Colorado Democrats are afraid of Roe vs. Wade being overturned this year. So afraid, in fact, that they are trying to ram through a radically evil abortion bill! HB 22-1279, also known as the "Reproductive Health Equity Act" would enshrine into statute abortion on demand for any reason with no restrictions using any means up until birth (and quite possibly beyond). It is unclear even from the legi...

Since I am starting to recover from a cold and voice is not at the moment all it's cracked up to be (it mostly just cracks), I got permission from Andrew Rappaport to re-air an episode of the Rapp Report from July 4, 2021 entitled "National Strategy for Counter Terrorism Against Christians." It's certainly eye-opening for those of us expecting to live in "the land of the free," but, as Christians,...

Chelsea and I chat more about how husbands and wives can get along and make the most of their marriage. Understanding common differences that often manifest themselves between men and women can help communication and prevent arguments. We observe helpful differences in Psychology Brain structure Communication Becoming aware of our differences as how God made us can help us appreciate our spouse as...

It's finally Truthspresso Express time again! I combined three commute talks into one packed episode to share my thoughts about the President's State of the Union address.

Chelsea and I went to a marriage retreat this last weekend. Some of what we heard makes it way into our discussion. We direct this episode mostly toward engaged couples to prepare Biblically for marriage. We encourage premarital counseling , but show the difference between secular and Biblical questions. If you're getting close to that wedding day, understand how being married is very different fr...

Scott Distler, pastor of Gaylord E-Free Church joins me to talk about his book The Cave: When Ministry Becomes Misery . Pastor Scott shares his testimony of how his apparent ministry success quickly turned into misery through betrayal. After the prophet Elijah scored a miraculous victory against the prophets of Baal, he soon found himself hiding in a cave asking God to end his life. This "cave" ex...

My wife Chelsea returns to co-host with me for this Valentines Day episode. What is love? Dictionaries describe it as a "feeling," "affection," "passion," or "desire." These are all well and good, but do they fully describe what love is? The Bible has a lot to say about love that doesn't quite fit these terms. We see how the Bible defines love as Commanded Sacrificial Selfless Unconditional The wo...

We are continuing and finally concluding a series of episodes comparing Jesus to superheroes. This series will tackle wrong ideas about Jesus from church history in chronological order. A superhero (in this case a super villain ) will represent each of these ideas. This is part 3 of 3 of "Is Jesus Like Doctor Octopus?" In this episode we cover two takeaways from the monothelite controversy that ma...

We are continuing a series of episodes comparing Jesus to superheroes. This series will tackle wrong ideas about Jesus from church history in chronological order. A superhero will represent each of these ideas. This is part 2 of 2 3 of "Is Jesus Like Doctor Octopus?" After a bit of review of our superheroes and the issues, we look at the intricate history of this conflict over monothelitism in the...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I talk about the Jehovah's Witnesses contention over what Jesus told the thief on the cross: "Today, you will be with me in paradise." We can observe several points: The word today is unnecessary if it isn't part of the message. The word paradise is also what Paul observed as the "third heaven." According to Jehovah's Witness teaching, Jesus couldn't even be...

We are continuing a series of episodes comparing Jesus to superheroes. This series will tackle wrong ideas about Jesus from church history in chronological order. A superhero will represent each of these ideas. This is part 1 of 2 of "Is Jesus Like Doctor Octopus?" Who is Doctor Octopus? How are Jesus and Doctor Octopus similar? They both seemingly have a distinct human and "divine" nature. They a...

At long last another episode of Truthspresso Express! After studying a barrage of articles showing contradictory and gaping holes in the narrative to push the V, I present the case for sanity and truth. How do we reconcile firing tens of thousands of healthy workers for not taking a V with expecting others to work even while symptomatic from the very contagion that the V is supposed to prevent? Ou...

Keith Heltsley, co-host of the Quest For Truth podcast , interviewed me and my brother John to talk about Jehovah's Witnesses and our book When the Watchtower Knocks: Discussing an Encounter With Jehovah's Witnesses . The interview was originally recorded on November 10, 2021 and was aired on Quest For Truth on November 15. Quest For Truth and Truthspresso are both member podcasts of the Christian...

