    Free the Nipple! Breasts, Blue Laws, & the Bible Belt

    Law codes have changed quite a bit over the years, but many edicts from our puritan past remain on the books today. This is a fun and informative look at some "blue laws" designed to keep Americans "moral."

    Letter to a Christian Spouse

    This is a personal message for Christians struggling with confusion and concern over loved ones leaving the faith.

    Creature Features: an interview with FX artist Mark Shostrom

    This bonus release is just an off-topic diversion for those interested in sci-fi and horror films from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s.

    I was honored to speak with makeup FX artist Mark Shostrom, a 40+ year veteran with credits ranging from "Nightmare on Elm Street" to "Star Trek."

    If this sounds interesting, enjoy the conversation. If not, no worries. We'll see you next week.

The Navigators

Would be interested in hearing about the organization The Navigators based in Colorado Springs. Their agenda is the 7 mountains. A personal concern since family members have moved there to work with that organization. Our side of the family is not Christian… and we’ve been told we’re bound for hell. Though they mean well in trying to “save us”, it is offensive. How does a non-Christian deal with otherwise nice family members who have become evangelical and have decided to make conversion their life work. Unfortunately, it will probably break the family. And, as a concerned American, how do we go about convincing friends that these organizations are dangerous and we should be paying attention to their agenda. When I’ve shared your podcasts or articles on this subject It is dismissed as an exaggeration. It’s not taken seriously. How do we get the public to see we are in trouble?
