State of the Bible: Christianity less relevant than ever

In recent news, the American Bible Society (ABS) released its “State of the Bible” report, which gauges how relevant Christianity is to Americans.

Evangelicals alarmed at Catholic evangelization of their flocks

For years now, I’ve suspected that Catholic evangelists have been focused on hardline evangelicals. Recently, some hardline evangelicals began noticing that too. Today, let’s explore how Catholics are targeting this mission field—and more importantly, why. (This post first went live on Patreon on 3/28/2025. Its audio ‘cast lives there too Read more

SBC leaders are done pretending to care about sex abuse

The Southern Baptist Convention, or SBC, has known about their entrenched sex abuse problem for at least a few decades now. Everyone else found out about it in 2019 with ‘Abuse of Faith.’ Since then, however, SBC leaders have done virtually nothing to reform their denomination. The SBC’s biggest names Read more

Lies for Jesus abound in reporting Southern Baptist decline

What evangelicals are getting wrong about ‘negative world’

Last year, we briefly touched on the concept of ‘negative world’ in Christianity. It’s the idea that modern American/Western society now feels hostile toward Christianity rather than neutral or even positive toward it.

Anglican Church continues to struggle with its leaders’ hypocrisy

Recently, we discussed an ongoing scandal within the UK’s Anglican Church (also called the Church of England). Its highest-ranking clergyman, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, had to resign after everyone discovered he’d egregiously mishandled sex abuse complaints and shielded a particularly-serious abuser from consequences for years.
