  • 468 I'm a Christian Now, What's Next? Worship
    May 13 2026
    Down in the bone marrow of following Christ is worship. In this free style conversation Mark and I discuss the whys, whats, and what-abouts of worship. Is God a megalomaniac who created us to worship him because he has need? Is there some lack in God that worship fills for him? If not, what is the reason for worship? Along the same lines, how do we take and make our daily lives—our chores, our work, our relationships, and even our physical dwelling space—an act of worship to Christ Jesus? What is the difference between ritual and ritualism? Why do we need both spirit and truth, heart-felt sentiment and doctrinal accuracy? And then, when we are worshiping, does God's Spirit come and overpower us so that it's only him involved? Come think and laugh with me and Mark.

  • 467 Special—Is Trump the Anti-Christ?
    May 6 2026

    Is Donald Trump the anti-Christ? Church folk on the Left so say. To assess the possibilities I work through features of the anti-Christ found across the Bible. Along the way I also variously: give a personal health update, talk about a recent camping trip and what that made me think about, offer a suggested name for any angry new band, share my feelings about the current price of a gallon of gas, reflect on what is going on with the Southern Poverty Law Center and the impact that organization had on thousands of pastors, take a humorous look back at a now-more-common compliment I received, and think out loud about political-Christian hypocrisy. Let's both hone our thinking about anti-Christ and share some laughter together.

  • 466 I'm a Believer Now, What's Next? Life's Trials
    Apr 29 2026
    It's a common assumption, when one turns to God, commits one's identity to Christ, life should become happier, healthier, more blessed. But commonly the opposite happens. And when life's trials begin to pile on us we tend to, precisely because we've read about miracles and deliverance in the Bible, ask, "why are you doing this to me, God?" When it is prolonged we can think in our hearts, "why is God frowning on me?" We make one-for-ones out of our sufferings. Mark and I talk through the ins and outs of life's trials, what those mean (or don't), and what the book of Job shows us today about our suffering. Come think and laugh with us.
