    Gossip Is Cringy

    Gossip. Everyone knows how to do it, not everybody knows how it makes them look when they do it. One things' for certain, if you participate in it, you'll be caught doing it...that's the nature of gossip, it always rears it's ugly head. Today's podcast I will give two examples of gossip that I was the brunt of the "unspoken conversations" and I tell you, it was uncomfortable, awkward and cringe!!! Come feel the "cringe" with me as we explore how Gossip reveals itself and how misguided unresolved issues can be when you don't go to the person with the issue. By the way, its way better to talk about someone to someone rather than to others. No one likes a gossip.

    America

    America means something different to everyone. My mom lived in Korea during the Korean War in the 1950's. Her experiences as a child were painful and tragic. In recent times I sat down with and she shared with me one story that I never heard before. It gave me a perspective about my country I never knew I had...our American stories can shape the way we see our lives and how our future generations see there's. Enjoy this as part of a 4th of July Special!

    The Day The Gay Cheered Me On

    The bible says that when I please the Lord, I'll even cause my enemies to be at peace with me...but nobody told me that asking for God's wisdom would cause them to cheer for me?!?!? I wanted to fight for my values, stand up for the truth and defend biblical principles...but I needed God's wisdom. In light of "Pride Month" I wanted to interject some humility that I think both sides of the fence need if we are going to ultimately fight an enemy that's common to us all.

In this episode we will review the ad for Moxie and I'll share some thoughts of what I think about A.I. in or society and our children coming from a mother's perspective.

    Tinfoil Tuesdays: Alien Rapture

    The rapture will not happen how we think it will, claims instagrammer @GillyanStone - a pre-trib denier and a dream prophetess who turns the tables on eschatology. She suggests that unbelievers will be the ones caught up into the skies and we, the christians, will be the ones left behind. It’s a fascinating take on the rapture complete with full speculative visions of ships in the sky! We dive into the validity of Gyllian’s claims and look to the Bible for answers. We will also contemplate if indeed an alien apocalypse is a plausible end time scenario. All in a day’s work on Tinfoil Tuesdays!

    The Mark of the Beast WILL NOT Send You To Hell

    Everyone on the internet is talking about the "Mark of the Beast" a resurgence of this End time theory has recently come up with new ways of buying and selling, Central Bank Digital Currencies and Vaccine Mandates on the horizon are sparking Apocalyptic tales of anti-Christ events looming in the near future. But there are thousands of people already chipped! There are people who are in the process of already implanting computers in their brains...are they doomed to hell? Can we even say that the Mark of the Beast is any of these recent claims? I provide compelling reasons why it's not and why a micro chip or a mark does not have the power to send you to hell. It's encouraging, trust me! And let me know what you think! ;-)

    Flunking Speech Class For Jesus

    Who would've thought that flunking a college class would be a revolutionary act? Revolutions are supposed to make a difference in the lives of others, and such was one of the many choices I made during my radical college years. This is my story of how Robert Frost inspired the revolutionary in me as I began to realize that taking chances and risking it all for what matters most can not only be worth it, but impactful to those around you, maybe even impacting them in eternal ways.
