Jon Harris examines Russell Brand’s new book “How to Become a Christian in Seven Days,” published by Tucker Carlson Books. While acknowledging some positive elements, Jon warns that the book mixes truth with serious theological errors, New Age influences, and a dangerous conflation of political “red-pilling” with genuine spiritual regeneration.

Jon discusses the difference between a true biblical Great Awakening and the current wave of celebrity spirituality, the proper understanding of sin, repentance, faith, and the gospel, and why political awakening is not the same as spiritual revival.

Sam Allberry's views on Same Sex Attraction have been controversial for years. Within the evangelical movement, Allberry proports to value singles and same-sex attracted people while still holding a high position of marriage and family. This is attractive to many who want orthodox doctrine without what they see as a stereotypical judgmental attitude. Unfortunately, Sam Allberry's theology was more than inadequate. It lead people to make peace with a sinful orientation and receive consequences for those sins as if the consequences were signs of sacrificial godliness. There is a better way for those who struggle with same-sex attraction, homosexual orientation, gay feelings, or whatever term they use to describe their sinful desires.

Jon Harris examines the state of the American church in 2026 — a time of spiritual interest among Gen Z, rising Bible sales, and public figures talking about Christianity, yet mixed with confusion, pastoral failures, and the risk of counterfeit revival. Drawing from statistics, personal reflections, and Scripture, Jon calls Christians to stand faithfully with the true church, prioritize the gospel, and focus on making disciples rather than platforms or politics. A sober yet hopeful message for believers navigating this cultural moment.
