This week, my guest Katherine Dee and I discuss a couple of the topics that she has tackled in her writings over at her Default Friend blog.

Katherine writes, "If there's one drum I've been beating for a minute now, it's that I believe the pendulum with sexuality is going to swing, big time. And seriously, if you guys remember...

GM Davis joins me this week for the lighthearted topics of the Antichrist, the apocalypse, and globalization. He wrote a very good book on this called, "Antichrist: The Fulfillment of Globalization". We get into world history, Church history, central banks, the events that changed the course of history, and where we may be headed next. In this interview, as in the book, you will learn that gnostic...

My guest this week is Noelle Mering, author of the book, Awake Not Woke: A Christian Response to the Cult of Progressivism . The Woke phenomenon has been covered on this show before, but not in the more well-rounded manner in which we cover it in this episode. Noelle and I discuss the tenets of Wokeism, but we also get into the darker, more evil aspects of it as we talk about the spiritual warfare...

My guest this week is the brilliant and entertaining David Patrick Harry from Church of the Eternal Logos. David and I discuss the makeup and theology of the NPC, that is, the non-playable character. NPCs are all around us, and you likely have friends, coworkers, and family members who are NPCs. It's one thing to just poke fun at them and laugh, but we more so get into what forces are behind the p...

My guest is writer, online marketing pro, and Director of Marketing at Allsides.com, Julie Mastrine. Julie has a heck of a story, and as we detail it, she brings to light many of the supposed "truths" we are taught about left-wing politics, New Age spirituality, and feminism. She was deep into all of those and had enough awareness to realize that it's all completely nihilistic and antithetical to...
