Welcome to Culture in Christianity. We've got a special podcast for you today for a couple of reasons.

One is our guest. NASA has been in the news a lot. I hope most of us, or many of us, have been watching Artemis and their mission around the moon and back and their successful landing and see them rescued

reminds me of what I used to watch when I was much younger.

So it has a lot of good feelings.

So we got an astronaut that actually lives here in Murphersboro, Commander Huit Gibson.

Actually, he and his wife, Ray Seddon, were both astronauts.

And so I had an opportunity to sit down with

Commander Gibson and learn a little bit about NASA. He was on multiple space shuttle missions,

was the captain for multiple space shuttle missions, as well as a test pilot, just some remarkable

things. He's won the Reno Air Race, has competed it multiple times.

For those of you that are into flight and aviation,

I suspect you know what that's about.

So he's a remarkable person in and of himself,

and I think you'll enjoy the conversation we had.

But the other part of the podcast today is we taped it

as a part of a daily current events show that we do called AJ Now.

And we wanted you to see the kind of the behind the scenes, all the things that go into producing that daily current events conversations with people who are thought leaders and influence policy and are really engaged in what's happening

in our nation and in global events. And so you're going to get kind of a behind-the-scenes peak

at all the components and some of the team that work on that. You know, you tend to see me

in front of a camera, but there are dozens of people much smarter than me that have to work

really hard to make the part you get to see work.

And so we wanted to introduce you to AJ now if you're not familiar with it.
