God’s grip on us is greater than our grip on Him. Just like our grip in the gym, our spiritual grip can sometimes feel weak or uncertain. But the beauty of it all is that while we work on strengthening our grip, both physically and spiritually, God’s grip on us never falters. His hold is complete and unwavering, ensuring that even when we feel like…

So far in 2023, market volatility as measured by the VIX has seemed disconnected from the whippiness we've all seen on our screens. So why is that? When we look at the VIX equation itself, along with the counterparty hedging that takes place on the other side of a 0 DTE trade, this disconnect becomes a whole lot clearer.

In the sage words of MLK, or better yet, JC, the truth will indeed set you free. There is an incredible power in telling the truth, and no better example exists than that of the final days before Jesus went to the cross, when he had a confrontation with Pontius Pilate, as written in the Gospel of John NIV 8:32. We also throw a nod to the late, Ravi…

It’s pretty hard to argue that high volume training is an effective way to grow. Whether it be a high volume chest workout, high volume back workout, high volume arms workout (#pumpchasers), or a high volume shoulder workout, the evidence is clear - more volume typically means more progress. But, we want to be careful that we don’t always add sets …

In no other faith, belief, or worldview, do grace and mercy exist simultaneously like they do in Christianity. Through the Gospel, we are freely given what we don’t deserve (grace), and we are shielded from what we do deserve (mercy). And here is what this means for your life... ----------------------------------------------------------------------…

The Bible can change your life, if you let it. And the Gospel itself can completely transform your heart, if you give it a chance.

Today, let's explore that question. --------------------------------------------…

When you look at the Gospel from the outside, it’s not that easy to believe. As a Christian, I have lots of sympathy and compassion for the Non-Christians out there that have a difficult time accepting the core message of the Bible.

Here, he lays out the characteristics that we as Christians should strive to embody as followers of Christ. But what’s even more interesting is his u…

Before ever digging into the specifics of a given faith, we all need to come to some conclusion about the existence of a God Himself. Does what we understand, or not understand, about the world around us point to a Supernatural Being having a hand in its creation? Why or why not? To help answer that, we borrow an idea from JB Warner’s Cold Case Chr…

In a very famous quote, Ghandi once said, “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” And even GK Chesterton, an evangelical preacher, said, “The greatest case against Christiantiy is Christians themselves.” On the surface, these appear to be negative evaluations of Christians, their testimonies f…
