  • Too much rambling

    It’s a good premise but there’s way too much banter about nothing important. I got sick of trying to hunt for the good stuff. Also the host brags about not shopping at walmart, extravagant xmas gifts and other consumeristic values.

  • My dose of sanity

    I love listening to this podcast because it is a great antidote to the extreme and un-Christ-like positions and behaviors I see in many of my fellow Christians. I have learned of and read some great books after hearing their authors interviewed here. But the interviews are more than just a plug; the conversations are in-depth and enlightening. Thank you, Doug Paget and VCG!

  • lefties can love Jesus too

    I'm a Christian who had stopped going to church manly because of conservative political opinions from fellow Parishioners; once I went to shake the hand of the person next to me as a brother in Christ, the person would not offer his hand and just said, “libatard.” I'm from a small town that mostly votes conservative because of my job. Most people know me, and thanks to Facebook, everyone knows I believe spending the amount of taxes we pay that goes to corporations vs. what amount of taxes promot... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Listening To Those Who Left MAGA
Q: What would you say to someone who is in MAGA and doubts their path but fears leaving?
I would encourage patience, listening, and seeking out nonjudgmental support groups; change is possible when there is a safe space to examine beliefs and a real exit ramp that preserves relationships rather than severing them entirely.
Listening To Those Who Left MAGA
Q: How do you describe the process of disengaging from a movement that provided community?
It was a gradual reorientation that involved rebuilding personal identity, explaining to loved ones why I was leaving, and finding or creating new communities that prioritized nonviolence, dialogue, and healing rather than confrontation.
Listening To Those Who Left MAGA
Q: What moment made you realize you needed to rethink your involvement with MAGA?
The realization grew over time as the coverage and messaging became increasingly incongruent with my lived experiences; the final turning point was recognizing the harm and the manipulation, which led me to leave and seek a healthier path for my beliefs and relationships.
Live from Mpls, Dems win in Texas, ICE & Epstein Files Update
Q: What do you think the mood is like in Minneapolis right now?
The mood is resilient, sad, angry, and determined, as people respond to threats from the federal government.
Faith Leader Conversation With James Talarico - Texas Senate Candidate
Q: What do you consider to be the greatest misconception regarding the role of faith in democracy?
Talarico explains that the misconception is confusing the separation of church and state with a separation of faith and politics, insisting that faith should inform politics.
