“How do you work God into a conversation with someone who doesn’t believe in God?” That’s the question a friend asked recently. I said, “I don’t. I don’t shy away from talking about God as that’s who I am. But it’s natural, never forced. I don’t try and shoehorn God in every

Pink Floyd’s song “One Slip” has been playing in my head all morning. It’s about how one impulsive decision—one moment of weakness, one reckless choice—can change everything. It’s about that fragile moment between control and chaos — when a single misstep redirects your life. The

So much of what passes for “Christian influence” today sounds more like Christian control. We hear calls to “take back the culture,” “reclaim America for Christ,” and “restore Christian values.” But the kingdom of God doesn’t come by seizing cultural control. It doesn’t advance

America was not founded to be a “Christian nation”— it was founded to be a free one. The founders understood, wisely, that faith cannot be forced, legislated, or nationalized without losing its essence. Christianity thrives not because it’s mandated by governments, but because

When you start blending the gospel with nationalism, you don’t just confuse categories—you corrupt the message. The gospel isn’t about reclaiming a country; it’s about redeeming people. This kind of distortion doesn’t stay contained. It ripples out—generation after

Most Christians are terribly naive when it comes to how culture “works.” Some think, “If we just disciple enough people, the culture will turn around.” Others think, “If we take back the institutions, we can restore Christian America.” Both are wrong. Peter Berger helps us see

When we start talking about “transforming culture,” we need to be really careful. If by that we mean that the gospel frees and renews individual hearts — and that, as a byproduct, those renewed people may live differently in the world, bringing light and mercy into their

Many assume that the church exists to make the world a “more Christian” place—a moral improvement society, a political lobby, or a culture-shaping machine. But biblically, that’s never been the church’s mission. Watch the whole convo here: https://t.co/UJ7y32pyfq

Let’s stop pretending Jesus was a culture warrior. He wasn’t campaigning to “take the nation back for God.” He wasn’t building a voting bloc or establishing a “moral majority.” If He wanted political power, He would’ve run for office. Instead, He let Rome kill Him. The mission

One of the things an academic setting can do for you is make you humble. You realize just how much you don’t know, and you develop an allergy to simplistic, non-nuanced answers for questions that are deeply layered and complex. This is where I think a lot of Christian talk about

I’ve had a Pink Floyd needle in my arm for the last three weeks. I grew up loving them—their music, their mystique, their ability to make you feel like you’re floating outside yourself. Something recently turned me back on to them. Not that I’d ever left them behind, but I hadn’t

I absolutely believe Christians should be fully engaged in the world around them. In fact, it is precisely in the ordinary arenas of life—schools, neighborhoods, businesses, government, sports fields, hospitals—that the grace of God shows up in and through our humanity.

Camus nailed it: “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” That’s what the gospel does—it creates holy rebels. Grace doesn’t domesticate you, it detonates you. It makes you so free that you no
