Evangelicals & Agency vs Systemic Racism: The Primary Driver of Cultural Outcomes
The Dominant Narrative Author's note: I will be discussing this topic tomorrow evening, Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 7 PM CST: https://youtube.com/live/jLPr25FfDhw?feature=share In modern discourse, one explanation dominates nearly every conversation regarding disparities in American society: systemic racism. From education gaps to crime rates to economic inequality, the prevailing claim is that systems—past and present—are the primary drivers of negative outcomes. This fram

Evangelicals & The Abortion Illusion: When Even Abortion Advocates Admit the Truth
For decades, the abortion debate in America has been framed as a dispute over “choice,” “rights,” and “healthcare.” But beneath the slogans and carefully constructed language lies a reality that even some of the most prominent advocates of abortion have admitted.

Evangelicals & Political Idolatry: Trump’s AI Image and a Necessary Biblical
A recent image circulating online — reportedly posted on Truth Social by Donald Trump — has ignited strong reactions across political and religious communities. It is precisely why I, in good conscience, could not, did not, and would not cast a ballot for Donald J. Trump. I must quickly add that this in no way implies I voted for the deplorable and morally reprehensible option of casting a ballot for Kamala Harris.

Evangelicals & the Negro Church: Is the Negro Church Abandoning Scripture? Evangelicals Confront Cultural Pressure
The Negro Church has historically served as a pillar of spiritual conviction, community leadership, and moral clarity in American society.

Evangelicals response to President Removing Military Commanders – Historical Precedent
I understand why so many express Negro Fatigue. My FB feed, as well as my text thread, is full of Woke Negroes losing their collective minds because the Trump administration has removed Negro senior leaders, especially the latest to hit the news: Major General William Green Jr.
All this being done despite this type of action being taken by almost all POTUS, including the last few. Recent criticism of the Trump administration for removing several military officers has spark

Evangelicals Compromise Homosexuality: When Loved Ones Come Out as Gay
When Relationships Challenge Conviction Father and daughter enjoying one another's company One of the most powerful forces shaping modern moral beliefs is personal relationships . This issue is never abstract or academic. I, probably like you, have homosexual family members and friends. For many Evangelicals, the issue of homosexuality becomes intensely personal when a son, daughter, sibling, or close friend announces that they identify as gay. I submit that you better make u

Evangelical Faith and Party Conflict Karen Whitsett Decision to leave Democratic Party
A Michigan Democratic lawmaker recently made a statement that has reverberated across political and religious circle and it is so refreshing that in light of the all the gloom and doom that Jesus Christ is still in the saving business. While I do not expect masses from the Negro community to come to faith, I am supremely confident that God will always graciously save a remnant of faithful people from every tribe and kindred.

Evangelicals & African American Political Agency: The Harris Faulkner Panel and the Question of Cultural Permission
Political agency assumes something fundamental: Individuals possess the moral and intellectual capacity to reach conclusions independently of collective pressure.
Yet modern discourse increasingly treats political deviation not merely as disagreement but as disqualification.
When African Americans express viewpoints outside assumed ideological boundaries, criticism frequently shifts from argumentation to delegitimization.
The implication becomes clear:

Kim Burrell Don Lemon Controversy: Evangelicals, Cultural Pressure, and Public Theology
The Kim Burrell Don Lemon Controversy and the Question of Public Theology Image of Kim Burrell I want to make it explicitly clear at the onset, which is beyond the scope of today's blog post, that Kim Burrell was in no way preaching a sermon in any shape, form, or fashion. God's Word is explicitly clear on the matter. Women can not preach, teach, or attempt to usurp authority in God's place of worship and the home. I would further submit as a minority report that women are no

Evangelicals & Reformation vs Revolution: Christianity’s Answer to Moral Injustice
The debate between Evangelical Christian Reformation and Revolution is not merely political but deeply theological, addressing whether lasting justice arises through spiritual transformation or societal upheaval. The iconic but heretical Martin Luther King advocated for the latter, while faithful men like Chad O. Jackson and I hold the line and proclaim Jesus Christ and His saving Gospel as the only elixir that remedies the human soul.

Evangelicals & The Bigotry of Low Expectations: Gavin Newsom and Political Paternalism
I do not know whom I find more repulsive, Newsom or Dickens, but what I do know is that no self-respecting Person of Color would find a Caucasian attempting to use medicorce academic performance as a touch point of relatability with People of Color to be a laughing matter. One of my favorite expressions is, "Don't piss down my leg and tell me it is raining."
I know when I am being insulted, and Newsom, believing he was expressing solidarity with People of Color

Evangelicals & Pro Life and Death Penalty: Category Confusion in the Movement
For decades, the Pro-Life movement has centered its moral argument on the protection of innocent human life. The abortion debate is not about all killing in every category. It is about the unjust taking of innocent life. So the real question is this: Does Scripture treat abortion and capital punishment as morally identical? It does not.
