Fully divine and fully human. That combination makes Jesus Christ the most significant Person in history (John 1:14). Jesus’ work on the cross and subsequent resurrection proved He was much more than a moral teacher. He not only gave the perfect example of how God wants us to live, but He also accomplished what we could … [Read more...]
“All Christians are Hypocrites”, and Why I’m Not Religious Anymore
Religion and the internet. Name a more controversial duo. I was browsing one of my favorite subreddits yesterday when I was reminded of that troublesome pairing. There was a post describing a young man’s difficult choice and how his religion led him to make it. He was a fellow Christian whose stance I agreed with, but I … [Read more...]
8 Timeless Lessons Re-Learned from My Bout with COVID-19 (And from the Pandemic as a Whole)
Yep, I got it too. Earlier this year, I tested positive for the omicron variant of COVID-19. I’ve long since recovered though, and dare I say it, the world finally has too. Our new normal feels a lot more like the old one these days. Heck, I’ve even shed the mask I was forced to wear at my day job the last two … [Read more...]
5 Observations of an Undercover Bible Teacher That Will Improve Your Approach to Evangelism
Picture James Bond without the British ties, the intricate gadgets, and the promiscuous lifestyle. Instead of a license to kill, he has qualifications to teach.

The Biblical View of Homosexuality (And How It Points Us All to the Good News)
I’ve avoided writing this one for quite some time. Homosexuality is just one of those touchy subjects many Christians like myself don’t like to address.

Remembering God’s Love: 5 Personal Stories of God’s Providence That Inspire Me Each Day
So it’s no secret that I’ve been in a slump lately. I haven’t posted here in over two months, and that’s not like me. What makes matters worse is that the whole world is recovering from its own slump in ways I haven’t proved capable. COVID’s being left in the past, restrictions worldwide are loosening, and life in general … [Read more...]
How to Evaluate Pastors and Bible Teachers (6 Things the Best Teachers Always Do)
Choosing a pastor is one of the most important things every Christian will do. Few people have as much spiritual influence as our pastor, so choosing wisely is a must.

A 2021 HFE Update and 5 of My Favorite Articles From 2020
Yes, I’m alive. I’m exhausted, but I’m still alive. 2020 did a number on me, man. And 2020 part 2 isn’t being much kinder. But anyway, let me stop with the negativity. I wrote this to give an update, not to complain. First, I apologize for the lack of content lately. My production was in a good spot early last year, … [Read more...]
Seeds Before Fruit: Explaining the Necessity of Regeneration and the Priority of the Gospel
One of the telltale signs of biblical ignorance is over-spiritualizing the Bible. We humans have a hard time admitting our faults, so when we face an experience we don’t understand, it’s quickly labeled as luck, destiny, or some spiritual phenomenon. It’s all a mystery that can’t be learned or studied. And who are we to … [Read more...]
Do Soulmates Exist? And What Does the Bible Say About Soulmates?
I recently got a question from a fellow Christian about soulmates. Despite reading my warnings about the danger of soulmate thinking, he still believed it, and it was mostly because of church teaching.
