Our supply chains are now gummed up. Now we are starting to see empty shelves. Food is starting to be impacted. Christmas shopping is being affected. Our federal government is using the pandemic as an excuse "but the truth is that government diktats, handouts, and cronyism have catastrophically gummed up our supply chains, and it's getting worse." This quote is from a thoughtful article written by our guest on the Daily Signal. The same administration that made a mess in Afghanistan is now responsible for the bad policies that are severely impacting our supply chains. Basic food supplies eggs, milk, bread, etc., its all being hit. Our guest today holds a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University, a B.A. in economics and Political Science from McGill University and has traveled the world. He speaks fluent Spanish, French, Japanese and is conversational in Mandarin. We also take a look at the situation in Taiwan, and whether or not they are feeling the supply chain issues. The answer is revealing. Participants: Dr. Peter St. Onge, Dan Elmendorf

How many times have you heard predictions of Jesus' return that are associated with a date? Plenty for us. Today we take an honest look at the words of scripture as it relates to kingdom growth in history. Our guest has taught Bible for many years. he received his MA and JD. For a while he practiced law and continues to teach Bible. He taught at Whitworth University, where he served on the adjunct faculty for over 30 years. Participants: Bruce Gore, Dan Elmendorf

Are you rich? You may think that you don't have a million dollars, or a luxurious estate, so you are not rich. But what if you were in Afghanistan today and you were being hunted? What if you had trouble finding food because you happened to live in Venezuela or North Korea? As we reflect on it, we find that we are much richer than we at first think. The book of James in the Bible has much practical teaching as concerns our duty that is required of us by God. In the fifth chapter it talks about being rich. Particularly if we are rich and have ignored the poor, or worse, have fraudulently withheld wages from those who worked for us. God says that the cries of those who we have defrauded actually reach the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. Truth be known, many of us live in luxury if we are honest with ourselves. The effect of this is to "fatten" our hearts. We increasingly practice a self-indulgence. Such a situation is seen by God as being equivalent to wearing garments that are moth-eaten. Or having silver or gold that is corroded. God says that if we are rich and we place our hopes and comfort and security on our riches, then we need to weep and howl for the miseries that are coming on us. Sobering isn't it? Today we talk with the organizing pastor of Trinity Church in Syosset, NY. Trinity Church is now in its tenth year. The church is located at 231 Jackson Ave. in Syosset, and meets at 1:00 PM each Sunday. Participants: Pastor Ben Miller, Dan Elmendorf

God wants His people to be joyful! Singing the Psalms is a sure way to glorify the Lord while we are using his actual hymnbook! Do you want a new found joy in your worship service? Well, sing the psalms. They are God's gift to your church and your home. Today we talk with a pastor whose church actively sings the psalms. We also discuss children in worship and how they participate in this wonderful blessing in the service. Later in the program we discuss a quote that this pastor has pinned to his Twitter account. It is this: "Marriages are like nuclear reactors.

As C.S. Lewis once put it, people are �no mere mortals.�

The stakes are much higher than we realize, because your family is where you make and shape people who will live forever."

We also talk about a new book he has written with the title: No Mere Mortals

- Marriage for People Who Will Live Forever. This book is available at nomeremarriage.com Our guest writes a blog at tobyjsumpter.com

Do your children join you in the worship service, or do you send them off away from the assembled people of God? Its certainly popular today to have things like children's church and such. We certainly need nurseries for mothers who are nursing, and for noisy children. But increasingly, at least here at the ministry, we are seeing a renewed interest in integrated worship. The children who join their parents for worship as a family, are able to grow up spiritually and be a part of the covenant renewal worship service. It was Jesus Himself who said: �Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.� Today we talk about children in the worship service. Our guest is a pastor, whose church practices this sort of wholesome worship. (See: https://christkirknc.com/) We find that integrated worship works very well, and there are ways to help the child learn how to be in the service without undue distractions to others. Participants: Rev. Duane Garner, Dan Elmendorf

What are some of the top news stories from the point of view of a key journalist of our times? COVID continues to be in the news. Are there highlights that are not being reported because news outlets are trying to be political? What have we learned about India? How about Israel? How is the vaccine doing? Is there anything being covered up? And the 3 November election. Now that documentation is continuing to build regarding fraud, what are some highlights? Will we ever get to the bottom of what transpired in the past presidential election? Today we talk with the contributing editor of The Gateway Pundit. He shares what events took place in his life - the education and experiences that helped him become an internationally-travelled auditor. How did these experiences help him in reporting the ignored news of the past election? His auditing in the financial corporate world intersects with some of the principles of integrity that are involved in a forensic audit in the election. Participants: Joe Hoft, Dan Elmendorf

Our guest today, shares with us some information about Afghanistan. Its history, the conflicts, the durability of the people in the country, and what their expectations are regarding issues like the modern woke issues that our embassy were pushing more recently. What our leaders did was embarrassing. Our guest covers mission creep and how our mission changed from what it was 20 years ago. When America came in to Afghanistan originally, we had a clear goal of winning, and restoring order. The goal morphed over the years, and we should have exited Afghanistan long before this was allowed to happen. We had deaf ears when it came to learning from history re: Afghanistan. There is no question, based on our guest's information and our own information, that many people remain in Afghanistan, despite the lies we are being told by our own government. We have incontrovertible evidence to the contrary of what we are being told. We intentionally left Bagram air base - in the middle of the night. All the high tech military equipment has been virtually handed over to our enemies. The military men and women who laid down their lives in Afghanistan, have been made a mockery of. We have betrayed our allies, and in fact did not even communicate with them, prior to our hasty and not-well-executed departure. We handed over to the Taliban, lists of people who were not on their side. Now, what is happening are house to house executions. It is an absolute mess, and our enemies have all our equipment. Night vision goggles, Black Hawk helicopters, small arms, ammo, tanks. Its an absolute mess on the ground. Christians are being executed. This appears to be more than a lack of judgment. We can only conclude that it was the plan. There is a HUGE lesson to be learned from all this. If you don't have time to listen to the whole interview, at least listen to the final 2 minutes to hear the lesson. Its biblical. Participants: Dr. Peter Hammond, Dan Elmendorf

Back by popular demand - We have heard of rioting and looting in the nation of South Africa. How bad is it? Perhaps you feel frustrated that we have a news media that either doesn't seem to care, of if they do cover it, the information becomes skewed as political talking points shield the truth from being told! Its a pernicious problem for sure. Today we talk with the Founder and Director of Frontline Missions, based Cape Town. Our guest shares with us some stats regarding how many people have been killed, the size of the damages, the number of shopping centers shut down, and even the dwindling supply of some essential medicines due to Pharmacy looting. The Christians there have used the disaster as an opportunity to show the love of Christ and to help people in very tangible ways.

Have you paid attention to the headlines lately? "Afghanistan now controlled by the Taliban, Inflation, Men in Ladies Bathrooms, COVID, Gas Prices Rising, No More Energy Independence" - the list goes on. As we observe the times that we are living in, it's easy to become jaded and discouraged. Today we step back a little and talk with a seasoned pastor. We consider some of these headlines and come away sober, yet encouraged. Yes, we are living in a delusional age. Yet, what did Jeremiah do in his time? Are there places where the gospel is making impressive inroads? We close with our guest quoting a line from St. Augustine: "Love God and do what you will." Participants: Dr. John Vance, Dan Elmendorf
