Can all people be treated the same in reality?

Can all people truly be treated fairly at all times and in all circumstances?

In reality, no, we cannot truly treat all people the same, and we do not treat all people at all times in all circumstances fairly.

Some people want the opportunity to work, learn, grow, and earn things, while others, sadly, act as they feel—entitled.

Listen to some brief logical reasoning from questions and comments posted on social media about why.

The freedom to cancel in order to cancel freedom?

Have we really been using racism to fight perceived racism and instilling a culture of canceling freedom and differing ideologies to find a utopia of “equity” and “freedom”?

In the name of fighting supposed white supremacy, did we really cancel the legacy of a pioneering black woman?

Decide for yourself how far we have fallen and how looney we have become as a society in this short but informative podcast episode: The Racist Cancellation to Cancel Racism

Leave my body alone; pay for my body, but leave it alone.

In this episode, we will try to discuss, as well as we can in our short time together, the importance of life, such as our (in America) right to Life.

Research has shown the number one reason for abortion is financial concerns, with the timing or partner being wrong and the woman’s quality of life (future plans) being interrupted or potentially lowered due to the child; near the bottom was health.

Can we truly, in good conscience and in the best interest of a child, terminate their life just because?

Some can, some can’t.

But what about you?

“To be a drag queen is to be reborn, over and over again, in an image of your own creation. This is empowering.” Heidi Klaassen, Salon.com

To remake yourself in your own image, to be reborn—brought back to life—and to undergo a complete spiritual change—to be your own god—this is empowering; this is self-love.

In the few minutes we have, we will look at this main question: “Ask not why the children should not see drag queens; ask why drag queens crave an audience of children?”

Why is this question so insightful when thought about outside of the current bias? What is the reasoning behind this question?

Listen to this episode as we tackle this question and other statements that have been circulating, as we attempt to follow the flickering light of truth and find the most logical path in a dark world.

As I read from the “Gays Against Groomers” Twitter page, “Our whole ‘community’ has been taken over by pedophiles and groomers.”

As a 9-year-old drag queen named Miss Mae Hem has seen but may not understand yet, when he danced in an Ohio bar for adults as they threw money at him, why crave an audience of children?

Affirm a child’s identifier immediately or else.

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” (John Adams)

There are a few things that this world demands of others, but they all revolve around the forceful affirmation of, often times, a false identity.

In this episode, we will discuss an aspect of the affirmation side when it comes to children.

What?

The world says that you must affirm their lifestyle and opinion—their worldview—or be shamed, fired, sued, canceled, etc., but don’t expect the same idea of affirmation in return; in other words, live by their definition of “new tolerance” rather than true tolerance.

“We're so preoccupied with protecting children from disappointment and discomfort that we're inadvertently excusing them from growing up.” (LZ Granderson)

Have you ever wondered why the attack on God and what God stands for has become increasingly rampant?

No God in schools; no God in public; no God in politics; no God in church buildings—remember when they tried to shut down church services?

Listen as Josh explains why both religion and politics are important and inseparable, and hear his deductive reasoning on why culture and certain political ideologies are trying so hard to cancel God and His commands from society, the next generation, and the United States of America.

Like Benjamin Franklin so wisely put it, "Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature."

If you repeat a lie long enough, people will begin to think it true; and afterward, those who speak the truth will be viewed as crazy lunatics and conspiracy nuts.

Anyway. I'm back, and I have some great episodes for you to listen to. So much great information; so much great revelation; so much great, well, stuff.

Listen to each episode to learn a new insight, find that nugget of positivity and hidden truth, and try to see from a new perspective.

The enemy is fantastic at deceiving us. The enemy can easily use subtle tactics, our ignorance of a subject or our selfish desires, to manipulate the truth and cause us to go astray.

In this episode, Josh tries to show you one of the enemy’s subtle deceptions he has been finding on social media, and he explains the Truth, thus debunking the enemy’s lie.

Do you love your neighbor? Do you love them enough to speak the Truth? Do you know the Truth behind the enemy’s art of subtle deception?

Do you support the Constitution of the United States? Do you believe in “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness? Do you support our unalienable, God-given rights?

The Supreme Court, in June of 2022, struck down Roe versus Wade.

In this episode, we will discuss the WORLDLY truth (the CONSTITUTION and the individual’s RIGHTS) of this decision: What does the Constitution say? Where does our law and founding ideals stand on this?

You will get the chance learn some hidden and oftentimes trashed or distorted American history, learn some untold truth behind the original Roe V Wade decision, and decide for yourself if you truly do support the Constitution and our Rights or not.

