• Episode 087: Rise and Fall of Freedom
    Oct 1 2024

    “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.” Thomas Jefferson

    Freedom, as we know, is not free; and it can and is easily taken by those who would oppose it. But how could a citizen base who lives in freedom and claims to support freedom so easily hand that very freedom over to those who wish to take it?

    Well, as Thomas Paine is quoted, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”

    But what if we are losing our freedoms one slice at a time? What if the very citizens are giving their freedoms away with each cut to their very comfortable and conformable lives and their desire for dependence over responsibility? What if a nation could quietly be put to death by a thousand cuts?

  • Episode 086: The 10 Commandments PART VI (Man and Man)
    May 21 2024

    This is the final episode in the 10 Commandments series. In this episode, we discuss the commands that deal with having a good life and a good relationship with your fellow neighbor—that is, every person on this earth.

    You might be surprised at how many of these commands from God you not only follow in your everyday life but that you openly support, defend, and uphold as good and truthful commands. Yes, even the most hardcore atheists, even if they might not follow these commands in their own lives, believe their neighbor should follow and respect them in order to receive good treatment.

    And find out why these commands are so vital to a good, just, moral, and better-behaved society and education system.

  • Episode 085: The 10 Commandments PART V (Man and God)
    May 7 2024

    There is a path to living a better life in relationship with God. That is what we will discuss in this episode: the part of the 10 Commandments that deals with a relationship with God.

    We will explain what all 10 of the Ten Commandments are, but our focus will be on helping each other understand the importance of a proper relationship between us and God, based on God’s commands.

    Even if you think this does not apply to you, but you believe that all religions follow the same “god” but just under a different name, then you should be interested in understanding these commands even more, if for nothing else than to help you understand your neighbor better.

  • Episode 084: The 10 Commandments PART IV (Begin the Breakdown)
    Apr 16 2024

    The Bible is the most popular and widely read book in the world. However, it is also the least understood among those whose chosen foundation is anti-biblical and anti-God. Yet, even with this open disregard for truth, those who shun biblical teaching still know deep down that these teachings are true, and they still attempt to follow God’s commands, knowing God is right.

    Listen as we dive a little deeper into the Ten Commandments and show just a little more why even those who reject God and biblical teachings know in their hearts that God is right.

  • Episode 083: The 10 Commandments PART III (brief history)
    Apr 2 2024

    Do you know the history of the Ten Commandments in America? How about just a small portion of it?

    Did you know that the Ten Commandments have been a part of our nation and politics since the very beginning of the United States of America’s founding?

    Listen as we explore some of the history of why these moral codes are not only important to our lives and society but also why it was reasoned they should have no place in our education system more than 150 years after our founding, and why this reasoning is flawed and goes against the very founders of this great country.

    Mar 19 2024

    Join me as we briefly discuss what the Ten Commandments are, which will be detailed more later, and who they are written to.

  • Episode 081: The 10 Commandments PART I (Why speak of it?)
    Mar 5 2024

    Why are the 10 Commandments important to not just any society but, more precisely, American society?

    Why would I even dare bring up this topic as an intolerant religious belief?

    Listen as I explain why I felt it was necessary for us to discuss the Ten Commandments before we go further into a brief history of the Ten Commandments in America and why they are a fundamental pillar of American history and are still followed to this day by the very same people who seek to destroy and bury such rich, powerful, and vital American heritage.

  • Episode 080: The Pulse of a Nation
    Feb 20 2024

    Do you shy away from the topics of politics and religion?

     

    Why? Do you understand how important these two topics are to a nation? To a government? To the people?

     

    There is a pulse running through the vein of a nation, and that pulse can be healthy or flatline in just one generation.

     

    Politics is that pulse; you are the voice of that pulse, and religion, believe it or not, is a foundational vein in the nation of America.

     

    Listen as Josh explains his idea of why we are told to avoid the topics of religion and politics, and learn a little more about why it is so important that you do not avoid these two topics.
