St. Patrick wasn’t a mascot for green beer.
He was a missionary who returned to the people who enslaved him… to preach Christ.
We turned him into a party.
He gave his life to the gospel.
I made a song about the real Patrick.
May I remind everyone that certain Republican lawmakers and National Pro-Life Groups are the ones getting in the way of abolishing abortion in several states. Watch this👇

I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision.
The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS.
Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity.
If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in.
What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical.
So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do.
There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post.
On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life.
What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…?
There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…?
The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.
I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation.
That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear.
So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed.
There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth.
To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future.

This is the most important song and video I’ve released.
Preborn children deserve Equal Protection under the law NOW.
That means exposing the “pro-life” groups and Republican politicians who are actively blocking it.
More people need to see what's going on.
@McJuggerNuggets This guy pays someone to murder his kid and then posts about it. People get angry at him online... and he plays the victim and calls THEM the depraved ones?? This is next level psychotic. We desperately need to criminalize this evil.
I've been wanting to do a John Owen shirt for a while, and my friend over at Restore Graphics (link below) designed this awesome shirt inspired by the Mortification of Sin song/video. If you work in ministry and your church or organization needs help with branding or graphic design, definitely check out Restore Graphics.
The shirt is available for purchase now (and a new John Owen song drops next week)!
@HellaciousBroad I believe the criminals within the Epstein Files should be unveiled, prosecuted, and if found guilty executed. Regardless of who they are or what office they hold.
Do you agree?
My name is Ben & this is my wife Aubrianna and we're Christians. This June we'll be celebrating & affirming marriage as it was designed to be by God; between one man and one woman (Matthew 19:4-6)

You just walk up to people, smile at them, and say something like, "How you guys doing? We're here talking to people about what's going on at the Pride festival, do you have a few minutes to talk?" Or something like that.
Some will so no, some will say yes. It starts the conversation off on a nice calm footing.
I didn’t expect this at a Pride Festival…
A few years ago, the local LGBT activists threw the first Pride Festival in our very conservative town. It was a pretty big deal. People from all over the state drove in to attend and support it.
A few guys from our church and some other churches went to have gospel conversations. Not to protest. No to fight. But to love our neighbors enough to tell them the truth of salvation in Christ.
It was a dark and heavy day. The things that were displayed were gross, immoral and even illegal.
It was maybe about 12 Christians surrounded by thousands of Pride attendees.
We were screamed at and threatened, all the while we responded with truth in love. Never yelling back.
To our surprise, many people wanted to have conversations with us. Especially the younger people, who were genuinely curious.
At one point, a young crossdresser was engaging with us in a great, respectful dialogue, and a gang of angry activists walked by screaming at us and imploring the crossdresser fellow not to talk to us.
The crossdesser turned around and flipped them off and yelled a vulgarity at them. He turned to us and said something to the effect of, “they can’t tell me who I can and can’t talk to.”
My buddy and I were shocked. We didn’t expect that.
And this happened more than once. Even Furries in fox costumes defending us from their LGBT allies because we treated them with dignity, love and respect… while never holding back the truth of Scripture.
While it was overall discouraging… there were positive gospel filled conversations that were had.
Skip to 1 year later, we go back to the Pride festival and by God’s grace it’s not a dozen guys. More than 75 people are there to evangelize, not including the 15-25 on the outer perimeter praying, representing maybe 10-15 churches.
Again, not protesting. Not holding signs. There to have gospel conversations with their neighbors and love them enough to warn them of hell.
It was such a radically different event. The energy of the festival was tepid at best and it was actually hard to find people to have conversations with because everywhere I looked, conversations were already being had. And young Christians showed up, guys that had never done evangelism.
I tell this story to encourage you all of two things:
1. Get involved with evangelism at your local Pride event. You don’t need to be good at it (I’m certainly not. It terrifies me). But if you have thick skin and can take some verbal abuse without lashing back, it’s actually a very easy place to get your feet wet with evangelism. Lots of people are open to having respectful conversations. Even if you show up just to pray, your presence is felt. It’s a spiritual battle, and we need more support.
2. Satan hates it when Christians show up to these events calm, collected and full of love for their neighbor. Many of these Pride goers expect Westboro Baptist levels of hatred… so when you look them in the eye as a fellow image bearer of God, and humbly tell them that without Christ, I myself am nothing and heading straight for hell, it surprises them. All they know is the caricature of Christians. And then share the promise of 1 Corinthians 6:11 that “Such were some of you” and that you can be washed, purified and sanctified through the finished work of Christ.
Satan wants yelling matches to break out. Because once yelling starts, ears close, and Gospel isn't heard.
Happy LGBT Evangelism Month! May God save many people from their sin this month.
@JonnyRoot_ Love it! Now we need more people to show up to their local pride festivals sharing the Truth in love. Here's a story of what I saw here in conservative Idaho.

You do know that just because the Bible describes something doesn't mean it's prescribing it. In every single case of polygamy (which is a the norm in every culture back then) you see the horrible effects of it. That's why God's law actually forbade Kings from taking on multiple wives... a law which kings like Solomon and David dissobeyed to their detriment.
A criminal can't tell the judge that he doesn't believe in the law, or the lawgiver, therfore he shouldn't be judged.
Morals are transcednent. They're unviversal. And apart from God's Word, the Bible, you can't have a claim on morality or even truth. Whether you like it or not, you will be judged by God you don't believe in and the Word you reject.
I tell you this out of love, every day people are repenting of homosexuality and turning to Christ. You can be born again. All your guilt, all your shame, all you sin, wiped away, if you repent and believe in Christ. I'll pray for you.
I don't hate you. Apart from Christ, I'm no different from you in that I'd be lost and a slave to my sin I love you enough to tell you that the life you're living is in rebellion to your creator.
Jesus said, "“What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
I've been somewhat vocal with my criticisms of guys on within the "NXR".... but I believe in recognizing good artistry when I see it, and @Brian_Sauve's newest album is excellent and soul stirring. Well done brother! I may have to get this one on Vinyl.
My brand new album, "Long Days, Short Years," is now streaming everywhere!
I wrote these songs to help you cherish the glories God has woven into every one of your days—because they won't ever come again.
I hope you love it as much as I have loved making it.