The lies have already spread, the deceit and hate has been planted, the division has begun for political agendas.

Understand the facts, grab hold of the truth, and choose if you will stand with our founding ideals and Constitution or side with the belief that they are outdated and our founding needs a complete overhaul.

You get to decide, but you do not get to rewrite history or deny the truth.

Do you claim to believe in the Bible, Jesus, God? Do you wear the title of Christian, Jew, or Catholic?

The Supreme Court, in June of 2022, struck down Roe versus Wade.

In this episode, we will discuss the biblical truth of this decision: What does the bible say? Where does God stand? What is our mission should we truly believe in God and the Bible?

The lies have spread, the deceit and hate has been planted, the division has begun.

In this episode, you will get the chance to check your faith, see if you truly do believe, learn more biblical truth for your life, and understand the hard reality of living in a fallen world.

Color is a big issue in some societies. Some people see only in black and white, while others see in a variety of colors, and then there are some who don’t see any color at all.

Listen as we learn to see from a different perspective and view real issues, products, teachings, and sayings that we just accept for one reason or another. But in this episode, we will ask the question Is It Acceptable if we view it from a different perspective?

We will look at the adjectives, greeting cards, and Critical Race Theory.

Throughout this five-part series, you have had the opportunity to decide for yourself if what we discuss is acceptable to your or not, and now you get to put that to the test by answering a simple “yes” or “no” after viewing the world through a different lens.

Pride.

Do you have pride? Do you know what pride is?

In this episode we will tackle that topic of pride and pride month.

Society and culture have allowed some perverse and indecent activities to parade around as pride, and we have allowed lewd and pornographic materials and images into our children through education and society.

Hear where I come from (my foundation), learn what pride is, find out what pride month showcases and its meaning, and learn a new word.

This episode is jam-packed with insightful information and perspective.

In this episode, we will discuss the topic of “segregation.”

It is alive and well in our society, but can you see it? Do you support it? Is it acceptable to you or not? In this five-part series, we will tackle some of those taboo topics, some of those politically incorrect topics, some of those topics that do matter but we often shy away from out of fear, threats, ignorance, and, sometimes, blindness.

Topics such as: Segregation, Critical Race Theory, BLM, Pride, Color Power, American, God, and others.

Abortion.

Abortion is a big topic, again, and, yet, so many people struggle with an answer on this. They struggle with picking a stance, they struggle with who and what they claim to believe in and have faith in and what they or their party desires.

Who you serve will help you find your answer.

Your god will lead you.

A God of life, or a god of death?

Remember, the next generation is in your hands.

There are many things in life that we tolerate, support, stand against, or, sometimes, are apathetic to. But have you ever stopped to truly ask yourself if something, especially something that might not personally affect you, but could very well have an effect on your children and the next generation, is acceptable to you or not?

In this four-part series, we will tackle some of those taboo topics, some of those politically incorrect topics, some of those topics that do matter but we often shy away from out of fear, threats, ignorance, and, sometimes, blindness.

Topics such as: Segregation, Critical Race Theory, BLM, Pride, Color Power, American, God, and others.

Which side do you take when someone tells you “your voice does not matter”?

Are you standing firm on your foundation, and do you understand and believe that your voice matters? It does; and you do, too.

You matter, your voice matters, and you should never let someone silence your voice…so long as you are not speaking from the gutter as well.

Be tough, but be gentle.

Can you Forgive in these instances?

Are we strong enough to stand firm and to forgive?

Poetry. Life. I believe poetry to be not just an art form, but many things in life: the speedy fluttering of the hummingbird’s wings, the nimble agility of the squirrel, the hypnotic movements of the snake, the beautiful color patterns of a sunset, the roses are red, violets are blue cliché.

We all are drawn to

Stories that reveal to us

Poetry in life

Poetry is everywhere; Poetry is Life.

Gun Control

Why is gun control so important? And how do we stop these self-determined, willfully compliant killing-machines? In this episode, Josh takes a look at some of the most common arguments he hears in support for gun control and why it is important. Do you support the Second Amendment? Do you support personal responsibility and accountability? Do you support saving a person, a child, a baby’s life? Then hear some chiseled and cozen logical reasoning, tactics, and individual “truth,” for why we must have more gun control and stop people from dying by these very living and conscious lead poisoning tools.

Faith.

Without faith, there is no confidence; without confidence, there is no trust; without trust, there is no firm foundation; without a firm foundation, there is no solid ground on which to stand; if you can’t stand firm, then there is no integrity.

Do you have the faith to accept and be accepted?

Listen and learn as Josh discusses faith and how we are all accepted by God, how all lives matter.

