From My Standpoint

The Right Side: Not Just the Winning Side In an age where outrage is currency and victory is prized above virtue, this podcast dares to ask: What is the cost of winning if it means losing our soul? The Right Side challenges the growing belief that power is more important than principle. Through powerful storytelling and unflinching honesty, this episode calls us to rise above tribalism, outrage, and hatred — to reclaim empathy, courage, truth, and moral clarity. From political violence and cultural chaos to the erosion of values and compassion, this message cuts through the noise...

From My Standpoint

Are you the architect of your own future—or just the unlucky extra in a cosmic soap opera? In this kickoff episode of Destiny Decoded, Josh C.

With humor, insight, and a few punches of perspective, Josh walks us through the dilemma of destiny—why it's not as much about luck or fate as it is about the power of choice. Whether you're...

(Special Episode) No Kings Day show art (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...

Are you getting paid peanuts for the work you do? If so, what can you do about it?   Are you paying someone else peanuts for their work? If so, have you just created a circus?   I found this quote in a very unlikely place, but it fits well with most people’s perceptions and stations in life. What is that quote? Listen and find out.   But know this: You are worth more than you think.                   NOTES: Intro/Outro Bumper Music: Evening Melodrama Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By...

From My Standpoint

Can a tool be evil? Is an inanimate object inherently evil?   What are your thoughts on this? Well, mine are expressed in this episode.   In this episode we will tackle what should be an easy-to-answer question: Is a tool evil? Are guns evil? Can a tool commit a crime?   Listen as we talk about the obvious and some people’s heads explode with obvious, logical, and objective reasoning.                   NOTES: Intro/Outro Bumper Music: Evening Melodrama Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By...

From My Standpoint

What is foolish? What is good judgment? Is there any type of good when judging?   Proverbs 26:4-5 says, “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.”   Listen as we take apart this passage and discuss the topic of which we all fall into from time to time but one which only wisdom can escape.   You will want to hear part 2.                   NOTES: The Wisdom of Dad Joke Music: The Curtain Rises Kevin MacLeod...
