I was in my mid-20s living in San Diego. I joined some people from a nearby church and went to a Pride parade to pass out water, give hugs, and hold signs saying “We are sorry the church hasn’t loved you the way Jesus would” (or something along those lines). All of a...
“They’ve started protesting.” My son paused his channel surfing and turned up the volume. We watched in silence as a crowd of screaming women threw themselves against the doors of an Arizona courthouse. We had discussed the fallout of overturning Roe v. Wade since...
For the past month, our local stores have been gradually stocking gear for the next holiday: Pride Month. Rainbows have become the pumpkin spice of late spring. Your toddler can now rock a trans rights tee-shirt. Even Mittens the cat can have an oh-so-fabulous...
Two days ago, a judicial cowpie hit the proverbial fan when a supreme court justice document in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to news outlet Politico. This 98-page behemoth (which you can read here) was written by Justice Samuel Alito. He argues that...
Oh Lord, my God. My rock. My redeemer. We have so much blood on our hands. You say in Your Word that the blood of the innocent cries out to you (Genesis 4:10). Bloodshed pollutes the very land in which we live (Numbers 35:33). Oh, my God, our land is polluted with the...
What does the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill really say? You might have heard of a bill that was recently passed in Florida which has been pejoratively dubbed as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill by LGBTQ+ activists. (The official name is ‘Parental Rights in Education Bill’, or HB...
Like many of you, our family has been watching the unfolding Russian invasion of Ukraine with a mixture of disbelief and fear. The last time I remember watching the TV so closely was in high school when the War on Terror took place on American soil. It was surreal...
A clip from Skillet frontman John Cooper has recently been making the rounds on social media. In it, Cooper is heard saying that “it is time to declare war on this idolatrous deconstruction Christian movement.” And just like that, the Christian community split. One...
There are times when I’m not sure I have any ability to do the things I have a passion for, and there are other times I feel like I was made for those things. It is a tumultuous wrestling that sometimes takes place in the life of a believer. We struggle with...
The world has watched in horror as Afghanistan, a nation in which we have invested for decades, has toppled in a matter of days. Over here in the West, school is just starting. The COVID-19 Facebook debates are making me want to give up social media altogether, and...
Boy-howdy, satirical music is really cheesing off the masses this past month! Just after posting an article roaring through Matthew West and the modesty debate (you can read it here), another tongue-in-cheek ditty decided to kick up a fuss. Only this one was by the...
In Matthew West’s latest satire song, “Modest is Hottest,” this dad of teen girls is smacked with the realization that his babies aren’t babies anymore. How should his daughters navigate the saucy side of TikTok and the pending arrival of boys at the front door? By...
For the past month, #cancelnetflix has been trending on social media. Why? It all comes down to a new French film titled Cuties. (A grand jury recently issued an indictment against Netflix because of this film. Read about it here.) I read many of the reviews, but one...
Sifting, church. A great sifting is taking place in our ranks. Destructive ideologies are infiltrating the church. Culturally reinforced Christianity is, for the most part, a thing of the past. (Which I’m actually kinda okay with. It’s about time that the only people...
By Teasi Cannon Ah, Sunday morning! When Christian children everywhere rise early, yelling through the halls with gleeful anticipation, Wake up, everyone! It’s church day! Wait, what? This isn’t your reality? No need to worry. I’m not sure it’s anyone’s reality. In...
I have a good friend and apologist who posted on Facebook the other day. It wasn’t her normal careful, reasoned response. It was angry and belittling — not at all like her. I sent her a private message that said something along the lines of, “I love you, friend! Do...

Listen to the article here: Coronavirus… It is the giant elephant-virus in the room that everyone is talking about… so let’s talk about it from a Mama Bear perspective. I sometimes jokingly refer to myself as a “Debbie downer” because my first instinct isn’t to make...
Several weeks ago, I attended the Women in Apologetics (WIA) Conference at Biola University in Southern California. I was excited to learn about conversational apologetics, Critical Race Theory, worldviews, and more! To my surprise, however, it wasn’t a session that...
