80 years ago C S Lewis clearly sounded the alarm, but we paid no heed. He told us so. He tried to warn us. He sounded the alarm 80 years ago. Back in 1943 Lewis gave three extremely important lectures which were published four years later in the form of The Abolition of [...]

Disney’s obsession with woke sexuality has cost it a quarter of a billion dollars at the box office. Does Disney really believe that families enjoy LGBTQ+-affirmative lecturing in films? Growing up, there was nothing more magical to me than the opening credits of a Disney [...]

Recently I caught a Diamond Python on my daily prayer walk in the rainforest at Mt Kembla, near where I live in Wollongong, Australia. Someone asked me, “Why did you catch it?” That is a good question. If the truth is to be known, I [...]
