Created in the Image: Why Humans Know Better Than Dolphins
You’ve probably seen it in a nature documentary or read it in a biology textbook: dolphins are among the smartest animals on Earth. But, no matter how intelligent a dolphin is, it will never have a conscience.
Dispatches Del Camino (#14)
It was a little church. Off the main path. And you don’t see many “little” churches on the Camino. Most churches here are Gothic monuments. Stone gargantuans, with bells, towering medieval doors, and golden altars. This wasn’t one of those.
I Am the Vine
“I am the vine and you are the branches,” is a familiar scripture. What does it mean to be a part of the vine? And what does it mean to “remain” in the vine?

Dispatches Del Camino (#11)
We all stand outside the small market in Villamayor. There are about twenty-five, maybe thirty of us hapless, fatigued pilgrims. Sweaty and covered in grit. All wearing the same clothes we were wearing two weeks ago.
Requiescat in Pace, Pope Francis
My Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — feed was full of chortling posts claiming that the Vatican denied Vice President J D Vance a meeting with Pope Francis, sending the Vatican’s second-ranking official instead, in what the left loudly proclaimed was a deliberate snub to Mr Vance. That’s not quite what it …
Dispatches Del Camino (#8)
We are walking through Navarrete on Easter Monday the moment Pope Francis dies. The bells of the massive church are ringing, non-stop. Locals are in a kind of reverential shock.
An Old Easter Story
When we were growing up, my brother and I never got Easter baskets. Easter meant going to church and getting new Easter clothes. Our parents (actually, we just blame Mom–sorry, Mom) wanted to instill in us that Easter was not about rabbits or chocolate eggs, but rather about the resurrection of Jesus.
Inferno’s Lasting Legacy—Why Dante’s Hell Still Matters Today
Dante’s Inferno is over 700 years old, yet its vision of Hell still shapes how we imagine the afterlife, sin, and justice.
The Thesis of Inferno—Dante’s View on Sin and Justice; Part 2
Dante’s Inferno is not just an imaginative journey through Hell—it is a moral argument. The poem presents a world where every sin has a price, where wrongdoers receive punishments perfectly suited to their crimes.
No, CBS, Maryland is not part of El Salvador
I realize your propaganda machine foams at the mouth over the thought of President Trump but just as biology does not allow you to magically turn a man into a woman, so geography does not allow you to call a citizen of El Salvador a Maryland man.
Signs Of The Approaching Chaos
Are we approaching a chaos event horizon – the point at which we’ll lack the moral foundation to self-govern? The evidence that the values essential for democracy are disappearing from our society is overwhelming.
Dispatches from El Camino
Amazingly, spirituality is not a “weird” and awkward subject for the people of Madrid, it’s normalized. Here, people seem to treat the topic of religion as cordially as you’d discuss college football.
God’s Lifeboat Is More Than Half Empty

Dear Heaven
Dear God,
It’s me again. Actually, I don’t know what you want me to call you. For all I know, you might prefer to be called something Hebrew, Latin, or maybe you don’t want to be called anything at all.
Spring Has Sprung!
Worship is the way that we show reverence, respect, and love for our God. And music is one of the wonderful ways that we can worship!
Revival & Reverence, Returning To God
I’d like to begin today with a couple of verses of Scripture. From Isaiah 30, “For they are a rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the instruction of the Lord; who say to the seers, ‘Do not see,’ and to the prophets, ‘Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us …
