Geopolitics, The United States, What’s Actually Happening — And Why You Should Be Paying Attention

Most people are still reading President Trump’s foreign policy through a lens that hasn’t been accurate for decades. What’s being attempted isn’t just a minor policy adjustment; it’s a fundamental restructuring of how America positions itself in the global order. Whether it succeeds or fails, every American should understand what’s at stake. As believers, we have an even greater responsibility to pay attention.

Verse & Vision | May 26, 2026

Jesus had just left the temple for the last time. His disciples asked him two questions about the end. His first word in response was not a timeline, or a sign. It was a warning. Before anything else – before wars, famines, or earthquakes – He said: Take heed that no man deceive you. That was not an accident. Matthew 24 is one of the most significant and most mishandled passages in all of scripture. Today we give it the full weight it deserves.

Dear Christians… | You MUST Employ Discernment in the Mainstream Church

A lot of people who decide to read the Bible for themselves for the first time quickly realize something uncomfortable, and in many ways disturbing: when it comes to mainstream theology, we’ve been duped.

The institutional church is in the falling away, but it’s happening systematically, and most of us have been looking for the wrong signs.

I want to show you what scholars wrote two hundred years ago, before the drift, and let you decide whether the plain text agrees with what you’ve been taught.

The Survival Manual I Almost Overlooked | The Author’s Perspective

I’ve been failing the test lately, with the weight of the world pressing down until it felt like water closing over my head. But God was determined to remind me of the survival manual He left us for times exactly like these. Through a stranger’s words on X, my mother’s “ghost,” and a chain of events that only make sense if He lined every single one up, God showed me how to stop carrying the wrong weight… and how to shift into the one posture that actually changes everything: counting it all joy.

It’s All Nonsense, Except Soul | Daily Bread

The people who are willing to honestly acknowledge when something feels deeply wrong are often the ones closest to real clarity. Not because discomfort or suffering is somehow noble in itself, but because the courage to sit with that unease, to follow the questions all the way down instead of numbing them or pushing them away, is exactly how truth begins to find us.

What Hard Seasons and Scripture Taught Me About Feelings | Daily Bread

Your brain is constantly scanning, analyzing, and assigning meaning to your circumstances, and then producing a feeling based on that interpretation. The feeling is real, but the interpretation is not always accurate. In short, our brains often lie to us. Feelings are data, but they are not always reliable data. This is not just theology. It is neuroscience. And it matters enormously for the Christian.

The Battle Within, The Rest Beyond | Spiritual Foundations for Healing

Healing is hard because it is a constant battle between your inner child, who is scared and just wants safety; your inner teenager, who is angry and just wants justice; and your current self, who is tired and just wants peace. In my experience, the only true solution to that battle is to surrender it to God and allow Him to work in your life, on His terms and in His time.

In That Day: Zechariah, Psalms 83, and the Prophetic Picture Nobody Is Discussing

The ceasefire expired today. The USS George H.W. Bush is in the region. Iran is filling its oil tanks and its lawmakers are openly floating a preemptive strike. And underneath all of it, four prophetic passages — Zechariah 12, Psalms 83, Isaiah 17, and Jeremiah 49 — may not be a sequence of future events at all, but a single moment already taking shape. In this post I walk through the biblical framework, what is happening on the ground, the spiritual architecture of the strong delusion, and what it means to live ready. These are not my conclusions. They are an invitation to yours.

The Double Portion: What Shame Is Really Pointing You Toward | Daily Bread

This morning someone very close to me said something that stopped me mid-morning and opened a conversation about one of the most misunderstood experiences in both human psychology and the Christian faith: shame. I considered what shame actually is, what it’s actually for, and why God never intended for us to make it our home.

If you are dealing with shame over your past behavior or choices, make no mistake. Shame is not meant to be wallowed in. It is meant to point us toward conviction and guide us forward into righteousness. It is a signal, not a sentence. A starting line, not a finish line.

God wants to restore you, just as He promises to do for Israel. The question is not whether He is willing. The question is whether you will allow Him to work in your life, or whether you will let shame block the blessing He is already holding out to you.

The Image of the Cross: Curse or Blessing, and What Are You Living? | Daily Bread

Someone told me recently that wearing a cross is a sin. “It’s a graven image, a violation of God’s law.” But a careful study of Scripture tells a very different story.

The second commandment was never a prohibition against every image or symbol. It was a command against worshiping created things as gods. God himself commanded images to be made, each one pointing toward His glory, His presence, and His provision… and ultimately toward the cross.

Christ broke every curse the law carried through His sacrifice, fulfilling what none of us ever could. The cross around the neck of a humble, spirit-filled believer is not an idol. It is a symbol of redemption, freedom, and the good news of salvation. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and we are commanded to carry that truth into the world.

Patterns, Cycles, and Ancient Warnings: Exploring the Work of Jonathan Cahn

There was a sycamore tree at the corner of Ground Zero. On September 11, 2001, it was struck by debris from the falling towers and destroyed. The stump was kept. You can look it up, see the photographs, and visit the location. It happened whether anyone was looking for it or not. That is one of nine documented harbingers Jonathan Cahn traces between a single verse from the eighth century BC and the events of that morning. This post is my full engagement with his work — because the material deserves more than a summary.

Why I Believe We Are Living in the End Times — and Why I’m Unbothered by Those Who Think I’ve Lost My Marbles

I’m aware of how this title lands. I’ve seen the eye-rolls, and honestly, I get it — the end times space has more than its share of sensationalism, date-setting, and people who seem to be enjoying the chaos a little too much. I’m not that. What I am is someone who has spent a lot of time looking carefully at Scripture, at history, and at current events — and who finds the convergence of all three genuinely difficult to dismiss. This is not a panic post. It’s a reference post. Take what’s useful, push back on what you disagree with, and at minimum, consider the possibility that the patterns are worth a serious look.

Science & Spirituality | Dinosaurs are Fake… DId You Know?

The Bible never uses the word “dinosaur” — and there’s a very good reason for that. It might not be what you think. Welcome to Did You Know? — a new series pulling back the curtain on the things that look like contradictions but are actually just gaps in translation, time, and context.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | Passing the Scroll

These aren’t questions that destabilize Scripture. What they destabilize is a shallow relationship with Scripture. A faith that can’t survive honest examination probably needed, and still needs, to be examined.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | Where I Stand

This is the part of this series where I stop circling the evidence and tell you plainly where all of this has landed for me. Not a conclusion to the questions, per se, but the position I’ve taken inside of them.

What the Desert Kept: The Unbound Word | Where the Thread Held

The Dead Sea Scrolls put real pressure on things I thought I understood — canon, transmission, messianic expectation. But pressure is not the same as rupture. A thread under tension is still a thread. This is where it held.
