    Feb 20 2026
    Hi my name is Dean. In this podcast I want to talk about politics in the church. I can’t remember a time, when politics has become so dominant and divisive in our culture and divisive. It is everywhere and infecting everything But before I do that, I need to provides some disclaimers. First I am a conservative. Secondly, during my career, I actually worked for a right leaning political party. While I was considering the job offer, my wife gave me some advice that ultimately proved to be true. She said, the job will require a bit of my soul, meaning you will end up defending the undependable, and I did.

    152 | Near Death Experiences: When the Totally Blind See
    Jan 9 2026
    In a recent video, former atheist and now Christian apologist Lee Strobel provided evidences for the existence of the human spirit. The Bible teaches that we are made up of a spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). At the death of our physical body, our spirit lives on. This is vividly portrayed in the Jesus’ story about the rich man and Lazarus found in Luke 16:19-31.

    151 | Atheists don’t believe in God, But They Do Believe in Little Green Men
    Jan 2 2026
    While atheists mock Christians because of our belief in God, a 2021 Pew survey found that 85% of atheists/agnostics believed in little green men and aliens. But they weren’t alone. The same survey revealed that 80% of nones, those with no religious affiliation, also believed in aliens. Though certainly not as high, overall 57% of Christians also believed in alien life. But this involved a very broad definition of Christian. More specifically only 40% of Evangelicals believed in aliens and UFOs.

    149 | Is Pergamum’s Throne of Satan still exerting an influence?

    According to Wikipedia, Caracas, Venezuela is the murder capital of the world. It has held that position since 2016, when it wrestled the crown away from then reigning champ, San Pedro, Honduras. But that brings me to an interesting article from 2013 on the British new site, The Guardian. The article discussed the murder rate in San Pedro, which at that time was running at 20 a day or over 7,000 murders a year. This works out to an annual murder rate of 173 per 100,000 residents.
