In this episode I critique Chris Pratt’s response to Ellen Page’s accusations that he goes to an “anti-lgbtq” church, and then I recommend your church sings “For the Cause” by the Getty’s. https://resistingthewinds.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/untitled-1.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS

John the Baptist on the Ellen DeGeneres Show
A Spiritual Hunch Lauren Daigle is another unfortunate (though not surprising) case study in compromised Christianity. Not long ago, Daigle appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show. Many Christians took issue with this, but failed to articulate why in an appropriate way. I think this is evidence of how Christians find difficulty putting into words the convictions of Continue Reading
Adams State University’s “Sex in the Dark”
Adams State University is my alma mater. I still live in the town where it’s located, and I know members of the faculty and some of the students through my local church. I still care very much for the school, and want to minister to the campus. Last year I heard about an event the Continue Reading
Francis and the Future of Roman Catholicism
A Progressive Prophetess Half a decade ago, when I was at university, I attended a public discussion the theatre department put on about homosexuality. Two separate panels discussed the issue. First, there was a panel of professors from the school. They had no diversity, all shared the same view on homosexuality. Then a religious panel Continue Reading
The Golden Rule
The Golden Rule Any person who professes any form of Atheism will find themselves regularly in conversations about morality. Objective ethics has become the Achilles’ heel of the position which asserts a universe without God is possible. What I have found strikingly interesting over the years is how many non-Christians will cling to the Golden Continue Reading
Balaam on the Nashville Statement
Balaam in the Old Testament is not admirable for many reasons. As a pagan who practiced divination, he is most notably known for enticing the Israelites to sin (Numbers 31:16). John’s commentary on him, in Revelation 2:14, states that Balaam “taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they Continue Reading
A Bipartisan Hypocrisy
If anything has happened recently to prove the Gospel is bipartisan and transcends the two-party political system of 21st century America, it is the recent drama over comments made by Milo Yiannopoulos. I have mentioned Milo before, and everything I say next was first said here by Douglas Wilson. However, in my defense, I did have these Continue Reading
Mormonism, Homosexuality, and Infallible Churches
A CNN article broke out recently informing the world of the LDS church’s, as they put it, “monumental shift” on homosexuality. There has been a shift, even on the lds.org webpage has a banner indicating that the church has updated its resource list on “gay Mormons.” The new feature of the webpage, (mormonandgay) is a Continue Reading
Ya, What He Said
The tide is settling from the Supreme Court decision. My Facebook has less rainbows, and Facebook debates have transitioned to new topics. However, there are still some lingering discussions floating around, and one term has been used a lot: “traditional marriage.” I don’t like the concept. I learned from math class that getting the right Continue Reading
