JOE ROGAN ASKS AN UNINTENTIONALLY PROFOUND QUESTION

Rogan recently complained that life and the human experience are intricate and complex, but we don't have a manual for how to live list best. Boy, do I have some good news for him. If he's looking for a book with life's answers, we've got a good one.

ANDY STANLEY FURTHER OFF THE RAILS

Andy Stanley's recent sermon included a portion that affirms homosexual couples in government marriages are welcomed as full members in his church. That's not something I'm going to yell about. It's sad, and I want to critique his arguments.

LESSON FROM T.S. ELIOT

I'm a huge fan of Eliot's writings. I was recently reintroduced to this quote from him: "Tend to your garden, or you'll eventually have to clear a forest." I want to explore the importance of doing the regular work of life to prevent later disasters.

SUPREME COURT PREVIEW

The Supreme Court starts hearings again this week for the new session. I'll give you a preview.

On This Episode:

LETTER TO MY CONGRESSMAN

My Congressman was just found out to be an adulterer. He should resign. I'll make my plea and tell you why it's important for him to leave Congress and pursue his marriage. We need to hold marriage high. Congressman Duncan can do that by resigning.

MY MESSAGE COLLEGE STUDENTS

I was asked to speak to college students about being a Christian conservative today. My message:

-Pursue your Roles and Responsibilities -- not your Rights and Dreams.

-Get what you can. Know what SHOULD be, but understand the system and get the wins you can.

-Live with the long view. Their great, great grandkids will see finished what they start, so just stay faithful.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE THOUGHT

My wife's car was stolen last year. I thought about the better way for justice to have worked then.

Cody and I cover a lot, including:

-Small steps to get started on the path to truth and beauty

-Does Christian exile contradict the Post-Mil view?

-Do modern Christians have an analog to use in the Bible?

RAUNCHY LAWMAKERS

I grew up being told that sexual sin and perversion were disqualifying for anyone looking for authority. Recently a Democrat candidate for State Senate in Virginia was exposed for having sex on a streaming site for money. The mayor of Burbank, CA was spanked with a paddle by a drag queen in California. Yes, these are disqualifying.

But where are we on calling for Lauren Boebert to resign? She's an adulteress, behaving like a raunchy teenager in public? Why is Govenor Kristi Noem, a married womanw ith children, facing no backlash for BRAZENLY -- and grossly -- committing adulterty and flaunting it with Corey Lewandewski?

Yes, I know we need "rescue from the Left." But are these my army? This is the force to defeat secularism? I have a lot to say about this on.

FOLLOW THE LEADER

Why did these figures emerge? It's because their movement's leader is like them. I have new audio to that end.

BORN THIS WAY?

From 2002 to 2012, I was told REPEATEDLY that I couldn't hold my position on marriage (marriage is between only one man and one woman) because LGBT people were hard-wired in their genetics for these attractions. I was called an anti-science bigot for not embracing these claims.

Did you know that now, 20 years later, the most Woke Left people are saying what I was saying in 2003? I'll provide audio from a WNYC show to prove it.

On This Episode:

LAWLESSNESS IN NEW MEXICO

The Governor of New Mexico issued an illegal decree regarding guns. My demeanor is always to say, "that thing in the news isn't as bad as the news outlets and algorithms want you to think it is. You can calm down." Because I'm like that, I hope it comes with some credibility that I'm saying: this is a big deal, and it has to stop.

END TIMES QUESTION

A listener asked a question about End Times and how our thinking about the end of the world shapes how we live right now.

CRIMINAL SENTENCES

I've hear some commentators bemoaning the harsh sentences given to those involved in the events at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021 while other criminals are given lenient sentences for serious crimes. My argument: they all deserve harsh punishments.

On This Episode

DRUG PRICE FIXING'S DOWNSIDE

A recent policy announcement would cap and set a price ceiling for some popular drugs. Both the "government shouldn't do that," and the "yay for cheap medicines" reactions are simplistic and immature. I want give you some deeper level thinking on policies like these.

A PROFOUND PARADIGM FOR MEANING

One commentator recently posited that we're miserable because our age says to find meaning, look first INWARD, second OUTWARD, and then finally, if you must, UPWARD. Real meaning is found the exact opposite way. I'll give details.

CHALLENING ELECTION DENIALISM

It's irresponsible to cast distrust on an election system without really strong evidence. I have a challenge on using words like "rigged" in a very precise way.

REFUTING “KINISM”

I came across an errant theology, that can lead to sinful

A GOVERNMENT LESSON

We know too little about what the Federal Government is and what its role is. It is an entity created by the States, so the States are supposed to be supreme over it. That paradigm has fallen. Even so, it's important that we know what is in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, so we know the specific job of the federal government.

RESPONSE TO A MEME

I keep seeing memes from the younger set bemoaning that life is just eating, sleeping, exercising, getting married, buying a house, and having kids. They find so meaning it, and it's making them miserable. We have an answer for this problem.

BIBLICAL LAW OF THE WEEK: EXODUS 21'S SLAVERY LAWS

The passages on slavery are hard if you are coming from America's history of racist, chattel slavery. I'll help clarify some of these laws.

On this Episode

DEBATE PREVIEW

There's a debate Wednesday night that some people (wrongly) think is important. I'll give you a preview of what SHOULD happen and also what WILL happen instead.

SMARTPHONES AND MARRIAGE

There's a fairly large study indicating major correlation between screen time and marriage troubles. I'll break it down and give some encouragement on how to stop your screen addictions.

FIRST "BAPTIST" CLEMSON

This church ordained a woman into the pastorate, bragged about it on social media, and I have some thoughts on their very lazy arguments.

BIBLICAL LAW SERIES

Deuteronomy has some laws that are hard to process. I'll process one of them with you in this section.

My original summary of this episode, I think, was really good. But this is my second try at uploading, so I'm out of cleverness.

We start by having a helpful back-and-forth about Christians and the State. I don't remember everything after that, but I know we discuss a slavery law in the Bible, why health care is a product (not a right), and a few other items.

Thanks for your patience as I got this fixed.
