I never thought I would be defending Pastor Greg Laurie but some of you are getting completely out of hand and somebody needs to say something. Let me start with the basic facts that a...
The Uncommon Man
Physical presence is not the same as fatherhood. A man can sleep under the same roof as his children every night of their lives and still be completely absent. Still be a stranger they share a last name with. Still be someone they tiptoe around instead of run to. I have watched it. A father...

Marriage has meant one thing for thousands of years across every culture, every religion, and every civilization that ever built something worth preserving. One man. One woman. A covenant that produces children, stabilizes communities, and reflects something God designed before governments existed. Then in the span of about a decade the most powerful institutions in...
Letters To Nobody
Something shifted in me the day I realized that some arguments are not actually arguments. They are scripts. Written before you arrived. With a role already assigned to you that has nothing to do with who you actually are or what you actually said. You walked into a conversation that was already finished. You just...
The Uncommon Man
I have met men who were completely different people depending on the room. At church, humble and soft-spoken. At work, sharp and decisive. At home, checked out and unavailable. Around their boys, loud and reckless. Each version carefully adjusted for the audience. It is exhausting to watch. I can only imagine how exhausting it is...
You can negotiate with the left on almost anything. Tax rates. Climate policy. Immigration numbers. Healthcare premiums. There is always a version of the conversation that sounds like compromise is possible. That sounds like reasonable people can find middle ground. Then you touch abortion and the room changes entirely. Suddenly there is no middle ground....
Letters To Nobody
I want to talk about reality television for a minute. Not as entertainment. As education. Because whether people realize it or not, these shows have been teaching a generation how to handle conflict. And the lesson is devastating. The lesson is this. When you have a problem with someone you do not sit down and...
The Writing Life
The single most important decision a series writer makes is not plot. It is architecture. The plot is what happens. The architecture is the world the plot happens inside. And if the architecture is not built to hold weight — if the rules are not consistent, if the internal logic collapses under pressure, if the...
The Uncommon Man
Everybody wants to talk about headship until it is time to actually carry it. Leading a house is not a title. It is not a position that comes with a crown and automatic respect. It is weight. Daily, unglamorous, nobody-is-clapping weight. It means you are the first one accountable when things go wrong. Not the...
Letters To Nobody
There is a specific kind of conversation that leaves you feeling like you walked into a room you did not recognize by the time you walked out. You went in trying to explain something. Something honest. Something you chose your words for carefully. You kept your tone soft. You removed the edge from your voice...
Letters To Nobody
I noticed something a long time ago in arguments that took me a while to put into words. Most people in a disagreement are not actually listening. They are waiting. There is a difference. Listening means you are taking in what the other person is saying and letting it land before you respond. Waiting means...
