John Cooper Declares War on Deconstruction! #21
John Cooper, the lead singer of Christian band Skillet, recently said that Christians need to wage war on deconstruction. He says deconstruction is a false religion. Is John Cooper right about deconstruction? Also The Gospel Coalition (TGC) recently published an article from Alisa Childers on deconstruction. I have some thoughts, but more importantly I'd like to hear your thoughts on deconstruction.

Is the Freedom Convoy Christian? #20
Is protesting biblical? So many people are watching the truck convoy here in Canada and wondering whether it is a Christian movement or not. Today I want to give some insights into what is happening in Canada and specifically the Christian church here in Canada. There's a lot that went into this movement that needs to be discussed including Henry Hildebrandt and his cult's involvement.

The Art of Christian Disagreement #18
The Gospel Coalition takes aim at Christian YouTubers. Denny Burk continues to fight with Beth Allison Barr, Kristin Kobes Du Mez, among others. Thabiti Anyabwile says Owen Strachan needs to keep his "name out of your mouth." And lastly, James Coates calls TGC "useless." The fights go on and on. Can Christians disagree and still be loving? There's a lot of disagreement happening on secondary issues. Is it necessary? Or have some Christians lost their way in being united despite some disagreements?

Is Peter the Rock of the Church #12
Is Peter the rock of the church? Or is Jesus the rock? Maybe Peter's confession? These three views will be examined and we'll talk about Roman Catholic teachings on Matthew 16 and whether they accord with all of Scripture.
