I’ve been accused of lying for months — because I said the quiet part out loud. Are Protestants actually worshiping God at all?
In this episode of Fire Branded, I respond to accusations that I’m “lying” or committing theological fraud — not because what I said was false, but because I said something that carries consequences. (LINKS are at the bottom)

The controversy began with a simple explanation of worship. But once the implications were allowed to stand, the backlash followed. That reaction wasn’t surprising. It’s what happens when clarity replaces comfort.

This episode is about more than one argument or one debate. It’s about what happens when Christians avoid drawing lines, confuse categories, and substitute politeness for precision. It’s about why the Catholic Mass is not just another Sunday service, why catechesis has collapsed, and why calling everything “compassion” has left both faith and culture hollowed out.

This is not an attack. It’s a refusal to pretend confusion is harmless.
