While the episodes have been fewer these days, we haven't forgotten our true calling as Contraratics. There's still craziness in the world and we need to keep preaching to ourselves that defying evil and obeying righteousness is good. Go and do GOOD. 

We spent the weekend shooting and took the drive back to talk about some important topics - some related, some not to shooting. Calvin Higgins joins us and offers a welcome perspective as a teenager. Many topics are covered and it's worth a listen despite the road noise.

NONE

This episode may involve a heavier dose of gun/beer nerd talk than normal but the conversation eventually drifts into the principles that undergird our relationship to government and to one another. If you don't enjoy the nerd talk hopefully we'll give you a seed to plant as you weld defiance and obedience into one inseparable whole.

Beers:

Bourbon County Stout by Goose Island

Matryoshka by Fort George Brewery

It was good to get back in the saddle and heat up the mics. A lot has happened in the world since January but the same God is on the throne and we submit to him. We bring his lordship to bear on all the crazy things going on in our world. 

Drinks:

Sazerac Rye Whiskey

Knob Creek Rye

Trump's presidency seems to be ending in just as much controversy and uproar as it began. Is the insanity and tumult just beginning or we somewhere in the middle? What we do know is this story is being written by the Sovereign One. It's not happenstance. 

Beers:

Pecan Pie Porter by Backwoods Brewing Co

Bourbon County Brand Stout by Goose Island Brewing

Things seem crazy right now both politically and even daily tasks like going to the grocery store. We aren't sure they'll get easier anytime soon but we do know that God is ordaining this whole thing. We rest in that knowledge and encourage you to do the same as we bid farewell to 2020. Let's see what God's going to do in 2021.

Black Butte XXXII by Deschutes Brewing KBS Mackinac Maple Fudge Stout by Founders Brewing

We huddle up in the Lugg garage and talk about a few of our favorite things. We also brush up on some of the insane things going on in our state and national politics. If there was EVER a time to weld defiance and obedience into one inseparable whole, it's now.

Beer:

Ground Control by Ninkasi Brewing Co

Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Madeira Casks by Woodinville Whiskey

We are joined by our Russian Insider once again - exclusive you might even call it - to discuss the most recent and last debate before the November 3 election. While the election will have the most serious of consequences, we found moments to laugh. Enjoy.

Beer:

Odin's Gift by Odin Brewing Company

Dragon's Milk White by New Holland Brewing

We are joined this episode by our friend Vic who provides a refreshing perspective of how he views his job while being a faithful Christian and citizen. It’s good to know that there are those behind the badge with this principled perspective. Be encouraged and challenged.

Shadow Rising by Skookum Brewery

No Billboards in Space by Urban Family Brewing

The episode kicks off with about 20 minutes of hot cigar talk but the whiskey and cigars then fuel our discussion of how undisciplined and unprincipled resistance to tyranny only gets you more of the same. The French Revolution was not a "success" but ours was. What set them apart? 

This and other ramblings are packed into this lively episode!
