Opinionated, Not Judgmental

Christians say this all the time:

“Faith and politics shouldn’t mix.”

But have you ever stopped to ask… what politics actually is?

Politics is simply how societies decide laws, justice, and leadership.

Which means if Christians care about things like:

• justice
• human dignity
• truth
• protecting life

…then faith will inevitably intersect with politics.

The real danger isn’t Christians participating in politics.

The real danger is idolizing it.

The Bible actually gives us a clear framework:

📖 Matthew 5:13–14 — Be salt and light
📖 Micah 6:8 — Pursue justice
📖 Psalm 146:3 — Don’t trust princes
📖 Philippians 3:20 — Our citizenship is in heaven

Christians shouldn’t worship politics.

But we shouldn’t abandon society either.

Truth and wisdom belong in the public square.

Are Christians starting to divide over Israel?

Lately I’ve seen believers arguing online about geopolitics, presidents, and foreign policy.

But maybe we’re asking the wrong question.

Because the real issue for Christians isn’t politics.

It’s Scripture.

The Bible never tells us to blindly support any government.

Not Israel’s.

Not America’s.

Not anyone’s.

But it does say something powerful about the Jewish people.

📖 Genesis 12:3
“I will bless those who bless you…”

And it reminds us that salvation itself came through Israel.

📖 John 4:22
“Salvation is from the Jews.”

In a world trying to turn everything into a political fight, Christians should be careful not to lose the bigger picture.

Faith first.
Politics second.

Why does God choose flawed people to lead? Well, what other choice does he have?

God qualifies the called, he doesn’t call the qualified.
Long ago, God chose a man with power… influence… and a massive moral failure.

He abused his authority.
Committed adultery.
Tried to cover it up.
And even arranged for someone to die.

If that sounds like the kind of headline we read about modern politicians… you’re not wrong.

But I’m not talking about a politician.

I’m talking about King David.

The man who wrote many of the Psalms.
The man the Bible calls “a man after God’s own heart.”

God doesn’t use perfect people.

He uses repentant ones.

That’s one of the most powerful lessons in my book Opinionated, Not Judgmental.

Broken people are not disqualified from God’s work.

Sometimes they’re exactly the kind of people He chooses.

📖 Psalm 51:10
“Create in me a clean heart, O God…”

War in the Middle East is dominating headlines again.

Missiles. Retaliation. Fear.
Everyone has an opinion.

But before we react… it’s worth asking:

What does Scripture say about moments like this?

The Bible never promised a peaceful world.
In fact, Jesus warned we would hear of “wars and rumors of wars.”

The question isn’t whether conflict will exist.

The question is how Christians respond to it.

Do we panic?

Do we rage online?

Or do we remember the posture Scripture calls us to:

Pray for Jerusalem.
Love your enemies.
Overcome evil with good.
Humble ourselves before God.

The world may be at war.

But the Christian response hasn’t changed.

Swipe through these verses that have helped me keep faith over fear.

If you find this encouraging, save it for later and share it with someone who needs perspective today.

I need to tell you something.

I’m not perfect.

I still get angry.
I still have thoughts I wish I didn’t have.
I still judge people when I should be judging myself.

And I’m a Christian.

A lot of people think becoming a Christian means you stop struggling.

It doesn’t.

It means you finally become aware of it.

Paul described this tension in Romans 7:19:
“For the good that I want to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.”

Christianity was never about pretending to be perfect.

It’s about recognizing we aren’t… and turning to the only one who is.

I’m not perfect.

I’m forgiven.

And that difference changes everything.

“There is one Lawgiver…”

That verse should make every Christian pause.

Because most of us say God is the Judge…

But then we step into conversations like prosecutors instead of witnesses.

There’s a difference between conviction and condemnation.
Between truth and superiority.
Between being right… and acting righteous.

If people feel tense around your beliefs, it might not be your theology.

It might be your posture.

This is the heart behind Opinionated, Not Judgmental.

Conviction without cruelty.
Truth without pride.

“It’s supposed to be hard.”

That line from A League of Their Own hits different when you apply it to faith.

Loving people who disagree with you? Hard.
Holding conviction without cruelty? Hard.
Staying calm when you’re provoked? Hard.

But easy doesn’t build character.

Jesus never promised easy.
He said take up your cross.
He said love your enemies.
He said forgive.

If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it.

The hard is what makes it holy.

This is the heartbeat of Opinionated, Not Judgmental — conviction without cruelty. Truth without pride.

A fellow Christian told me:

“When we speak God’s Word, the Holy Spirit sharpens it. People are going to feel judged.”

And I agree… partly.

The Word convicts.
The Spirit moves.
But tone still matters.

