Episode 33 - Being Thankful
Happy Thanksgiving week! I try to make it a practice to be thankful daily but with the upcoming holiday, it's a good time to reflect. There are also things I am NOT thankful for, yet I am still thankful to live in a country free enough to complain about them. How about that Al Franken sexual...

Episode 32 - Live at AMTC Shine Conference!

Episode 31 - Happy Halloween!
My favorite time of year is here! I've missed a couple weeks but all with good reason. I returned to the studio just in time to give my explanation of how a Christian could enjoy such celebrations deemed as "pagan" and "the devil's Holiday." Originally aired on 103.7 Pawling, NY

Episode 30 - Slaying Monsters
This week, the country has been shrouded in death and it can be a bit of a downer. I prefer to put a better perspective on tragedy. Too often we live with fears of things that are either unknown or uncontrollable, and when all of these people from Las Vegas to celebrities breathed their last…

Episode 29 - Where Are We Going?!
I've been a little MIA lately, and for good reason! It's been a little tough to keep the usual schedule because I have been breaking into the entertainment world in a real way. I've been attending workshops, modeling and maybe even acting by the time you hear this! Stay tuned and enjoy the ride...

Episode 25 - Learning From Our Past (New Civil War)
The "Unite the Right" Rally in Charlottesville, VA has sparked a lot of unrest in our country. This rally was not about race (as it seems) but about preserving our nation's history. It became a battlefield from parties of the "alt-right" and Antifa (the alt-left) and has reminded me that we are…

Episode 24 - Who Am I?!
In recent weeks, I have felt buried by the world and have caught myself trying to move back to center. I think we should all take a moment to and find out who we are; what is important to you, the individual? In this episode I am touching on those taboo topics such as politics and religion, but…

#ThoughtOfTheDay - Not a Joel Osteen Fan...
Being a Christian who believes the Bible, I've always been pretty critical of television pastors like Joel Osteen, TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer, etc. But I've recently had to give it a second thought. I still have a problem with them not mentioning sin or repentance, but maybe they do serve a purpose?...

-
Episode 20 - Pride (plus Flat Earth Theory!)
I started out talking about the issue of pride this week, but a large portion of the show ended up dedicated to the Flat Earth Theory. If you haven't heard of this, there is a movement that really started gaining momentum in about 2014-2015 that proposes that NASA has been lying to us since the...

#ThoughtOfTheDay - Talking to Old People

#ThoughtOfTheDay - ADD and Other Lies

Episode 11 - Importance of Time
This week's theme of "Time" is one very near and dear to me. I have always held time to be super important in my life because every minute spent is equally important and nonrenewable. Every moment is a gift and I advise each and every listener to cherish them all. I appreciate you spending a few…
