Ep. 214 - Inefficient Progress Is Better Than No Progress [Business 300]

When starting off, you don’t need to be efficient. That'll come later. When starting off, you need to move. Efficiency is great when you’ve got momentum, systems, and clarity. But if you're at the starting line, still obsessing over the best way to take the first step, then you’re not building. You’re stalling.

James Lindsay and American Sneetches | Having Two Legs [Having Two Legs]

James Lindsey is right that without a transcendent standard, both leftists and the “dank right” can reduce politics to power plays and drift toward fascism. But the flaw in his critique is that he won’t acknowledge the true foundation: God’s Word as the ultimate authority over law, liberty, and justice. Only by rooting constitutions and cultures in Scripture can nations resist both woke ideology and right-wing distortions.

The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith (ft. @DrSteveTurleyTV) [CrossPolitic Show]

In this episode of Crosspolitic, we sat down with Dr. Steve Turley, known as the Patriot Professor, to discuss his new book "America Awakened: The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith, Family, and Freedom" and the global rise of faith-based traditionalism. Dr. Turley argues that we're witnessing the collapse of the 300-year liberal secular era and the emergence of a new golden age rooted in nation, culture, custom, tradition, and faith. The conversation explores how this civilizational populism is manifesting through the rediscovery of manhood, the renewal of family structures, and the rise of decentralized networks that bypass legacy media. Dr. Turley shares encouraging data showing men are returning to faith at unprecedented rates and discusses how the current cultural moment presents an opportunity for Christians to build, lead, and transform their communities.

We've been fellowshipping for HOURS already, Neighbor... And the baby is really ready to nurse to sleep. (Allow us to pause while the mama takes care of that...) It has been a jam-packed couple weeks of school, and there have been some tense moments in the car. The Peaches apologized for being grumpy. But, thankfully, none of the McBabies have run away from home...yet.   Do you want to annoy your wife early on a Sunday morning?  Luke can share what works for him.  Later:  When is it a good time to tell the truth? Contact the Comedian's family at [email protected]  We'd love to hear from you--unless it's 11:30 at night and you're sneezing LOUDLY.

Ep. 213 - You're Not Stuck [Business 300]

You’re not stuck. You’re just avoiding the thing you know you need to do — because it’s uncomfortable, risky, or might make someone mad. So instead, you’ve built this pretty little lie called “stuck,” and you’ve wrapped yourself in it like a warm productivity blanket.

A Christian View of Law Applied to Parental Rights Legislation [God, Law, and Liberty]

Christians should give thanks for a “Christian” outcome in a judicial dispute over a particular parental right, but I believe that is not enough. I believe the end or telos of a Christian view of law would strive to restore in law parental rights as an authority delegated by God with a prescribed jurisdiction give for certain ends—”godly offspring” (Malachi 2:15). Today I explain the legislative proposal I offered Tennessee’s legislature that would moved law in that direction.

Riff 52 - Your abundance of toilet paper is disturbing [The Comedian Next Door]

In our chat, we dive into the wild world of everyday life, chatting about everything from hoarding toilet paper like it's the new gold to the quirks of home decor that make us question our sanity. We share personal tales about our hobbies, like lake diving and the nostalgia of cereal box prizes that made us feel like treasure hunters, all while tossing in some takes on pop culture, like Superman's questionable fashion choices and those charming Southern accents that make everything sound like a song. We also explore the mind-bending paradoxes of time travel, the quirks of Quantum Leap, and our love for older TV shows that remind us of simpler times. We discuss how comedy has evolved in today's political climate, the impact of documentaries on pop culture, and the wisdom from unconventional teachers who taught us that life is one big improv show. And, of course, we can't forget our take on therapy and self-improvement, because who doesn't love a good laugh while figuring out life's mysteries? Through our banter and commentary, we reflect on how these topics intertwine with our personal experiences and societal observations, all while keeping the laughs rolling.

