From My Standpoint

Here one moment and gone the next. Billions and billions of people lost forever.   Is there hope for the afterlife? Do we just disappear? Do we all, regardless of how good or evil we were, go to the same place when we die?   Listen to learn why it's so important to live this life correctly and why there is good news.             NOTES: Intro/Outro Bumper Music: Evening Melodrama  Kevin MacLeod (in...

Do you remember the ignorance and idiocracy that ran amok many years ago? Well, I do, because I wrote a short blog about it, which is now a podcast episode.   Anyway. During that time, I asked myself a few questions based on the assertion that these groups, particularly for this episode, a person said in an interview about their violent acts of love and tolerant intolerance.   They said, "People h...

The 2024 presidential election is over, but the hysteria continues. For any election, really, how can we cope with a new administration, a new person in the office as President of the United States of America? How can we rest our fears on the chopping block of truth? Listen as Josh tells you the best advice that he has heard on this topic when it comes to political elections. Okay, so he read it o...

How should a Christian even begin to try to decide who to cast their vote for? Really, how should anyone who claims to believe in the Bible, God, follow Jesus, or even wear the title of Christian, Jew, Catholic, etc. even begin to decide who would be the best person on the ballot to cast their vote for? Voting is your right, and it is how you express your values and show your support for what you...

"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." Thomas Jefferson Freedom, as we know, is not free; and it can and is easily taken by those who would oppose it. But how could a citizen base who lives in freedom and claims to support freedom so easily hand...

This is the final episode in the 10 Commandments series. In this episode, we discuss the commands that deal with having a good life and a good relationship with your fellow neighbor—that is, every person on this earth.   You might be surprised at how many of these commands from God you not only follow in your everyday life but that you openly support, defend, and uphold as good and truthful comman...

There is a path to living a better life in relationship with God. That is what we will discuss in this episode: the part of the 10 Commandments that deals with a relationship with God.   We will explain what all 10 of the Ten Commandments are, but our focus will be on helping each other understand the importance of a proper relationship between us and God, based on God's commands.   Even if you th...

The Bible is the most popular and widely read book in the world. However, it is also the least understood among those whose chosen foundation is anti-biblical and anti-God. Yet, even with this open disregard for truth, those who shun biblical teaching still know deep down that these teachings are true, and they still attempt to follow God's commands, knowing God is right.   Listen as we dive a lit...

Do you know the history of the Ten Commandments in America? How about just a small portion of it?   Did you know that the Ten Commandments have been a part of our nation and politics since the very beginning of the United States of America's founding?   Listen as we explore some of the history of why these moral codes are not only important to our lives and society but also why it was reasoned the...

Join me as we briefly discuss what the Ten Commandments are, which will be detailed more later, and who they are written to.   We will also discuss the poison that is traveling through the veins of our nation here in America, which is known as political correctness.                     NOTES: This podcast uses these sounds from freesound: Sound  by code_box  ( https://freesound.org/s/558059/ ) Int...

Why are the 10 Commandments important to not just any society but, more precisely, American society? Why would I even dare bring up this topic as an intolerant religious belief? Listen as I explain why I felt it was necessary for us to discuss the Ten Commandments before we go further into a brief history of the Ten Commandments in America and why they are a fundamental pillar of American history...

Do you shy away from the topics of politics and religion ?   Why? Do you understand how important these two topics are to a nation? To a government? To the people?   There is a pulse running through the vein of a nation, and that pulse can be healthy or flatline in just one generation.   Politics is that pulse; you are the voice of that pulse, and religion, believe it or not, is a foundational vei...

Have you ever wondered where the most successful people first begin to search for and find their success? Listen as we dive into the very first place, the very first step, and the very first decision that must be made by any individual desiring to find their success in life. Yes, it is the very same place where all of us must traverse, and it is the universal first step in achieving success. I'll...

Did you know that either you are in control or you allow something else to control you? Your foundation is where your decisions will emanate from. Your foundation is where your belief will grow. Your belief will help in your decision-making and determining who or what is in control. Where are you coming from? What have you already decided? Who or what is truly in control?         NOTES: This podca...

Misinformation has become a key word and topic in our society. Through political power, we have seen so much information be censored, canceled, hidden from the public eye, and classified by those same political powers in charge as "misinformation," or lies. But why? Have you stopped to honestly, logically, objectively, and critically ask any questions? Why the sudden push for a one-thought pattern...

It might sound cliched, funny, ridiculous, but it is absolutely true.   YOUR WORDS HOLD POWER!   Listen to this episode and understand a little more how, by the words you choose to think and speak, you can wield such power. Will you build or will you destroy? Will you learn or will you denigrate? The choice is yours, as is the way in which you wield the power of your words.             NOTES: Intr...

Did you know your behavior will showcase if you are patient or not? What is patience and do you actually have any of it? Listen as we discuss this all-powerful and very important character trait that will help make your life much more joyful and, well, just so much better. Or you could choose to not incorporate this trait and live a stressed, anxious, angry, and troublesome life. Listen to this ep...

Monkey see, Monkey do is a fantastic idiom for choosing your friends, your circle of influence, wisely. Do you know why your mouth spits out some of the diarrhea it does? Do you know why your behavior is wicked? Do you know why you act cocky, irritating, disrespectful, etc.? Do you know why you are generous, loving, helpful? This isn't the only or full reason, but it is an important one. The peopl...

Also a promotion for my new poetry book America Then and Now a poem by Josh C. Jones   America. Who was she? What has she become?   John Adams once said, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."   Liberty, according to our founders here in America, could not exist without morality, which itself cannot exist without r...

Society has declined. We are told every day that racism is rampant, crime is surging, murder and shootings are becoming normal occurrences, education scores have plummeted, kids are becoming more and more disrespectful and violent, and morality, good character, and truth have been evaporating from culture. Evolution states that all came from nothing and that out of randomness and chaos came order;...

Is reality real? Is truth subjective or objective? Are we truly trying to live in a non-fiction world, or have we suspended our disbelief for the real world to appease our emotions, feelings, and desires and to justify our sensual pleasures? In reality, we cannot change the objective truth, for truth is not subjective or relative, or it would no longer be the truth. Listen as we read some hard-to-...

What is reality? Can all people be treated the same in reality? Can all people truly be treated fairly at all times and in all circumstances? In reality, no, we cannot truly treat all people the same, and we do not treat all people at all times in all circumstances fairly. Some people want the opportunity to work, learn, grow, and earn things, while others, sadly, act as they feel—entitled. Listen...

The freedom to cancel in order to cancel freedom ? Have we really been using racism to fight perceived racism and instilling a culture of canceling freedom and differing ideologies to find a utopia of "equity" and "freedom"? In the name of fighting supposed white supremacy, did we really cancel the legacy of a pioneering black woman? Decide for yourself how far we have fallen and how looney we hav...

Leave my body alone; pay for my body, but leave it alone. In this episode, we will try to discuss, as well as we can in our short time together, the importance of life, such as our (in America) right to Life. Research has shown the number one reason for abortion is financial concerns, with the timing or partner being wrong and the woman's quality of life (future plans) being interrupted or potenti...
