God, Government, and Order.

In this episode, we dive into what it means to live with a Kingdom-centered worldview as Christians in a culture drifting further from God. We discuss why believers are called not to retreat from society, but to bring the light of Christ into every sphere of life — family, government, culture, and community. What does it look like to seek the Kingdom of God here and now while remaining faithful to Heaven above? Join us as we explore biblical principles for Christian responsibility, leadership, discipleship, and building strong families rooted in Christ in the middle of a broken world. #genz #conservative #genzpolitics  “Politics is almost as exciting as war, and quite as dangerous.  In war, you can only get killed once, but in politics many times.” -Winston Churchill   “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

You can’t rely on your own strength…

What does it really mean to be strong in the Lord? In this episode, we explore the deeper meaning behind the Hebrew word “geber”—a man marked by strength, courage, and dependence on God. Looking at powerful Old Testament examples, we uncover what true, God-centered strength looks like in action and how it applies to your life today. This isn’t about self-reliance—it’s about becoming strong through faith, obedience, and trust in the Lord. #BeStrongInTheLord #BiblicalManhood #FaithAndStrength #ChristianPodcast #christian  Barry has shared over three decades with his loving wife, Robin.
