Regarding the Image of God
This post will be a bit of a strange one. I wrote most of the following piece about six months ago, as certain governmental policies and actions were starting to roll out - and while reflecting upon certain ongoing atrocities. While these reflections revolve mostly around those claiming and practicing the Christian faith (and our failures to do so rightly) I do believe that they might be provide valuable insight - or at least something to think about - for folks of all perspectives who are willing to read them. So without further ado, here are a few of my recent reflections regarding the biblical concept of the 'image of God.'

Rant of a Human Being Trying to Survive 2026. Content Warning.
Rant of a Human Being Trying to Survive 2026 This is my first draft that I wrote. I thought it was too potent, raw, and political. However, it is not political. It is about human suffering, dignity, and living each day on Earth.

For much of the conflict, Europe framed Ukraine’s struggle as a clear case of resistance against Russian aggression. The narrative was straightforward: Ukraine was defending sovereignty, and Europe stood firmly behind it. However, by 2026, the situation has evolved into something far more complex. The war is no longer just about Ukraine—it has become a broader strategic test for Europe itself. At the center of this test lies what analysts are calling the “Trump Conundrum.”

Results Of US Regime Changes
For decades, the United States has justified its foreign interventions under the banner of promoting democracy and stability. The underlying assumption behind many of these actions is simple: remove an authoritarian leader, and a more stable, democratic, and cooperative system will naturally emerge. However, history tells a far more complicated—and often troubling—story.

The decline of the West and the rise of ‘the Rest’ will lead to a new world order
As Donald Trump rampages through the global economic system with his tariff war and throws the United States’ commitment to NATO into serious doubt, fears – even panic – are mounting about the collapse of world order. Part of the anxiety stems from how suddenly these changes appear to have unfolded. In the aftermath of the 2008 global economic crisis, what was often described as the US-led liberal international order seemed alive and well, though not without challenges.

Kharg Island Bombed: Trump.