Housing: We Have A Plan (ft. Chris Carpenter & Jordan Clemans) [CrossPolitic Show]

In this episode of CrossPolitic, hosts Gabe Knox and Toby sit down with real estate experts Jordan Clemans and Chris Carpenter from Story Real Estate to tackle the harsh realities of today's housing market. With interest rates at 6.5%, median home prices around $400,000 nationwide, and the average first-time homebuyer now 38 years old (compared to 22 in the 1950s), the American dream of homeownership feels increasingly out of reach. The guys break down how government intervention, Federal Reserve policies, and inflated expectations have created a perfect storm that's pricing out an entire generation.   But it's not all doom and gloom. Jordan and Chris present a practical three-step framework for building generational wealth through real estate. The conversation also dives into Moscow's local housing challenges, the failure of government "affordable housing" solutions, and why community-based approaches work better than top-down bureaucratic fixes.   Check out the Story Real Estate website here: https://www.storyrealestate.com   Fight Laugh Feast 2025 Conference (October 16-18, Nashville) - Register HERE: https://flfnetwork.com

Lessons on Prayer from C.S. Lewis│The Prison Pulpit #43 [China Compass]

Follow and/or message me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I post (among other things) daily reminders to pray for China.You can also email me @ bfwesten at gmail dot com. Lastly, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us!   Why did I begin this weekly Prison Pulpit series?  To remind us all to pray for persecuted pastors and believers (such as Pastor Wang Yi) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“as bound with them”), by sharing from his own published writings in China, as well as anecdotes from other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand. Remember My Chains: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/remember-my-chains Today I’m going to look closer at 4 of the letters, dealing primarily with prayer, from last weekend’s podcast on the China letters of C.S. Lewis: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/the-cs-lewis-china-letters   1940- To his brother Warnie, on the burden of sympathy in a world of “instant” news: Barfield…is very much depressed, having a greater faculty than you or I for feeling the miseries of the world in general, which led to a good deal of argument, how far, as a man and a Christian, one ought to be vividly and continuously aware of, say, what it's like on the [front]line at this moment. I took the line that the present rapidity of communication, etc, imposed a burden on sympathy for which sympathy was never made: that the natural thing was to be distressed about what was happening to the poor Jones's in your own village and that the modern situation, in which journalism brings the Chinese, Russians, Finns, Poles and Turks to your notice each morning really could not be [faced] in the same way.  1946- To Dom Bede Griffiths, on a future Christian China and carrying all the world’s burdens: No, I don't think I feel like you, ‘disillusioned’. I think that though I am emotionally a fairly cheerful person my actual judgement of the world has always been what yours now is and so I have not been disappointed…When you say that nothing… has a value in itself, that everything has a value in relation to God, I couldn't agree with you more. And I often, like you, think that all the valuable future may lie with the Christened Chinaman. But one mustn't assume burdens that God does not lay upon us. It is one of the evils of rapid diffusion of news that the sorrows of all the world come to us every morning. I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. (This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know). 1953- To Father Manna, on the Chinese “disaster” and Western culpability in the matter: [Dearest Father Manna, regarding] your article on [the] Chinese disaster…I used [to entertain many hopes for China myself], since missionaries have served there for many years not unsuccessfully: now it is clear, as you write, that all is on the ebb. Many have reported to me too, in letters on this subject, many atrocities, nor was this misery absent from our thoughts and prayers.   Footnote- [In his letter] Fr Manna pleads for greater recognition of the gravity of Communist persecution of Christian hospital workers (as well as missionaries) in China. He argues that if [a French Communist Party leader] is arrested in the West, the Communists rise in protest. There should be no less an outcry on behalf of victimized missionaries. 1962- To Mary Van Deusen, on ignoring present pain to pray for the suffering in China: You are always in my prayers. As regards this particular matter [of moving], I sympathise both with [your husband’s] dislike of noise and your dislike of moves. I suppose one thing we must do about these minor crises is to get them into perspective. At the moment when the nuisance of the move is worst, remember that (at that precise moment) people are dying in pain and others are at their bedside, and in China children starving and men in prison camps and some of them being tortured.   Follow China Compass Follow or subscribe to China Compass on whichever platform you use.

