Clear, only mildly delusional!
Christian. Clear. Conservative. It’s unusual to bring together a cast of characters like this. These are faithful and thoughtful guys who tell it like it is. I do wish there were more engagement with Scripture and more skepticism of the Trump administration, but the discussions are consistently excellent and worthy of your time. You should know that sometimes the podcast can be hilariously and thoroughly in the bag for President Trump — entertaining, if a bit frustrating at times, for sure. ... more

A Bullhorn of Truth
I am writing from a basement somewhere in Florida, where I have been locked in for an unknown amount of time. Every now and then this weird family makes me sew together a random flag that I think they put out in their front yard. I’ve been really busy lately with the addition of several of their flags. I stumbled upon a smuggled iPhone, and the only communication I’ve had with the outside world has been this podcast. I dare say in my hopelessness, it has given me hope. It sounds like the world ... more

It is so refreshing to listen to this podcast. To quote an all-time great movie "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills" when, as a Christian, I have to defend my vote for Donald Trump due to his many personal failures, flaws and even bad policies at times, but somehow, Christians who voted for Biden/Harris can just wish away their catastrophically evil beliefs and policies.
PS I can't keep your names straight, but the Florida guy's joke about sending drag queens to alligator alacatraz made me LOL... more

Trouble Brewing in Virginia
Christians in Virginia are facing a crisis in the upcoming Lt. Governor’s race this November (Virginia state elections are in the off-year). The Republican LG candidate, John Reid is a homosexual “married” to another man. He is fairly conservative on most issues and has even spoken out against boys playing on girls sports. His policies would be head and shoulders above his leftist, Democrat opponent but most Christians that I know are very torn on what to do. I have even had pastors ask me my op... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Seeks Heaven, Peace Talks, NFL Wokeness and Evangelical Friend Policing

Q: What would you say to someone who believes Christians should not appear to be Republican or Democrat to reach unbelievers effectively?

I appreciate any sensitivity towards evangelism, but it's a flawed premise to suggest that we must remain nonpartisan given the moral implications of current political issues.

The Middle East, Mental Health, and the Crisis of Modern Faith

Q: What does this mean for eschatology?

Eschatological interpretations depend on individual perspectives, but many Christians find hope in Christ being sovereign amidst current events.

It’s time for Christians to be culture warriors, the impact of your vote, and how gay will June be?

Q: What percentage of Christians do you think would actually take action like this?

The hosts reflect on the struggle within the church to mobilize Christians for action against views that oppose their beliefs, suggesting that many Christians prefer to stay passive rather than actively engaging in culture or politics.

Tragedy in New Orleans, Greenland the 51st state, and Zuckerberg with Nathan Leamer

Q: Nathan, can I tee this up and have you high level, say what happened this week with Zuckerberg's video that he did and what he laid out?

Zuckerberg announced that Meta is ending its controversial fact-checking regime and promised to reduce censorship on Instagram and Facebook while enabling more civic and political discourse.

The California Wildfires, Remembering President Carter, and America is SO back!

Q: What are your thoughts on the impact and legacy of Jimmy Carter?

The discussion pointed out how his policies may be viewed as failures, but his post-presidency humanitarian work, particularly with Habitat for Humanity, has defined much of his legacy in a positive light.
