a journalist's personal investigation of the evidence for Jesus

Lee Strobel

Mere Christianity

C.S. Lewis

In 'Mere Christianity', C.S. Lewis argues for the existence of God and defends Christian theology.

Lewis also addresses topics such as free will, morality, sexual ethics, and the institution of marriage.

1984

George Orwell

Published in 1949, '1984' is a cautionary tale by George Orwell that explores the dangers of totalitarianism. The novel is set in a dystopian future where the world is divided into three super-states, with the protagonist Winston Smith living in Oceania, ruled by the mysterious and omnipotent leader Big Brother. Winston works at the Ministry of Truth, where he rewrites historical records to conform to the Party's ever-changing narrative. He begins an illicit love affair with Julia and starts to rebel against the Party, but they are eventually caught and subjected to brutal torture and indoctrination. The novel highlights themes of government surveillance, manipulation of language and history, and the suppression of individual freedom and independent thought.

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Vincent Oshana, and Adam Sosnick break down the fallout after Charlie Kirk’s killing—including TMZ’s apology after laughter during their newsroom livestream that was not in response to his death, and Tommy Robinson’s massive “Unite the Kingdom” London rally where over 100,000 anti-immigration protesters clashed with police.
