Hi everyone! Thank you for being here. Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military. I end each show by sharing some scripture from the Bible (without being too pushy). My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life). I’ve got timestamps below on the various topics, as well as source notes you can refer to.Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week.

I believe that not only can God give you ever-lasting life, but that He can also give you peace in this life. God is like a good shepherd. He leads you by the still waters. He restores your soul. He guides you out of the death and destruction of sin. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here.By the way, if you’re dealing with depression, PTSD, or thoughts of suicide, I have a link I’d like you to check out. In fact, it’s an entire page long. A pep talk, if you will, that I believe will help. I also have listed a hotline that you can call, whether you’re a service member or just a civilian. Here’s the page: PTSD. As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to God and the Bible for that — not a country, not a party, and certainly not a person.

You can find it below. Love my moderate, optimistic view of politics and want to know more about how I see things? Go here:I always like to end with an important reminder, whether you’re a Chrisitan or not.
