Episode 356 - Not One, But Many 02.04.2023

New polling shows Americans no longer value the things that used to hold us together as a nation -- patriotism, hard work, family, religion. We no longer agree even on basic biological truths.

Episode 353 - Drag Queens of the Gun World 06.03.2023

In this week's episode, Lloyd and Pastor Bennett review a 2014 video that resurfaced on Facebook this week.

Episode 343 - They Saw the Same Star Rising 25.12.2022

A Christmas message based on the account of author Henry Williamson of the Christmas Truce on the Ypres salient in 1914. That account, published in the London Daily Express in 1937, reminds us that even during that deadly and bitter conflict, we are all God's children.
