From My Standpoint

Are you getting paid peanuts for the work you do? If so, what can you do about it?   Are you paying someone else peanuts for their work? If so, have you just created a circus?   I found this quote in a very unlikely place, but it fits well with most people's perceptions and stations in life. What is that quote? Listen and find out.   But know this: You are worth more than you think.              ...

Can a tool be evil? Is an inanimate object inherently evil?   What are your thoughts on this? Well, mine are expressed in this episode.   In this episode we will tackle what should be an easy-to-answer question: Is a tool evil? Are guns evil? Can a tool commit a crime?   Listen as we talk about the obvious and some people's heads explode with obvious, logical, and objective reasoning.            ...

What is foolish? What is good judgment? Is there any type of good when judging?   Proverbs 26:4-5 says, "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.

Proverbs 26:4-5 says, "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes." Do not debate with a fool on their own terms. That is a futile action. But who is a fool? What is a fool? How do you talk to fools? Listen as we take apart this passage and discuss the topic of which we all fall into f...

Is the one worth it? Have you ever found yourself in a place of questioning your work? Do you feel like all the time and effort and energy and resources you've so diligently poured into what you are doing is not making a difference? Is it not worth it?   I have. I've fought those same negative questions, that same negative thinking. But what do you do when the statistics that you can view don't ma...

There have been an estimated 117 billion people in all of existence, and an estimated 80 billion could be lost for all eternity.   How can we help those lost, and how can we keep them from choosing to be separated for eternity?

Did you know that there have been an estimated 117 billion humans that have existed on this earth since the beginning? According to some statistics, that is.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
