  • Episode #84 - Politically Correct Stupidity, The Danger of Platform, and a LIVE Rant

    In this episode of the Happy Rant Ted, Ronnie, and Barnabas rant about the following:

    • What in the world is wrong with people? The college students in this video are incapable of declaring obvious truths for the fear of offending people. Of course, we might be afraid of offending them by airing our true opinions too. 
      • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfO1veFs6Ho
      • What are we supposed to do with big-platform ministries that seem, pretty obviously, to be ruining pastors? Is the platform sinful? Is it just a good ol' boys club? What should our response be?
      • Big announcement, or rather, big tease - we are planning to have a LIVE HAPPY RANT in October in Louisville. We discuss some details and more are to come.

        • Episode #82 - Bro Code, Gender Reveal Parties, and Silly Sermon Titles
          In this episode of the Happy Rant Ted, Ronnie, and Barnabas rant about the following:

          D'Angelo Russell, a Los Angeles Lakers rookie, has been blasted in the media for breaking "bro code" by recording a video of a team mate admitting to cheating on his fiancee. But which is the real brach of code - filming or cheating or both?
          In recent years pregnancy announcements and gender reveal parties have become a cottage industry. What is this insanity?
          Why do churches - especially mega churches - feel the need to come up with pithy sermon titles and clever promotional plans?
