In this personal conversation with my nephew Colin Kubik we talk about his life's journey that has brought him through Ukraine where he has found the roots from his grandparents.  He will be graduating from University on July 1, 2023.  His days are concerned about possible rocket attacks.  He works as a stand-up comedian and being a rare international student at the University.  You will learn interesting things from this candid interview.  

Christianity, oftentimes amongst skeptics, is made out to be nothing more than a fairytale but, in reality, Christianity is the most well-evidenced belief in existence. No other faith has as much proof of its accuracy than Christianity and the cumulative case becomes impossible to stand up against when faced honestly. Join us on Truth Be Told as we discuss the rationality and evidence of Christianity with theologian, apologist, and cold-case detective, J. Warner Wallace of Cold Case Christianity.

You will find this personal discussion insightful and thoughtful. 

We all suffer. For some the pain of sickness, injustice, failed relationships and losses is unbearable.  Why do we have to go through this...even as a Christian?  

At this season of the year when we focus on the Suffering of Jesus Christ, what can we learn to be victorious and understand what it's all about.  I explain this in this week's podcast. 

Part 3 of the Servant-Leadership group of podcasts.  

Last time we discussed what Servant looks like in an organization. Then we compared and contrasted some of the differences in a servant-leadership culture verses an autocratic culture. Today we will answer a few questions prompted by our previous podcasts and then discuss some well-known organizations that practice servant-leadership. 

Dr. Lilya Wagner and her husband John have been supporters and mentors of LifeNets since 1999.  Lilya Wagner was Associate Director Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy in Indianapolis, IN.  She has also worked for a global development organization in Washington D.C. where she and her husband live.  Her husband John has been President of Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska.  

Lilya was born in Estonia. She has written a several books focusing on Philanthropy.  Her first book To Linger is to Die is about her parents escape from Soviet-occupied Estonia near the end of World War II.   We talk about this story in our podcast.

In part one Dr. Roy Fouch and I talk about delusions in the context of mental health.  Here we discuss delusions from a spiritual perspective.  The Bible predicts that deception would deceive the whole world.  The Bible also instructs us on how to know the truth and be protected from lies.

Be sure to listen to Part One of this two part program.

Andy Lee and Victor Kubik talk about how we consume information.   At one time it was a newspaper and TV.   Now, there are many more sources.  What's the best way to stay informed and not waste time.  We candidly discuss a continually changing phenomenon that involves you, your phone, Internet, TV and maybe things still printed on paper such as books and newspapers. 

The pandemic, which affected the whole world, became a time of fear, mistrust, misinformation and spawned numerous conspiracy theories. These theories are in areas such as environmental, geo-political, racial, and ethnic, just to mention a few. 

Hate groups like white supremacy groups and anti-government groups are increasing in numbers. What is behind all these activities?

Hear Dr. Roy Fouch, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor for over 45 years discuss delusions which is a false belief or judgement about an external reality, held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary.
