There is a belief held by some Christians that the United States is God's chosen nation-state for bringing about God's kingdom on earth. This episode shows why that belief is false.

Years ago, I was teaching a class about the stained-glass windows in my church. As I was studying them, I saw something I hadn't noticed before: Judas had red hair. I became curios - I had to know...why was Judas depicted as having red hair? The answer may surprise you.

In this episode, I dive into the comments I’ve received from Trump supporters—some silly, some revealing—and explore what they tell us about the best way to influence them. Spoiler: it’s not through mic-drop moments or online debates. Instead, I share a powerful, simple strategy to counter the MAGA movement and make a real impact. Join me, and Quark, as we challenge assumptions, break down flawed arguments, and explore how faith and reason should guide our political choices. Ready to change minds?

Lent : a brief history and a simple discipline
This episode was sparked by a meme I kept encountering on the internet. 
I answer questions like: When did Lent start?  Why is it 40 days? Why do people give up things for Lent?
And, the i offer a suggestion for a Lenten habit, and you don't even have to give anything up!

Donald Trump is not just a horrible President, but a morally bankrupt person who seems almost universally drawn towards cruel, insensitive, and ethically indefensible positions. BUT nevertheless, he sits in the White House with a belief that the power of the Presidency is absolute and unquestionable. And if we are honest, those of us who oppose his leadership have not been terribly effective in our opposition. Why? This episode explains why we fail and how we need to change in order to be more successful in the future.

Many of us believer that Donald Trump would love to become King. (Let's hope he never succeeds!) Strangely, I would argue the role he has reinstated, from royal courts of old, is the jester. The episode explains how, what their function has been, how it has changed recently, and how there may be some good news in all of this.

Donald Trump is seemingly impervious to almost all attempts to get him to rethink his policies and decisions. Frustratingly, he has all the wisdom, thoughtfulness, and intentionality of a bunch of drunk monkeys (my apologies to monkeys everywhere.) So it is puzzling to realize, and even more confusing to admit, that he is arguably the most successful politician since FDR. This episode asks the question: is there some sort of magical ability or super power that we haven't yet recognized?

There are far-right conservative Christians who have supported Trump, been invited to Mar-a-Lago, and made it know that they wish to institute Christian law in the United States during his Presidency. If they get their way, they will initially base this law on the biblical Ten Commandments. This episode looks at the moral disconnect between wanting the Ten Commandments to be the law of the land under a guy who doesn't seem to follow them at all.

There is a new group of young, hyper-conservative, male Christians who have emerged on the religious and political scene. But, this happens all the time, so why is this different? They are more tech-savvy than those who have come before. They are more vocal and confrontational than most of their predecessors. And they have ties to some pretty powerful people in the Administration, and beyond. This episode will explain clearly who they are and why you should be concerned.
