For many, apologetics is associated with arguments over rational, philosophical proofs. It’s a matter of the head instead of the heart, a debate over facts instead of feelings. But no matter what kind of apologetics you practice, you’re arguing accor... more

  • 1/2 of my Favorite Podcasts

    Along with Life, Books, and Everything (featuring Colin Hansen quite often), Gospelbound is easily one of my favorite podcasts. It is rare that I miss or skip an episode. Colin is one of the best question-askers I have ever listened to. So thankful for such great content coming out of TGC.

  • TGC espouses modern liberal progressive woke ideology over biblical truth

    TGC espouses modern liberal progressive woke ideology over biblical truth. In doing so they are clearly seeking to please man rather than God. They push feminism and anti-white rhetoric because that happens to align with the spirit of the age but would be foreign to centuries of Christian fathers

  • Mostly good but sometimes frustrating

    I found the last episode about parenting and women not having children to be a bit frustrating. Definitely need a woman’s point of view to weigh in there. As a woman in my late 30’s I always assumed I would be married and have a few kids by now. However that has not been my story. However I’m so glad I live in a time where I have the option to pursue a career and grow in my faith and skills all the while being open and hoping to have a family of my own. I’m so glad I don’t live in a time when I’... more

A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory
Q: Now, when we used to see that argument, it was, well, that's because society doesn't accept this. Is that still trotted out and used against parents?
Yes, there are still remnants of that argument, but data now contradicts the narrative that transition leads to improved mental health.
A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory
Q: What was it that made that period of time, that transgender tipping point in Western society?
Rob discusses the significant rise of transgender visibility due to celebrities promoting transgender identities and changes in institutional frameworks like the DSM-5.
Church Could (Literally) Save Your Life
Q: Is it religion that benefits people or is it Christianity?
The studies show that actual participation in religious services—regardless of the specific religion—can lead to improved mental and physical health outcomes.
Church Could (Literally) Save Your Life

Q: What is the most important tech decision that could be made right now by families?
