The Orbis Sentry Report - Geopolitical Risk & Global Trends

This is the first of a 2 part series on geopolitics. The purpose of this series is to give a framework for Christians to be able to understand what has happened geoplitically, what the International Liberal World Order (LWO) was, why it ceased to function effectively in 2022, and how the things that are happening now, in early 2026, are the result of it having already died 4 years ago. Included in...

For the video version of part 2, see the following link: In this 2nd half I start off by going into the right side of the epistemology tree, the differences between revelation as the basis of truth vs. empiricism/naturalism as the basis of truth. The discussion leads into some of the effects of these, and then I show how Burning Man represents the Earthly City for the purpose of understanding wher...

For the video version of part 1, see the following link: In this first half I talk about how we got into this ministry, my work as a missionary in the Philippines leading to studying international security, then meeting Carl and attending the Eclipse event in April of 2024.

This is the 5th video of our introductory series on The Orbis Sentry Report. Carl Teichrib and I talk about the large scale models we are using to understand the global changes that are happening. These are the Re-enchantment model, the 4th Turning (Neil Howe), and End Times (Peter Turchin). It is important to note that the last one is not a religiously framed model, having nothing to do with the...

This is the 4th video of our introductory series on The Orbis Sentry Report. Carl Teichrib and I talk about attending the Dayton Dialogue, which paralleled the NATO Parliament meeting in May of 2025.

Burning Man ended on September 1st. It took about 4 days for us to drive home after that, and then I had a series of other travels that I was on, which prevented me from really being able to settle down until around the beginning of October. That is the reason why the posts about our trip to Burning Man have come out so long after the event. So even though it has been 2 full months since the end o...

Given that my latest ministry newsletter was exceptionally long, I decided to record reading it and post that recording here in our podcast feed. That way, if you don’t have time to actually sit down and read it, you can listen to this podcast while driving or walking, or however you like to listen to your podcasts. If you have a favorite podcast app, you can paste rss link into the search page on...

Here we have the 2nd segment of the audio recording of our workshop at Burning Man. I broke it up into 2 audio segments to make is shorter and easier for people to listen to. I hope you enjoy it! Please leave any comments below! PS - if you look through the AI generated transcript, just know that the AI makes a ton of spelling errors, especially with the names of people in the stories.

This was a fireside chat type of discussion at a workshop we held at Camp of the Unknown God at Burning Man. In this segment, we start off introducing ourselves, and then I share some stories of what we experienced in the Philippines. Be prepared to hear some things that are kind of out of this world, pun intended. This is only the first part. In the 2nd part, which I will post after this, we talk...

I was invited to speak at the New Hampshire chapter of Military Order of World Wars (MOWW) to present the observations I have been watching on the cycles of history and what we are all experiencing in the current crisis period. This is the audio version of that discussion. The biggest takeaway from this discussion is that I highlight how all these things that are happening are going to impact our...

I am writing this on June 6th, 2025. The last morning of the Dayton Dialogue I went out walking in the beautiful neighborhood where our hosts lived. I wanted to get my blood flowing and a breath of fresh air before we drove down to the venue to attend the seminar later that morning. The grass was incredibly green as I walked by, with a deer standing in someone’s yard looking at me. It was around 5...

We had a final short sit-down session to wrap up the entire conference. I am glad that they put this conference on, as it has brought back to the forefront the dangers that Europe is facing, and how we as Christians living in the West should respond. I do not have a video for this podcast; this is audio only. However, there are several videos available for public viewing on youtube at this link: h...

I am able to now post this final summary of the Dayton Dialog from Day 4, which was Sunday a week ago, on May 25. So much has already happened since then. The last 2 days of the conference, Russia had bombarded Kiev with some of its largest airstrikes of the entire war. This happened right after Trump had talked to Putin, as if Putin was basically sending a message that he would do whatever he wan...
