Our Society Needs Christian Voices

 In a time of cultural noise, moral confusion, and deep division, it has never been more important for Christian voices to speak clearly–and lovingly–into the public square. Our society is wrestling with questions of truth, identity, justice, and purpose. In the absence of clarity, chaos often rushes in.

This section of The Outrider Post is dedicated to thoughtful, biblically rooted commentary on the issues that shape our world. Here, we will reflect on faith not only as a personal journey but as a lens through which to engage politics, culture, community, and conscience.

We believe the teachings of Jesus Christ offer both eternal truth and timely wisdom. Whether it's questions of human dignity, stewardship, family, justice, or mercy, this space exists to connect faith to life–not with arrogance, but with humility and conviction.

If you are a believer looking for perspective, or a seeker looking for meaning, we hope these writings will encourage, challenge, and equip you.

Because our society doesn't just need more voices.

It needs voices grounded in truth.

Founder and Editor, The Outrider Post

The OBBBA: The Great, The Good, and The Disappointing

  As of the time that I am writing this the House appears set to approve the final provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. President Donald Trump appears set to secure his landmark legislative achievement 164 days since the commencement of his second term. There is no doubt that this piece of legislation will be the centerpiece of his presidency, likely surpassing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in his future presidential biographies. Although I have not been shy in recent days critiquing specific provisions of the bill, I do wholeheartedly believe that on net, the OBBBA will be a positive step for the United States of America and should be applauded. However, in a 940-page bill, in a Congress with the narrowest of majorities, from a Republican Party that has become a broad coalition of anti-leftist, oftentimes contradicting, interests, that there will be provisions that pass that aren’t ideal. Nevertheless, let’s breakdown the One Big Beautiful Bill Act with the great, the goo...

I'm Proud To Be An American

It is a strange thing to be born into a nation that both saves and sins. Stranger still to love it. Stranger still, perhaps, not to. In April of 1945, U.S. soldiers liberated Buchenwald. What they found—bodies stacked like cordwood, children too weak to stand—shattered the postwar illusion that history had been moving gradually toward progress. It was a revelation not just of evil, but of its capability to flourish in silence. The United States did not discover evil in Europe. But it confronted it. And more importantly, it resolved to restrain it—not through imperial dominion, but through the creation of institutions, alliances, and post-war norms built on ideas. That moment—when force was met with order, when liberty stared down nihilism—is one of many reasons I am proud to be an American. Because to be an American is not merely to occupy land within borders. It is to be formed by a proposition. And to be responsible for it.

Deportation Isn’t Genocide. Let’s Stop Pretending It Is

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of people compare President Trump’s deportation efforts to Nazi Germany. Honestly, it’s getting out of hand. It’s not just inaccurate—it’s offensive, too. This isn’t about politics for me. It’s about facts. We can’t let our emotions run wild and twist reality. Deportation is not the same thing as genocide. Not even close. Let’s Start With the Basics Deportation isn’t some new, cruel invention. It didn’t start with Trump. It didn’t start with Bush. It didn’t even start with Obama—although, for the record, Obama deported more people than any president in U.S. history. Millions. He was literally called the “Deporter-in-Chief” by immigration activists. But suddenly now, when Trump talks about deportation, it’s being painted as the start of a fascist regime? Come on. There’s a difference between disliking a policy and misrepresenting it completely. You can be against deportations. That’s fine. But calling it “Nazi-like” is not just wrong—it’s ridiculous. Histo...
