Zeke watched a documentary about Flat Earth believers. It led to a discussion about how groups are formed around thoughts and how people can (or can't) reach these groups from outside them. We also discussed cancel culture after Chris's boss received a text from someone who didn't like a Facebook comment.

In this episode, Chris is joined by our friend Justin Waybright to talk about the state of journalism. Justin spent a few years as a reporter and uses his firsthand experience to talk about what news and storytelling has become.

In this episode, we are joined by Pastor Jamie Wright from Grace Life Church in Culloden, WV. We talk about how we can apply the principles of Grace and the Finished Work of Jesus Christ to current events.

How should Christians be responding to things we see on the "news?" How can we extend Grace to those we may disagree with, and how should we be interacting with those who are marginalized in society? We do not shy away from hot topics like transgender people in the Military and Same sex marriage.

It's time to have a very serious, drama-free conversation about Immigration in the United States. It's time to ask the important question "Who benefits?" when discussing this issue. What is true about our southern border and those who reside on the other side of it? It was through music that Chris and Zeke came to a new understanding of how the government is lying to us and has been for a very long time.

JULY 22, 2017

It's been 440 days since we produced Episode Three on voting. Zeke and I have had a lot of personal changes in our lives and despite our best intention, we just couldn't get together to make podcasts. It's time to get things going again. 

In this episode we talk about the ascension and election of Donald Trump. As of the recording of the last episode, Cruz had just dropped out and Trump was the presumptive Republican nominee. We certainly couldn't have predicted how the election would turn out and all of the hype and drama that would follow.

Scripture Matthew 7:12 “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/mat.7.12.kjv Jessica Smith wrote this piece about the key to morality being CONSENT: https://www.facebook.com/jess.bbg/posts/10156825610110693 Can I kick you out of my airplane, as long as I own it? Why do my children have a claim to my property? What about fraud? Morality is the distinction between right and wrong. For Christians, morality should be derived from God through scripture. How do people of different cultures honor Liberty and self-government and decide what “basic morals” are? Private property? Right to life? Non-aggression? Freedom from coercion?
