    Dec 6 2024

    Quite a bit went on in the month of November! On this episode of the podcast, I want to share my thoughts about the recent events surrounding Dr. Steve Lawson and the passing of Hal Lindsey and Tony Campolo. All three of these men have had an impact on my life in one way or another, though these three men could not be further apart theologically! In fact, the theologically astute among us might be wondering how these men could be uttered in the same breath! Tune in and find out...

  • 016 - Why I Am Not Voting for Donald Trump
    Nov 4 2024

    We are just a matter of hour away from the most important election of our lifetime, until the next important election of lifetime four years from now. But, we get closer to Tuesday, I have asked many times why I cannot vote for Donald Trump. So, I thought I would take the time to explain why here. I also address objections like - King David was imperfect, Trump is not running to be pastor, we must vote for the lesser of two evils and Trump is better on abortion.
