It All Ties Together
Formerly a podcast devoted to helping good men and fathers have a voice in our culture, but re-branded in early 2024 to enter a wide-open field of other topics that I believe affect our severely fractured culture. Topics that may appear to be random and unrelated to many people, but not to me. I believe that a whole lot of random isn’t random and, somehow, It All Ties Together.
Topics will vary, but are likely to include:
· encounters with the unusual from the heavenly and underworld realms
· culture and community
· questions about the historical and current narratives in which we live and move
· building stronger relationships between the men, women, and children of our nation
· the Bible, especially the parts that too many churches avoid
· the “Mudflood,” "Chemtrails," Missing 411, and similar subjects that are not mainstream
My hope, since I launched this no-budget podcast in 2021, is to play at least a small part in helping our culture heal, despite my limited abilities. Because I believe that…
A united people who stubbornly view and treat each other as fellow countrymen, as neighbors, deprives tyrants what they need most to rule over us.

Episode 151: Andy, a Pastor in Ministry for 28 Years Who Formerly Went by the Name "Anonymous" On This Podcast, Sets Aside Some Time to Discuss Jesus and The Bible in Our Modern Culture.
Andy, who formerly went by the alias "Anonymous" on this podcast, comes back to discuss with me the cultural relevance of Jesus and the Bible in our modern world. I have talked with a lot of people about two of my greatest passions in life - Jesus and the Bible - over the decades, but in the past month an unusually significant number of people have approached me with a lot of serious life questions about both, seemingly out of the blue. And since I can't ignore patterns or breaks in typical patterns, which I have shared in many episodes of this podcast, I went to a trusted friend who leads a large Christian congregation, a man whom I have grown to deeply trust over the years, to have a discussion about this very matter to see if perhaps this anomaly is isolated with me or if I am witnessing a cultural shift.
Andy is an interesting pastor, namely in the fact that he doesn't pass judgment upon those whom he meets, he rarely meets a stranger, loves the Bible, loves people, and has had the patience to not only believe in me when seemingly almost no one else did and when I was near the end of myself, but to have my back and remain my friend for 11 years now, which is no small feat unto itself because I can be a major unintentional PITA because of the jagged edge that life has carved into me through an exceedingly painful road I would never have chosen for myself to travel, but would travel again in a heartbeat. He is a man who has earned my sincere respect and there are not a lot of men about whom I can state that.
I did a timelapse with Andy in episodes 122 and 123 that, while only two episodes in length, spanned almost a year of his life through an exceedingly difficult period of his life and leadership of a rapidly growing church. I strongly recommend you jump back and listen to a Christian leader handling hardship in an entirely vulnerable and admirable manner in these two episodes.
