Men, Missions, and the Frontlines of the Faith
Men are under assault. Culturally, spiritually, politically—the pressure is mounting. Work continues on my upcoming book addressing Christian masculinity in this moment of crisis. We’ll see if I can make the deadline. Even The New York Times is asking the question: “Where Have All the Men Gone?”

I joined Gino Geraci on his radio program for a wide-ranging two-hour discussion on politics, faith, and cultural resistance. Listen here (June 18 episode).

One of the more thought-provoking conversations this week was with Bradley Pierce of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion. We debated: What’s more urgent—abortion abolition or mass deportation? I took a position some didn’t like, and that’s good. Pushback sharpens the blade.
On the latest episode of Full Proof Theology, I welcomed back Ron Dodson to unpack the rising tensions between Israel and Iran—and what the Scriptures actually say about it. Watch it here:
Thanks for reading and standing firm.
More soon.
