“You’re Only a Christian Because of Where You Were Born” Examined Honestly
One of the most common objections to Christianity today rarely comes wrapped in anger or hostility. More often, it is delivered with a shrug, as if it settles the matter all by itself. “You’re only a Christian because you grew up in a Christian country.” Sometimes the phrasing changes slightly. The United States or North America may get mentioned. The West gets blamed. Occasionally, it is said with an air of psychological sophistication, as though belief has been neatly explained…
The God Who Is: Thomas Watson on the Attributes of God
The Theology of Thomas Watson Series: Part 2 This second part of my Thomas Watson Series is about his view on the Attributes of God. One of the reasons Puritan Thomas Watson still feels so relevant is that he never starts where modern Christianity often starts. He does not begin with our problems, our pain, our questions, or our felt needs. He begins with God. That decision alone explains much of the power of his writing. Watson believed that nearly…
Interest Level: Why Relationships Change and What Christian Men Need to Understand
If you have ever wondered why relationships between men and women often fail, why most women eventually grow cold, or why people become distant and drift apart, then this is the article for you. This is a concept called Interest Level, and, outside of the Bible, it is one of the most important concepts any man can learn. Introduction to the “Interest Level” Concept Virtually all men who have dated have experienced this at some point. Early on, things feel…
Advice I Would Give an 18-Year-Old
I know that there is a particular kind of clarity about life that only comes with time. It is not the clarity of having everything figured out, but the clarity that comes from seeing what mattered, what did not, and what quietly shaped your life while you were busy looking elsewhere. This article may or may not be written with specific young adults in mind, but I can declare with certainty that I’ve written to every young Christian standing at…
The Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall: The “Too Big” Structure That Has Cosmologists Squinting
I’ve always loved astronomy. Inspired by the original Star Wars movie (now called Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope) as a little kid, I could stare up at the night sky and feel two things at the same time: incredibly small and strangely steady. For a short while, I even wanted to be an astronomer when I grew up. That said, I haven’t always kept up on astronomical news over the decades like I probably should. I just…
Who Was Thomas Watson and Why Should Modern Christians Read Him?
The Theology of Thomas Watson Series: Part 1 The Puritans should be required reading for every serious Christian. Men like John Owen, Jonathan Edwards, Stephen Charnock, Richard Sibbes, John Bunyan, and Jeremiah Burroughs have a way of cutting through spiritual fog and forcing us to deal honestly with God, sin, and eternity. They were not writing to entertain or impress, but to shepherd souls. Out of all of the Puritans, Thomas Watson has become my personal favorite, and over time,…
A 26-Week Bible Reading Plan for Christians Who Are Done Making Excuses
26-Week, 6-Month Bible-Reading Plan I’ve noticed something over the years, both in my own life and in conversations with other believers. Most Christians genuinely want to be in the Word of God. They believe the Bible is inspired. They believe it matters. They believe it shapes faith, obedience, courage, and endurance. And yet, many of us drift. Not because we stopped believing, but because life gets crowded. Schedules fill up. Attention gets fractured. Good intentions never quite turn into daily…
The Basics We Abandoned and Must Recover
There are moments when the Christian life does not need new strategies, new language, or new platforms. It needs repentance. It needs clarity. It needs men to stop drifting and return to the ground they once stood on with conviction. Many Christian men today are busy, informed, and distracted. We read articles, watch clips, debate issues, and follow leaders. Yet for all our activity, many of us have quietly left the basics behind. We still believe the right things, but…
The Future of Christianity in the West: Why Persecution Is Rising and How Believers Must Stand Firm
Introduction: The Shifting Cultural Landscape If you pay attention to what is happening around us, you can sense the ground moving under your feet. It almost feels like the West went from casual indifference toward Christianity to open irritation in the span of less than a generation. The ideas that once shaped our laws, our families, our schools, and even our sense of morality are no longer welcome at the public table. The same Gospel that lifted the Western world…
Christian Men Need to Stop Blaming Culture, and Start Blaming Their Own Unfaithfulness
Christian men everywhere are pointing fingers. They complain about the government, the school system, the music industry, the media, the universities, the younger generations, and every political opponent they can name. “Things just aren’t the way they were 20-30 years ago!” They shake their heads. They rant on social media. They talk about how the world has fallen apart. They keep shouting about the decline of morality in the culture. And while they are busy complaining, their own spiritual lives…
The Kind of Woman a Godly Man Should Pursue
Most single Christian men feel the weight of this question at some point. “What kind of woman should I be looking for?” It is one of the biggest decisions a man can make under the authority of Christ. I remember sitting with older brothers in the faith years ago, asking them to help me think through this. I had bad relationship after bad relationship, and I did not want to drift into marriage while blind to character. I wanted a…
Sit With The Christian Warriors. The Conversation’s Different.
Most men drift toward crowds that make them feel comfortable. I know I did when I was younger. I would sit with guys who shared my hobbies, my humor, or my surface-level interests. We talked about sports, jobs, politics, movies, gear, cars, hunting, fishing, and whatever garbage drama we were frustrated with that week. It felt normal and it felt easy. But the older I got, and the more I walked with Christ, the more I started to realize something.…
Strongest Atheist Claims Unraveled By One Honest Question
When One Honest Question Unravels the Strongest Atheist Claims Every believer has been there. You are talking with a skeptical friend, and they throw out a confident one-liner about why Christianity is supposedly irrational. These lines often sound airtight at first. They come packaged in certainty, sprinkled with a little science, philosophy, or personal conviction. But when you dig into them, many of these objections collapse under the weight of one simple question or one piece of evidence that cannot…
Why Modern Motivational Speakers Get It Wrong About Inner Strength
Most of us hear the same message every time we scroll through our feeds. Believe in yourself. Trust your own strength. Look deeper within. You already have everything you need. It sounds inspiring on the surface. It feels like you are being handed a key to unlock potential and confidence. A lot of men grab on to it because life feels heavy. They want something that promises strength and control. But here is the problem. That entire message is built…
