This week a podcast title caught my eye because it had the word “shame” in it. We don’t see the concept of shame discussed much any longer. In the past, people would say, “Have you no shame?” and “You should be ashamed of yourself.” When was the last time you heard someone say that or …

As we progress through this war of the Fourth Turning, it is inevitable that weariness will set in. I’ve been experiencing it myself during these past few weeks.

We are in all likelihood now in the most intense period of The Fourth Turning. Different people place the climax of the turning in 2020, 2025, or even 2028. My guess is it is somewhere in the 2022-2025 timeframe, but we won’t know for sure until we can look back at the entire turning. Whenever …

Choose your words carefully because you will live them out. We live in a time in which people constantly self-censor their speech. I find it profoundly sad to watch people on YouTube use code words for things like covid, Ivermectin, vaccination, etc. Their ability to post on CensorTube and make a living is directly tied …

This year was necessary if we want to live in a better world For most people, 2021 will go down as a difficult year. But rather than recount the difficulties each one of us faced to varying degrees, I want to focus on the necessity of the year. Most people reading this post will say …

Today I would like to tackle the question of should Christians use the Enneagram. I think I was formally introduced to the Enneagram when I received an advanced review copy of Alice Fryling’s book Mirror for the Soul: A Christian Guide to the Enneagram from InterVarsity Press. I had already discerned something was increasingly off …