What are some tasks that make you want to light your laptop on fire? Figure out how to delete, automate, or delegate them.   And start solving burnout — not with vacations, but with systems. Because the goal isn’t to escape your business.   The goal is to build one that doesn’t make you want to. You don’t need a break. You need a better business. It's not overwork that's causing your burnout.

Welcome to the table--watch out for flying bits of chewed carrot and shoes...  John is still unwelcome at his home church, so he gives an update on his church-hopping travels. WHAT DO YOU DO when you have nothing to do at church???  Next: Luke has a great idea for how to make an impression at the church pitch-in. But only you would get the joke, Neighbor! Everyone else would just be confused... ...and that reminds us of our late friend, Hank McGill!  Then: You have homework, Neighbor! You need to send us your best punchlines for Hank's infamous set-up...  It goes: "A guy called and asked if I wanted a subscription to Prevention Magazine, and I said: ___________________________" LATER:  You know, lots of churches pay to bring in a comedian for a night of laughs, but having one as a member of your congregation isn't always delightful.   When you order the caviar for a fancy restaurant, it feels high-value and cool.  But if you just bring caviar to the average church pitch in, it's just going to land on the floor under the highchairs, with the green beans, while everyone eats the mac-and-cheese. That analogy made sense while we were crafting it... Send your comments (and your punchlines) to [email protected]!

Lambeth, Birth Control, and Eugenics [The Pugcast]

On today's show the pugs engage an article by Oxford historian Andrew Moeller on the complicated aims and compromises of the 1930 Lambeth Conference, a watershed moment in Christianity in the West. The pugs discuss the 'gamble with the devil' that  the Church of England made, with its embrace of a modern technological understanding of reality even as it sought to remain Christian by accommodating and compromising with it. The pugs note how much of Protestantism followed suit, especially Evangelical Christianity of late.   Article Referenced: https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/03F1600B83A0FB3EE62F81EE31A36111/S002204692300060Xa.pdf/eugenics-and-the-approval-of-birth-control-at-the-1930-lambeth-conference.pdf   Support the Theology Pugcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8   Connect with Glenn and Every Square Inch Ministries at https://www.esquareinch.com/   Learn more about WPC Battle Ground: https://www.solochristo.org/   Connect with WileyCraft Productions: https://wileycraftproductions.com/

Ep. 211 - Public Virtue [Business 300]

Internal motives and thoughts do matter in our public and work life. To be effective overtime in our business pursuits - serving customers, employing people, blessing the community - we’ll need to plant a little deeper than just surface level behavior.

C.S. Lewis on China (Incl. a Shocking 1927 Exchange Between Lewis and His Brother in Hong Kong) [China Compass]

After a brief intro and the first Lewis letter (1:05), I share all ten C.S. Lewis letters that I found this week related to China (and prayer) (7:24). Then with the time I have left, I go through this week’s Pray for China cities, which include a few I want to talk a bit more about (50:55). Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast Network! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me (@chinaadventures) on Twitter/X where I post new Chinese city prayer profiles every single day, with amazing pics and links to many more China resources. Feel free to email me (bfwesten at gmail dot com) and find everything else at PrayGiveGo.us!   Although I can’t attend Grace Agenda in Moscow, ID, which starts today, entitled “Life Through the Wardrobe”, I can do something unique like look at China through Lewis’s eyes letters.  C.S. Lewis mentioned China numerous times in his personal letters. Here are a few examples, followed by my own thoughts and commentary. The first one in particular stands out for how close it comes to outright racism, especially the original letter from Lewis’s brother, Warnie.  But before getting into his China letters, let me mention one other Lewis letter that I just pulled up. Just after William Borden, the millionaire missionary, died in Egypt (he was about 10 years older than Lewis), there is a letter from Lewis (home sick from school) to his father. He writes: [In the] afternoon came the essay paper which was one after my own heart, the three alternative subjects being ‘The qualities of a successful soldier’ ‘The possibility of an universal language’, and ‘West is west and East is east, and never the twain shall meet’. I chose the last and applied it chiefly to the Indian question. It was much admired by some masters at the College. I share this for two reasons: First, to remind myself (and anyone else interested) of where my missionary hero Borden fits in the Lewis timeline (or vice versa). Second, to note that at just fifteen years old, Lewis already held strong opinions about the far East (in this case, India).  Borden of Yale: The Millionaire Missionary No Reserve, No Retreat, No Regrets www.BordenofYale.com   Pray for China places of the week  (Follow @chinaadventures to see which city daily) https://open.substack.com/pub/chinacall/p/pray-for-china-aug-10-16-2025   Follow or subscribe to China Compass and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.  And don’t forget: Follow @chinaadventures on X, and find everything else @ PrayGiveGo.us.  Luke 10, verse 2, the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Is Eating Fast Food a Sin? [Waterbreak]

