    EP 234: "Corrupt Governments Love Christians." True or False? ...Obedience vs. Morality, which would you choose?

    Obedience or morality, which would you chose? Can you actually choose? Obedience and morality go hand in hand. What or who you are obedient to will determine your morality. Are you obedient to self, another person or personality, or God? In today’s episode Rita will be discussing a few current events, including the recent Sydney Sweeney controversy, and how they tie into obedience and morality. She’ll also answer the question of whether a corrupt government actually loves Christians. “They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them.” - Romans 2:15 Regardless of whether a person believes in God, we all possess an inherent sense of right and wrong and are all obedient to something.

    EP 233: Christians Living Among Outsiders; re-anchoring

    Short and anchoring…much like the Book of Titus in the Bible: For we ourselves were once foolish and disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another. But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Saviour appeared, he saved us, not because of any works or righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:3-5 In today’s episode Rita reminds us that, yes, it is important to listen and pay attention to what is happening in the world but more importantly, to do so through the lens of our Christian worldview.

    EP 232: A.I. child p*rn is legal, so stop sharing your kids online? & 9K for stay at home moms…

    We’re being told AI is the future, it’s powerful and capable of anything…except for when it comes to the protection of children. When it comes to protecting children, all our focus and energy and really, blame, has been aimed at moms.  Digital and social media is where most adults spend their time and get their information but what does that space look like when children and families are no longer represented there? In today’s episode, Rita discusses a recent court ruling that protects AI generated pornographic images of children (CSAM) under the First Amendment and a piece of bad legislation proposed by our current administration.  On the surface, giving parents a check to incentivize them to stay at home with their children may sound good but increasing dependence on the government is never a good thing.  Firm up your foundation. Know your values and regardless of Right or Left, know what you want the government to be and why. Also, please take a moment today to pause and pray for our friend and Rita’s former cohost, Cecily Dickey, as her family navigates some very serious health issues.

    EP 231: Why Conservative Politicians always drift Left, John Tillman author of The Political Vise

    If it empowers people he’s for it, if it empowers the government he’s against it. This is John Tillmans guiding philosophy. John is the CEO of the American Culture Project, he built the IL Policy Institute, and is an influential leader in the free market/public policy movement. Shifting gears in his mid 40’s, John went from businessman to helping shape politics in a big way. In today’s conversation Rita and John discuss the right’s constant leftward drift and what we can do better on the right to progress our ideas. They also cover data centers - the propaganda behind them and the lack of discussion on how to do them well, and the political machine that is Unions. Johns leaves us with the hope that liberty and goodness, will in fact, prevail.

    EP 230: Protect Young Eyes: 5 Habits of Tech Ready Families with Chris McKenna

    How do we protect kids from the dangers of technology? We might delay issuing a phone but kids still need good habits when they day comes that they have one in their hand. Chris McKenna started Protect Young Eyes eleven years ago with the goal of helping families navigate technology well. Chris opens our eyes to the dangers of the “world wide web,” gives us practical tips and tells us about some current events related to the tech space (Elon suing Minnesota for a deepfake law and NY working to ban AI robots in the classroom).

    EP 229: Are we even speaking the same language? "Conservative" has become meaningless and conversations are hard.

    We are living in a broken and fragmented country. Conversations can and do feel fruitless when the people having them lack any sort of parallel foundational principles. In today’s episode, Rita will discuss why without a foundational understanding of what America is, what our governments role was intended to be, and even what conservatism is…the divide will only continue to grow deeper. It is crucial that we have a firm and moral foundation, push aside the desire for comfort, and seek the truth.

    EP 228: Could you stand firm on your convictions? Doug Smith walks away from a ‘dream job’

    In a world trying to sell you products and ideals based on fear, it’s never been more important to have a firm foundation.  Today’s episode is part 2 with Doug Smith. Doug is a Christian, author, and software engineer who also recently left his dream job because of his convictions. Rita and Doug discuss the importance of knowing what your convictions are and how to stand in them…before you need to. Doug will also touch on AI’s staying power (or lack thereof), the AI bubble, and the hope we are seeing in the younger generations opposition to AI.

    EP 227: Privacy is Power: the digital age is a tyrannical government’s dream with Carissa Veliz

    Dr. Carissa Veliz is an author, keynote speaker, and associate professor at the Institute for Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford. As a naturally private person herself and in researching her own family, Carissa was lead to the philosophy of privacy…or lack thereof. Being ‘watched’ (monitored, tracked, surveilled) almost continuously has been normalized and BigTech and our own government are working together to do it. Carissa and Rita will discuss why you should care at all and what you can do about it. Today’s conversation will cover privacy, data collection, Big Tech, AI, and prediction and why the future is ours to write.
