The Garrett Ashley Mullet Show

Both practical and principle, here are the concerns which compel me to oppose mandated mask-wearing. Intro/Outro Music: Black Maria by Pistol Jazz

On The Rocks podcast with Micah Hershberger is a thing now! I am really excited about this new collaborative work. With weekly episodes discussing current events in light of the Christian worldview and history, I believe listeners will really enjoy and benefit from our analysis and commentary. The Garrett Ashley Mullet Show as a solo project will also doubtless benefit as well as I continue refini...

A listener writes asking how to respond when friends and family dismiss the links to stories he shares as "fake news."  Also, how can a factually accurate story be part of a misinformation campaign as Ben Roose at The New York Times recently alleged?  Perhaps it is time for conservatives, Christians, and especially conservative Christians to more intentionally develop and pursue new media outlets...

Current events keep reminding me of Proverbs 24. Let's talk about that passage of the Old Testament wisdom literature, shall we? Intro/Outro Music: Black Maria by Pistol Jazz

The mainstream media has decided to conspire together in telling us the election is over and that Biden has won the presidency, despite the following legitimate concerns and irregularities, just to name a few: 1. prematurely calling Arizona for Biden despite ample reason to believe sufficient Trump votes would come in from Maricopa county to give that state to the incumbent 2. freezing the vote co...

It's my birthday and I'll talk about life if I want to. Intro/Outro Music: Black Maria by Pistol Jazz

Why do I want to talk about everything? Some have advised me to pick a topic, subject, or issue and make my podcast more focused.  Myopic single-factor analysis gets us into trouble, though. And someone needs to talk about everything so we connect the dots rightly.  This is the information age, and information is great. But in order to make productive use of information, we have to get wisdom and...

You may have never heard of Edward Bernays, but he had your number. The father of public relations gave us the modern mass marketing campaign as well as making Sigmund Freud - his double uncle - a household name. Maybe, just maybe, the trick to not falling for propaganda, fake news, and deceptive marketing practices that prey on our emotions has something to do with picking up Neil Postman's premi...

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, on-purpose and for a reason. At the time of this recording, I am up to 44 titles finished since the beginning of the year.  Tune in to find out what I am listening to and why. Intro/Outro Music: Black Maria by Pistol Jazz

To frack or not to frack? That is the question.  Rather, that is one of the questions at stake in the 2020 election here in the United States of America. But what are the implications of our options? On a personal level, as someone who has worked in the Oil & Gas industry in America since 2012, I see this question as directly impacting my ability to provide for my family. There is more on the line...

Even before all the craziness surrounding COVID-19, the past couple of years have proven a challenge for me and my family.  But why did I get into political commentary to begin with, and why will I not leave these things well enough alone, particularly in light of hardships?  This is my story.

The final presidential debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden is behind us. But do we really understand the nature of the larger debate, or are we too caught up in the individual personalities of the two men running? Intro/Outro Music: Black Maria by Pistol Jazz

The year is 2020, and a pandemic rages on around the world. Only not all of us are quite sure it still is a pandemic, if ever it was. Originally written and published at On The Rocks Blog (onthe.rocks).

In this episode, I will read the front page headlines from this morning's Drudge Report, and provide a running commentary.

In this episode, I want to discuss the need for rebuke and repentance in the life of the church and Christians today.

Happy New Year! Let's talk about the wall President Trump wants to build, people who hate America, the gospel, and how to actually make America great again.

Let's talk about the book I'm reading right now, Mao: The Untold Story.

Let's talk about new beginnings, hunting, conservatism, and developing stronger stomachs.

Today is Election Day in the U.S., and there's a great deal of hype and anxiety over whether Donald Trump or the Democrats will destroy America. Today we go out and vote - and the future of our nation and people depends on that - but that future depends as much or more on us de-secularizing our approach to life, and integrating the Christian faith into every aspect of our being.

What do we mean when we say that someone lacks the temperament for this or that position or appointment?

In this episode, I discuss the famous Byzantine general, Belisarius, as well as King David of Israel, Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavenaugh, slander, and insecurity.

Russell Moore wrote an article about evangelical Christianity in America and how it relates to theological and political issues. I discuss that article along with news that the Trump administration is going to officially look into whether Google and Facebook have violated anti-trust laws.

When is criticism helpful, and when is it not?

Let's talk about Tesla, job offers, priorities, goals, focus, and the ability to say 'No' to some things so you can pursue others.

I got up and looked to Facebook, but there was no solace there, only a lot of people posting the highlights of their personal lives. I checked my LinkedIn, but that was another disappointment; all I found there was people posting the highlights of their professional lives. Then I remembered my wife asking me yesterday if I wanted to read through Hebrews for a Bible study she's doing. So I surfed m...
