CLASS #533: Finding Hope While Guarding Against Normalcy Bias and Wishful Thinking

Today, we will discuss Trump, Epstein, Russiagate, Obama, Hillary and ILLEGAL ALIENS -- just not in the way so many of the 'talking heads' out there are discussing them. I got burned by QAnnon in the 2020 election, now I am doubly skeptical. So, I want to talk about how to find hope while guarding against normalcy bias and wishful thinking. I hope you'll join us for what should prove to be a different sort of discussion about these matters.

7.24.2025 Women, Spiritual Warfare and Discipline within the Body

Charlie is teaching on the role of women in the Body, with a special focus on spiritual warfare and discipline within the ekklesia (Body). This is a difficult but important subject, and we strongly urge all believers to hear us out and consider your response for yourself. All we ask is that you do not focus on specifics, but rather, on the bigger picture. In other words, don't miss the forest for the trees. Hope to see you in class.

7.23.2025 The Book of Hebrews, Through a 'Hebrew' Lens (Part III)

I have been trying to understand how the 'New Covenant' is supposed to look and function in regards to the 'Old Covenant' for quite some time now. However, it was not until I returned to the Book of Hebrews that I realized many of my answers were all there, in one place. The only problem is, you have to read "Hebrews" with a 'Hebrew' eye to see it. Today's show will cover Heb 8:14 -- 13:25. I hope you'll join us as I share my thoughts and discoveries on this and several related issues.

CLASS #532: Once the Social Contract Has Been Broken, Then What?

I am aware that there are those who believe there is no such thing as 'The Social Contract;' that it is a fiction manufactured by the Founders to sell their ideas of 'Colonialism' to the Colonies (or some other such nonsense as this). However, among free Men, the Social Contract is very real -- and ours has clearly been broken. So, for me, the question is: "What Now?" Join us as we discuss this and other related topics.

7.18.2025 The Book of Hebrews, Through a 'Hebrew' Lens (Part II)

I have been trying to understand how the 'New Covenant' is supposed to look and function in regards to the 'Old Covenant' for quite some time now. However, it was not until I returned to the Book of Hebrews that I realized many of my answers were all there, in one place. The only problem is, you have to read "Hebrews" with a 'Hebrew' eye to see it. Today's show will cover Heb 4:14--8:13. I hope you'll join us as I share my thoughts and discoveries on this and several related issues.

CLASS #531: Trump: We Hate to Say, "We Told You So," But...

We know this is NOT going to make us popular with the MAGA crowd, but we feel it needs to be said: "We told you so!" Trump is now showing his true colors, and, in the process, he is affirming some of the Left's most serious accusations. We'll cover this, but the main point of this show is what YOUR reaction to these events says about YOU! Are you as "principled" as you believe? Join us and find out.

7.11.2025 Living Out the Ideals of Our Faith

What are the 'ideals' of our faith? And how do we benefit from striving to live them out more closely to the way Messiah lived them? I thought we might take time out today to discuss these and other related topics, and to generally lift each other up. I hope you'll join us as I do my best 'Charlie' impersonation (he's the 'touchy-feely' one, not me -- I'm broken).

7.9.2025 Hell: Eternal Torment or Annihilation? (Scripture & Logic)

We return to the subject of hell. Is it eternal torment or annihilation? What do the Scriptures actually teach about this subject, and how can logic help us feel confident about drawing a reasonable conclusion? We will address this and more on today's show. We hope you will join us.

CLASS #530: Elon, DOGE, the BBB, 3rd Parties and Trump

I'm in the mood for a free-for-all, so let's do what I do best: grab a 3rd rail and anger the better part of my audience in the process. If nothing else, it should be entertaining to watch me dance while I'm ending my web-cast career. Won't you join us to see how it turns out?
