Season 2; Beginning February 5, 2026
I took a huge step back from content development so I could settle into a new pastorate at Alex Southern Baptist Chapel. Thinking about my content ministry for the next year, 2026, I checked the numbers. To my surprise, listener and reader engagement has increased, not decreased, as I’ve taken it easy. I’m not sure…

The Veracity of the Prophetic Witness
I’m always amazed at the accuracy of prophecy as recorded in the Bible. I’m currently looking at the prophetic witness leading up to Christmas for our church, a different part of the messianic prediction every day. Be sure to look for the 25 days of Christmas from Alex, that’s A-L-E-X, Southern Baptist Chapel. From 1,500…

Faith: The Basis of All Human Belief
There are many people who claim to believe something because of some degree of empirical evidence. People who believe the earth is old claim to believe it is old based on some manner of carbon dating. They claim to base their theories of evolution on similarities in genetic sequences or fossils. In the same manner,…

Did God Know Adam Would Fall? Why Would He Let That Happen?
Knowledge itself is a pretty interesting topic. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even possible to know anything at all. I’m part of a Facebook group in which people debate issues related to God’s existence, creation ex theos, and Darwinian evolution. In truth, there’s not much debating actually going on–just people posting pictures that don’t actually…

The Rapture Didn’t Happen, Now What?
It was predicted that the Christian rapture would happen on September 23 or 24, 2025. Well, I am confident that Jesus knows me and has saved me, and I’m still here to write this. I even checked on Facebook to make sure I wasn’t left behind. I gave it a few extra days so I…

Theology Thursday: Apologetics and Creation Part 1
The first eleven chapters in the Bible are my favorite. As someone who questioned their veracity before I started following Jesus, I understand there are some difficult things in these chapters. When we read these chapters, we read them like 21st century Americans obsessed with particular orders of events and the scientific method—things that the…

The Problem of Pain: Perfect Paradox
God is perfect, at least that’s what you claim. Tell me how a perfect God can create anything imperfect. Yet, according to your holy book, the very prize of God’s creation fails. The most important of God’s works is also the most depraved and the cause of all suffering in the world. People are selfish.…

Thinking Biblically About the Alien, Man-Made Politics Aside
People always assume their agendas are correct and are quick to accuse people who don’t agree with them as being completely godless. Not many people today really try to understand someone else’s position. They simply draw caricatures and criticize those caricatures in ways that don’t actually help anyone. They only accomplish the heightening of other’s…

The Wondrous Position of the Woman: The Unburdened Implications of Genesis 2 In Apologetics
Genesis 1-11 is not a scientific account like we often treat it today. Neither is it an etiology like other Ancient Near East texts. Moses is not trying to tell Israel how the world came to be. He is trying to convey to Israel why God chose them and freed them from slavery. Moses answered…
