The Cory Truax Show

I'm on the road and unable to record a new episode this week. In place of that, this is the latest installment of mine and Cody Fields Post-Mil project. Make sure to check his content out and buy stuff for your guitars (if you're a guitarist) at westminstereffects.com

On This Episode: NUANCE IS IMPORTANT I want to provide an example on why communicating with nuance is most often more effective than with sharp invective. TIM KELLER AND A THEONOMY QUOTE Tim Keller made a great point in a sermon back in 1991 that might get him accused of "Christian Nationalism" today (whatever that is). I want to play a clip from that sermon that illustrates that one of...

On This Episode: NEW HOUSE SPEAKER REACTION It's good to have believers in high spaces. However, while the Left's reaction was on-brand insane, I noticed people who call themselves "Christian Nationalists" also had an odd reaction. I want to talk about all of the implications. NUMB LITTLE BUG The younger set have made a weird/sad song really popular. We need to be ready to offer...

On This Episode: IS CURING BLINDNESS/DEAFNESS GOOD OR AN ACT OF CULTURAL ERASURE? This article asks if it's wrong to cure blindness or deafness. Some people seem to have adopted these conditions as core parts of their identities. What's the Christian response to handling and treating disabilities? GET YOUR CATEGORIES IN ORDER In Christianity, I'm seeing too much of arguing secondary is...

On This Episode: WHEN CULTURES CRUMBLE A listener wrote in to ask what I mean when I say, "Christians must be ready when the culture crumbles to provide answers." He wanted to know what I meant by "crumbled." I have some very practical answers that range from Disney to Social Security. FALSEHOOD FAILS This story covers a recent protest at Clemson University. That protest was st...

On This Episode DISILLUSIONMENT VS OVEREMPHASIS The New York Times recently published this story about how miserable people are about our political state of being. At the same time, I'm noticing some evangelicals are into politics more than ever. I have a word of caution on that with help from a clip of a Tim Keller sermon. Everything is the Lord's -- including politics and governments. Where we a...

On This Episode: JOE ROGAN ASKS AN UNINTENTIONALLY PROFOUND QUESTION Rogan recently complained that life and the human experience are intricate and complex, but we don't have a manual for how to live list best. Boy, do I have some good news for him. If he's looking for a book with life's answers, we've got a good one. ANDY STANLEY FURTHER OFF THE RAILS Andy Stanley's recent ser...

On This Episode: LETTER TO MY CONGRESSMAN My Congressman was just found out to be an adulterer. He should resign. I'll make my plea and tell you why it's important for him to leave Congress and pursue his marriage. We need to hold marriage high. Congressman Duncan can do that by resigning. MY MESSAGE COLLEGE STUDENTS I was asked to speak to college students about being a Christian conserva...

Cody and I cover a lot, including: -Small steps to get started on the path to truth and beauty -Does Christian exile contradict the Post-Mil view? -Do modern Christians have an analog to use in the Bible?

On This Episode: RAUNCHY LAWMAKERS I grew up being told that sexual sin and perversion were disqualifying for anyone looking for authority. Recently a Democrat candidate for State Senate in Virginia was exposed for having sex on a streaming site for money. The mayor of Burbank, CA was spanked with a paddle by a drag queen in California. Yes, these are disqualifying. But where are we on calling for...

On This Episode: LAWLESSNESS IN NEW MEXICO The Governor of New Mexico issued an illegal decree regarding guns. My demeanor is always to say, "that thing in the news isn't as bad as the news outlets and algorithms want you to think it is. You can calm down." Because I'm like that, I hope it comes with some credibility that I'm saying: this is a big deal, and it has to stop. EN...

On This Episode DRUG PRICE FIXING'S DOWNSIDE A recent policy announcement would cap and set a price ceiling for some popular drugs. Both the "government shouldn't do that," and the "yay for cheap medicines" reactions are simplistic and immature. I want give you some deeper level thinking on policies like these. A PROFOUND PARADIGM FOR MEANING One commentator recently po...

On This Episode   REFUTING “KINISM” I came across an errant theology, that can lead to sinful ethnic prejudice. I want to talk about its origins and then Biblically refute it. A GOVERNMENT LESSON We know too little about what the Federal Government is and what its role is. It is an entity created by the States, so the States are supposed to be supreme over it. That paradigm has fallen. Even so, it...

On this Episode DEBATE PREVIEW There's a debate Wednesday night that some people (wrongly) think is important. I'll give you a preview of what SHOULD happen and also what WILL happen instead. SMARTPHONES AND MARRIAGE There's a fairly large study indicating major correlation between screen time and marriage troubles. I'll break it down and give some encouragement on how to stop your...

My original summary of this episode, I think, was really good. But this is my second try at uploading, so I'm out of cleverness. We start by having a helpful back-and-forth about Christians and the State. I don't remember everything after that, but I know we discuss a slavery law in the Bible, why health care is a product (not a right), and a few other items. Thanks for your patience as I...

New episode comes out tonight

On This Episode: NYT AND RIGHT'S ECONOMICS The New York Times did a GOOD job of itemizing the growing divide between Reagan rightists and Trump Republicans on economic policy. Along the way though, they just told some lies that I will correct. TAKE CARE OF MAYA DOCUMENTARY I have some short thoughts on a maddening documentary I saw and recommend. THE GOSPEL COALITION AND CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM...

On This Episode: NANCY MACE Nancy Mace bragged/joked about her own fornication at a prayer breakfast. We have a few lessons to learn from this. IMPEACHMENT I suspect impeachment will happen to this president within 1 year. I also think that we've discounted the severity of impeachment so much that almost all the presidents in my lifetime to come will also be impeached (but not removed by the S...

Discourse on Jesus being better than priests or the mysterious figure, Melchizedek.

The latest sermon in my Epistle to the Hebrews series.

On this Episode: "Try That in a Small Town" vs. Andrew Tate's "Manliness Jason Aldean's "Try That in Small Town" isn't a racist lynching song like you're being told, but it does tell us something about masculinity. Conversely, Andrew Tate presents himself as an authority on manliness. I'll play some audio from him demonstrating he isn't anyone to fo...

I uploaded the wrong file the first time

On this Episode: WHY CONSERVATISM FAILED The human heart needs to be making progress. Conservatism tried to PRESERVE marriage, parenting, families, communities, business, finance, media, and entertainment as they were instead of seeking to make them EVEN BETTER. Now we have a long project back to human flourishing. MEDIA GASLIGHTING ON CULTURE WAR I heard a story recently saying Republicans were h...

On this episode: A Christian author is arguing Christians should leave progressive States and join more traditional ones. I want to work through that idea. ....... I'm starting to ask some questions about my view of end times and how we practically get from here to there. .......... Vivek Ramaswamy has a SUPER interesting and good idea.
