I read Aaron Renn’s article recently about the positive, neutral, and negative world Christians are in, and it made me reassess and adjust my thinking about how to approach my Youtube and Substack channels. The reality is that Christians, and I am one, have to really go back to square one and engage in a neutral stance and present our faith objectively. That way, people won’t discount any historical Christian culture and assumptions, and can assess Christianity correctly.This is my first step as I continue my journey of sharing my thoughts and opinions. Boy I’ve got work to do! Get full access to What Matters Most at whatmattersmosttoday.substack.com/subscribe

When I read about deconstruction, it really is kind of depressing because so many Christians are wholesale just tossing out their entire worldview. It’s also sad to me because, while they may have grown up in the faith or really never did too much investigating to see if what they believed is true, they really have landed on the one solid foundation that explains with a high degree of probability how the world works.And whether it’s because they’ve caught this deconstruction fad, or they’ve had doubts that have never been fully answered clearly within a Christian faith framework, they’re now attracted by the pull of ex-Christians leading them away.Lecrae’s video shows that there isn’t just one outcome when you deconstruct, and that it’s possible to re-construct a faith as well. A quick one, with just two short clips and my response. Get full access to What Matters Most at whatmattersmosttoday.substack.com/subscribe

I love the church, it is God’s primary means of creating positive change in the world. But, why is it creating so much hate and anger against it? Well, that’s what I’ll be talking about today, and the TL;DR version is, it won’t make it if it doesn’t change. Here’s the video version.

This is a short video, so I decided to post it here. Yeah, that one Sunday where I got triggered by the institutional definition of “serving” God at church.Honestly, it’s annoying and reinforced to me that my time in the institutional church ecosystem is now done. I’d rather watch a good sermon on YouTube instead of having to go through the motions of worshiping in such a stale and dead man-centered church system.I sound triggered, don’t I? Heh.

I’ve been quite behind due to the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, so apologies for the late updates. For those who prefer to watch, the video is here.I think I’ll keep the posts on Substack to written and audio with transcripts for organizational purposes. Plus, I really could use more views on the video side on YouTube, so I hope you’ll forgive me for this. :) Get full access to What Matters Most at whatmattersmosttoday.substack.com/subscribe

The world is losing trust in everything, especially in all the institutions that used to be trusted. And that includes the church. This episode is simply one Christian's apology for the bad behavior of the Christian community, and acknowledges real issues that make it hard for non-Christians and those outside the faith to trust the church.However, there is still a fundamental truth that we all need to answer, and that is the heart of the issue that's discussed on this podcast.
