“I bet we’re still 90% people who have had bad church experiences,” said Zach Lambert, lead pastor and founder of Restore. “More and more people, I think, have seen a need for a church like ours to be an alternative to Christian nationalist, right-wing churches.” religionnews.com/2026/07/28/b...

Fighting for kids to receive state-mandated Bible instruction while fighting against those same kids receiving free lunch is exactly the kind of religious hypocrisy Christians should stand against. This is what it looks like to take the Lord’s name in vain.

Yesterday I posted that I am against the new Texas law requiring the Bible to be taught in public schools. I got some genuine questions about why a Christian pastor would be against state-mandated Bible study. So, I decided to write this article about it. zachwlambert.substack.com/p/this-lifel...

If you’re a Christian genuinely wondering why it’s bad for the state of Texas to require Bible study in public schools, imagine how you’d feel if your family lived in New York City and Mamdani required Quran study in public schools.

This Palm Sunday, let’s remember... Jesus chose a donkey of peace instead of a horse of war. Jesus disarmed his followers instead of forming an army. Jesus exposed the evil of violence instead of partnering with it. Jesus laid down his own life instead of taking anyone else’s.

“Lust, which is best defined as the sexual objectification of someone else, is condemned through Scripture, but the blame always rests upon the one who lusts, not the one being lusted after.”

It feels like every other week some pastor loudly decries yoga pants and misquotes the Bible about modesty all over social media. If you’ve ever wondered why they do this, and why it’s contrary to how Scripture addresses modesty, I wrote this for you. zachwlambert.substack.com/p/biblical-m...

If you want to know why so many of us have been sounding the alarm on Doug Wilson for years, and turning up the volume recently as he is given access to the highest levels of our government, watch this.

"Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no longer believes in God, for it is perhaps your own coldness and avarice, your mediocrity and materialism, your sensuality and selfishness that have killed his faith." - Thomas Merton
