Episode 101: The Civil War and Slavery (PART 1)
From My Standpoint
The Civil War was the bloodiest war fought on American soil, and it was fought by Americans. But there have been many misconceptions about this time of American history; some are understandably so, and others are done intentionally.

Some of what we discover might shock you; some might outright offend you; but it is only through research that we can truly understand this time in America and hopefully become better...

(Special Episode) No Kings Day
From My Standpoint
A powerful and provocative political poem that explores the erosion of liberty and constitutional principles in the face of unchecked executive power. Through vivid imagery and a rhythmic structure, we draw parallels between historical monarchy and modern political leadership—suggesting that while kings may not wear crowns today, their methods of suppression, censorship, and control persist under new guises. With this poem we critique the consolidation of authority, the circumvention of democratic process, and the silencing of dissent, all while calling you to recognize the fragility of...

Proverbs 26:4-5 says, “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.

info_outlineSociety has declined. We are told every day that racism is rampant, crime is surging, murder and shootings are becoming normal occurrences, education scores have plummeted, kids are becoming more and more disrespectful and violent, and morality, good character, and truth have been evaporating from culture.
Evolution states that all came from nothing and that out of randomness and chaos came order; we are told that the world should be getting better—more righteous, good, more enlightened, and more generous.
But is that really what we are seeing?
Or has something been removed, something foundational to a moral people and a society of order?
Let’s talk about this and see if we can’t, individually, answer this question of “What happened?”
