You’re Not “Giving Up’ Anything
In my younger days, I couldn’t imagine living in the year 2025. It sounded so futuristic. Still does. But here we all are…and still without the flying cars that Popular Mechanics promised were just around the corner back in 1969.
A Funeral Runs Through It
The casket was rolled in. The piano played funeral hymns. And there I was, behind a pulpit, poised before a congregation that was standing-room only.
The Christmas Breaks of Boyhood

From Martians to Drones: Why We Still Panic Like It’s 1938
In 1938, Orson Welles turned a quiet evening into chaos with his War of the Worlds radio broadcast. People thought Martians had landed because a trusted voice told them so, and there wasn’t exactly a fact-check hotline back then.

From Metal to Meh: How Today’s ‘Woke Beats’ Fail to Rock

Wolves, Sheep, and Sheepdogs: How to Avoid Becoming Someone’s Lunch
In the chaotic animal kingdom of human society, Dave Grossman’s metaphor of wolves, sheep, and sheepdogs is as relevant as ever—especially if you’ve spent five minutes watching the news. Wolves choose evil, sheepdogs could absolutely unleash evil but don’t (thanks, Jesus), and the sheep? Well, they’re busy following whatever TikTok trend or cable news talking …
We Few, We Happy Few: Why Today’s Youth Need the Motivation of Shakespeare’s Words

My Local Bishop Really Hates Donald Trump
While I cannot say that I am friends with His Excellency, the Most Reverend John Stowe, O.F.M. Conv., Bishop of Lexington, we are at least acquainted with each other.

From Eden to Entitlement: The Lost Art of Purpose
