Born of the Spirit
Trevor Nashleanas
Becoming a Christian is a lot like being born again. The Spirit gives life to our souls, just as our mother’s gave life to our bodies. It is through the inner work of the Holy Spirit that a person is born to a whole new spiritual life in Christ.
The Debate Over Religious Freedom
Trevor Nashleanas
Religious freedom is something that has been taken for granted by many American’s over the course of the last millennia. When America was predominantly influenced by Christianity, there were few who had the voice to suggest that Christianity’s influence be kept to the margins. Now that the U.S. is quite religiously diverse, politically polarized and […]
Abortion: Women’s Health or Right to Life?
Trevor Nashleanas
America has had many heated debates over the issue of abortion since the Roe vs. Wade decision in the 1973. Those who lean more conservative often appeal to the unborn baby’s “right to life,” while those who lean more liberal appeal to the “woman’s rights.” Our two party system would like us to think that […]
Criminal Justice Reform
Trevor Nashleanas
When it comes to criminal justice, some people appeal to swift and harsh justice against crimes committed so that society might be protected and criminals might learn their lesson. Other people appeal to mercy for criminals, believing that there may be better ways to deal with crime, especially concerning minor offenses. In the Gospel we […]

The current economy and presidential election have employers and employees concerned about Labor Reform. Some are concerned about taxes and government regulations, while others are concerned with worker’s compensation and exploitation. It’s helpful to start any discussion about work with a biblical theology of work and a clear focus on Christ’s work.
Immigration Reform

Very few American citizens can trace their ancestry back to this land, yet immigration reform is surrounded by controversy because of undocumented immigrants, illegal immigration, the refugee crisis and the immigration process itself. The issue can get confusing quickly. Thankfully, the way of Jesus can help us think about […]
War & Terrorism
Trevor Nashleanas
Subjects like war, terrorism and defense by force are contentious and controversial topics in today’s political discourse. Many on the right give the impression that war and defense by force are always justifiable when it comes to acts of terror, while many on the left give the impression that neither are ever justifiable. But can […]
We The People
Trevor Nashleanas
Progress is something of a buzzword in politics today. The problem is, everyone wants it, but no one knows what it actually looks like or how to make it happen. Some see getting the right candidate or party into the White House as progress, while others aren’t convinced that progress is even a possibility this […]
