At the heart of the Protestant Reformation was a bold claim: every believer, guided by the Holy Spirit, has the right and responsibility to interpret Scripture. The Reformers didn’t trust Rome to preserve sound doctrine. They believed the Magisterium had become corrupt, adding to Scripture and distorting the gospel. Their solution was to return to Scripture itself—sola scriptura.

How should Christians respond to Pride Month?

Maybe not with a fight. Maybe not with a post.

What if the most unexpected response… is compassion?

This post is an excerpt from Chapter 1 of my book, Common Protestant Objections to Catholic Doctrine. In this chapter, I begin to explore the foundational differences between Protestant and Catholic views of authority, tradition, and the Church. Drawing from my years as a Protestant pastor and my journey into the Catholic faith, I walk through some of the most common objections I once held myself—and how I came to see them differently.

In a time when deconstruction has become a common response to church hurt, disillusionment, and doctrinal confusion, many are walking away from the faith traditions they once trusted. But what if the roots of this movement go deeper than we think?

In this blog, Kevin Mays explores the surprising irony that Protestantism itself is built on deconstruction—tracing its history of splintering and reinvention across thousands of denominations. With honesty and insight, he shares how his own journey through doubt and questioning didn’t lead him away from Christianity but deeper into its historical roots—eventually into the Catholic Church.

Read now and reflect on whether the Church Jesus founded is meant to be endlessly reinvented—or faithfully preserved.

Paul’s concern is this: our lives should make the gospel believable.

When we live out love, purity, discipline, and faithfulness—even in the daily grind—it protects the message. It makes people pause and say, “Maybe there’s something to this Jesus after all.”

In today’s culture, aging is often seen as something to fight off or hide. But in the Church, age is meant to be honored.Experience is sacred. And Paul’s vision is a relational model of discipleship, where every generation lifts the next.

This passage reminds us that women are not sidelined in the kingdom—they are essential. Their faithfulness, teaching, and presence are foundational for the spiritual formation of others.

In today’s culture, older men are often either ignored or idolized—viewed as irrelevant or unteachable. But Paul sees them as essential to the health of the church.

We need men who are anchored, not angry.
Who are gentle, not jaded.
Who are wise, not bitter.
Who model what it looks like to grow older in grace—not just in age.
