Welcome! This is the place for balanced takes on politics and world news — without the anger or hype. I believe we can stay informed and stay hopeful.

Every episode wraps up with a few minutes of Biblical encouragement to remind us that faith, peace, and perspective still matter. Learn more.

U.S. news:

Timestamp: (1:57). I’m so thankful for this country.

From link above:

Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since he took office. His family businesses are raking in millions in the crypto industry, luxury real estate, and investment deals in the Middle East. The Trump Organization is reported to be in talks with Saudi Arabia on a deal that could bring the Trump brand to a government-owned luxury real estate development, flying in the face of the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause. Meanwhile, Trump hosted Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House today.

Timestamp: (12:16). The MAGA reign in the House might end sooner than expected.

Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation this week, after President Trump called her a “traitor.” Greene had called for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Timestamp: (17:52). The Trump Administration has decided to go after six Democrats, who advocated against the military obeying “illegal orders” from the President.

Timestamp: (30:03). This is how NOT to push a peace deal… The disastrous week of news for Trump as his team fights among themselves to pursue an elusive peace deal in Ukraine.

Timestamp: (44:05). Just how much foreign influence is going on in our social media landscape these days?

Timestamp: (45:59). It sure seems like we are awfully close to going to war against Venezuela, but I do not believe the Administration has sold this operation to the American people yet.

Let’s end with some notes on faith

As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not an earthly leader, such as our President or the leader of whatever political party you prefer.

By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide (especially if you’re a veteran), please check out this link.

Timestamp: (49:45). Let’s end with some Biblical wisdom and spiritual encouragement.

I also have a podcast that focuses solely on faith called The Search for God.

Here are a couple of episodes you don’t want to miss:

* For the vets out there... Dealing with paranoia, PTSD, and the emotional scars you earned from serving.

* How it all started: my painful origin story.

Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things?

I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Christian or not.

And with that, thanks for joining us this week.
