The Iranian Battleplan Feb 14, 2024

Show notes

Shia Muslims are behind Hamas, the Houthi movement, and Hezbollah and many other independent militias around the world doing great damage. What is their end game? Many people in Washington, DC, and elsewhere fail to see things at 20,000 feet, but there’s a larger chess game being played and it’s important we understand what that chess game is. Iran is taking advantage of US weakness. They see America as a declining power, and not to be feared. Make no mistake, Iran is on the move, and they are trying to drive the US out of the Middle East so they can exert their power.

Knowing Your University Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

If one of the good things that comes out of October 7th and the Hamas incursion and the Israeli response in Gaza and the protests around the world is that people start waking up to what’s happening at the universities they favor and start looking for other universities to support that are closer to their values and what they believe in, that’s a good thing. Listen in to hear some of the things that are taking place on the campus. It’s essential that you know what a university teaches before you send your child there or before you support it.

The Lies About Ukraine Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

The lies spreading about Ukraine and Vladimir Zelensky include accusations about declaring martial law, canceling elections, shutting down opposition parties, hiding private offshore accounts, and gaining financially from international aid. In this episode, I address each of these rumors directly and make the case for a noble Ukrainian cause. If the United States goes weak in the face of Russia, we will pay for it internationally.

How Did We Get Christmas? Dec 13, 2023

Show notes

Listen in as I go back in history and describe how we got our current Christmas celebrations. How did we land on Dec 25th? How did Santa Claus get mixed in? What about the myths about coming down the chimney and a sleigh pulled by reindeer? Why do we decorate a tree? Some of these have an inspiring backstory while some are a bit silly. I encourage you to take Christmas in hand, make it meaningful, and build memorable rituals in the Christmas season.

Racism and Christian Theology Nov 29, 2023

Show notes

This episode is primarily a call to my Christian brothers and sisters to consider their theology carefully as it pertains to Israel. Whichever eschatology (end times) interpretation you lean toward, let’s remember first that God loves and died for all of us, including Arabs; and second, many who live in Gaza (some 3,000) are in fact Christians. Don’t allow your support for Israel to lead to a disregard of other people and ethnicities.

Don't Fund Your Enemies Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

Where is your money going? If you give to a school or university, I encourage you to do your research and ensure that it is not being used to fund teachings and beliefs antithetical to your values. Amidst the bloodshed occurring in Israel and Palestine, vile and dehumanizing protests are bringing some rather shocking university ideals into the light. Don't continue to donate to places that support morals that oppose yours.
