What Religion Does Keanu Reeves Practice?

Last updated on: May 18, 2023 at 9:15 am By Jordan Hathcock

Keanu Reeves: a man with no place to rest his head. Maybe not (he is a wealthy actor), but fans swear he is “most excellent”. He is portrayed in the media as a man of the people. Riding on subways and giving up his seat up for others, the positive ways he treats women, going to random people’s weddings when asked, etc. This might not make him a religious or spiritual person on paper, but who gives a shit?

Christians and Politics

Last updated on: April 20, 2023 at 3:12 pm By Jordan Hathcock

The United States of America is no stranger to mixing politics with Christianity. Religion has always played a significant role in American politics, and politicians frequently invoke their faith to appeal to voters. However, in recent years, the connection between politics and Christianity has become increasingly fraught. This is evident in the examples of former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden, both of whom have used religion to further their political ambitions, with varying degrees of success....

A Saint Paddy’s Revolution

Last updated on: March 17, 2023 at 1:11 pm By Jordan Hathcock

Saint Paddy’s Day is here! Let’s grab some Guinness and have a cheer, oh my dear! Hot damn this is one of my favorite holidays. I Love the Celtic tradition and how the Irish get their day of celebration. The festival has become more of a cultural event today (thank God). People wearing green outfits, drinking beer, listening to some Flogging Molly and consuming traditional Irish food. Aye, let’s keep it going! However, I do believe the festival presents an...

The Renewed You

Well, 2023 is here. We are living in some crazy times (says everybody that lived throughout history)! The A.I. take over is just around the corner (Matrix, anyone?). Nah, humans will have the last word, I think. As my buddy Luke Bricker puts it, “…is this going to be some crazy robot takeover and humanity will be regulated to pods, like the Matrix. Personally, I don’t think that’s how it will go. (That is, if we choose to use A.I. and not be used by A.I.) I... Read more

Holiday Revival

Last updated on: December 15, 2022 at 10:54 am By Jordan Hathcock

Being amid the holidays, nostalgia always finds its place in my psyche. Listening to Beach Boys Christmas album in November, watching my kids’ excitement about Christmas movies, to whatever craziness comes – it’s always blasts us into that state of glee (weeee). This childlike state of being is what pushes the holiday spirit to the forefront of this time of year. Why do we “adults” stop experiencing it? Don’t get me wrong, I understand that we all get a taste... Read more

Halloween Is Your Friend

Last updated on: October 30, 2022 at 10:49 am By Jordan Hathcock

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love how it starts the holiday seasons off with a bang. All the leaves turning brown and the sky turning gray. Kind makes you want to walk on a winter’s day, right (Halloween dreaming Mama Papas)? Luckily, I was raised in a home that loved dressing up, watching horror flicks when the mood was right, trick or treating, and all the other wonderful things that come with celebrating this holiday. I... Read more

Holier-Than-Thou Hecklers

Last updated on: September 29, 2022 at 1:33 pm By Jordan Hathcock

Being heckled on stage might be the worst thing that could happen to a stand-up comedian. As comic Patton Oswalt says, “they prevent a show from being a fucking show.” I can see where comics are coming from. It is strange if you think about it. Could you imagine someone coming to your place of work and giving you crap about how you’re doing your job?! Like the scene from Seinfeld episode, The Fire, where Jerry gets retribution on...

Christian Punchlines

Last updated on: October 10, 2022 at 1:17 pm By Jordan Hathcock

Growing up Mormon, I always found great punchlines performed by the authorities of my church. The funny thing is, they didn’t mean it to be a punchline. They were dead serious. That looks to be the way in how Christian’s produce comedy: accidentally. Look, I am not trying to say everything that has to do with a Jesus community is absurd and hilarious. It’s not. There are many beautiful things that happen within those settings that have helped me become... Read more

Can Christians Smoke Weed?

Last updated on: July 21, 2022 at 4:17 pm By Jordan Hathcock

Every time this question is brought up in Christian circles, it always brings me back to me getting caught smoking the gaunga (let’s see how many different words for cannabis I can use) growing up. Like the time in high school when I “misplaced” one of my pipes on the kitchen counter (yeah, I guess I was pretty high?). I still remember my mom’s voice: “Ha, unbelievable! Look at this, it’s a weed pipe!” Maybe not a direct quote... Read more

Social Media Madness

Last updated on: July 5, 2022 at 4:07 pm By Jordan Hathcock

You can’t win nowadays when it comes to engaging in our “social media” world. Dualism is running amok and there is no end in sight. Polarization seems to be the only remedy if looking to find some type of productive dialogue. Yes, you can argue until the cows come home on practically any type of current event. News from all types of sources from the left and right political spectrum seem to be the catalyst. I get it. Historically speaking,... Read more
