1.21 – HOW Should Christians Vote?

August 6, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

We’ve had the two conventions. We have the two candidates. Everyone seems to have answer “Who should I vote for?” but how many have asked “How should Christians vote?”

That’s exactly what we’re going to get today.

Put on your flowing black robes and your replica Justice Ginsberg neckwear because we’re going to court!

1.12 Hillary Clinton…Who is she again?

May 29, 2016 by Phil Leave a Comment

Hillary Clinton is a known–and oftentimes, hated–quantity in politics. What else can we say about her that hasn’t already said, except, perhaps, that a vote for a third-party candidate isn’t necessarily a vote for her.

No, wait, someone already said that, too.

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.

Mentioned in the Episode
Hillary Clinton’s Official Site – Issues
Hillary Clinton At Church (3-6-16)
No, a Vote for a Third Party (or Abstaining from Voting) Is not the Same as a Vote for Hillary
