I interviewed my friend and professor, Dr. Bernard Mauser, about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, specifically covering the topic of fascism and free speech. It was a tough video to make, but it needed to be made in my opinion. But Dr. Mauser is a phenomenal resource. I highly recommend that you follow his YouTube channel:

This is Frank's first video since he witnessed the murder of Charlie Kirk. It's both beautiful and heartbreaking. Please watch if you can.

Jesus was inclusive.

He included everyone to transform them. Not affirm them. A true irony: Remember, it wasn't the sinner that refused to come to Jesus for salvation. It was the Pharisee. They didn't want Jesus' message of salvation. They were so self-righteous that the message of the Gospel deeply offended them. Us? Sinners?!

The audacity!

Jesus includes you at the table to save you from your sin, not affirm it. So the problem is that not everyone wants to accept the invitation to sit with Him.

Not all opposition is persecution. Sometimes you're just being a jerk. Or teaching nopey nonsense.

This is one of the most fair and loving perspectives I've seen of the Chip and Joanna Gaines controversy.

Coming from Becket Cook, a former gay man turned Christian and Katy Faust, Christian and founder of Them Before Us, who grew up with a gay parent.

Some of you might notice I took down my "store" from my channel. I've been wanting to do this for a while. I disabled it last year, too, but had people ask about it, so I put it back up. But this time it's staying down permanently. There are a few reasons for this:

#1- It's too expensive for the buyer. I used Spring, which a lot of creators do, and it's free to use. It's actually a great way to sell merch on YouTube if you're gonna do it. I sold mugs and tumblers. The way it works is that Spring sets a price for the product, then the creator chooses how much more they want to raise the price to make a profit. (Usually that's a few bucks, but it adds up.) It's not like I sold a ton of these. I maybe made about 100 bucks every year to give you an idea. Sometimes I made more, maybe 200ish at the most. But it wasn't a significant form of revenue. I really did it more for the fun and novelty of it, and sort of just forgot it was there for the most part. But I just simply don't want to have a store on my channel anymore. I mean... It's a MUG. Fun or not, nobody should have to pay $20-$30 for a cylindrical piece of glass or metal with a handle and words on it.

#2- I've had people report that they never even got their purchase. This has happened a few times this year. Because it's a third-party, I can't directly do anything about it outside of personally refunding the purchase. That's frustrating for everyone involved.

#3- The "ick." This is my own **personal** conscience on this, as there are many God-fearing Christians filled with integrity who I deeply admire who have merch on their channels. I am certainly not implying there's anything inherently sinful or unethical about that at all. In fact, more power to them, as I'm sure their merch is not only much better than mine was, but they are probably more organized and gifted in this area. They probably genuinely have a different perspective on this than me. But for me personally? Selling merch on my channel feels "icky." Sometimes I have my mug that I'm drinking from in my videos, and I just don't wanna make it seem like I'm trying to push a product when I just genuinely am enjoying my hug in a mug (coffee) and have it distract from the messgae of the video. It's just not for me anymore.

I know that this is a long interview, but please take the time to listen to it. Teasi's story isn't an isolated one, and I have a feeling that many of you who listen to her will find yourself in her story.

I found myself frustrated and even angry at times listening to this. I can't think of a better video to demonstrate the abuse of power and the manipulation that some pastors have over their congregation.

**And how they get away with it, playing the victim while making victims all while twisting Scripture to justify it.**

This pastor? Is Steve Berger. 🧐
