Let’s Not Let Rioters Destroy The Movement
Americans were rightly outraged and disgusted by what took place in Minneapolis. We saw George Floyd being murdered by a police officer without cause. This kind of police brutality is nothing new to our nation. But the public’s patience with this kind of treatment is gone; the whole country is demanding better from our police […]

What Kanye’s Faith Means For Our Culture
Kanye’s new album, Jesus Is King, has been out for some time now. I wanted to time this article right. I didn’t want to publish this when the album had just dropped, and I didn’t want to wait too long to where the album was completely out of sight out of mind for a lot […]

Sure there may be higher rates of gun ownership in certain regions, but gun owners are literally everywhere. Let’s look at how and why guns are such […]

The Case For Legalizing Drugs
As the country begins legalizing marijuana state by state, it’s a good time to start talking about the possibility of legalizing other drugs. While most Americans may support the legalization of marijuana, they’re still weary of other drugs.

Why Are Planes Going Missing?
It’s 2015 now, but 2014 was the year of missing planes. And it seems odd that we are still unable to find a missing plane nowadays. With all of our technology–namely satellites, drones and radar–we’ve still been incapable of finding two passenger jets that went missing last year. On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight 370 […]

For me, it’s pretty difficult to find good “Christian Music” and my short list below reflects that. Each of the artists I’ve chosen are […]

Gun violence in America
The frequency at which mass shootings in this country occur is startling. I think anyone would agree that something needs to change. However, gun-control advocates are misleading the public on several key facts and in some cases, straight out lying. Everytown for Gun Safety, the organization backed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, […]
