In this video, we take a close, careful look at what the popes have actually said about Islam’s understanding of God. Some people claim that the God of the Quran is Satan — but is that really what the popes and the Catholic Church teach?

Was the Promised Land Given to Israel on Condition of Obedience? In this video, we dive into one of the most important questions in biblical theology: Were God’s promises about the land of Canaan unconditional, or did Israel have to obey the Law of Moses to keep it? We’ll look at the key biblical texts — from Genesis to Deuteronomy — to see what Scripture really says about the land promises. Plus, we’ll explore how the New Testament understands these passages. If you’ve ever wondered how God’s promises work in the Old Testament, this video is for you!…

Ted Cruz says supporting Israel is a biblical obligation — but what does that really mean? In this episode, we go beyond the talking points and ask the uncomfortable questions: What are the implications of basing U.S. foreign policy on biblical prophecy? How does this theological stance shape Cruz’s unwavering support for Israel? And what are the political consequences — both at home and abroad — of merging religious belief with state power? This isn’t just about Cruz. It’s about a deeper trend in American politics — where faith, nationalism, and geopolitics collide.…
Pope Leo XIV has just made a surprising new appointment that’s turning heads across the Catholic world—and beyond. In this episode, we break down who was appointed, why it’s so controversial (or groundbreaking), and what this could mean for the future direction of the Vatican.

In a recent appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show, Senator Ted Cruz quoted Genesis 12:3 — “I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you” — as justification for unwavering U.S. support for the modern state of Israel. But is that what the Bible actually teaches? In this video, we break down the real context of Genesis 12:3, explore who the verse was originally directed toward, and show why applying it to a modern geopolitical state is a serious misreading of Scripture. Even Tucker was taken aback by Cruz’s misuse — and for good reason. Join us as we dig into the text, unpack its historical and theological context, and set the record straight.…
Pride-themed liturgies are being held in Catholic parishes across the country — often with full knowledge of the local bishops. But while the faithful raise concerns, most bishops remain silent. Why? Is it fear of backlash, a strategy of appeasement, or something deeper? In this episode, we examine the rise of so-called “Pride Masses” in Catholic churches, the theological and pastoral implications, and the troubling silence from Church leadership. Are the bishops complicit in this confusion? Or simply unwilling to confront it? Join us as we break down what’s happening, why it matters, and what faithful Catholics can do in response.…

Cardinal Raymond Burke has raised alarm over recent restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass, claiming they amount to a form of persecution by the very heart of the Church—the papacy itself. What does this mean theologically? In this video, I explore the deep implications of Cardinal Burke’s statement. If the papacy can be perceived as suppressing the Church’s liturgical heritage, what does that say about authority, unity, and fidelity in the Catholic Church today? Can the faithful resist ecclesial directives? What does this mean for our understanding of the indefectibility of the Church? Join me as I map out the theological terrain, ask serious questions, and consider the possible consequences of this growing tension in the life of the Church.…

A German Catholic bishop has just resigned in a stunning move, citing deep disillusionment with the Synodal Way and the ongoing chaos within the German Church.

In this episode, I examine a critical issue at the heart of Protestant theology: the preservation of Scripture. Drawing on the scholarship of Dr. Daniel Wallace and Dr. Emanuel Tov—two of the most respected textual critics—I explore whether the Old Testament has truly been preserved in the way Sola Scriptura requires. Both Wallace and Tov offer positions that, when taken seriously, present major challenges to the Protestant principle of Scripture alone. If the text of the Old Testament hasn’t been reliably preserved, can Sola Scriptura still stand as a viable theological foundation? I contrast this with the Catholic view on the preservation of the Word of God, which does not rely solely on the text but includes Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium. Join me as I unpack the implications of modern textual criticism for Protestantism and make the case for the Catholic understanding of divine revelation.…

The Old Testament is at the heart of the Christian faith — but how close is your Bible to what was originally written? In this episode, we dive deep into the complex history of the Old Testament text. We explore the major manuscript traditions — the Masoretic Text, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Septuagint — and uncover the surprising differences between them. What do these ancient sources reveal? How much has the text changed over time? And can we really know what the original authors wrote?

A petition has been launched calling on Pope Leo XIV to remove Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki, a prominent figure in the German Catholic Church. In this episode, I break down the reasons behind this growing demand—from his handling of abuse cases to broader concerns about leadership and accountability. But this issue goes far beyond one cardinal. Many German bishops continue to publicly promote teachings that are in clear contradiction with Catholic doctrine. I explain why this moment will be a critical test for Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate. Will he act decisively to defend the faith and discipline those undermining it from within? Or will silence signal that the papacy is unwilling—or unable—to uphold what it claims to teach? This isn’t just about Germany. It’s about whether the Church is serious about orthodoxy and reform.

Vatican Sends Message to Buddhists – But No Call to Conversion? In this episode, I break down a brand-new document issued by the Vatican under the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue during the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV. Directed to Buddhists, the document emphasizes common spiritual values and shared moral concerns—but notably stops short of calling for conversion or repentance. Why does the Vatican take this approach? I trace the roots of this interfaith tone back to Vatican II, exploring how Church teaching on religious dialogue has developed since then. Most importantly, we dive deep into the dogma “Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus”—”Outside the Church there is no salvation”—and examine how the Church reconciles this with outreach efforts that focus on respect and cooperation rather than evangelization. Whether you’re a Catholic trying to understand the Church’s modern engagement with other religions, or just curious about what this document says (and what it doesn’t), this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.…