Chelsea and I continue and close our two-part series about New Year's resolutions from a Biblical perspective. We begin with three weird and unusual New Year's resolutions that people have made. Then we continue our assessment from the Bible about the kinds of resolutions that Christians should make. We should reflect about how Christianity looks at life differently from the world: Christians shou...

Chelsea and I recorded this episode late at night closing out the year 2021. We discuss the history of New Year's resolutions. The roots go back to ancient history! We hash some statistics about how many people make resolutions, what they're about, and how successful (or unsuccessful many are). We then look at what the Bible says about resolutions and making rash promises. The secular world is oft...

Chelsea and I throw our hats in the ring to examine the lyrics to the song "Mary, Did You Know?" by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene. We group lyrics into these categories: Did Mary know Jesus would rule the nations? Did Mary know Jesus would perform miracles? Did Mary know Jesus would save people from their sins? Did Mary know Jesus would be divine? We also cover a few more ancillary questions about w...

I piece together three recent driving talks into one Truthspresso Express episode to drive us through the whole saga involving actor Jussie Smollett and his hate crime hoax. We look at everything from his letter, the staged incident, the police report, the media reaction, the Good Morning America interview, the original charges being dropped, and the trial. Lessons God cares about truth. Victimhoo...

Chelsea and I reminisce a bit on our Christmas traditions when we were kids and what we do now. We mentioned our favorite Christmas songs and why we like them. We talk about various traditions and how they developed over time. Is it Ok to celebrate Christmas or have a Christmas tree? Where did Santa Claus come from? Why do we give gifts at Christmas? Chelsea even put me on the spot to try to imita...

I had the privilege to interview Anthony Russo about his new book Jesus Changed Everything: He Changed History, He Can Change Your Story . Anthony gives his testimony of being converted from Roman Catholicism but also later from nominal Christianity. He realized from the Bible just how central Jesus is to everything we believe--even our reason for living. We talk about how cultures try to worship...

Chelsea and I conclude our series on Thanksgiving by cherishing the value of life. This episode is based on a presentation we gave at our church a few years ago. First, we briefly mention our miscarriage. Then, we explain the political push for the abortion pill and how the regimen works. Next, we discuss the growing success of the abortion pill reversal and how Internet search engines are blockin...

Chelsea and I continue our series on Thanksgiving by recognizing how precious life really is and how society wants to make it disposable. We tell the gripping story of our second son's battle for life. Doctors advised us to get an abortion for false pretenses. Our son struggled to survive his birth. Over the years he underwent heart surgeries and intestinal surgeries. Yet, the hand of God was in h...

Chelsea and I give a brief overview of the first Thanksgiving celebration in 1621. We look at how the pilgrims sacrificed their lives for religious freedom. Their example of thanking God in tough times should inspire us to be thankful for what we have, even when we don't think we have much. We also compare what the pilgrims and the Wampanoag natives likely ate at the three days of feasting with th...

On my drive to work Tuesday morning I relay some evidence that Jesus died on a cross structure. Jehovah's Witnesses claim that Jesus died only on a pole with no cross beam. My brother John and I were recently interviewed on The Quest For Truth with Keith Heltsley to talk about our recent book When the Watchtower Knocks: Discussing an Encounter With Jehovah's Witnesses . I am giving much of the sam...

Chelsea and I look on the bright side as we kick off the Thanksgiving season. We talk about how to have a perspective of thankfulness when things are hard. We finish the episode by telling each other some Thanksgiving "dad jokes."

During my drive to work I give my thoughts from reading a PBS article about President Biden's "Build Back Better" bill. Although he expressed concern about inflation he claimed the new $1.2-trillion bill would help fight inflation. We've heard the statement "less is more." Biden seems to be claiming "more is less" as yet more irresponsible theft and spending is supposed to lessen the effects of pr...
