When Christianity Stops Believing in Jesus
This is the third and final post in a short series reflecting on formation, power, and the public witness of the church. In the first post, I explored how concern for culture became an economy of outrage. In the second, I reflected on how a tradition shaped by revival and conversion drifted toward control and…

Seeing Their Faith – Ep. 03 | Walking Away Disappointed
Episode 3: Walking Away Disappointed In Luke 24, two disciples are walking away from Jerusalem. Away from the crucifixion. Away from shattered expectations. Away from the story they thought would end differently. They had hoped Jesus was the one. Instead, they are leaving disappointed. In this episode of Seeing Their Faith, we step onto the…

The Gospel That Doesn’t Need Changed Hearts
This is the second post in a short series reflecting on formation, power, and the witness of the church in this moment. In the first post, “When Moral Concern Becomes Clickbait,” I explored how moral concern within American Christianity was slowly reshaped by platforms and systems that thrive on fear and outrage, and how that kind…

When Moral Concern Becomes Clickbait
At its very heart, the Kingdom of God is defined by compassion. Jesus is constantly described in the Gospels as being “moved with compassion.” He heals the sick, feeds the hungry, touches lepers, and weeps with the grieving.

The Cost of Compassion
Both the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the world understand that compassion comes with a cost. But only one of the kingdoms say its worth it.

Would You Choose God’s Kingdom?
At its very heart, the Kingdom of God is defined by compassion. Jesus is constantly described in the Gospels as being “moved with compassion.” He heals the sick, feeds the hungry, touches lepers, and weeps with the grieving. These are not side ministries to His message; they are the embodiment of the Kingdom breaking in.…

“You Cannot Serve Two Masters”: Money as a Competing Kingdom
You cannot serve both God and mammon. Jesus didn’t say that as a warning about wealth—He said it as a confrontation with a competing kingdom. Mammon isn’t just money; it’s a system of trust, values, and control. And it demands loyalty. In a culture shaped by capitalism and self-preservation, the Church must ask hard questions:…