If you have any questions or thoughts that you’d like to share, reach out at [email protected] Check out Annie’s new website! annierench.com Find Annie on Instagram @AnnieMRench Ever wondered if grabbing dinner at the drive-thru is just a convenience—or something deeper? We dig into the big question: is eating fast food a sin, or just a matter of conscience and wisdom? Drawing from our conversation with Joel Salatin, we wrestle with what the Bible really says about food, stewardship, and caring for our families. We talk about the difference between liberty, preference, and true conviction, and why your food choices might matter more than you think—not just for your health, but for your faith and your family. Whether you’re a busy mom, a dad trying to lead well, or just someone who wants to honor God with everyday decisions, you’ll find practical advice, biblical principles, and honest encouragement here. Let’s rethink what’s on our plates, one meal at a time.

The Abolition of Parental Rights and Their Restoration [God, Law, and Liberty]

Today, David explains why “parental rights” is now just a power game, and gives examples of Christian legal and policy advocates effectively conceding that the determinative power over what those rights are rests with a U.S. Supreme Court that has embraced a lawless, disintegrated cosmos. He also briefly summarizes what Christians must do to restore real and objectively determinable parental rights. It’s a must-listen episode for those with children and grandchildren.

Leftist Billionaires are Transforming America: What You Didn’t Know (ft. Scott Walter) [CrossPolitic Show]

In this episode of CrossPolitic we welcome Scott Walter, president of Capital Research Center and former special assistant to President George W. Bush. Walter discusses his explosive new book "Arabella" which exposes a massive dark money network of leftist billionaires secretly transforming America. This for-profit organization runs nonprofits that take in billions of dollars every election cycle - more than the official Democrat and Republican national machines combined - yet most Americans have never heard of it. Walter reveals how this network, funded by donors like Gates, Zuckerberg, and Soros, operates through hundreds of fake grassroots groups to influence politics while hiding the true source of their funding. This eye-opening discussion reveals the hidden machinery behind much of today's political activism and offers hope for those fighting for transparency and truth.

Christian Ethics in the Wild West of Cryptocurrency [Dead Men Walking Podcast]

Send us a text What happens when Reformed Christians enter the wild west of cryptocurrency? This episode brings together Jordan Bush, director of Thank God for Bitcoin, and Chance Summers, creator of the 1689 meme coin, for a fascinating exploration of Christian ethics in digital finance. The conversation quickly moves beyond surface-level arguments to probe deeper questions: Does Bitcoin represent a more ethical form of money than meme coins? Can Christians participate in cryptocurrency without compromising biblical principles? When does risk-taking cross the line from wise stewardship to foolish speculation? Jordan articulates concerns about meme coins, suggesting they operate as "mini Federal Reserves" that can be manipulated by creators. He questions whether Christians should participate in systems that potentially enable some to profit at others' expense. His memorable comment that "Judas would make a meme coin" encapsulates his skepticism about the ethics of creating tokens with no inherent value. Chance offers a compelling counternarrative, describing how 1689 coin evolved from a joke into a community-building project with growing utility. He argues that transparency about risks combined with community safeguards creates an ethical framework for Christian participation. His optimistic vision suggests believers should redeem financial spaces rather than abandon them to non-believers. Whether you're a cryptocurrency enthusiast, a Christian wrestling with financial ethics, or simply curious about how faith intersects with modern finance, this conversation offers valuable insights without easy answers. Listen in and join the ongoing dialogue about how believers can navigate the digital economy with wisdom and integrity. Dominion Wealth Strategists: Full Service Financial Planning!
