In this video, I am going to give a few tips to my fellow preachers! As a preacher myself, I have made many mistakes over the years, but I think I can spare you some of those. I once saw a book called "Eat THIS Not THAT," and so I thought I would do something similar. If you have any tips on preaching, let me know in the comments!

Have Christians forgotten how to pray for revival? In this lecture, we explore one of the lesser-known but deeply fascinating works of Jonathan Edwards: An Humble Attempt. After the fires of the First Great Awakening began to fade, Edwards called believers across the colonies—and even across the Atlantic—to unite in extraordinary prayer for spiritual renewal.📖 In this video you'll discover:Th...

Why Hasn't the NKJV Been Updated? In this video we will discuss the origin of the NKJV Bible. This is one of the few evangelical, modern translations which has not had an update. Unlike the RSV, NIV, and ESV -- each of which made some mistakes when trying to roll out a new edition -- the NKJV has avoided some of the controversy when a new edition rolls out. Combined with its excellent reputati...

In this video, I am going to admit five times that I was wrong about Bible and theology. In each instance, I went to Scripture and tested my presuppositions and found I was wrong. I needed to revise my views and perhaps even change my practice!

What really happened at the 2026 PCA General Assembly? In this full insider recap, I break down the biggest votes, controversies, debates, and trends shaping the future of the Presbyterian Church in America.

Who was Ulrich Zwingli—and why does he get so little respect compared to Martin Luther and John Calvin? In this video, I argue that Zwingli may be one of the most misunderstood figures of the Protestant Reformation. Many Christians know Zwingli only for one thing: his controversial view of the Lord’s Supper. Was he really just a “mere memorialist”? Or has church history unfairly reduced this great...

Is it a good idea to bring another child int...

Street Preaching 101 In this video, I debrief our team's efforts to share the gospel in the open air during the 2026 Butler PA Jeep Festival.

In this video, I make an appeal to the EPC, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, before their General Assembly begins this week, June 1-18, 2026. Here, I will urge them to do the right thing and take a strong stand against Side-B Christianity.

📖 To Work It and Keep It | The Nobility of Work (Genesis 2:10–15) Is work a curse… or a gift from God? Many people today feel trapped in dead-end jobs, burned out by career pressure, or confused about their purpose. But the Bible gives a radically different view of work. In Genesis 2:15, before sin ever entered the world, God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden “to work it and keep it.” That means...

Does the Roman Catholic Church have a clear Gospel? It is my anecdotal experience that many Catholics do not have a clear understanding of the Gospel. They struggle to articulate it. This is likely the case because the Roman Catholic Church has an overly complicated view of how salvation works. The Catholic Church teaches such things as:- Seven Sacraments- Purgatory- Priestly Confession- Mortal an...

Stock Report: Bible Translations In this video, we will have a look at which Bible translations are aging well. Sometimes a new translation comes out to great applause, only to fade in the long run. At other times, a translation seems to pick up steam slowly. Still others seem to get greater and greater as the years go by. Some of this is marketing. Some of this is translation philosophy. Some of...

In this video, I am going to delve into the controversy related to TE Zachary Garris. He was recently suspended by his presbytery, the Presbytery of the Rio Grande, for "unwholesome speech." Garris was charged related to his views of slavery and race, but was found not guilty. He was however convicted on speech for two tweets that he made in related online conversations. This is a very c...

This summer, the PCA general assembly meets. Unfortunately, the Report from MNA, Mission to North America, has self-reported a major problem related to donor-restricted gifts to support the victims of named storms. These gifts did not always go to the victims of storms as they were promised, but instead were used to buttress other MNA funding issues, including the support short-falls of senior lev...

Genesis 2:1–3 | You Are Tired | MVE | May 24, 2026 You are exhausted. Not just physically—but deep down in your soul. You sleep, but never feel rested.

Description From atoms to galaxies, from the human heart to the stars above us, creation overflows with wonder. In Genesis 1:31 God looks upon everything He has made and declares it not merely good—but very good ( tob meod ). What does it really mean to be a biblical creationist? Does Christianity oppose science? Why do people worship created things instead of the Creator? How should Christians th...

In this video, I will respond to Redeemed Zoomer labeling me recently as a D-Tier Apologist. I will have to admit that at first I dismissed this ranking, before getting very angry and prideful. My pride got away with me for a bit before the Lord brought me back to a place of humility and forgiveness. Viewers should know that Redeemed Zoomer and I have exchanged apologies and forgiveness since the...
