The Wicked movies show us that we are probably Post-Postmodern. In Modernism, people made truth claims, which were really power claims in disguise. In Postmodernism, people thought if we undermined truth, we would have more equal power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV3L...

Why do White Evangelicals have a developed taste for retribution? Retired Minnesota pastor turned commentator Pat Kahnke says, “In a nation where MAGA pseudo-Christians cheer for ICE raids, buy “Alligator Alcatraz” merch, and defend a bill that devastates the poor while fattening billionaires...

Critique and correct “Christian Patriarchy” A great explanation of the egalitarian-equality position, in practical and biblical terms new classes in February!

Take 4 minutes to get an overview of the biblical theme of Empire. The U.S. is certainly acting like an Empire with its unprecedented action in Venezuela. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk1E... See comments for the full video from which this was taken.

"Who can say if I've been changed for the better?" Many fans of postmodernism said all truth claims were power claims. So if there is no objective beauty, goodness & truth, then we would get more freedom, peace & democracy. Intead, we got the Wizard www.youtube.com/shorts/UUdHt...

ICYMI: Check out the latest episode of "It's a Man's World: The Genesis 3:16 Effect," featuring special guest Judge Tim Fall.

The fertility cult is as old as human civilization itself, and it’s usually complemented by a masculine cult of militarism. This is why, even when we put "Christian" in front of it, the results don't change. It's a fertility cult ... and a death cult. racheldarnall.substack.com/p/this-weeks...

I appreciate RFK calling lower fertility rates "a national security threat" on the same day that I published this article about militant pronatalism in the church. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Empathy: according to Elon Musk, it's "a bug in western civilization." For several evangelical influencers, it can be "toxic," an "enticing sin," and "emotional sabatoge" ... and it's why women can't be trusted with power. youtu.be/n3js5xif3U4?...

🌟NEW EPISODE! 🌟 Featuring a guest interview with Judge Tim Fall, this episode covers the empathy wars, #Repealthe19th and how God wants men and women to be rulers with "bowels of mercy." www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3js...

US Evangelicalism: Fertility cult, Death cult, & Eugenics: In this episode, we'll see how a modern version of the cult of fertility - eugenics - was syncretized with American Christianity at the beginning of the 20th century - an unholy marriage found in the "Quiverfull" movement...

Ever notice that Jesus appeals to our emotions, to connect with us? And to connect us with himself? Jesus treats our emotions as windows into his own emotions, and into God's love. youtube.com/shorts/3UU1M...

The Bible knew of moments like this: When political elites forget the past and use immigrants for labor... Yet, the elites also fear and suppress them. "Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph..."
