The Garrett Ashley Mullet Show

In the 2006 Alfonso Cuarón sci-fi flick ‘Children of Men,’ Clive Owen plays Theo Faron, a man tasked with delivering the last young woman on Earth capable of having children to a place where she will be protected and looked-after. For some unknown reason, everyone else has become infertile. The film is set in the not-so-distant future, the year 2027. And the premise is gripping. With years having...

As American Christians, I think it's hard for us to imagine being persecuted in our own country. Perhaps if we were trying to serve as missionaries in North Korea or China or the Middle East, we could expect to be arrested, beaten, or put to death just for sharing the gospel. But here in the United States? Why not? What prevents violent and systematic persecution of Christianity from our shores?&n...

JP Chavez messaged me yesterday afternoon to ask the following question: "How does one get better at communication? Specifically in regards to what you are having Josiah do this summer, how do you train yourself o organize your thoughts and distill information, then train yourself to express them in a coherent way?" As part of my answer to JP's excellent question, I explained how I have filled out...

Last night as I was sorting and folding laundry, I called my 13-year-old son up and handed him two books. Then I outlined for him a summer reading plan project. The two books I handed him are co-written by the same two men: Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. Seasoned and experienced Navy SEAL leaders who have had long, full careers in the military and outside of it putting leadership principles into pr...

LinkedIn Senior News Editor Andrew Seaman wrote me yesterday morning asking my thoughts on what is being called the 'Great Resignation' - 30-40% of the workforce signaling in polls and surveys that they want to change jobs post-COVID lockdowns. What is my advice for people looking to make a move, either now or in the near future? Listen in to find out.

I just finished this book by Nathan O. Hatch - 'The Democratization of American Christianity.' So let's talk about it, shall we?

"The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools." So said Sir William F. Butler, according to the meme sent to me yesterday by my neighbor JP Chavez. This quote is also attributed more anciently to Thucydides, the ancient Greek philosopher (460BC-395BC). And we know that this sentiment is true and universal, regardles...

In Pt. 2 of this series, I make the following claim: "In a healthy marriage, in a functional marriage...you're serving your spouse, your spouse is serving you, and together you're serving God in the way that you serve one another. And we need to be mindful of that." And on this point you may be asking yourself, ‘Where is this idea of husbands serving their wives and wives serving their husbands fo...

In reading The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, I have especially enjoyed the parts where Grant talks about his relationship with President Lincoln. And within their interactions Grant recounts, I found particularly amusing the fact that Grant pledged to the President – amidst a statement of his general intentions for prosecuting the war against the Confederate armies – that he would endeavor...

Someone recently asked me why anyone should bother with marriage. Isn't it more trouble than it's worth, particularly for men in our society? The courts are biased against them and in favor of women. The churches also in the way they typically emphasize passages pertaining to the responsibility of men in relationship while also de-emphasizing the responsibilities of women. What feminism has wrough...

Yesterday morning my family stayed home from church. We also stayed home from church the Sunday before that. Before you go wondering, let me assure you our reasons for staying home were not anger and bitterness. The sky is blue, the grass is green, and Lauren is pregnant. And with pregnancy at this stage also comes nausea and fatigue. So we felt it best to stay home and help her (and the rest of u...

For this week's Family Movie Night, we watched another Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical - 'Oklahoma!' Having built up all my expectations off The Sound of Music and The King and I, this experience was not those. Or at a minimum, Oklahoma! is not The Sound of Music. For some idea of what I mean, check out this page for the 1955 version at Common Sense Media. With songs like "I Can't Say No," and a...

Dovetailing off recent episodes of this podcast - Episode #116 'Why Men Hate Going to Church' and Episode #130 'Reverse Sexism in American Churches' - I want to talk about the Men's Rights Movement. Micah Hershberger sent me two videos this week to mull over. Watch for our forthcoming episode of On The Rocks podcast in which we discuss those further. But for this episode, I want to take some time...

My son Daniel recently talked me into playing American Trucking Simulator with him on our computers, and I have to admit that this is a fun little game. Yesterday morning before going to work, I had saved up enough money to buy my first big rig. And as of last night before bed I had nearly completed my first run in the new truck - taking a load of large buoys from Colorado Springs to Spokane, Wash...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis should have the R for Republican behind his name changed to a C for Courage. The Daily Wire reported yesterday: 'DeSantis On NCAA Threat To Pull Events From States That Protect Girl Sports: ‘To Hell’ With Your ‘Events.’ DeSantis, then, has done what South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem lacked the nerve to. Are you taking notes, Republican Party? This is what your co...

Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey made headlines over the weekend by v etoing 22 bills passed by his state's legislature. He claims he vetoed these bills because Arizona lawmakers need to pass a budget and have it on his desk ASAP. But is that the real reason? Also, I am down to the last little bit of Russell Shorto's 'The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan a...

For this weekend's family movie night, we watched The King and I (1956). Starring Yul Brynner as King Mongkut of Siam and Deborah Kerr as Anna Leonowens, this classic musical was another standby for me growing up.  Lauren and the kids never having seen it before, they now can say they have seen it. And a whole host of interesting topics came up in the course of watching. For instance, "Who is...

60 Minutes uploaded a video to YouTube on May 16, 2021 titled 'Navy pilots describe encounters with UFOs.' As of May 30, roughly 7.5 million views have racked up, and there are over 42,000 comments. It seems every time I refresh the home pages for The Blaze, The Epoch Times, and The Daily Wire, there is another story on new disclosures from the U.S. government regarding UFOs. For instance, I read...

According to Wikipedia, "reverse sexism" is defined as follows: "Reverse sexism is sexism directed towards men and boys. This form of sexism includes any form of prejudice or discrimination against men and boys. This can include stereotyping that may negatively impact men." Without knowing there was a term for it, the concept has been on my mind for a long time, particularly in the context of Amer...

What if China did intentionally manipulate and then release COVID-19? Reporting from Ryan Saavedra at The Daily Wire today - Biden Admin: ‘We Haven’t Ruled Out’ Possibility That Pandemic From China Was Deliberately Unleashed . They will surely circle back on that one. Of course the anti-nationalist, anti-national self-interest, political and governing establishment - which resents and utterly...

Here is my homework for you from this episode: Listen to Thrive by Newsboys, and read the lyrics. Read this satirical article , and also this serious article.

LinkedIn told me yesterday that as much as 25% of the workforce in America has stated it intends to change jobs now that the COVID-19 pandemic is over.  That in conjunction with a conversation I had with a friend who is interviewing for jobs and hates his current one has me thinking back over my working life. I can relate to men who wonder whether they missed the boat. Hostile work environmen...

One of the things that was prophesied concerning John the Baptist was that in calling Israel to repentance and heralding the arrival of the promised Messiah, he would turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children. In our day, entirely too much talk of suicidal children is relevant and necessary. But the reason we have so many children thinking of taking their own lives is because we have s...

Our family movie night this week featured the 1965 classic, The Greatest Story Ever Told. Featuring Max von Sydow as Jesus and Charlton Heston as John the Baptist, this film was one of my favorites growing up. Yes, the actor playing Jesus has funny hair. My son Eli was quick to point that out.  But I want to key in on Heston's portrayal of John the Baptist here. John Lazarus Mullet, Lauren's...

Roman Catholic bishops weigh whether to withhold communion from pro-choice government officials and politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. But then they get pressure from higher up in the food chain to relent. Atop the pyramid sits a Progressive pope, so that stands to reason. Gone are the days when Americans worried that electing John Fitzgerald Kennedy would mean the pope was actually runn...
