1.25 – Basic Civics

September 30, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

Phil and Kevon are so sorry that they have been gone for so long. They will be back in the studio soon. Until they do, here’s some audio from a class Phil taught at his church. The class was based upon Tony Evan’s book How Should Christians Votes?, which we’ve mentioned several times before.

We hope you enjoy this “substitute” episode and will help us by spreading the word as The Ignorance of Church and State gears up for Season 2.

We’re also sorry about the audio from this episode. There was an error with the microphone. It was a user error. Phil was the user.

If you have any questions or comments, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.

1.8 Congress Shmongress

April 15, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

“What do they do on Capitol Hill?” asks Kevon, and then, Phil takes the next 25 minutes to break it all down. Will you be as speechless as Kevon when it’s all over? Hard to say, but definitely, yes.

Today, we’ll look at what Congress was designed to do, what it actually does, and some of the problems with Congress.

We’ve got a lot of resources linked for you on the episode page, in case your podcast app doesn’t include them. Also, at the bottom, we have some sweet visual examples of gerrymandering congressional districts.

If you have any questions or comments, leave them on the episode page, send us a message on Twitter, or send us an e-mail.
