This is my chat through an essay I published on Patreon in May 2025 based upon an article I wrote a which had previously been published on Substack.

In the original essay, I reflect on the growing confusion of our times—where language is manipulated, institutions are distrusted, and meaning is obscured.

But instead of retreating into cynicism or chaos, I position the Christian response as a call for a return to reality grounded in truth. Drawing on biblical reference s and 20th-century German Christian philosopher Josef Pieper, to explore how clarity in thought, speech, and action becomes an act of spiritual resistance in a disoriented world.

The essay was to be a call for Christians to live truthfully, love what is good, and re-anchor our lives in the unshakable reality of God’s Word. Whether confronting false narratives or rebuilding broken systems, we are invited to resist the drift into abstraction and recommit to lives shaped by virtue, sacrifice, and the hope of Christ’s Kingdom. Listen in for a timely challenge to live with courage, integrity, and unwavering trust in God’s truth.
