“A fool gives full vent to his spirit,
​but a wise man quietly holds it back.”

“If a wise man has an argument with a fool,
the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.”
​(Prov. 29:9)

​but only in expressing his opinion.”
​(Prov. 18:2)

​but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
​(Prov. 12:18)

But the lips of the wise will preserve them.“

Good morning! In this unedited, unproduced, unscripted quarantine episode, the Berry brothers check in on each other and with you, the listener!

• Is this quarantine getting ridiculous?
• Talking Easter/Resurrection day
• Our hope
• Civil disobedience
• We need to hear from you, the listener! 

COVID19 has given our most brilliant minds the chance to shine, but it has also shown us that even the smartest among us have serious limitations. 

• Should we always listen to the experts?
• Bill Gates is brilliant, but how wise is he?
• The difference between knowledge and wisdom
• The Left/Right divide in the virus crisis
• The role of the Christian in a divided culture 

In the midst of the Corona-chaos, I wanted to check in to see how everyone is doing. 
Due to the short time and chaotic morning, this episode was raw and unedited- yet still clean. Amazing!

• Confronting fear and tearing down idols
• Learning new skills during the break
• Star Wars and Tiger King (because of course)

I hope all of you are doing ok out there! If we can help in any way or provide free ads for your small business, write to us at [email protected]

I decided to read Roe v. Wade. All 21 pages of single-spaced legal language.  I was appalled by what I found. Here are some of my initial thoughts: 

• It intentionally sets ethical progress back 2000 years
• It invents rights that are not in the constitution
• It relies on junk science by citing unqualified people and eugenicists (yes, eugenicists)

Is it time to ignore Roe v Wade?  I think so.
