074 - A Christian Response to Yet Another Trump Assassination Attempt

079 - Congressional Candidate Lorenzo Santos

As the battle over control of the House of Representatives looms over the election in November, one seat Democrats are focusing on flipping is right here in the Wisconsin first congressional district.  I am a big supporter of Bryan Steil who currently holds this seat, but on the program this week is one of his challengers, Democrat Lorenzo Santos.  So, listen in as we chat about the war in Iran, healthcare, data centers and abortion.   Recommended Resource: Lorenzo for Congress [https://www.lorenzoforcongress.com/]

Bonus Episode - A Father's Day Mountain Dew Review

On this bonus edition I sit down with two of my youngest boys and review a new product available a Kwik Trip gas stations - Mountain Dew Dunkers.  Imagine Mountain Dew, but in a donut.  As a diabetic, I'm not willing to do that to myself, but I was curious enough to see if my kids who love drinking Mountain Dew enjoy eating Mountain Dew.

078 - AMA: Reining in Ray

In this episode Pastor Ray Jewell and I tackle your questions.  Here are a few things you asked us about: * Is doubt required for faith to be possible? * How do you define strength in a Christlike way?  * Why aren't Evangelicals & Fundamentalists objecting to the inhumane treatment of immigrants? Help me understand this. * Why do evangelical & fundamentalist people feel persecuted?

077 - People Over Party

One thing is clear, come next year, the state of Wisconsin will have a new governor.  We have had the leading Democratic contender on the podcast.  The Republicans have already endorsed Congressman Tom Tiffany.  But, if you are looking beyond the two party system, let me introduce you to Dr. David King, an independent candidate for governor.  Dr. King and I had a great conversation here about faith, politics and dangers of the two party system.  Recommended Resources: King for Governor [https://www.kingforgovernor.com/]

076 - Unity in Weakness in the Body of Christ, Part 2

Another fun podcast for you.  Ray Jewell and I are off on yet another road trip and this time we are chatting about his newest book - Unity in Weakness in the Body of Christ part 2.  It's a great devotional commentary on II Corinthians written from a pastor's heart.  Its encouraging and easy to read.  So listen in as two good friends banter about the Bible while trying to stay on the road...
