Wrestling with submitting to authority is a very common issue for most men but especially in adolescence when we are trying to rebel in order to define our own personality in the breaking away from our parents' orbit. Honestly, it has been a lifelong struggle for me as it also represents a struggle with pride.

My guest for this episode is Chaplain Richmond E. Stoglin, a man of distinguished military service for 28 years in the United States Navy Reserve Chaplain Corps from November of 1985 to November of 2013.  He attained the rank of Commander and was former Regimental Chaplain to the 14th Marines, the largest artillery command in the US Marine Corps.  As a decorated veteran Chaplain Stoglin certainly has a keen understanding of the importance submitting to authority on many levels both professionally and spiritually.

In our last episode we covered the identities of addiction which an addict must shed to become a genuine and authentic individual.  In this episode we have successful enterpreneur Greg Walker again giving us his unique perspective on shedding identities of addiction, but this time it is the identity of family members and other loved ones who have become enablers or codependents who mean well by rescuing the addict or insulating them from facing the natural consequences of their choices and mistakes.

This is something that I am very familiar with myself coming from a family who has had to deal with multiple long term substance and alcohol abuse issues.

Ultimately, there is only one relationship that has the power to rescue an addict from his affliction, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and savior.  This is because the wrestling match takes place in the spiritual realm where we mere humans have no power.  Only the supernatural power of Jesus can defeat the evil powers of addiction in this world where Satan rules!

Addiction has been on the rise in many forms in our digital age with things like gambling and pornography more available than ever and more difficult to resist!

Of course alcohol and substance abuse haven't lost any ground either!

My guest today is Greg Walker, a lifelong entrepreneur and extremely successful businessman.  Greg grew up in a normal middle-class family raised by his mom and step-father in Greenbelt, Maryland.

After opening Zydeco Louisiana Diner in Houston, Texas during his senior year of college, Greg entered the venture capital and private equity worlds (healthcare, film, and real estate).

Despite his success, Greg walked through the darkness of addiction, which took him to places he swore he would never go.

"I have had millions of dollars in the bank and couldn't sleep a wink, and no money in the bank and slept like a baby every single night.  My identity was always in my stuff.....but God never stopped pursuing me and it took what it took for me to totally surrender."

Have a listen to his courageous vulnerability discussing how he was able to shed his bogus identities of addiction.

In Part 2 we will look at addiction from the enabler or codependent family members who struggle with rescuing their loved ones trapped in addition.

Feeling cheated may be one of the most universal human emotions and it is no fun!  Whether it is being "short-changed" literally on a cash transaction, victimized by an unscrupulous ticket scalper with a fraudulent ticket outside your favorite sports venue, or being scammed on a larger scale through an email Phishing scheme we all must maintain daily vigilance to avoid this feeling.

My guest today is Kevin D. Freeman CFA, author of the fascinating book "Pirate Money" as well as several other New York Times Bestselling books relating to his expertise as a forensic economist. The subtitle of "Pirate Money" is "Discovering the Founder's Hidden Plan for Economic Justice and Defeating the Great Reset."
Kevin also is known as the "the father of the LSV investing movement." LSV refers to investing in Liberty, Security, and Values and is the counter to hypocritical ESG (which has been hijacked to fuel corporate greed, inequality, and globalist tyranny) 

If you want to learn more about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and the federal government's plan for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) this is a must episode for YOU! Don't be fooled and suffer a loss of economic freedom and privacy, feeling cheated only after the damage has been done!

In this episode David confesses his idolatry of college football for many years and his slow revelation of how it has become ruined by greed requiring him to reassess his support of something he has so dearly loved for decades.

Coaching buyouts,  NIL money, the transfer portal, TV money contracts, and conference realignments have all contributed to Division I colleges' abandonment of higher education as their top priority.

What does this greedy system do to the young men and their character and should we continue to support something that represents one of the most destructive of the seven deadly sins?

A mighty wrestling match indeed for the fanatical fans of fall!

The History Channel has a popular series which focuses on survival skills called "ALONE".  I must admit that I am an ardent fan because it speaks to something that we see so very little of today: accepting personal responsibility for our decisions!

Check out my top ten reasons why I believe "ALONE" is the best show on television.
