Segment 1 - Speculations and What Ifs
Officially Welcome into Season 2 of CTP - 2nd episode in now actually, S2E54, of weekly regular drops
Yep... Ready... Here it comes... AT ANY RATE....
The Elephant in the Room.... Well, the T-Shirt I am wearing (as seen on this Shows' BTS/SP Video versions on Bitchute, Brighteon, Rumble, YouTube, @JLenardDetroit channels)
Holy Cow Creamery - https://www.facebook.com/holycowcreamerywyandotte/
No, not a Paid Ad read, I just like giving shout-outs to my Friends and their Businesses (and/or, like later this episode; others Show's whom I Respect, Admire, and am Inspired by)
Holy Cow Creamery exclusive: Root Beer Ala Mode (aka: Root Beer Float)
Welcome to the "AT ANY RATE" Show??? No, not going to rebrand even though that is a damn good name for a new Show.
Let's check the Notes - What am I really supposed to be Talking about? LOL
Free, free, set them Free - Sting tune (how it relates to this episode)
instead, need do a Parody, not "If you Love someone" as goes "set them Free" (though it is good point in song about IF RETURNS) but "If you Love someone TELL THEM THE TRUTH!"
Pastor Sean Todd - shout out, and Thank You, as we are more or less on same page in our discussions this month (his Show couple weeks ago and this Show already recorded before his Show I am referring to aired)
While I am doing shout-outs to folks that have Inspired me to create CTP - Ed Bonderenka, Thayrone X, Pastor Richard Deitering, Phil Stargell, Bruce Fleury, more - all of WAAM radio 1600AM MI)
Also, of course, the corresponding and correlating TheLibertyBeacon site and Articles that are in conjunction with this CTP weekly Show) mention/reference/shout-out (and Roger Landry, who has been on CTP as a Guest)
Father's Day (well, it was when I was recording this episode to air Sat. Jun. 29th)
So let's talk about OUR FATHER (No, not our Biological ones, our Lord and Saviour one)
Speak TRUTH (not just "TO POWER" as the saying goes, but to all)
CTP Show, not usually speculations or what ifs but THE BIBLE, the whole Bible, in full Context - The Way, The Truth, The Life/Light
#CONTEXTmatters (I often use that tag on social-media) no matter who is saying what, WHY? and what is the overall context (not how someone wishes to distort a statement)
All of Jesus, not just the Hippie Hackie-Sack version some prefer to peddle (remember: he called out Vipers, Snakes, False Prophets, etc.)
Go To Hell - No, not me telling you that, but The Bible in Context and consequences
The Jesus "Tough Love" parts some want to gloss over in some Churches just to keep fannies in the Pews and Monies into the Baskets
"The Jesus Revolution" of the 1970's
Onto item # 4 in my Notes (yes, kinda like a Family Feud SURVEY SAYS numbers on the Board episode LOL)
# 5 - and indeed a Steve Harvey Family Feud reference shout-out Joke to start item 5
I actually got sufficient Sleep the night before Recording this episode, so indeed some "slap-happy" silliness/giddiness LOL
OK, 15 minutes in, FINALLY, starting some "Speculations and What Ifs" after all that prior setup
The Fortress America days are long past - the Oceans provide no comfort or protection against Nuclear Subs, ICBMs, Long-Range-Bombers, etc.
Remember WWII, Balloon-Bombs?? NoKo does not need ICBMs they can attach crude-Nuke to Balloon-Bomb and send it over (like China did the Spy-Balloons)
This Show is really about "WHAT IFS" Anxieties - do not let them bog us down to point of destroying our Joy and our Health (Stress, Depression, Immune problems like I have, etc.)
What If the World were Flat? Cat's would have pushed everything over the edge by now (no, not in show, just a Chapters Markers Joke LOL)

#BidenCrimeFamily, #MittRINOmney, et al, corruption and money laundering
# 7 - Survey Says: Caitlin Clark (WNBA, will it Live or DIE due to DEI Hate?)
https://beforeitsnews.com/sports/2024/06/will-wnba-actually-put-female-pro-sports-really-on-the-map-or-die-to-dei-correctness-hate-2785791.html
Serena Williams weighed in on the Clark harassment
Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, other that lifted their respective Sports to new heights/levels (will Caitlin be among them?)
The sad DEI / #IdentityPolitics angle
United States Olympic Teams/Squad (esp. Female BBall now with Clark left off) controversy (again, WHAT IF, we apply DEI?)
The RACIST, Woke, DEI, crowds will never, ever, SET US FREE (yes, Sting call back) by discussing things Honestly/Truthfully
Shout-out to Richard Dawson (as I finally recall the name of the FAMILY FEUD Show tried reference earlier (FF as spin-off of Match Game GameShow series))
# 8 - Where the Bible is Silent!!! Yes, rather NO, GOD did not, does not, owe us ALL ANSWERS to all our Questions.
https://beforeitsnews.com/religion/2024/06/christianity-the-bible-what-it-says-what-it-is-silent-on-realm-of-god-does-not-mean-preclusion-just-not-yet-revealed-2574087.html
Exclusion does not equate to Preclusion (just not yet fully revealed)

