The Musician and the Mouth Clown are back in the saddle, so to speak.
Meaning back behind the microphones.
This week, we speak with Jack Matirko, a member of the The Satanic Temple.
We've talked to atheists, Christians, and agnostics... it was time to give evil a little love.
(If, indeed, their version of "Satan" is evil.)
Give a listen, why don'tcha?
So... trigger warning.
This episode is compelling, enlightening, emotional, informative, empowering, frightening, graphic, and a slew of other adjectives.
When in her 20s, Sheri was snatched off the street and assaulted repeatedly. A nightmare of a scenario all women fear.
Many, many years later, as her assailant was up for parole, she discovered something astounding: forgiveness. Forgiveness for the man who had done the worst things possible to her.
How? Sheri tells us her story.

Jordan is a blue collar, salt of the earth fella living in rural Minnesota. It's conservative country, but he's not a Trumper. Jordan isn't exactly a Democrat, either, he's a thinker. Jordan posts thoughtful videos to TikTok, which is odd for that platform. He takes an issue, dissects it, and explains things in a crisp, clear manner. Well, this isn't TikTok, so we have more than 3 minutes to discuss life. Enjoy.
