A place for balanced takes on politics and world news — without the anger or hype. I believe we can stay informed and stay hopeful. Plus, a few mins of Biblical encouragement to remind us that faith, peace, and perspective still matter.

    📌 The Intel Packet (Worth Seeing)

    The U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet has been pummeled by Iran. See images below.

    Check out this advance by Ukraine the past month. More than 20 km, and drones (plus air power) are increasingly playing a role.

    Finally, check out this map of the drone kill zone that Ukraine is expanding.

    If this episode was helpful, please share it with someone who would benefit — and consider leaving a rating on Apple or Spotify. That small action helps the show reach more thoughtful listeners.

    If you’d like to support the mission, you can subscribe on Substack (or Patreon). Your support keeps the show independent — free from corporate influence.

    You can also send a one-time gift via Venmo or PayPal.

    I work a full-time job, and this show is built in the margins — but the goal is simple: more unity, more clarity, and a steady reminder of God’s truth in a noisy world.

    If support grows, the mission expands.

    Books: I write compelling stories that matter — about courage, faith, and the fight for what’s right. I’ve written twelve fast-paced thrillers, with more than 70,000 copies sold. They’re available on Amazon.

    Faith reminder

    Real peace isn’t found in a country, a party, or an earthly leader. It’s found in God.