Are vegans weak? Are meat eaters strong? (Romans 14:2)

FEAR…dressed in the guise of safety.

From Vaccines to news, how does the world use our emotions, namely fear, to sell us a product or narrative?

In this episode, we discuss the concept of fear by using wisdom from three sources: the T.V. show Ice Pilots, and two books, World War Z and A Great Awakening Is Coming!

Listen as we dive into a must hear story speaking of a similar thing we have all been living through, known to us as the Covid-19 pandemic, but known to the survivors of WWZ as the rabies pandemic.

What wisdoms can we learn from these unlikely sources?

You’ll hear more about being equal (equality), opportunity (there is a lot of opportunity), and education (also, responsibility and accountability with such education).

In this episode, Josh talks about what happens when we choose to defy the good Fruit in our lives. He uses his book, Destiny: Life or Death, Choose Your Destiny, to help explain this. He also uses two well-known characters and their story to illustrate the importance of choosing correctly who, or what, you will trust and who, or what, you will defy.

We will always be living in defiance, just as we will always be living in Trust.

The question is: Who will you defy, and who will you Trust?

Destiny: Life or Death, Choose Your Destiny Where is your focus when the storms of life try to blow you off course and the waves of perceived iniquity smack you in the face? Do you get knocked around? Do you get knocked down? Or do you focus your eyes on the prize?

Did your foundation dye in color? Maybe it’s time we repair the lenses through which we perceive our little world.

In PART II, Josh further breaks down the divide created between fellow American citizens—a well-played and powerful division tactic to keep the enemy out of sight and in control of our lives.

Can we open our eyes and see the depth, the facts, the context, and the truth?

I believe, one day, we can all experience reality.

Is your world colored in either Red or Blue? Are we falling for another division tactic by the enemy? Listen, while Josh explains how color is often used to divide us and corrupt our perception of ourselves and our world. Hear how he incorporates a personal story of watching John Wayne with our chosen rose-colored glasses.  

The good journey is just as important as a righteous end.

Will we continue to be divided by color, or will we be united in our depth of reality, seeking a land of prosperity and freedom for our fellow citizen?

What feelings, emotions, truth, or character are we exposing to the world on Social Media? Is it one we will be proud of, that we can stand firm on? Is it helping the situation? Is it even helping us grow in a positive and understanding way?

In this episode, Josh talks about two posts he saw on Social Media during this crazy year that was 2020. He breaks them down from the negative and emotion-controlled expose that they were, and shows the human nature we all fight, and finds inspiration that everyone should be able to agree with and rally behind.

Change the negative to a positive. Find the hope in the ocean of emotion. Uncover a hidden truth.

And hear Common Sense.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

There is SO MUCH GOOD INFORMATION prepared that I just wanted to let you know some of those topics that you can hear in future episodes!

One can hardly speak of correcting oneself or the future without at least learning a little something from the past.

There will be history lessons, philosophical thoughts, stories, and information about the two most popular “isms”. Ever question how our government is supposed to work? I discuss that! Like art and entertainment? So do I. I also…well, you must listen to this teaser episode to learn more and to hear any wisdom hidden within it.

Are we truly living a life of love, of servitude, of God’s commands? Are we choosing to serve another or our own selfish desires and fears and vices; are we choosing to sacrifice for another? Our fear does not demand submission from others. Our desires do not demand sacrifice and suffering from others. Our fear, desires, and life, if lived correctly, should be sacrificed for love; not suffering on our part, but understanding of another’s liberty and free will to choose for themselves. And there is no greater love than John 3:16.

Listen to this hidden truth and find the positive that we can, and should, incorporate into our lives.

And have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Do you stand firm in the face of adversity? Is your foundation stable?

Listen to a story of a king who, through weakness, did not stand firm and knelt before wickedness, to evil, and was willing to sacrifice his soul and the lives of others, all in an attempt to appease a bully, a thug, a dictator, a wicked king.

Why? How? What happened?

It's a story of submission, repentance, redemption, victory, and death.

Yes, they said that! Learn some history about the terms this person spit out like a discarded, cancer laden, dirty loogie of dip—words such as Fascist and Racist.  And hear some uncomfortable, but true history about Nazi’s and Nazism that might just change your perception of the world around you. Answer the question of ‘who most closely resembles that which is constantly thrown around, often without historical facts or context, and what history we might be foolishly repeating?’

They said what!?! Hear a short story about an incident that we have all been involved in at some point, with one caveat. Learn the difference between a discussion and a debate. Understand better why some people hate agreement, and why some people might immediately throw derogatory, hateful, and, the word society loves now-a-days, offensive terms to label another and slander their character.
