Frannie is a reporter at The Free Press and has recently reported on Chinese persecution of Christian pastors in her piece, China vs. God: Ezra Jin and Beijing’s War on Christianity.

In this episode I talked with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden about the Hantavirus. You may have heard of this if you’ve been reading the news lately. A group of people were on a cruise ship and began to spread the virus. For most Americans, this kind of news makes us feel uncomfortable because of what happened six years ago when COVID-19 started. In this interview we talked about what Hantavirus is, where it’s from, and if it will turn into another global pandemic. I hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Vern Poythress about his upcoming book, Making Sense of Creation and Fall. In his book, Dr. Poythress sets out to explain the dynamic and multi-faceted reality of Genesis 1-3. In our discussion we talk about how a person can properly interpret Genesis 1-3, why different words in the text are meant to illuminate distinct characteristics in God, and why Genesis 1-3 sets the tone for how we understand the entire Bible. I hope you enjoy!

He has taught many classes at Peterson Academy including ones on Logic, Postmodern Philosophy, and Modern Philosophy.

I hope you enjoy!

In this episode I talked with Dr. Scott Jensen. Dr. Jensen is running for State Auditor in Minnesota, a campaign that he announced right after dropping out of the Minnesota gubernatorial race. Jensen is a doctor, former Minnesota State Senator, and 2022 Republican Gubernatorial candidate that raised more money than any Republican in Minnesota history and received more votes than any Republican in Minnesota state history. In light of the recent uncovering of fraud in Minnesota, some estimating $9 billion, Dr. Jensen has decided to run for State Auditor and try to fix the deep rooted fraud in Minnesota. We discussed his decision to run and his views on the Republican Party and the tactics they use to win elections. I hope you enjoy!
