Today on the podcast Nate Richardson joins me as we have a conversation about End Times prophecy. Nate dives deep to illuminate prophecies made in scripture, Mormon sou...

For those who listen to the podcast regularly it comes as nosurprises that I am sometimes embarrassingly patriotic and passionate about America’s founding principles.

Dr. Chase Spears is a combat veteran...

On this episode Michael Ness joins me again, only this time we are going to do something a little bit different.
