“There is a name which is not heard in the world: It is the name that the Father gave the Son; it is above everything, it expresses the Father. The Son wouldn’t have become the Father unless he had taken the name of the Father.

God Does Extraordinary Things Through Ordinary People

In what we call “The Real World,” what counts most is power, strength, intelligence, and self-confidence. Our society teaches us that to succeed, we must be powerful, confident, and in control. Yet, there’s a fascinating concept found in one of the Apostle Paul’s epistles that presents an entirely different perspective—one that turns those values upside down. It’s the paradox of the Kingdom of God and we can summarize what Paul says like this: True strength is found in weakness, and... Read more

What Bernie and Trump Have In Common

Last updated on: March 24, 2025 at 6:42 pm By Keith Giles

On the surface, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump couldn’t be more different—one is a self-described democratic socialist advocating for wealth redistribution, while the other is a billionaire real estate mogul pushing nationalist populism. And yet, there’s a surprising overlap in their base. Why is that? Let’s dig in. The Common Thread: Economic Frustration and Betrayal The simplest explanation? Both Bernie and Trump speak to people who feel betrayed by the system. Working-class Americans—whether they’re factory workers in the Rust... Read more

Why Progressives Need to Learn Empathy for Conservatives

Last updated on: March 20, 2025 at 10:04 pm By Keith Giles

Some of you are probably already rolling your eyes and thinking, “Why should I have empathy for people who vote against my rights, believe crazy conspiracies and only watch Fox News?” I hear you. But stick with me for a minute, because this might be more important than you think. The Empathy Problem Goes Both Ways We’ve all heard the argument that conservatives lack empathy for the poor, the immigrant, the LGBTQ+ community, or anyone who doesn’t fit their worldview....

Why the Gospel of Judas Is Relevant Today

Last updated on: March 12, 2025 at 4:33 pm By Keith Giles

0 Comments

The Gospel of Judas, a second-century Gnostic text, presents a provocative reimagining of the relationship between Jesus and his disciples. This text, lost for centuries and rediscovered in modern times, challenges the traditional narrative by portraying Judas Iscariot as the favored disciple, entrusted with a divine mission rather than as a traitor. Now, before you start to yell, “HERESY!”, let’s take a step back and talk about what this author is doing. He’s NOT trying to trick you into thinking... Read more