There’s a difference between conviction and condemnation.

James 4:12 reminds us:
“There is one Lawgiver…”

It’s not my job to play judge.
It’s my job to reflect Christ.

Truth doesn’t need arrogance to be powerful.
And love doesn’t weaken conviction.

That tension is what Opinionated, Not Judgmental is all about.

Honored to be featured in today’s Palo Alto Daily Post discussing outrage culture, civil discourse, and my new book Opinionated, Not Judgmental.

It’s especially meaningful because years ago I had the privilege of serving as an editor at the Post. Coming full circle like this is humbling.

Huge thank you to Dave Price for taking the time and for creating space for thoughtful conversation in a culture that often rewards the opposite.

Five things you’ll probably judge me for…

1️⃣ I don’t care what certain people think of me.
2️⃣ I stopped correcting everyone.
3️⃣ I don’t chase relationships.
4️⃣ I’m unashamedly Christian.
5️⃣ I turn off my phone when it ruins my peace.

Former keyboard warrior.
Recovered outrage addict.
Much more peaceful human.

I used to think defending truth meant responding to everything.
Now I know: peace is more powerful than proving a point.

You don’t have to win the comments section to live with conviction.

Conviction is what you hold.
Judgment is how you treat.

We all get it wrong sometimes.

Even when we’re passionate. Even when we’re right about the issue.

We lose our temper. We say things that cut too deep. We post out of anger instead of wisdom… and afterward we feel it—that conviction in our chest.

Conviction isn’t meant to crush us. It’s meant to change us.

That’s why repentance is one of the most underrated parts of being opinionated. Repentance doesn’t mean I was wrong about the issue—it means I’m willing to own my impact.

James says to be “quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger” (James 1:19).
And Romans says, “as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men” (Romans 12:18).

Sometimes it’s not just “I’m sorry.”
Sometimes it’s repair. Rebuilding. Reaching out. Saying, “I miss you.”

Because the world has seen enough loud Christians. What it needs more of… is humble ones.

👇 Is there someone you need to repair with today?

Some of the bravest moments in life aren’t when we speak—they’re when we listen.

“We’re told to ‘stand our ground’ and ‘speak our truth,’ but sometimes, the most courageous thing you can do is to sit down, shut up, and listen.”

That line came out of a season where I realized I could be passionate, even “right,” and still be wrong in my posture. Listening isn’t weakness. It’s strength under control.

Save this for the next hard conversation—and send it to someone who needs a reminder today.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”

We heard that a thousand times as kids… but is it biblical?

Ecclesiastes 10 has been wrecking me lately because Solomon keeps contrasting wisdom and foolishness—and he makes it clear: words matter. A little foolishness can ruin what took years to build (Ecclesiastes 10:1). And he says, “The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool shall swallow him up.” (Ecclesiastes 10:12)

Proverbs backs it up:
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21)
“Reckless words pierce like a sword.” (Proverbs 12:18)

So no—words can hurt.

But here’s my takeaway: the wiser we become, the less words control us. Wisdom doesn’t pretend words are harmless. Wisdom just refuses to hand them the keys to our peace.

👇 Question: What’s a sentence someone said to you that took years to unlearn?

Last night’s State of the Union was a masterclass in political theater.

Standing ovations on cue. Stone faces on cue. One side cheering, the other side seated—sometimes even when the underlying issue has broad support with everyday Americans. That’s the point. It’s not always about policy. It’s about signaling. It’s about tribes.

And the Bible isn’t neutral about division.
Jesus warned: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation… and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.” (Matthew 12:25, KJV)
And Proverbs says God hates the one who “soweth discord among brethren.” (Proverbs 6:16–19, KJV)

Politics will do everything it can to pit neighbor against neighbor—especially in election seasons—because outrage motivates. But I don’t want to be programmed by the performance.

I can have convictions without contempt. I can care about truth without treating people like enemies.

Last night, my son asked me to pray for his bully… and I wasn’t ready for how hard that would be.

He’s 9. His bully is 11. They don’t go to the same school, but they run in the same sports circles. Yesterday at a basketball game, the kid shoved my son hard. I watched him hit the floor and lie there in pain… and I felt my vision go white. I was furious.

I was bullied as a kid, so watching my son go through that trauma hit me deep.

And then—bedtime—my son says, “Dad, can we pray for him?”

That’s Matthew 5:44 in real life: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”
Not weakness. Strength.

Praying for him doesn’t excuse what happened. It doesn’t remove boundaries or accountability.
It just refuses to let bitterness win (Romans 12:21).

