As you likely know, Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

In this episode I give a little tribute as I recall how I discovered what happened and how it affected me.

Seeing the sheer number of bloodthirsty banshees on the legacy media and on social media callously celebrating Charlie Kirk's violent and untimely death is indeed disturbing.

I believe this tragedy could be the catalyst for a long overdue revival ...

After my coworker more than once mocked lawns as a useless product of European colonialism, and after I recently saw a meme online blaming lawns for people starving, I figured I should tackle this topic.

There is a recent anti-lawn movement in America. Backed by socialism and identity politics, it claims you should feel guilty about mowing and watering your grass carpet for barbecues and yard games. You're harming the environment an...

Dr. Owen Anderson, Head Pastor of Christ the King Reformed Church and professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University joins me to talk about his latest book Samson: a Biblical Hero.

We have been taught in sermons and Sunday School to treat Samson as just a deeply flawed and naive man full of lust and ego. Dr. Anderson explains that, despite Samson's imperfections, we may be reading between the lines to accu...

I got an unexpected magazine subscription at work. After taking care of business, I noticed an article entitled "How 'Business for Good' Went Bad." As I suspected, the article discussed the rise and decline of "stakeholder capitalism" more popularly called "woke capitalism."

Economic historians agree that what caused all the big corporations to "go woke" was a blueprint from the World Economic Forum after the housing market crash in...

This episode is part 17 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers Mosiah 15:1-9 and its clear teaching of modalism. These verses sound like something a Oneness Pentecostal might say.

A Christian leader recently confessed to writing anonymous posts criticizing fellow ministers. The worst part was lying about it for over two years.

Why did this happen when it doesn't seem to make sense?

We need to examine ourselves for pride. Pride is the dangerous original sin that can make you do strange things to hold onto the things you hold dear for the wrong reasons. Pride leads to other sins and covering them up like lying a...

My wife Chelsea returns to Truthspresso and our oldest son joins us to chat about Colorado's radical gender bill that has provoked national attention.

HB25-1312, also known as the "Kelly Loving Act," seeks to transform society to "protect" "rights" for people who identify as a gender contrary to their birth certificate.

The original version of the bill sought to bias courts to grant custody to children to whomever would "affirm" alte...
