A non-Jew experiences anti-Semitism

Ever since the video about my book Divergence came out, I have been on the receiving end of straight-up anti-Jewish racism. And here’s the kicker: I’m not even Jewish. So I put out a video in response in which I talk about what anti-Semitism really is, and why racism is un-Christlike. This is an important […]

The Easter Date Controversy

There is a fascinating history behind the modern controversy regarding the date on which Christians ought to celebrate Easter. And it’s not as black-and-white as you might think.

Augustine: A Personal & Theological Reflection

I have now had a few weeks to let my recent weekend intensive class (emphasis on intense) and its related reading and writing assignments simmer in my brain. It turned out to be a providentially-timed class for me, one that spoke to both my mind and heart. Augustine’s impact on me was equal parts intellectual […]

Oh, Me of Little Faith

I often focus so intently on the path in front of me that I lose sight of the bigger picture. This morning, however, I had occasion to reflect on the past few years of my life. I was astounded to see how God has been moving in ways I couldn’t have foreseen and hadn’t noticed […]

Christ, Culture, & Coffee

How does the Old Testament Law relate to New Testament believers? Which of the 613 laws in the Torah should Christians observe? What does it mean that Jesus fulfilled the Law, but didn’t abolish it? In this episode of the Christ, Culture, & Coffee podcast, I join hosts Robby and Tyler for an engaging chat […]

The following sensitivity statement is offered in an effort to provide context and balance on a sensitive subject which I write about from time to time.
