What would you say if you found out one of your kids was gay?

Or maybe it isn't your child, but a family member or close friend who comes out to you. Some of you have already had this experience. I suspect quite a few readers are afraid of what to do if it happens.

You probably have an established...

He finished the sermon first.

One day after Mica Miller was found dead in a North Carolina state park, her husband stood in the pulpit at Solid Rock Church and preached. Then, at the very end, he told the congregation his wife was gone and that she had done it to herself. A whole sermon, and the de...

I grew up being told to fear the liberal agenda. The idea was that if I wasn't properly guarded, I would eventually become desensitized to homosexuality, or would wake up one day and realize I no longer had any morals. Whenever a TV show or movie would depict any type of queer affection, the reactio...

I grew up with constant reminders of how unique I was. No one else had my fingerprints. No one else had my particular blend of experiences, talents, and passions. The self-help industry has made billions confirming this. LinkedIn exists almost entirely to prove it. We have built an entire civilizati...

The most-cited proof that America was founded as a Christian nation traces back to a single paper written in 1984. It turns out the author of that paper said the opposite.

There is a claim circulating in Christian nationalist circles that has been repeated so many times by so many prominent people ...

I'm sometimes asked why my theology sounds political. The assumption being that theology and politics are two separate areas and are better off in their respective corners. Except theology has never worked like that.

We often try to "spiritualize" stories and narratives so that we can separate theo...

Recently, a video of fish raining from the sky in Georgia went viral on social media. If you were discerning enough, you could tell the video was AI-generated and not real. But what's unnerving is that if you did a quick Google search about it, the AI summary told you that this story was, in fact, r...
