The Trails Church Disfellowships an H-1B Heretic
10/08/2025

Daniel Keene, a North Texas small-business owner of Boundaries Coffee, faced intense backlash after a viral X post (now deleted) where he filmed an Indian block party in his suburb and vented frustration over demographic changes, declaring, “We have to cancel the H-1Bs. I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India.”

The situation escalated at The Trails Church, where Keene was a member. Elders summoned him and his eight-months-pregnant wife for a multi-hour interrogation, initially over the "uncharitable" post but pivoting to demand repentance for his H-1B stance itself. They scrutinized three year...

Reclaiming Power: The Right's Institutional Challenge
09/25/2025

The left has controlled cultural institutions like universities, media, and think tanks for over a century. Meanwhile, the right, which values tradition and hierarchy, lacks comparable institutional mechanisms and relies on "horizontal moves" by personalities like entertainers or outsiders, such as Donald Trump.


The left's influence, like a virus, radicalizes youth and undermines traditional structures like family, contributing to a civilizational decline, as evidenced by polls showing declining interest in marriage among Gen Z, particularly women.


Without a robust training ground for leaders, the right resorts to populist platforms...


News Roundup: Erica Kirk's Forgiveness, Michael Fosters PCA Crusade, & is Christ Done with America?
09/23/2025

The funeral for Charlie Kirk was yesterday. Many Christians were pleasantly surprised to hear how many times the name of Jesus was mentioned and the gospel was proclaimed. Is something happening on a grander scale?


There were controversies generated from some of the speeches including a debate over what forgiveness is and when it is appropriate. Also, another debate on whether or not Tucker Carlson's comments were "antisemitic."


Michael Foster's been spotlighting doctrinal drift in the PCA and TGC lurches to the Right on Transgenderism. All this and more!<...

Charlie Kirk on Israel and Religion
09/19/2025

Since Charlie Kirk's assassination, tributes highlight his diverse friendships. Known for content creation, debates, and relationship-building, controversies now surround his views on Israel.


Was he pro-Israel? Josh Hammer recalls a pre-assassination Zoom call discussing anti-Israel campus questions, while Benjamin Netanyahu cites a letter where Kirk wrote, "One of my greatest joys as a Christian is advocating for Israel."


Or anti-Israel? Marjorie Taylor Greene shared a text where Kirk avoided an AIPAC debate, Tucker Carlson noted his criticism of Netanyahu and Gaza, and Candace Owens mentioned his censorship concerns.Kirk...


Understanding Intellectual Anti-Semitism
09/18/2025

Jon Harris and Hussein Abubakar Mansour discuss the historical and intellectual origins of anti-Semitism, focusing on its emergence as a modern ideology in 19th-century Europe. They explore how Enlightenment thinkers like Kant and Hegel framed Judaism as a barrier to universalist ideals, with Kant viewing it as heteronomous and Hegel associating it with societal division. This perspective culminated in Marx’s On the Jewish Question, where he equates Judaism with capitalism, advocating for humanity’s liberation from both.


They analyze how these ideas shaped intellectual anti-Semitism, influencing Marxist critical theory and nationalist movements. Hussein shar...

Was Charlie Kirk a Christian Martyr? Catholic? Killed by Israel?
09/16/2025

Jon addresses controversies surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, examining three questions: Was Kirk a Christian or political martyr? Were Israel or Jewish interests involved? Was he converting to Roman Catholicism? 


Kirk is framed as a political martyr, targeted for conservative stances on gender, marriage, and crime, increasingly tied to his evangelical faith post-2020. 


Evidence suggests the shooter, Tyler Robinson, acted on leftist ideologies, not foreign conspiracies, with no professional marksman traits. Claims of Israeli involvement lack evidence and are deemed implausible, given Kirk’s pro-Israel stance and the strategic folly...

What If My Pastor Didn't Address Charlie's Assassination Correctly?

What If My Pastor Didn't Address Charlie's Assassination Correctly?


Moral Clarity: A pastor swayed by media over scripture (e.g., focusing on George Floyd but silent on Charlie Kirk) may lack sound judgment. Consider finding a new church.


Application Matters: Apolitical pastors who avoid applying scripture to real-world grief (like Kirk’s murder) fail to shepherd effectively. Pastors should comfort and affirm clear moral lines.


Courageous Leadership: A pastor avoiding controversy out of fear or partisanship is a weak shepherd. Truth must be spoken bo...

The Anti-Federalists: Guardians of Liberty

Full video and PowerPoint: https://www.patreon.com/posts/138250030


In this episode of the Anglo-American Conservative Books Series, we dive into the Anti-Federalist Papers, a critical yet often overlooked voice in America’s founding.


The Anti-Federalists, including figures like Patrick Henry, George Clinton, and Elbridge Gerry, opposed the stronger central government proposed by the Constitution, advocating instead for decentralized power and individual liberties.


Often mislabeled, they were the true federalists, warning of the risks posed by a powerful federal government. Their prescient critiques led to...

What You Should Know About Christian Zionism
07/28/2025

Christian Zionism, a movement rooted in the belief that the Jewish people have a claim to their ancient homeland, has evolved significantly from its medieval origins through the Reformation, Puritan restorationism, and modern dispensationalism, culminating in robust support for the state of Israel, as seen in the 1948 establishment under David Ben-Gurion and bolstered by figures like Lord Shaftesbury, William Blackstone, and evangelicals such as Billy Graham and Jerry Falwell. Emerging from theological shifts like those in the Geneva Bible and spurred by geopolitical events such as the Balfour Declaration and the Six-Day War, the movement faced opposition from some...