This is the heartbeat of Opinionated, Not Judgmental: truth with love… conviction without condemnation… choosing a Christlike posture when my emotions want something else.

If your patriotism depends on who’s in office… that’s not patriotism. That’s partisanship.

You don’t have to agree with every policy or every leader to celebrate the Olympics. These athletes trained for years, sacrificed, and earned the right to represent our country on the world stage.

We can criticize what deserves criticism. We can fight for improvement.
But if politics has turned even “USA” into a loyalty test… we’ve lost the plot.

One of the most important distinctions in Opinionated, Not Judgmental is this:

Being opinionated is about the convictions I hold.
Being judgmental is about how I treat people because of those convictions.

Scripture calls us to convictions (Matthew 5:13–16), and it calls us to carry them with love and humility (John 13:35, 1 Corinthians 13:4–5).

Truth matters. But truth spoken without love becomes a weapon—not a bridge (Ephesians 4:15).

That’s the tension: conviction without condemnation.

I made a $1,000 bet with my friend Kiki during the 2020 election… and it cost me way more than money.

I eventually paid the bet, but by then the story had already spread, trust had already been damaged, and politics had rewritten the friendship. We haven’t spoken since.

What wrecked me most wasn’t losing $1,000.

It was realizing how quickly I was willing to prioritize being “right” over being loving.

1 Corinthians 13:1 hit me like a brick: “If I… do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.”

That’s what I became for a season—noise.

This was a turning point for me… and a big reason I wrote Opinionated, Not Judgmental.

“Separation of church and state” gets used like a mic drop—especially when Christian values come up.

But here’s the thing: that phrase isn’t in the Constitution. It actually comes from an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson, and it’s often misunderstood.

The First Amendment provides a few key protections, including:
✅ government can’t establish a religion
✅ government can’t stop the free exercise of religion

So the real conversation isn’t “keep faith out of public life.” It’s: how do we debate values and policy with clarity, fairness, and respect—without turning each other into enemies?

That’s exactly the heartbeat of Opinionated, Not Judgmental.

The loudest thing in your life isn’t always the most important thing.

Elijah had front-row seats to the wind, the earthquake, and the fire—but God chose to speak in a whisper. That’s such a correction for me, because I’m tempted to look for God in the dramatic… while ignoring Him in the quiet.

If you feel distracted, reactive, or constantly “on,” maybe the answer isn’t more input. Maybe it’s less noise.

Scroll through—then ask yourself: What’s one thing you need to turn down so you can tune in to God again?

Jesus didn’t stand for “nice.” He stood for love + truth.

In John 8, everyone remembers the grace:
“Let the one without sin cast the first stone.”

But the part we skip is what shows His heart just as clearly:
“Go… and sin no more.”

That’s not condemnation. That’s love that calls us higher.

The tension is real: as Christians, how do we stand firm in truth without sounding harsh… and show grace without watering everything down?

For me, it comes back to this: Jesus was 100% grace and 100% truth—at the same time.

I wasted years arguing with strangers online.

During my “keyboard warrior” season, my mood was dictated by whatever some random person posted on Facebook. I felt duty-bound to respond to what I thought were lies, mistruths, and spin… and I was miserable.

I wasn’t present for my wife and kids. I damaged lifelong friendships. And it was time I’ll never get back.

Then I finally paused… and when I listened to God, I heard one word: “Stop.”

So I did.

And my life has been exponentially better ever since—relationships first, health first, peace first. I stopped drinking, lost 60 pounds, and it inspired me to write Opinionated, Not Judgmental.

If you’re stuck in the cycle, consider this your sign: put the phone down and have real conversations with real people. We won’t agree on everything—and we don’t have to. We can disagree with grace.

Matthew 7:1–5 is one of the most quoted passages back to Christians:

“Judge not…”

And I get why—nobody wants to feel condemned.
But this verse is often used as a shield to avoid any truth, accountability, or correction.

Jesus isn’t calling us to moral silence. He’s calling us to humility.

He doesn’t say “ignore the speck.”
He says: remove the plank first—check your heart, your motives, your hypocrisy—then you can actually help someone with clarity and love.

That’s the tension Christians feel:
How do I stand firm in my faith and love my neighbor as myself?

For me, it comes down to this: discernment without condemnation.
Truth without love becomes a weapon. Love without truth becomes vague.

👇 Question: Have you ever had Matthew 7 quoted at you—and was it fair?

I visited the Richard Nixon Presidential Library yesterday and walked out thinking about one quote that feels too relevant right now:

“Those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.”

History hasn’t been kind to Nixon—and yes, he messed up. But he’s also one of the most misjudged presidents in modern history. He worked with a Democratic Congress to pass landmark legislation like Title IX, the Clean Air Act, and the Endangered Species Act… and he opened the door to China in a way that reshaped global trade for decades.

