In our currently English dictionaries happiness and joy are almost synonyms. Chelsea and I try to be a dictionary for these words as we contrast the two words. We read verses from the Bible to learn what Biblical joy means and how it doesn’t always go with happiness.Our definitions of the words:Happiness: a state of feeling good based on present conditionsJoy: a state of hope based on future promisesSources Consulted:Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, s.v. “happiness,” accessed August 7, 2022.Scriptures Referenced:Acts 5:41Acts 13:50-52Romans 14:172 Corinthians 7:4Galatians 5:221 Thessalonians 2:19-20Hebrews 10:34Hebrews 12:2Psalm 30:5Nehemiah 8:10James 1:2*** Castle Rock Women’s Health is a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.

On July 1 the Indianapolis Star published a piece that mentioned a pregnant 10-year-old girl seeking an abortion. According to this article she had to go to Indiana because her home state of Ohio wouldn’t allow it–all because of those fiendish Supreme Court justices!The hazy event spread around the world and became part of the abortion debate (as intended), and President Biden mentioned it in a speech. After conservative news commentators and guests expressed their doubts about the story, police arrested the perpetrator on July 12. A child abuser is now off the streets!As details are now coming out, they raise questions about coverups and political maneuvering. Why didn’t the news initially focus on catching a criminal? Why does it

TikTok videos show pro-abortion women retaliating against the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.They’re warning “pro-life” men that a lack of access to abortion could threaten “hookup culture.” They’re calling for “abstinence” apart from commitment. They’re demanding men who cause women to be pregnant to share financial responsibility and help raise the child.They believe these demands will punish “pro-life” men.Chelsea and I believe these TikTok women have no idea what “pro-life” really means.What these women think are ultimatums are what we have been saying all along. The Bible teaches abstinence before marriage, that men and women should seek a lifelong spouse, and that men should be fathers who sacrifice for their wife and children.Christians should use these misunderstandings

Chelsea and I conclude our series about Pride Month.Ricci Tres is a 29-year-old combat veteran and father of three children who recently decided to try to be a woman. Tres was rejected from the women’s Olympic skateboarding because he has too much testosterone. He later won a NYC skateboarding competition and put a 13-year-old girl in second place. Tres admits he could “never be a woman” but wishes he were born that way. He wants to be “pretty and cute.”Fox News aired a controversial story about the Whittington family and how their young daughter allegedly told her parents she was really a boy before she could even speak. She supposedly “came out” as a boy at age 5. The Whittingtons

We take a break from what we said we were going to address this week to talk about the Supreme Court ruling for Dobbs v. Jackson on Friday, June 24, 2022. On this historic day Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey were explicitly overturned.We talk about the Constitutional arguments laid out in the decision and the problems with the dissenting opinion.The decision simply relegated the authority to legislate abortion back to the states and the people. This is not the time to claim victory and move on. The battle for the hearts and minds of people over abortion now kicks into high gear from the ground up.Sources Consulted:Dobbs v. Jackson decision PDFDobbs v. Jackson dissent PDFScriptures Cited:Psalm 20:7Deuteronomy

Chelsea and I continue our coverage of events and thoughts about Pride Month.Some protesters disrupted a “Drag Queen Story Hour” at a library in San Lorenzo, California. Most media articles side with the drag queen and demonize the protesters. They mostly asked parents why they brought their kids specifically to this event. The parents didn’t give a cogent answer.Apparently, these protesters are possibly guilty of a “hate crime.” Are “drag queens” now a protected minority class of people?We shift from drag queens and transgender people to ask the question “What is a woman?” If being a “woman” is not a part of biology, what exactly is a “woman”?The more Western culture insists on rebelling against God’s created order, the more

Note: This episode contains subject matter that may not be suitable for young children. We made our best effort to keep the information non-descriptive.“Pride Month” has become a sacred cow of secular religion. Children are increasingly targeted for grooming.The recent “Drag the Kids to Pride” event in Dallas, Texas demonstrated this as parents forced their young children to watch “drag queens” dance for money.The kids didn’t want to be there for their parents’ secular ritual.Commentators Alex Stein and John Doyle went there to report, chat, and preach. They revealed things the mainstream media ignored.As Christians we must be bold about the truth that the Bible clearly condemns “pride” and the goals of “Pride Month.” We must be vigilant to protect

Chelsea and I continue and conclude our discussion of the tragic mass school shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.As politicians clamor for more gun control, we look at Salvador Ramos’ family situation.Were warning signs ignored that led to this attack?Could Ramos’ poor family situation have been at the root of his problems?We believe the evidence shows that Biblical parenthood is the true solution for preventing mass shootings.Also in this series:The Uvalde TragedySources Consulted:Emma Parry, “TWISTED GAME: Disturbing tactic used by Salvador Ramos to lure girls online after his chilling threat to Yubo player emerges,” The Sun, May 26, 2022.Rachel Otts, “Warning Signs May Have Been Present in Uvalde Shooter,” The Dallas Express, May 26, 2022.Jack Morphet, MaryAnn
