In the Line of Fire

I arrived at my radio studio Monday to learn that social media sites were blowing up over the latest controversy involving Pastor Mark Driscoll. He had publicly called out the performance of a sword-swallowing acrobat as demonic without talking to the pastor first. The pastor, in turn, then called out Driscoll in midstream, shutting down

As expected, in retaliation for Israel’s killing of a top Iranian general and seven other senior military leaders on April 1, all of whom were suspected of having Israeli blood on their hands, Iran struck back on Saturday night, launching roughly 350 drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles on Israel. This marked the first time

The images, as expected, were jarring, disturbing, horrific. Little children in their pajamas, butchered in their own beds,

And, just as importantly: Has America ever been a Christian nation? And how does this relate to Christian nationalism? One of the latest fear-provoking headlines, this one

Three out of five women view ‘woke’ ideas positively, but only one out of seven men.” This reflects a similar phenomenon observed in other countries, and,

It is one thing to push pills that could lead to death because of overdose or abuse. It is another thing to push pills that are designed to kill. But that’s just what one young pop star is doing—a pop star with 36.7 million Instagram followers. I’m speaking of Olivia Rodrigo, and the pills she
