The Discernment Crisis Facing Christians Today with Pastor Ryan Bates
What happens when Christians spend more time chasing hidden knowledge than pursuing biblical wisdom?
In this episode, I sit down with my son-in-law, Pastor Ryan Bates, to tackle one of the greatest challenges facing the Church today: discernment. From conspiracy theories and AI to confirmation bias and the lure of "secret knowledge," we discuss why so many believers are being pulled away from the clear truth of God's Word.
How do we recognize deception without becoming cynical? How do we pursue truth without sacrificing humility or unity? And in a world overflowing with information, how...

This Memorial Day, I’m reflecting on the sacrifice that built this country and the cultural chaos threatening the next generation.

It requires virtue, discipline, gratitude, and parents who are willing to lead. Let’s talk about what happens when families stop discipling their children and why it’s time for moms and dads to step back into courageous leadership.
