The Staying Free Podcast

Freedom, Faith, and The Fourth Turning ft. Parallel Mike [SFP100]

Listen Later

Reaching the 100th episode feels like crossing a threshold. In this conversation with returning guest and good friend Parallel Mike, I wanted to go deeper — into faith, family, and the fragility of our financial world.

We explore what it means to stay grounded in a time when everything feels inverted — from collapsing economies and manipulated markets, to the erosion of values that once defined the West. We talk about marriage, fatherhood, and the personal responsibility required to build meaning in a world that rewards distraction and decay.

Mike shares his warnings about the coming financial reset and the quiet construction of digital control systems. I question whether faith, consciousness, and discernment are the only anchors we have left.

It’s a conversation about facing what’s coming — and rediscovering what’s real.
