French Friday: The Nazi Rot on the Right

French Friday: The Nazi Rot on the Right

Open Nazi rhetoric is gaining traction on the right, and the response from conservative institutions has been inconsistent at best. Skye and David trace the roots of the problem, the incentives that fueled it, and the late-breaking backlash that may signal a tipping point. They also look at ICE’s increasingly aggressive “Kavanaugh stops,” ...

The SkyePod - Liberalism

Skye and Kaitlyn talk Liberalism, a political philosophy that’s shaped our world—but the word has become totally conflated with whatever is considered “left-wing.” What is liberalism, why was it instrumental in constructing the American Experiment, and why does Skye seem so much more positive about it than Kaitlyn is?

Getting Schooled - Proverbs 31 Woman 101

Getting Schooled - Proverbs 31 Woman 101

What is a “Proverbs 31 Woman?” This concept has been used in many ministries and has frequently put a huge weight on women. Have we misunderstood why this is written? And how does that reveal how other cultural ideas have retroactively changed our view of scripture?

The SkyePod - SkyeDive: Hypocrisy

Hypocrites! No one wants to be seen as one. While most people claim to hate hypocrisy, does our hatred of hypocrisy take our attention from more bald-faced sin? And could a certain kind of hypocrisy be a stepping stone away from other sins and toward virtue? Skye dives into hypocrisy and gives the antidotes for twin errors that hypocrisy creates...

With God Daily - Transactional vs. Devotional

After being miraculously healed of his leprosy, Naaman offers Elisha a lavish gift of gold, silver, and expensive clothing which the prophet utterly rejects despite Naaman’s urging.
