Hello there,
My name is Carson Wagner. If you’re someone who loves exploring a wide range of topics—from the humorous and lighthearted to the deeply serious—you’ve landed in the right place. I strive to present unapologetic and honest takes on politics and culture from a Christian, Gen Z conservative living in the heart of California.
I write, primarily, because there is a terrifying lack of people speaking truth into our broken, twisted culture. Too many voices bow to comfort, peer pressure, and political correctness, while truth is suffocated under cowardice. Too often, the voices shouting the loudest are the most dishonest ones, and the quiet voices—the ones that actually matter—go unheard. I’m not interested in playing nice with lies or softening reality to make anyone feel better. My goal is simple: I wish to say what others are too afraid to say.
Also, Jesus Christ, the carpenter from Nazareth, is Lord of all. Not just of my private life and not just of church pews on Sunday morning. He is Lord of politics, Lord of culture, Lord of nations, Lord of everything. Every president, every tyrant, every influencer, every businessman, every pastor—all of them will bow. His crown extends over Capitol Hill, over Hollywood, over Wall Street, and over Silicon Valley. The kingdoms of this world are not neutral—they either submit to Christ or they rebel against Him. And rebellion against the Creator has only one end: defeat.
This is not a space for the timid or the lukewarm. This is a space for those who desire truth, who are tired of the lies shoved down their throats, and who know deep down that culture cannot save itself. If you’re here, you’re part of something much, much deeper than the lies outside.
Let's get to work.
“‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.’”
J.R.R. Tolkien
