  • Is Hard Work a Myth? A Christian View of Success and Merit

    Is Hard Work a Myth? A Christian View of Success and Merit
    May 5 2026
    In America, we’re told that if we work hard, make good choices, and play by the rules, we’ll succeed. But is that actually how life works? In this *final* episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore the “myth of hard work” and take a closer look at how success really works. How much of where you are today is due to your effort and choices, and how much is due to factors outside your control? Looking at everything from cultural assumptions to biblical wisdom, we unpack the strengths and limits of meritocracy, the hidden role of luck (or grace), and why seeing your life rightly can lead to greater humility, generosity, and gratitude. 🔔 Subscribe now!

  • Why Aren't People Having Kids Anymore?

    Why Aren't People Having Kids Anymore?
    Apr 28 2026
    Why are fewer people having kids, and does it really matter? In recent years, birth rates have dropped dramatically across the U.S. and much of the world. While many assume it’s a financial issue, the deeper cause may be cultural: we’ve stopped seeing children as a blessing and started seeing them as a burden. In this fourteenth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we explore what’s behind the decline in marriage and family, how our cultural values around money, career, and independence have shifted, and what the Bible has to say about children, marriage, and the purpose of family. We also cast a positive vision for why Christians should value and embrace children, not as obstacles to a good life, but as part of God’s design for it. 🔔 Subscribe now!

  • Social Media for Kids: What Christian Parents Should Know

    Social Media for Kids: What Christian Parents Should Know
    Apr 21 2026
    Recent data doesn’t lie: the kids aren’t alright. In recent years, rates of anxiety, loneliness, depression, eating disorders, and suicide attempts have risen dramatically among American teens, and it’s becoming harder and harder to ignore the role smartphones and social media are playing. In this thirteenth episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we tackle what may be the biggest parenting question of our time: should kids have smartphones and social media? We explore what the data says about how phones and social media are affecting children and teens, why this issue matters for Christians (whether parents or not), and how parents can think biblically and wisely about protecting their kids’ minds, hearts, and development. We also offer practical ways to delay phones, limit access, and protect your kids from a screen-shaped childhood. 🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our Not Just Sacred series!
