    I appreciate the Palestinian perspective addressed on your show. Years ago I read a book called Blood Brothers by Archbishop Elias Chacour (Galilee) which documented his experiences growing up in the Holy Land. I have had to do my own research into the history of the area as what I learned in school and/or the church was inaccurate and so very very wrong.

  • I’m willing to talk about my experience investing in bitcoin. You can, however, get your stolen bitcoins back. I was taught that recovering bitcoin was impossible, therefore I never thought it was conceivable. I recently lost close to $550,000 after falling for a forex scam that promised absurdly large returns. I looked everywhere for assistance before finding a META TECH Recovery article online. When I contact META TECH Recovery, my excitement was once more total. Get in touch with META TECH Re... more

  • The only centrists I respect

    As a Christian who is also a socialist and who finds themselves most at home in Greek Orthodoxy these days, I have many disagreements with the three hosts. Yet, I find their analysis deeply helpful in understanding American Christian politics. They also provide a more reasonable articulation of Evangelicalism which I wish was more common. The faith would be better for it.

    God bless yall.

  • Great show

    With all the content available, it shouldn’t be this difficult to find Christian commentary that provides an even-handed non-politicized view of modern culture and events. I’ve been very happy listening to Phil and his crew in this regard as they provide thoughtful, challenging, and entertaining commentary on the days’ events. People of all political stripes should give it a listen and acknowledge our shared, messy, and loving faith.

Q: How do you practically slow down and ponder when the rest of the world is going at a faster pace than ever?

692: Vertical vs. Horizontal Morality & Rediscovering Confession with Jamin Goggin
Q: What should happen if you have a horizontal moral system?
You should say, 'I'm not murdering someone even if an authority figure has told me to do that.'

Q: Do you think the education system should 'normalize' support like that which Mr. Eason provided?
Yes, we should ensure everyone has access to mentors and support systems rather than leaving it to chance.