Old Testament relevance: (BTS/SP exclusive): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nGCL_Ysduo
https://beforeitsnews.com/christian-news/2024/06/did-jesus-ever-contradict-himself-of-course-not-humankind-in-frailty-can-and-sometimes-and-does-get-things-wrong-2622143.html
It is Human frailty that gets things wrong at times, NOT the Holy Trinity (Man messes with things, like texts, oral traditions, etc.)
Coming together in Christ (things that which all our Biblical sects/versions/denominations/flavors CAN/DO AGREE upon)
Aramaic, Hebrew, Latin, Greek
HUBRIS, Pride before the Fall (we should all be PROUD of some things, but that is different than letting us be FULL OF OURSELVES (full Hubris) all of the time SIN)
Old/New, yes some "updates" like Jesus as Final Blood Sacrafice, but let us have HONEST/TRUTHFUL discussions on that which we should all agree
"Love" and "Turn The Other Cheek" vs Old Testament "Eye For An Eye" (did not get erased, but given new prioritization and CONTEXT by New Testament)
Second Chances - for those Worthy and Redeemable ---- not for those show are PURE EVIL all the time (over and over, Death Penalty applies (Genesis, Leviticus, Numbers))
Thou Shalt Not Murder [Innocents]... then "He Who Sheddeth Mans Blood Shall Have His Blood Sheddeth" applies

Back to Pastor Sean Todd (Intersection WAAM Show) that TOUGH LOVE and CONSEQUENCES side of Jesus
# 9 - The Rapture (caught up) --- seems this is an item Satan seems to be able to Sow Seeds of Division among us Christ followers (how about we worry about HERE/NOW and Bible applications of/to such?!?!)
CTP S1E27 - Pastor Jeff Jones joined for: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/14196161-christitutionalist-politics-ctp-s1e27-a-very-different-kind-of-christmas-show
They say sometimes you have to repeat something at least 3-5 times to get something to stick, so, again, THE POINT OF THIS SHOW - focusing on things we agree under Christ (do not let Satan enter division among us)
The Rapture (again, something we cannot control, not something to be arguing and/or obsessing over now)
The Rapture (if/when) will be on God's Time, not ours - will be on God's Terms, not ours - I worry about some (that HUBRIS again) insisting on dwelling as THEY WILL BE RAPTURED (did God tell you directly such? Again, God's Terms, NOT YOURS)
Let me put it in terms of "ME" (Joseph M Lenard) Does God/Jesus have a point/purpose to Rapture ME? I do not know, GODS TIME/TERMS, NOT MINE - therefore I hope so, but not gonna DWELL ON IT (other things to worry about in HERE/NOW)
Let's not get 'caught up' on that - yep, accidental pun reference
God Wins in the end, but in the meantime let us NOT let Satan Win here on Earth (divide us all, at least not in OUR TIME, and yes we'll talk Revelation at some point tomorrow, next week/month, next Century, WE WILL NOT KNOW (Gods Time, not ours)))
I mean REALLY? Is that what you want to be 'hung up' on in Judging others (missing the whole rest of what Bible DOES say to Judge on/about)?!?!?!
Matthew 7 as one of the most quoted out-of-context Scriptures (far more to it than JUST the 1st 7 words people use to create a distortion narrative)
# 10 - Anxiety; Speculations and What Ifs scenario considering important in some cases to prepare ourselves but dwelling endlessly just harms ourselves/Health and potentially our Relationships
Letting Life get "too much of us"
Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda, to point of INSANITY (do not do that to yourself)
Every day concern "Speculations and What Ifs"
Wrapping (not Rapping, cuz I did already Sing twice or more this episode) things up! :) LOL
The "At Any Rate" Count/ticker.... Need "The Count" from Sesame Street to keep a running tabulation.... LOL
Nothing exists in a Vacuum, all issues sub-relate in some way
Nothing new under the Sun (do you know that phrase? important concept. History may not repeat but it sure rhymes a lot)
Joe's mental block on-air yet again... Not "pessimism" groping for the right word here...
Ah yes - Procrastination (never dealing in needed, at times, Speculations and What Ifs and more-so ACTING upon needed course corrections)
Oh Oh, why now a Kardashian shout-out? (as well as I do actually mention Thayrone-X here, mentioned him in Chapter Notes section earlier as part of WAAM crews)
