In this episode, the No Jokin' spotlight is on our favorite Bible characters. We're not ignoring what's happening all around us though. We discuss the approach of hunting season, the Lions' nail-biter overtime win, and the (un)presidential debate. This episode on heroes takes an unexpected turn, so stay with us to the end. May God bless you to be a Hero of Faith to someone in your life!

Dedicated to Leamon T. Brumley, Jr.

HUNTING... for the ideal presidential candidate... for sanity in Washington... for fair elections... and other elusive matters. We do touch on the actual sport of hunting toward the end of the episode; our own experiences as well as Bartok the Cat's. Zero in on the conversation and get ready for another adrenaline pumping No Jokin' Experience!

Thousands of people worked collectively for many years. How were they able to accomplish their goal? It remains a mystery. We may never uncover the whys or the hows. Folks have told outright lies concerning it. We're talking, of course, about the Democratic National Convention. Then we move to a discussion on the Egyptian Pyramids, led by our favorite historian, Steve.

Mayonnaise on tacos, the 2nd coming of Jesus, and other scenarios that would end the world as we know it... we are talking survival at the roundtable today.

This week it's all about essentials and influencers!

In a society full of choices, our decisions are many... Speak our mind or let it go? Gun control or 2nd Amendment? Trump or Harris? We begin with current events, then we go a bit deeper: If you were presented with the opportunity God granted Solomon, what would YOU do with it? We finish out with a few "Would you rather..." questions to end this round.

How would you respond if you knew God would give you whatever you asked of him? (By the way, He will, if we ask in faith, according to His will.) Let us know what you're asking God for: [email protected]
