There’s been lots of talk among Christians about the “He Gets Us” ad during Sunday’s Super Bowl. Watching the 60-second commercial unfold, it struck me for the most part as just another fluffy feel-good McJesus pitch as it depicted people practicing servitude by washing their neighbor’s feet. But wait a minute — washing someone’s feet […]
If nothing else the “He Gets Us” ad from the Super Bowl accomplished one thing: It got people talking. Perhaps the noisiest group is the one already most acquainted with the Savior — Christians themselves. (Yes, yes I know many of you are thinking “yeah, they don’t act like they know Him.” Fair enough, but […]
“Murder in the Cathedral” is the name of a play based on the same incident that inspired the movie “Becket.” In a very succinct nutshell: Thomas Becket was the childhood friend of the future king of England, Henry II. Under Henry, Becket was appointed as chancellor. He later became the Archbishop of Canterbury. This […]
Joe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, and Aaron Rodgers, current quarterback for the New York Jets, shared a very vibrant conversation on an episode last week. They covered a lot of ground. This included the need for Jesus to return to the earth. Rogan identified the lack of order that secular society […]
I found plenty to be excited about at Sunday night’s Super Bowl. It was a back-and-forth game rather than a one-sided blowout, and former Georgia Bulldog Mecole Hardman caught the game-winning touchdown. The halftime show was a triumph, too.

When I was in choir in high school, we sang a song called “Everything Must Change.” It was a beautiful melody, but the subject matter — which you can guess from the title — was a downer. I’m sure Mr. Daniell, our choir director, who is still a friend of mine, wasn’t happy with […]
This morning’s Gospel reading is Mark 1:40–45: A leper came to Jesus and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” The leprosy left him immediately, and he […]
From William Wallace to the 18th-century Jacobites, Scotland has a long tradition of rebellion against tyrants. Small wonder, therefore, that some Scottish concertgoers should despise an establishment tool and wannabe dictator like President Joe Biden. In a 40-second clip posted Thursday to the social media platform X, the audience at an Oliver Anthony concert in […]
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud put his faith first yet again after a historic win off the football field. On Thursday, Stroud was named The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year at the 2023 NFL Honors in Las Vegas, becoming the first Texans signal-caller to take home the trophy. Despite the fact the team […]
Sunday evening on the social media platform X, pop-music megastar Taylor Swift posted an image of the cover for her upcoming album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Unsurprisingly, in light of Swift’s gargantuan cultural influence at the moment, her post had more than 85 million views as of early Tuesday afternoon, ET. The album cover features […]
