TPRU: When the Armor doesn’t fit…
When the Armor Doesn’t Fit David didn’t refuse Saul’s armor because it was heavy. He refused it because it hadn’t saved him before. This episode is about the battles no one applauds — the private fights where trust in God is forged long before anything goes public. The lion. The bear. The moments where faith… Continue reading

It’s time, Gen-X
In May of 1961, Kennedy threw a match into the dark and told a nation to do the impossible: land a man on the moon and bring him home alive. We didn’t have the tools yet. That didn’t matter. What mattered was that people moved. Nobody waited to feel ready. Nobody asked if it was… Continue reading

The Integrity of His Intentions
We all know the Lord’s Prayer, right? Jesus begins with, “Our Father…” Not a Father. Not the Father. Our Father — personal, intimate, direct. The whole force of the prayer starts with belonging.

Luxury and Selfishness Have Defined the American Church Principle Luxury has become our liturgy. Selfishness, our creed.

That’s not revival; that’s blasphemy with a sound system. And it demands more than debate. ⸻ Stand-Out Truth: You Don’t Argue With Counterfeit Fire — You Confront It If this were an honest disagreement… Continue reading

When the Poor Rise, the Altars Fall
Revolution doesn’t start in a think tank — it starts in a grocery line when the card runs dry. It starts in a break room where somebody whispers I can’t do this anymore. It starts when the people who built the machine realize they’ll never be allowed to own it. France had its Third Estate,… Continue reading

The Lies of the Right
In 2008–2009, I was a small-town pastor. I’d grown accustomed to watching Fox News because they seemed friendly to what we called “normal” Christian values. But when Obama was elected, Fox started screaming about the “Socialist threat” and the “godless Muslim in the White House.” I began tuning in to Glenn Beck, who claimed to… Continue reading

The Church Forgot Its Base
The working class once formed the living backbone of the church — farmers, laborers, single mothers, service workers, the people who built and maintained the world. But over time, the establishment church traded solidarity for spectacle. It moved from the neighborhood to the suburb, from the table to the stage, from the people to the… Continue reading
