This show is going to be a series of subjects had come to my mind overtime that I have thought of often and deeply. I'll be sharing through these episodes my study and my own personal thoughts of how a Christian processes Current Events, Facts, Biblical Teachings, Theories or even just Simple Subjects regarding Christianity.

Don't Poke the Bear ... Unless You Must
#8
10/17/2025

Think, Pray, and then if you must, be bold and Poke the Bear. This episode reveals the risk of poking the bear of other Christians or leaders. I share when I was poked in the past, what I learned from it, and how it impacted my life then. I hope that the times I poked the bear of other Christians prior to my podcasts and maybe even during my podcasts will serve as good examples of how and when Christians should do the same, if a worthy outcome has a good chance of prevailing. I end this episode asking...


Teaching, Preaching, & Politics - Separation of Church and State?
#7
10/11/2025

This episode begins with some history of where the phrase Separation of Church and State originated from that might surprise some folks. After understanding the history of our Bill of Rights, I then challenge the "Church" and their priest or pastors to stick with what the Bible teaches about mixing politics from the pulpit, which the Bible does not say much of anything. Jesus and the apostle Paul did not get into governmental politics and nor should we, at least not from the pulpit. I will reveal in this episode where and how it can be done within the...

#6
10/06/2025

This episode of my former rejection of Trump's leadership began over 23 years ago, never dreaming he would become President. Now that he has become president twice, here is the journey of my mind in regard to him, the details of which I think worth pondering. It might change part of your opinion of him. It might be similar in ways opponents like me once thought, and where supporters of him then and now, might consider.

Tribute to Charlie Kirk
#3
09/22/2025

This episode is a tribute to Charlie Kirk who was assassinated a week ago. This tribute includes extensive excerpts that were posted on FB by Peter J. Scaer that so much resembled my own thoughts.  While producing this episode I asked him for his blessing to use much of what he wrote within  2 of his posts as the main focus of this episode, with a few of my own thoughts inserted.  Please accept this podcast as a tribute to Charlie, his wife and family, and to all that gain access to it.

WAR - "Just War Theory" for Christians (and even non Christians)
#1
09/08/2025

War, huh, yeah - What is it good for? - Absolutely ______________.  Those lyrics are the beginning and throughout Edwin Star's 1970 War protest song called WAR. This episode is to help the Christian fill in the blank.  It is also for Christians to reflect on wars recorded in the Bible, Current Wars in Ukraine, and in Gaza Strip. I attempt to explain how the theory of what is called Just War Theory has developed and changed over centuries and what the collateral damage might look like depending on the Christians current worldview of war.
