This is an exciting moment for me!  One of my former students wrote a book, a good one at that!  This week's guest is Taja Hereford who is here to talk about her book, Power of Now.  I have read the book and recommend it to you.  Warning, its a short book that will take you a long time to read!  But, its worth the time.  Power Here takes you on a journey that's goal is a closer relationship with G...

There is no doubt our current political climate is deeply divided.  Many a family dinner and friendly conversation has been destroyed by that one blowhard who lacks any sense of nuance and self-control.  Yet, as grown adults, and especially believers in Christ, we should be able to at least act civilly with those with whom we disagree.  My guest today is Malcolm Hunter, a true kindred spirit who a...

You've heard from the Republicans and last week you heard from the Democrats.  Now, let's hear from a new and refreshing voice - one not sold out to big name donors or special interests.  Let me introduce you to a rare find - a decent man running for office.  This week I introduce you to Phil Anderson, a Libertarian running for US Senate here in Wisconsin.  Phil has my endorsement, listen in to fi...

Wisconsin voters will be heading to the polls on Tuesday, August 13 to vote on two referendum questions that would see to change our state constitution.  On this special bonus episode, I'm going to put on my teacher hat and seek to let you know both sides of this debate.  While I will be voting yes to both questions, I think you will see I treat each guest with respect and try to find common groun...

On this episode Pastor Joe Walls from People's Church in Beloit talk about a struggle we go through from time to time, discouragement.  This was supposed to be one episode, but as Joe and I got to talking, it turned into three!  So, you'll want to listen to this conversation for sure.  Of course, this being recorded in the summer, I had to mock Joe's sweater.  I love these sweaters, but my wife al...

In a dark and troubled world, joy can be a hard thing to find.   The very pursuit of joy can seem like an overwhelming burden at times.  But author Jennifer Michelle Greenberg is here to give us a different perspective, a much more Biblical perspective.  True joy points us to Christ and His strength, it is not a command to muster up on your own.  You won't want to miss this episode! Tracy's Joyful...

This evening, the nation is in shock.  Former President Donald Trump was the victim of an unspeakable and reprehensible act of violence, a political asination attempt.  Blood stained the side of his face as brave secret service agents shielded Trump with their own lives. One supporter has been seriously injured and tragically, another has been ushered into eternity.   The shooter was taken down qu...

Many of you are like me, so-called "double haters" - those who don't like either major party candidate for President.  I'm a #NeverTrump conservative without much of a political home.  So, I'm looking at third party candidates.  On this episode I interview Randall Terry, a pro-life advocate nominated by the Constitution Party to run for President.  Warning - this just might be the most controversi...

Welcome to my very first episode!  Listen in as I introduce both myself and the podcast. Then I jump into the big issue at hand - should Joe Biden be replaced on the Democratic ticket for President and if so, who should replace him?  I will handicap the major contenders as well as introduce a potential candidate that the mainstream media may have overlooked.
