  • Epic interview with Ukrainian pastor

    Joseph, your interview with Ukrainian Pastor Gennadiy Mokhnenko was riveting. Every American pastor and Christian, for that matter, should listen to this before we all find ourselves in the same regretful “We tried to warn you” crisis. Pastor Mokhnenko is so right: we should not use the rejection of man as an excuse for not speaking the truth. That is exactly what Jesus said would happen and, yet, he still said GO!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Screen Addiction: Can Kids Break Free? (Ep. 260)
Q: What practical steps can parents take right now?
She advocates for intentional, practiced discipline—not perfection—such as family devotion, modeling Proverbs-based habits, and delaying device access until older ages, plus hands-on exploration of a child's apps to understand what their children are seeing.
Screen Addiction: Can Kids Break Free? (Ep. 260)
Q: How should parents approach AI and its role in their kids' lives?
The guest warns that AI can quickly become a pervasive, seductive authority for children, potentially replacing parental guidance and biblical framework unless parents actively supervise and limit use.
Screen Addiction: Can Kids Break Free? (Ep. 260)
Q: What are the key brain and soul impacts you highlight?
She emphasizes that early screen exposure can affect memory formation, executive function, and future regulation, while also shaping a child's sense of meaning and belonging through social and spiritual development.
The Iran Problem, and the U.S. Manufacturing Base (Ep. 259)
Q: What are your thoughts on the effectiveness of sanctions and potential for regime change?
Sanctions, including secondary ones and a robust blockade, can tilt the balance against the regime if they reduce its resources, but achieving regime change is complex and may require broader diplomatic and regional support, including non-American actors.
The Iran Problem, and the U.S. Manufacturing Base (Ep. 259)
Q: What is the primary strategic objective in handling Iran currently?
The primary objective is to ensure Iran never achieves a nuclear capability, with debate ongoing about whether to pursue isolation, regime change, or a combination of sanctions and pressure to weaken the regime.
