The Cory Truax Show

The latest in my Gospel of Mark series.

On This Episode: VIRAL VIDEO OF CHRISTIANS SINGING ON A PLANE There's a popular video right now of a group of believers breaking out into song -- including a guitarist walking the aisle -- on a plane. I want to contrast that with a British street preacher and ask: can we sometimes be doing a a good thing but doing it in a rude and obnoxious way? NOT SO CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN SONG There's a popular Ch...

The resurrection is the greatest news ever told. What do we do with good news?

A Correction and Then Thoughts on Inflation & States Passing Their Own Laws

ON THIS EPISODE: HOW THE WOKE LEFT HIJACKED COMPANIES LIKE DISNEY Disney recently released an add advocating for surgically mutilating the genitalia and secondary sex characteristic of young kids and teens. That comes after the MLB, NCAA, Home Depot, Coke and plenty of other companies have bowed their knee to Woke Left in the last few years. How did they conquer the institution of big business? I...

ON THIS EPISODE: THE AMERICAN SEXUAL ETHIC IS DEVOLVING I've mentioned before that every slippery slope argument I've ever ae about sex and sexuality has proven true. In that vein, I'm getting nervous about what happens next in our descent into depravity. Our cultural overlords need to answer this question regarding our sexual ethic: if you think children can, of their own cognizance and volition,...

On this Episode: CRYPTOCURRENCIES, NFTs, and CHRISTIANS I finally figured out what NFTs are. Let me explain the phenomenon and ask if there are any implications. A THOUGHT ON THE INTERNET  When we all started on the Internet, we went to it for specific purposes and to find specific information. Now, through social media, the internet tells US what to think, what to know about, and what matter...

On This Episode: GOD, JUDGMENT, AND NATIONS I recently heard someone say God was judging Ukraine and the West through Russia's aggression. I think that's incorrect, but it got me thinking about whether or not God judges nations or just people. WE NEED THE SUPREME COURT TO SETTLE THE DEFINITION OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY A recent case out of Washington crystalized something for me regarding religious lib...

On this episode: THE WAR, THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH, AND CONSPIRACIES I noticed recently some weird reactions to the war in Ukraine. I want to parse those out. Additionally, I found that this was is, in one way, a religious war. ARE WE DUE FOR A MAJOR CRISIS? I'll share a social theory that says people groups face one major crisis about every 80 years. If you count World War 2 as our last major...

On This Episode: INCREDIBLE STORY OF PEOPLE CHANGING THEIR MINDS People rarely change their minds on core issues. I have a story from NPR of people changing their minds. It's significant on a couple levels we'll cover. GOVERNOR GETS PLAUDITS FOR BEING AGGRESSIVE WITH COLLEGE STUDENTS. I HAVE A DIFFERENT TAKE. A popular Governor recently received adulation for aggressively telling college students...

On This Episode: LEARNING FROM WAR We can learn a lot from this invasion. We learn that policy matters. When you intentionally diminish your fossil fuel production and spend all your money on social programs (instead of military/military) defense, you empower some terrible people and are weak to their attacks. I think we learn that prosperity and ease aren't the goals of every people group. We can...

My show will be delayed this week. So here’s a mini-episode on the State of the Union.

On This Episode: AN ENGAGEMENT, A STORY, A LESSON (0:00-13:00ish) You probably saw: I'm engaged and thrilled about. The day after, I had a really sweet experience at church. Let me tell you the story in a way that I think will benefit you too.

On This Episode: TIM KELLER, STEVEN COLBERT AND PARAMETERS OF COMPLIMENTS (0:00-16:25) Recently, Tim Keller commended Steven Colbert for how Colbert articulated his Catholic faith. Other Christian thinkers expressed their displeasure at Keller at this. While I have some nuanced criticism on what Keller FAILED to say, it's important that we do get his core point. THE CANADIAN TRUCKER FREEDOM CONVOY...

I'm in a giant rush, uploading this, so.... just thanks for listening!

There's a lot on this show, but I'm short on time, so here are some key words: -Oklahoma legislator tries and fails to dunk on pro-life people. -Listener feedback on Encanto and on fallen pastors -Political Quiz on being for truth over tribe -Lecrae's controversial Tweet.

The most recent sermon in the Gospel of Mark series.

On This Episode: A LESSON ON THE CHURCH AND LISTENING TO THE NEWS CHRISTIANLY An NPR story about Christian Nationalism led me to some thoughts about the American church, but also gives us a chance to work on our listening skills. REVIEW OF "ENCANTO" It's important that we are not just consumers of media. We need to engage and process our media diet. I'll help you do that as we talk about Bruno-o-o...

On This Episode: SANCTITY OF LIFE SUNDAY (0-13:00ish) Sanctity of Life Sunday is here, and it's important that you're equipped to be mobilized to love the unborn and their mothers really well. BETHEL WORSHIP "JESUS IS LORD" SONG HAS SOME ISSUES (13:00ish-20:00ish) I recently heard this song, and I think it misses the mark on some theological rigor. I'll explain. POLLING FROM CHURCH MEMBERS (20:00i...

On this Episode: -A Rash of fallen pastors. What's causing it? -What is Christian "Social Justice" -The Christian sexual ethic is now seen as immoral -- not just weird. -Why do Christians obsess with celebrities? -Let's talk Covid.

On this Episode: NEW YEARS GOALS In the new year, I want to endeavor to be less hurried, better to emulate, and to make peace -- not just keep peace.

On This Episode: LEFT WINGERS CROW AT SUCCESSFUL COMPANY WHERE EVERYONE MAKES AT LEAST $70K (0:00-15:39) There's a company in Seattle where the CEO took a major pay cut, and they managed to pay everyone at least $70K/year. For some reason, some folks on the Left think this is a dunk on capitalism. A situation where everyone there is free associated with the situation is actually the most free-mark...

ON THIS EPISODE: WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ABORTION AT THE SUPREME COURT? (0:00-17ish) I want to revisit some of the oral arguments heard a couple weeks ago at the Supreme Court, including concerns about the Court's credibility, precedents, using viability as an abortion principle, and a lot more. We also need to imagine the world where abortions are a lot less common. That leaves us in need of a stro...

On This Episode: DON'T RENDER TO GOVERNMENT WHAT BELONGS TO GOD (0-17ish) Many of us, including me, have the propensity to render under Ceasar that which is God's. I'll itemize a few things that we are tempted to give to governments that ultimately God's. Also on this, we'll discuss how there is no separate concept of "spiritual life." All of life is spiritual. Our faith goes everywhere we go -- t...
