The Cory Truax Show

On This Episode: SOUTH CAROLINA CLOSE TO SCHOOL CHOICE A bill passed that House that makes true school choice more likely in South Carolina than anytime in my lifetime. Let me encourage you: find your Senator at scstatehouse.gov and politely encourage them to pass House Bill 5164 to empower parents to choose their child's education. CANDACE OWNS, BEN SHAPIRO AND "CHRIST IS KING" In t...

On This Episode: JOHN MACARTHUR ON CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM John MacArthur got into the Christian Nationalism discussion recently. I'll play you the audio and respond, I hope, with some grace and humility. SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE Perry Noble is now cursing in sermons and benching 400 pounds on stage to "make a point." How do we help people drawn in by these personalities to come out of...

On This Episode: WHAT DO KIDS LICKING TOES, A LOCAL FIGHTING LEAGUE, AND ONLY FANS HAVE IN COMMON? I recently noticed that an event is coming to my area where local, random men, can sign up to fight other random men, so other people can pay money to watch them punch each other. I then heard a story about children licking peanut butter off of toes at a school in Oklahoma and another story about Onl...

On This Episode: OUR ROTTEN MASCULINE/FEMININE DYNAMIC Over a period of three days last week, I had several experiences that made me evaluate how rotten the dynamic is now between men and women. It made me wonder what broke it. I've been watching "Masters of the Air" on AppleTV and noticed how healthy the masculine/feminine dynamic was back then. I think the distinction was that era...

On This Episode: THE MASCULINITY WE NEED Nancy Pearcy is one of my favorite authors, and made a fantastic point of not contrasting manhood to womanhood. We need to first contrast it to BOYHOOD. We must hold to the male/female distinctions, but first, let's have men who want to leave childhood behind. EXAMPLE OF BAD MANHOOD An absolute lout went off at a New Hampshire school board meeting. I&#3...

On This Episode: 8 MINUTES OF FOOTBALL TALK I enjoy this Chiefs dynasty. I have mostly disliked other dynasties. I'll use 8 minutes to indulge in sports talk. SUPER BOWL CONSPIRACIES The "NFL is rigged" people have zero arguments. I'll break down and refute these conspiracy theories. CONSPIRACY THINKINGS MUST STOP I'll itemize why conspiracy thinking is so damaging to culture...

On This Episode: THE GREATEST "PRIVILEGE OF ALL" I've argued for years that the greatest "privilege" in life isn't ethnic, educational, or economic. It's familial -- having 2 parents. This new book lays out the data and the crisis we're in that marriage and child-raising are now disconnected in our age. #TwoParentPrivilege "ONLY FANS" MOM AND A CHRISTI...

My 11th sermon in the series on the Epistle to the Hebrews.

On This Episode: TAYLOR SWIFT CONSPIRACY Let me dispel the notion that malign actors are executing a Psy-Op, using the NFL and Taylor Swift to push the Left. We're plenty enough a pagan people for Leftism to thrive without a conspiracy. MATT WALSH ON ART VANDALS The Catholic commentator says we should execute the vandals of the Mona Lisa and other destroyers of famous art works. Let's use...

A quick 15 minutes regarding the Texas border.

On This Episode: TRUMP CONSOLIDATION That happened fast. With Governor Desantis gone, the 2024 race is set: two elderly, unpopular men. I have several thoughts of analysis, including the fact that there's never been a bigger opportunity for a third party. SCHOOL LUNCHES IN THE SUMMER My State is debating a school lunch program for the summer. That led me to a couple thoughts regarding the argu...

On This Episode: ANALYZING IOWA Here are my takeaways. 1. The Primary is over. Trump is the nominee for his party. 2. The race for 2nd place between Desantis and Haley is still important. Circumstances could keep Trump out of the race. 3. This also likely locks in Biden as the nominee for his party. 4. A Supermajority of Americans don't want these choices, so there's never been a better time for a...

On This Episode: LET HISTORY INFORM YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT TODAY I know life is unstable right now: inflation, mortgage rates, protests/riots, two wars, shifting morals, incompetent governance, and a contentious election in front of us. One reason we stress about these things so much is that we think we're unique in human history. Give me 15 minutes to walk you through the US in 1968, and learn t...

On This Episode: LONELINESS AND POLITICS New York Times Editorialist and author (one of my favorites) David Brooks has a new book out. One revelation is how people are using politics (instead of church) for morality, community, and feelings of making an impact. That's a substitution that will ruin us. CAREFUL WHO GETS YOUR EARS Some commentators tell you you're living under a tyrannical, t...

Get Perspective | Get Comparisons | Get an Agenda

On This Episode: NPR, CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM, AND THE FUTURE This story from NPR elicited a few responses from me. As we argue for Christian values in sectors of culture, we should recognize the fear that elicits in secularists. Let me equip you for those objections. Additionally, for those Christians pursuing Christianity in all of society, we should recognize some of our compatriots are coming at...

The 10th sermon in my Epistle to the Hebrews series.

The 9th installment in the Epistle to the Hebrews Series

On This Episode: A woman on TikTok recently complained about being rejected by a matchmaker (the woman wants to find a husband). She was appalled that the matchmaker thought the woman needed to make some changes to be appealing to the men she wanted. Change, compromise, and improvement have been shunned by our self-love culture. I have some thoughts to share. TEXAS ABORTION CASE There was a compli...

My latest in The Epistle to the Hebrews series

On This Episode: SURROGACY AND THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE Two prominent men in the conservative movement recently celebrated babies they’re now going  to raise with their partners. Both men hired women to carry the child and paid other women for genetic material to have the child. Some conservatives welcomed this, and then other conservatives chided them. I’ll provide some clarity on how a Christian m...

My latest in the Hebrews series.

On This Episode: A CULTURE'S ART TELLS YOU WHAT IT'S LONGING FOR HBO's Hard Knocks, HBO's Gilded Age, and this new Jennifer Lawrence movie, "No Hard Feelings" are betraying this secular age's desires. The law of God is written on every heart, and God designed us to want certain things, as we're made in his image. This culture tries to deny God's design but the...

The latest installment of our Hebrews Series

On This Episode: POLITICAL STORY ONE: SNL's Surprising Jokes The first two jokes on SNL's Weekend Update were at President Biden's expense this week. That's an historic oddity. It also tells us something about our political moment, and I have some interpretive thoughts (including a look-ahead to next November's election). POLITICAL STORY TWO: The Speaker Knows His History A CNB...
