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...

"To be a drag queen is to be reborn, over and over again, in an image of your own creation. This is empowering." Heidi Klaassen, Salon.com To remake yourself in your own image, to be reborn—brought back to life—and to undergo a complete spiritual change—to be your own god—this is empowering; this is self-love. In the few minutes we have, we will look at this main question: "Ask not why the childre...

Affirm a child's identifier immediately or else. "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." (John Adams) There are a few things that this world demands of others, but they all revolve around the forceful affirmation of, often times, a false identity. In this episode, we will disc...

Have you ever wondered why the attack on God and what God stands for has become increasingly rampant? No God in schools; no God in public; no God in politics; no God in church buildings—remember when they tried to shut down church services? Listen as Josh explains why both religion and politics are important and inseparable, and hear his deductive reasoning on why culture and certain political ide...

If you repeat a lie long enough, people will begin to think it true; and afterward, those who speak the truth will be viewed as crazy lunatics and conspiracy nuts. Anyway.

So much great information; so much great revelation; so much great, well, stuff.   Listen to each episode to learn a new insight, find that nugget of positivity and...

The enemy isn't exactly slapping "liar" across his forehead these days—he's way too clever. Instead, he sneaks in with half-truths, sly phrasing, exploits our ignorance, and whispers straight to our selfish desires. And guess what? Social media is his playground. He doesn't need to yell to be heard. He just needs you to scroll, nod, and keep sharing. In this podcast episode, you'll hear how to spo...

Do you support the Constitution of the United States? Do you believe in "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness? Do you support our unalienable, God-given rights?

In this five-part series, we will tackle some of those taboo topics, some of those politically incorrect topics, some of those topics that do matter but we often shy away from out of fear, threats, ignorance, and, sometimes, blin...

Abortion. Abortion is a big topic, again, and, yet, so many people struggle with an answer on this. They struggle with picking a stance, they struggle with who and what they claim to believe in and have faith in and what they or their party desires. Who you serve will help you find your answer. Your god will lead you. A God of life, or a god of death? Remember, the next generation is in your hands...

There are many things in life that we tolerate, support, stand against, or, sometimes, are apathetic to.

In this four-part series, we will tackle some of those taboo topics,...

It does; and you do, too. You matter, your voice matters, and you should never let someone silence your voice…so long as you are not speaking from the gutter as well. Be tough, but be gentle. Can you Forgive in these instan...
