Are You An Accident of History? Does Life Have Meaning and Purpose? What is the Truth of Things?

The root of the cultural chaos we are experiencing is a surrender of the Truth of things!

Today Jack takes you inside a viral confrontation over women’s locker rooms, presses into why definitions matter for safety and law, and asks a harder question most debates skip: are we created with purpose and order, or are we accidents of history free to redefine reality on the fly?

From that starting point, everything else follows—coherent policy, compassionate boundaries, and a moral ecology that protects the vulnerable.

We share the exchange of a Lesbian Black women with a liberal state senator as a case study in clashing worldviews: identity claims versus biological reality, the language of “inclusion” versus the lived experience of women who need privacy and protection. Then we widen the frame to children, adoption, and natural law. If public institutions treat bodies as arbitrary and family as interchangeable, who absorbs the cost? We wrestle with that question honestly and keep kids at the center.

We also examine the Church’s Shepherds, who are responsible for proclaiming the Truth...who instead struggle to speak with clarity, highlighting moments of institutional confusion and the courage of leaders like Bishop Strickland who ask for fidelity to doctrine.

Rather than despair, we pivot to formation: how small, faithful communities and daily habits can renew minds and rebuild culture from the parish outward. Scripture’s promise—“you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”—is presented as a roadmap to real freedom, not license, and to love that is ordered, fruitful, and humane.

If you’re tired of “my truth” vs “your truth,” this conversation offers first principles, practical steps, and a battle plan for living the truth with charity. Subscribe and share with a friend who’s seeking after the Truth of things.
