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), and then talk about PTSD and depression (since life is hard and the veteran suicide rate is FAR too high). My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life).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.

As a final scripture reminder, do not grow weary in doing good. Even if you’re just helping one hungry kid or donating one school backpack, that might not solve world hunger or fix everything in our country (or your neighborhood), but you are doing good. So, don’t feel overwhelmed by the size of the world’s problems. If you know nothing about the Bible, but want to test the waters and maybe try it out, check out my resource page here. Finally, be a part of some community, if nothing else. Before we end, I always like to end each week’s edition with this one:So, if you’re one of those people who say you’re a good moral person and you don’t need God or Christianity to be good, then I’m challenging you to be REALLY good and be the reason someone smiles. We need more people to be a light in the world. And with that, thanks for joining us this week on The View from the Front.If you can, consider at some point becoming a paid subscriber.
