When popular comedians Rhett & Link announced they no longer had faith in Christ, the news sent ripples across Christian circles who have been following their work for decades. Before diving deep into their de-conversion story, Robert first looks at their story through the lens of Charles Taylor’s observations about our “secular age” and how unsurprising (and not uncommon) stories like their’s are in a post-modern world.

After Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s halftime show during the Super Bowl, a debate was sparked about cultural norms and morality within a world that’s trying to figure out what strong femininity looks like. On this week’s podcast, Robert endeavors to fairly present both sides of the argument, and then point us to a greater truth about God’s creation and our sanctification.

Western imperialism used to conquer and colonize other worlds; now it’s other worldviews. In this week’s episode, Robert discusses the militancy of Western progressive culture toward other cultures, particularly in the area of sexual ethics, and then offers the Kingdom of God as a culture able to affirm and critique every culture.

In the wake of the death of Kobe Bryant and eight others in a tragic helicopter crash, this week’s podcast spends a few minutes looking at the topic of death in order to share “glorious news” with our death-avoidant culture.

President Trump’s presence at the March for Life may have ramped up the publicity of the movement, but on this week’s podcast, Robert shares why the president may have done more harm than good, and offers a productive way forward for pro-life advocates.

After sharing a brief review of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” (no spoilers), Robert looks at the understandably ridiculous claim of the virgin birth of Jesus and how this miracle of Christmas gives us greater hope and joy than any other news this world can offer.

One of the most common questions asked about Christianity relates to the nature of evil: “If God exists, then why is there suffering in our world?” This week’s episode flips that question on its head in order to expand our understanding of the existence of evil, and shows how Christmas gives us hope in the midst of pain.

With socialist ideals gaining popularity in America, Robert returns from a trip to Belarus with observations on a culture formed by those very ideals. But his critique is not just reserved for the communism of Eastern Europe, but the consumerism of America as well.

We’re taking a break from our series on the internet to talk about a topic that is on everyone’s mind: the Kentucky gubernatorial election between Governor Matt Bevin and Attorney General Andy Beshear. Robert looks at why Governor Bevin lost the election, and the lesson we should all learn about the importance of love above all other virtues.

What are we to make of socialism’s rising popularity in our nation? Robert sees it as a rebuke to our greedy and excessive culture and challenges us to reimagine capitalism’s unrivaled potential to serve the common good.
