    He is still in the HATE phase. Like all religions, there is good and bad.

    Study Martin Luther in depth and he becomes much more sinister.

  • Loosing faith in this show rapidly

    I had started falling away from your show because it was becoming very “water is wet” informative but with this last guest; episode 324 on revelation; your guest basically spends the entire show calling anyone who looks around the world and sees some real Nephilim days of Noah looking weather hitting us as being ignorant. She basically uses the whole show to say revelation isn’t even relevant because we don’t know the exact day or hour. What was the point in Jesus showing John all of this if we ... more

    Joe Biden is not a Boomer. He’s a silent generation which is the generation prior to the boomers.

    Nice rant, but deceptive.

    Truth is only 4 presidents have been boomers. Clinton, Bush jr, Obama and Trump.

    There are 7 presidents who are from the greatest generation. JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush sr.

    Boomers are blamed for their own failures and the failures of the silent generation too. When people complain about boomers quite often they use silent generation people ... more

  • Refreshing and honest

    I pick and choose which episodes to invest my time and energy in, I’ve never been disappointed. I appreciate the perspectives of guests on the show and how well the host reflects and moderates. As a parent and listener with kids, I would love to see or hear a brief disclaimer ahead of time if guests use profanity or references abuse during the episode. That way I can save a particular episode for a later time. Thanks for all you do!