He’s my 5th favorite president because he crossed the aisle for the good of the country, he wasn’t a quitter, and after years of losses he still left a winning legacy.

This is exactly what Opinionated, Not Judgmental is about: holding strong convictions without turning people into enemies—and refusing to let hatred destroy us.

👇 Agree or disagree: Is Nixon judged fairly today?

Third grade field trip to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda. Nixon is the only California born president and my fifth all time favorite president.

As the only president in history to resign from office, Nixon’s amazing legacy is clouded by scandal. But we can’t let that take away from all the good he did — both domestically and abroad.

This library is a real gem. Make sure to check it out!

The Super Bowl used to be one of those rare moments where we could all just… be human.

Fun rivalry. Shared laughs. A few heated takes about commercials. Then we moved on.

But yesterday felt different. It honestly felt like there were two halftime shows—one for the left and one for the right—and we were forced to choose.

And that breaks my heart.

Forces of evil have done an incredible job convincing us to hate each other—not just disagree.

That’s exactly why I wrote Opinionated, Not Judgmental: because I’ve lived the outrage cycle, contributed to it, and had to learn the difference between conviction and condemnation.

We can have strong beliefs without dehumanizing people.
We can disagree without destroying relationships.
We can lower the temperature and love better.

👇 Question: Did you feel that division yesterday too—or am I reading into it?

I keep seeing people post: “If you voted for ___, unfollow me.”

I get the frustration. I really do.
And there is a time to unfollow toxic people.

But if “unfollow me” becomes our default response to disagreement… we’re building echo chambers—and echo chambers don’t produce wisdom. They produce certainty without humility.

Real growth happens in real conversation. Not online screaming matches—face-to-face, human-to-human dialogue where our beliefs can be challenged… and refined.

If you don’t share my values, I still want you here.
Challenge me. Push back respectfully. Let’s talk.

Because conviction without love turns into condemnation fast.

👇 Question: When is it healthy to unfollow someone—and when is it just avoidance?

We need to stand against the divisions we see on social media around immigration, politics, and social issues. Division is the name of the game and the outrage and algorithms just fuel conflict.

As Christians, we’re called to speak truth with humility and love rather than hostility, remembering that Jesus loves everyone equally. We encourage pausing before posting to ask if our response reflects Christ’s example, and share how my book ‘Opinionated Not Judgmental’ explores navigating this tension between having convictions and maintaining compassion.

I discuss how culture has taught us that disagreement equals hatred, but we explore how real love means showing compassion even during tension and telling the truth with grace.

I talk about losing friendships over faith and politics, and how Jesus modeled walking in both truth and grace without using truth as a weapon.

I emphasize that you can love someone while disagreeing with them, honor their humanity while holding firm convictions, and that this balance—where truth matters but love must lead—is what being opinionated without being judgmental truly means.

Today I am exploring the powerful story of the woman caught in adultery from John chapter 8, where Jesus demonstrates the difference between judgment and conviction.

I discuss how the religious leaders brought the woman before Jesus seeking to trap Him, but instead of shaming her, Jesus showed grace and compassion.

I talk about how Jesus’ response—Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone—reveals His heart of offering grace before correction and love before law. We emphasize that judgment crushes people, but conviction frees them, and we share how this principle inspired the book Opinionated Not Judgmental, because truth without love isn’t Biblical, and love without truth isn’t love at all.

I share my journey of stepping back from social media debates after almost five years of being known for clapping back with loaded rebuttals.

Even though I still see posts I disagree with and feel the urge to respond, I’ve found a peace that reminds me I don’t need to fight every battle or prove every point.

In my new book, Opinionated Not Judgmental, I explore how I learned to stop performing and start reflecting, to speak truth without losing my witness. We discuss how you can be bold without being bitter, clear without being cruel, and how true wisdom is surrender to something better, not silence.

🎉 Happy 9th Birthday to Lincoln — our family’s official main character (for today only 😉) 🎉 11/16

From basketball courts to football fields to baseball diamonds, this kid gives everything he does 100%. Straight A’s in school, Adventure Guides with Dad, and a heart for Jesus that shines through in everything he does.

And this year? He published a book on Amazon. At eight years old. Who does that?! Only the main character, apparently. 😆

Lincoln, your drive, curiosity, and confidence inspire us every day. You’ve had such a big year, and we know the next one will be even better. Keep leading with kindness, keep chasing big dreams, and keep shining that light God gave you.

Happy 9th Birthday, buddy — today, the world really does revolve around you. ❤️🌟
