Why would one man’s death 2000 years ago affect me? That’s the question this episode is about. This episode is based on a Sunday School lesson I’m teaching while the usual teacher is away. This lesson briefly explains the Trinity, the Incarnation, and the Atonement, and how they’re all related. How Jesus’ death 2000 years ago matters to you is based on Who He is.

In the last few weeks I have picked up a new habit: writing opinion pieces. In this episode I explain the art of writing and how to crush writer’s block by keeping your “talking” and “editing” functions from fighting each other. Then, I summarize four opinion pieces I pitched and had published in other venues. My recent opinion pieces: Periodical: The Thinking Conservative “How Men Are Behind Abortion Culture—And What They Should Do About It“ “There IS a Monster Under the Bed! It’s Time To Make Fairy Tales Great Again“ Periodical: The Baptist Standard “Letter: Only two-thirds of U.S. Christians believe all have sinned“ Organization: The Libertarian Christian Institute “Abortion and Bastiat’s Seen and Unseen“ We value your feedback!

My oldest son Aiden returns to Truthspresso as we reflect on Charlie Kirk’s influence in both of our lives. Kirk was almost exactly in between us in age. Kirk’s challenge for us is light over heat and promoting truth through peaceful conversation. Sharing the gospel requires conversations. We value your feedback!

As you likely know, Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. In this episode I give a little tribute as I recall how I discovered what happened and how it affected me. Seeing the sheer number of bloodthirsty banshees on the legacy media and on social media callously celebrating Charlie Kirk’s violent and untimely death is indeed disturbing. I believe this tragedy could be the catalyst for a long overdue revival in the United States, even around the world. We value your feedback! Have questions for Truthspresso?Contact us!

Alma, now without his office of chief judge, becomes a traveling evangelist. He preaches to the church in the city in the valley of Gideon, who seemed to fare better than the church in the city of Zarahemla. Alma then tried to preach to the city of Ammonihah, but they threw him out. An angel eventually told him to go back. When he arrived, he met a guy named Amulek who took care of him for a while.

This episode is part 21 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. This episode covers chapters 1-5 of the book of Alma. Under the new “reign of the judges” the Nephites in Zarahemla find prosperity, but also growing problems of heresies. First, a prosperity preacher named Nehor kills a guy and faces death. Then, a guy named Amlici gets a huge following and creates the Amlicites. The Amlicites join forces with the Lamanites and fight the Nephites several times. Although the Nephites are victories, they have to lick their wounds. The church grows stronger but some lose their humility. Alma the Elder preaches a sermon that reeks of American revivalism and, of course, plagiarized passages

This episode is part 19 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. This episode covers chapters 19-24 of the book of Mosiah. This is part of the record that Ammon read, finishing up the record of Zeniff and the record of Alma. The record of Zeniff tells of the fate of King Noah and his priests as Alma and his church hide in the desert. Noah’s son Limhi succeeds as king of the Nephites. King Noah’s priests capture some Lamanite women and cause unnecessary angst between the Lamanites and the Nephites. Eventually, Limhi and his people escape Lamanite oppression to Zarahemla. Later, Alma and his church find their way to Zarahemla as well. At this
