Nick Begich the Third Is In The House

August 10, 2022 19:00 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MB

Nick Begich III, or NB3 as many nowadays are referring to him, is certainly in his element when speaking individually to someone or on a bigger stage. He most definitely inherited that casual, folksy, even keeled tempo from the Begich family tree. His Uncle Mark is legendary for it. But NB3 fell far from the family tree when it comes to his political leanings. Growing up in Florida with his maternal grandparents in a Christian environment shaped Nick in a way that has propelled him to a ne...

Enemies Within The Church

August 10, 2022 19:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MB

As first century churches were established by followers of Christ, it didn’t take long for false teachings to creep in through people with persuasive personalities and ideologies. In response, Paul and others needed to constantly point out to churches those things that misrepresented God and His Word to keep professing Christians from going astray. Paul wrote, “…mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” Romans 16:17. Today,...

May 17, 2022 16:00 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MB

Chad Hufford is a guy who thinks about wealth creation and management as much from a Biblical perspective as a financial perspective. The two are actually intimately aligned.

May 11, 2022 18:00 - 43 minutes - 30 MB

When Mike Robbins was running for Mayor of Anchorage, the liberal newspaper, Anchorage Press, did a story on him calling him "Trump Lite" presumably because of Robbins involvement as State Chair of the Trump Presidential campaign and his foray into pageants and fast times in his younger days. Mike has become a good friend and brother in Christ over the years and he is as interesting as he is pro-active in taking life by the horns.

What Does It Mean To Think Biblically About Everything ?

March 11, 2022 04:00 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MB

How do we take our Biblical knowledge and convictions into every sphere of our life including our jobs and relationships and entertainment and hobbies and politics and education ?

F-22 Raptor Pilot Is Zeroed In On Target - The AK Bar Association Has Too Much Power

February 15, 2022 21:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MB

If there is one thing liberals in this state are afraid of, it's losing control of the judges and how they are selected. As has been written about countless times, see HERE, HERE and HERE for three examples, the Alaska Judicial Council and the Alaska Bar Association simply do not represent Alaska's political, social and cultural make up.   In my conversation with Alaska State Senator Mike Shower today on "I'm Glad You Said That", we'll dive into a few pieces of legislation he has introduced...
