job's ordeals. I consider the dangers of anonymous social media accounts in light of the latest from G3. Israel settles in the land of Goshen; Abraham buys a burial plot for Sarah and how worship should be a party.
