Greetings friends,
Some good buds and I are unleashing a podcast into the multiverse. It’s called Stink Tank. Our first episode just dropped and contains a mix of music, conversations about navigating our troubled times with grace and hope, surprising messages from Orange Man, and a tale of a pack of raccoons that saves the multiverse from chili gone bad. If that particular mix of weird sounds appealing to you, I invite you to join us on what could be a very strange and delightful journey.
I appreciate your unpopular takes.
What comes to mind for me right now is a general roadmap for k-12. My kids are young, and it would be most helpful to have guidance on where I start now so that by the time they reach high school we’ve laid a groundwork for the more advanced stuff. I’m not afraid of the math, but it won’t be too long before I’m learning alongside my kids and a trusted guide for the concepts I should be focusing on would be worth a great deal to me. Bonus points for tying the learning into age appropriate applications and exercises that are demonstrating and/or solving real world problems.
Love this line of thinking. The old things become new.
I find it uncomfortable to be pro-State at all. Pro-human, however, feels about right.
Well said. I grew up amongst those communities. I agree that they have much to teach us. It strikes me as ironic that in many ways their approach to community, self sufficiency, and resilience now seems progressive.
NGMI as long as we confuse the symptoms with the disease.
Sadly, all too true...😢
The lust for power is overwhelming in far too many otherwise apparently intelligent and rational people...
I continually struggle, attempting to refine my ability to communicate these truths, even to well meaning fellow Christians; folks who, like everyone, all our lives have been immersed in statist propaganda...

I appreciate your attempts. I’ve mostly been contemplating in silence because I rarely meet folks who are willing or able to engage in productive conversation. Or perhaps I’m still too unskilled to communicate effectively. I look forward to taking a closer look at your work.
Brother, that's an easy one...😃 Hang with me through some step by step logic so you'll understand my considered opinion:
"Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared. From this we know that it is the last hour."
- 1 John 2:1:8
On this, and many other topics, most Christians have been confused by bad English translations of the Bible. In fact, many Bible words are not even *translated*; they are Greek words with English spellings.
"Christ" is a Greek word that means "Annointed One." In Scripture, the annointed were Prophets, Priests, and Kings, and Jesus is all three.
In English, the prefix "anti" primarily means "against," but not so in Greek. "Anti" in Greek means "in place of" or "substitute."
In the beginning (Genesis 1) God gave man dominion over all the creatures, NOT over his fellow man. When the elders demanded of Samuel (1 Samuel 8) “Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations,” God told Samuel "They have rejected Me from being king over them."
There is ONE and ONLY ONE human with an inherent right to rule other humans, and his name is Jesus. He has that right because he CREATED us. Paul says Jesus is "the blessed and ONLY Sovereign" (1 Timothy 1:15).
Put it all together, and the conclusion I come to is that ANYONE but Jesus who claims a right to rule me is quite literally "anti-christ," or a "substitute king." Thus, Donald Trump clearly qualifies as one of the many antichrists John spoke of, along with every other self-styled ruler.
When the first Christians proclaimed "Jesus is Lord," they were making the very political statement that "Caesar is NOT." Christians today need yo return to the same strongly held conviction.
What do you think?🤔🧐😁❔
I've written extensively on these and related topics here:

In this last election cycle, I often found myself recalling that passage from 1 Samuel as I watched folks who otherwise claimed a disdain for government expressing support for Trump. The allure of empire is just as strong now as it was then.
lol, sounds like you have your mind made up. Be well, friend.
Tell me more. Seems people fall into two camps.
lol, both? I’ve had family members who say it helps. I just started making it, so I guess I’ll find out.
It’s a good one.

Thanks for this. Was just thinking earlier this morning about a website.
