Nashville: Blessed are the Nashvillians
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are the victims of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, for they are with God.

A Letter to Morgan: I Love You, Sweetheart
Dearest Morgan,
It’s four in the morning. And I’m awake. Just sitting here. Thinking about you.
I haven’t slept since your last text. Your text about how doctors placed you under hospice care. Your text asking me to come say one last goodbye.
God Was Too Unbelievable, So We Gave Him a Spaceship
Somewhere along the way, America decided Genesis was too unbelievable—but extraterrestrials flying across the galaxy to genetically modify primitive hominids sounded perfectly reasonable. From Mark Passio’s theories to Ancient Aliens and today’s UAP obsession, an alternative creation story has quietly seeped into popular culture. We didn’t stop asking who created us; we just traded heaven for outer space, angels for aliens, and creation for a genetics lab in a spaceship. God was apparently too unbelievable—so we gave Him a spaceship.
The Great Shipwreck
Anna and her four young daughters were on a trip to England on the SS Ville du Havre. It was a French steamship. All iron. Built like a tank. Except, of course, tanks weren’t around yet. This was 1873.
The Dead Wood Needs to Go
A dead tree (and a battered Jeep) remind you that God, the gardener, prunes away what’s no longer alive in you so what’s fruitful can thrive.
American Idols
There’s no question that America has turned away from God. Yes, there are some true Christ followers left who sincerely love and seek the Lord with all their hearts, but their numbers are few, and Jesus said it would be this way.
Firearms Are Part of My Religion: The Armed Christian Creed
What if the duty to protect your family didn’t begin with the Second Amendment at all? The Armed Christian Creed argues that our responsibility to defend innocent life comes from God, while the Constitution simply recognizes and protects a pre-existing right to keep and bear arms. We worship God, not our arms. They are not symbols of aggression, but tools carried with discipline, humility, and the hope they are never needed. The firearm is not sacred. The life we may someday be called upon to protect is.
Meet Eli Hill: The greatest kid you’ll never meet
This morning I walked into a drugstore in downtown Nashville and bought three sacks of blue raspberry Dum-Dums.
The cashier looked at me funny. She casually asked why I was buying so many blue raspberry suckers.
So I told her a story.
The Three Human Rebellions: Lessons from Genesis and Modern Reflections
In the early chapters of Genesis, we encounter three pivotal instances of human rebellion that have left a profound impact on the course of human history.
Empty Airports
When life puts us in an unexpected holding pattern, we can trust that God is present and working—even when all we can see is an empty concourse and a flashing DELAYED sign.

My ancestor saved Thanksgiving
A Democrat candidate for governor of Wisconsin wants to cancel Thanksgiving over colonialism—aka civilizing a savage continent. The anti-white fervor on college campuses has spread to throughout the Democrat Party and the halls of government.
She wants to replace it with a 6-course celebration on menstruation.
The Evergreen Tree: When a Pine Became a Warning Label for Tyrants
Long before Americans argued about flags on social media, our ancestors managed to make a tree politically dangerous. Britain reserved many of New England’s great white pines for the Royal Navy—even trees growing on colonial lands—marking them with the King’s Broad Arrow. The pine became a symbol of something much bigger: ownership, natural rights, independence, and the stubborn belief that free citizens had both the right and responsibility to defend their country. That’s why an evergreen ended up beneath the words “AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN.”
Bolshevik Revolution 2.0
“The goal of socialism is communism” Vladimir Lenin
It has been said that communism will always attempt to come in through the front door. If locked, it will try the back door, if that fails, it will crawl in through a window.
As astonishing as it may seem, the United States is currently witnessing a resurgence of the Bolshevik Revolution, but this time it is occurring within our country. The Bolsheviks transformed Russia and much of the world, turning it upside down. They had few allies and faced numerous adversaries across every continent.
Spiritual Dog Days
Even during the spiritual “dog days,” when our hearts feel weary and our motivation fades, God invites us to keep seeking Him and promises to renew our strength.
Tell Me What’s Wrong With Christian Nationalism
We have millions of people living in the United States today who are not American citizens. They come from countless other nations, most of which do not share our morals or values. Many worship false — and violent — gods. Many follow false religions, and cults with radical ideologies. What’s even worse is that today, we have many government officials, leaders, and people in powerful positions of control that have no business being there, because they’ve never met the requirements for US Citizenship, they have contempt for our US Constitution and have no intention of ever assimilating to our culture.

George Patton’s Secret Weapon Wasn’t a Tank—It Was Faith
Before the skies cleared over the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton didn’t call for another committee meeting—he called for a chaplain. While modern America places its faith in technology, data, and bureaucracy, Patton believed victory required something more. He prepared relentlessly, commanded fearlessly, and then bowed his head in prayer. Days later, the weather broke, Allied aircraft filled the skies, and Patton pinned a Bronze Star on the chaplain who had written the famous weather prayer. Whether you call it coincidence or providence, one of America’s greatest generals never apologized for believing that faith belonged on the battlefield alongside tanks, artillery, and courage.
A Forecast You Can Believe
God pours out showers of grace and righteousness on His people, then sends us into the world to become a blessing to others.
Why I Stopped Writing And Started Listening
I’m sure some of you have noticed I haven’t been writing as much as I used to. I get lots of emails asking why this is. Many of these emails are ultra-friendly emails, beginning with the words, “WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!?”
To answer this, I need to start by telling you about our trip to Spain.
