Top Episodes Quotes
- βAnd there's a great american political tradition, of course, of, you know, civil war, secession, things like that. I think that men are so starved of, like, actual masculine activities that we almost have this, like, ultimate fantasy of just, like, a civil war or something popping off off. I think that's why media like, you know, the Walking Dead, this sort of, like, post apocalyptic media, is so popular. As Americans, we almost still crave the frontier. We want the wasteland. We want to conquer the unknown.β by John Doyle
- βIf you hate your brother, you have no light within you. We have to allow the scriptures to temper and to rebuke and to reform our passion. Especially in a politically angry environment like this, where we are tempted to hate Joe Biden, we're tempted to hate those who are promoting abortion rather than seeing them as our brothers and sisters within a spiritual battle who will spend all eternity in hell or heaven and for whom Christ died.β by Matt Fradd
