I uploaded this on my channel earlier this year, but I decided to re-upload it in memory of a friend that suddenly and shockingly passed away. I reflected and prayed on the tragedy and the aftermath and decided to write this to reach others and let them know that if there’s anyone out there that has these dark struggles- that there’s hope. True hope that doesn’t fade or let you down. You’re not alone. Jesus didn’t come to Earth to not know how it feels to be human. God became His creation. He’s not a god that is far away, far from suffering and human pain. He entered into this mess, and He’s in your mess. No matter what you’ve done He loves and will forgive you. It’s not an empty victory, filled with endless desolate affirmations and a god that doesn’t know how to handle our mountain of sin or doesn't care about your pain. This is what true victory looks like. In many ways I wanted this to demonstrate the Old and New Covenants. God became His own creation to pay the just penalty for sin that we could never pay. He took our place, the righteous for the unrighteous. *This* is the atonement. I mean... wow. "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."- 2 Corinthians 5:21. I filmed this with three different cameras, over six hours of footage. The editing itself was a total rollercoaster, wild and unpredictable. To me, the video is just as much art as the painting itself. I hope you all enjoy it. I worked very hard on it.

"Trans-species" and "Otherkin" is on the Tubes of You menu today. It makes me wonder if at some point we won’t be asking “what is a woman” but “what is a human.” I call this “toxic inclusion.” What a time to be alive.

The Trans Epidemic. Online activists and influencers are the evangelists, Gender ideology is their gospel, transitioning is membership into their church, cross-sex hormones are your baptism, and surgery is your salvation. Right now, our children are being taught that reality is based on what offends them. Gender-affirming activists will force you to now believe that what was up is now down, a circle is now a square, 2+2 now equals potato, and your girl is now a boy. This is a mental feat that everyone must submit to, even if it’s not true, and even if they don’t believe it, they’re never allowed to voice that doubt. Well, I'm not going to take it. I'm releasing this video on our official first day of homeschool. There are many more than just five reasons why we decided to do this outside of this video, but I focused on reasons applicable to this video. I understand that not every parent can home school. I know that there are many parents who wish that they could. And many others simply don't want to homeschool. I am not here to shame you or make you feel bad about your choices. All I'm going to do in this video is explain my journey with this in hopes that it will help other parents and hopefully open eyes to this situation in general.

Christ-followers are called to combat these false ideas that stand in the way of the Gospel. To effectively engage with this post-Christian culture, you will need a deeply integrated understanding of theology, philosophy, and apologetics—the bedrock of a degree from Southern Evangelical Seminary and Bible College (SES). SES is actually where I currently attend, and they offer accredited degrees and certificates that use this integrated approach to equip you to proclaim the Gospel, engage the culture, and defend the truth.
