The Problem With Progressive Christianity (And It’s Not Small)

I already wrote a little about progressive Christianity back in 2022, specifically in response to a YouTube video I had watched by Brandan Robertson, "noted author, pastor, and public theologian at the forefront of the progressive faith movement."

Will Progressive Christianity Destroy The Church?

I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while. Some time ago, I watched a commentary by a ‘Christian pastor’ that totally shocked me. In fact, I haven't really stopped thinking about it since. I found it disturbing; equal parts ridiculous and horrifying, and I really couldn’t believe it was being presented under the guise of legitimate Christianity

The War On Gender

There's a troubling trend arising in our postmodern age, an era that has also given rise to 'post-truth'. New information platforms, social upheaval and the overabundance of global communication networks are giving this idea traction and we're seeing it take root and grow, with potentially devastating consequences.

The Kingdom Of God Is Like…

Carrie Shaw September 22, 2026

I used to think the Kingdom of God was like something out of a medieval fairy tale: turrets stretching skyward, covered in ivy, stone towers glistening in the evening sun.

The Revival Of Antisemitism (Or Was It Ever Really Dead?)

Carrie Shaw October 7, 2026

The reality is, the world feels sharply split right now: pro-Palestinian or pro-Israeli, and the gap only seems to be getting wider. Along with that widening gap is a troubling and disturbing shift in how Jewish people are being spoken about and portrayed.
