    Spiritual Warfare: How The Occult is Infiltrating the Church

    My guest today is Lynn Lusby Pratt; a missionary in Tokyo for 10 years, as well as an editor in Christian publishing and a published author. She has studied the occult and world religions for over 50 years and has a unique perspective of their effect on society and culture. Topics discussed include: Why is it important to understand the meanings of words as it pertains to theology, spirituality, new age and Christianity? How eastern religion and occult teachings have slipped into the church  If someone is reading books on Christianity, how can they discern information based on Christianity vs Christianity with occult/new age practices?  Many people think that by going to church they are receiving the traditional beliefs/teaching of that church/religion, but it really seems like that might not be true, what can you tell us about that? What is the real agenda behind the growing perversity in pop culture and government? Specifically, the pro-pedophilia movement being marketed as "minor attraction."

    The Price of Freedom is Eternal Vigilance

    My guest today is simply brilliant. I have the privilege of chatting with Ralph Bayrer, Navy veteran and author of multiple books; among them, “Eternal Vigilance: Guarding Against the Predatory State” and “Liberty, Science, and Wealth: The Evolution to Modern Society.” • Many Americans look at what’s happening in our nation right now and there is concern that we’re losing freedoms or certain liberties are at risk. Why was this issue so important to you that you actually wrote a book about it? • Based on the topics discussed in your books, it is obvious that you feel that the gov’t is intrusive, how do you think this is putting our freedom’s at risk? • In your book you mention “central argument is that man’s discovery of ways to successfully cooperate with his fellow man on community, national and global scales in the face of ubiquitous predatory instincts is his greatest achievement and foundation for all advanced civilizations.” Do you think that we are losing the ability to successfully cooperate in America? • You also mention in your book that other countries have had to deal with the negative facts of human nature have succeeded and provided lessons for us going forward – can you talk about some of the lessons they have given us? • You talk about predation in government, can you explain what you mean by this and how it aligns with what is occurring today? • Based on the deviant behavior displayed by many in politics, do you think that America is heading towards to a dictatorship type of society? • Tell us what you’ve seen the gov’t do to fix our economy in the past? As a result what are we seeing/experiencing today? Do you think they are overstepping their bounds based on the US Constitution?

    Kids Say The Darndest Things: My interview with 9 year old Andrew Wang

    Sometimes children can really surprise you with their wit, wisdom and insights. Case in point, I had a chat with Andrew Wang about world events, history and ever increasing popularity of his YouTube channel. I was blown away by his charisma and passion for history. Most of all, I was most impressed that my interviewee was only 9 years old. Tune in to this podcast now! I think you will be amazed by what you hear.  ABOUT MY GUEST My name is Andrew Wang and I love to talk about the secret, misconceptions about life and the corrupt school system, history and sometimes politics😅. I "know" how the mind works and why people don't do what they want. I believe that religion is not a big clump of baloney, but simply one way of looking at the universe( this is not an religion), the world around us, which is formed by a formless substance, in our mind, that is made of nothing, and makes up everything. everything is not hiding from you, you are hiding from it, its waiting for you to come out and take a hold on it. I hate the misconception that kids are dumb and elders are wise. there are many wise kids out there, and there are many dumb elders too! thank you for watching and supporting my channel! Andrew's blah blah https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpqw_UBrnDdfL4GQiWgOo6A

    Is there a cure for Alzheimer's disease? Quite possibly, yes.

    Is there a cure for Alzheimer's disease? Quite possibly, yes. I discuss that possibility with guest Dr. Duke Maltani. Moreover, we talk about the work he is doing for ICB International, Inc and how they are helping patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Muscular Dystrophy (MD), Pancreatic Cancer, etc., especially since they recently received $2.5B in funding.  ABOUT MY GUEST Duke Multani has been involved in Research and Development since 1990. His experience spans three decades of taking products to market and taking companies from start to success. He is a serial entrepreneur and his forte is marketing. Besides the medical field in which he trained he has been involved in cutting edge technologies across a wide spectrum. Besides mergers and acquisitions and fund raising he has been instrumental in taking companies to new pathways which they had started out with.

    The Politics of Healthcare

    Today I speak with Steven LaTulippe, MD about how he has been treated since speaking out against the Covid mandates and where he is with his legal battles. We speak further about traveling without a mask, vaccine updates and the politicization of healthcare. We also discuss the conflict in Ukraine and the Big Reset agenda. If you are offended by strong conservative views, this is not the episode for you. ABOUT MY GUEST Steve LaTulippe M.D. is a physician board certified in Family Medicine, a retired United States Air Force officer, and a Bible college and seminary-trained ordained minister whose focus was Christian doctrine and Bible interpretation. His medical practice has focused on pain and addiction medicine. His military service includes flying the KC-135 Stratotanker and an RF-4C phantom, then later serving as Chief of Medicine in the Oregon Air National Guard. Steve is currently fighting the battle of cancel culture in medicine, and he has published a book, Unity Without Compromise, as an instrumental tool towards unifying potentially the greatest force on earth—the Christians. Unity Without Compromise Radio Show host, Dr. LaTulippe, combines his experience as a physician, a seminary-trained ordained minister, and a retired Air Force officer, to boldly reveal the truth, expose lies, and show precisely how we can unite as Christians and Patriots into a powerful force against the present darkness that threatens our God-given freedoms that made America great.
