Super Bowl 54 — Andy Reid hasn’t failed ….yet

January 31, 2020 by Jason Marianna

The NFL should get down on its proverbial knees and thank the 49ers and Chiefs. The league was bound and determined to ruin the biggest sporting event of the year. First, they put it on Fox in all the Joe Buck glory alongside the block of wood known as Troy Aikman. I suppose we can […]

That was Gronk, not me, right? If I don’t have some sort of brain injury, then what, pray-tell, is going on with all of […]

God is Unchanging: STTA!

One of the biggest mistakes we make when thinking about God is that He has to be like us in order for Him to relate to us and for us to relate to him. While there are some ways our attributes are like God’s, in most ways He is not at all like us. Most […]

7 Reminders About the God of Our Trials

One of the ways God is understood is through an understanding of how He interacts with His creation. Philosophers, both Christian and pagan, have debated this concept for millennia. Albert Einstein famously said: “There are […]
