Philosophy Professor Peter Boghossian notoriously claimed that “faith is a cognitive sickness that’s been turned into a moral virtue.” He went on to say that every class is an opportunity to help students lose their faith. When the instructors our kids sit under in higher education come in with an agenda like that, Gen Z’s sharp exodus from the faith […]

 Ryan Bomberger has been told that he should have never been born, that he doesn’t deserve to live. Repeatedly. By people with lots of letters after their names.  Why? Because Ryan was conceived in rape. Less than 1% of pregnancies begin in the violent act of rape. Yet despite this extremely uncommon occurrence, the pro-choice narrative […]

The use of preferred pronouns has become ubiquitous among Gen Zers and beyond in our culture. I was just at my daughter’s student orientation to a very WOKE university, and every single student leader introduced themselves by using their name, their major, and their preferred pronouns. More on that in a future episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD…  But I’m sure you […]

There is a truth to glean from a Pennsylvania field that can save the world. And we will miss it… if we don’t turn our eyes to see and our ears to hear. A lot of us are taking stock of where our country is right now. Our heads are spinning as we have watched […]

There is a truth to glean from a Pennsylvania field that can save the world. And we will miss it… if we don’t turn our eyes to see and our ears to hear. A lot of us are taking stock of where our country is right now. Our heads are spinning as we have watched these recent heartbreaking events unfold. […]

 A week ago, I heard multiple political commentators predict that an assignation attempt was imminent with the man poised to receive the Republican nomination for President of the United States. Indeed, for many months, our country has felt like a powder keg ready to ignite. That keg exploded last Saturday. We all watched in horror as a political rally ended with a […]

Trying to find wholesome entertainment can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. As Christians, the most we usually hope for is entertainment that doesn’t undermine what we believe. But finding entertainment that actually reinforces Biblical values while wrestling through tough issues, does that even exist? It does. In the latest episode of  CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I am […]

As parents, we spend a lot of time and energy ensuring that our kids are safe in their physical spaces. We put up safeguards around our homes. We go to great lengths to live in safe neighborhoods and send our kids to safe schools. But what about our kids’ digital spaces?  The threats for our children are as significant in cyberspace as they are in their physical space.  Kristen Jenson, founder of Defend Young […]

Few conversations make parents fill more ill-equipped and tongue-tied than discussing the topic of pornography with our kids. How do we even broach the subject? My  guest in the Episode 107 of  CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD has created a book series that does all of the hard work for us. Kristen Jenson is the #1 best-selling author of the Good Pictures Bad Pictures series of […]

Media is bombarding our children at every turn and at the same time the generation gap is widening. I know you’ve felt the ever-broadening chasm. I sure have. In Episode 105 of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I’m joined by Dr. Walt Mueller, founder and president of the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding for a vitally important conversation on the state of kids’ entertainment. Walt specializes in understanding […]
