He also holds a Th.M. in New Testament paid for mostly by the Post-9/11 GI Bill (don't tell Mikey Weinstein).

The Worldview of Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville, Part Two

In my previous post, I reviewed an episode of the Seth MacFarlane’s comedy-scifi series, The Orville, in which the show presents its worldview concerning the dignity of women.

I’m Kind of Done Upgrading my Logos Bible Software

Some time ago, I started a YouTube channel called Bible Software Guy. Just as many auto mechanics were successful with channels about repairing cars, I thought I’d do one with my own little niche. Sure, there are far fewer people doing work in advanced Bible software than repairing cars, but I thought this would be helpful. […]
