It is no secret that our culture's view of marriage, family, and sexuality are skewed.

The recent re-election of President Donald Trump elicited various levels of reactions and emotions. On the one hand, conservatives across the country celebrated the victory. On the other hand, liberal meltdowns on TikTok started to go viral. In addition to this, the 4B Movement (Four Nos Movement) has taken root.

For the most part, America has been spared early snowstorms in 2024. Colorado being a significant exception. Here in Illinois, it is not unusual for us to get a white covering as early as October!

Low fertility is a growing topic of concern both in our nation and around the world. Newsweek published an article in early November reporting that “One in three Gen Zers and millennials do not have and do not want to have children…”

For our secular culture, Christmas time is about gift giving, gathering with family, Santa Claus, candy canes, and gingerbread houses. And while these are fun gifts to be enjoyed, we as Christians are called to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.

Last time, we discussed a recent piece in The Atlantic entitled "The Elite College Students Who Can't Read Books." 

This exciting episode of Self Evident features special guest, Pastor Caesar LeFlore. Pastor LeFlore has been on the front of the pro-life movement for decades.
