CTP (S4EJunSpeical3) Who Does Separation Of Church And State Protect
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspective
We sit down with filmmaker Andrew Linn to follow the story of Roger Williams from Puritan exile to Rhode Island founder and to rethink what separation of church and state was meant to do. We argue that liberty of conscience protects faith from government power and that civic ignorance turns a hard-won principle into a modern weapon.
• Andrew’s family name origin and Ellis Island simplifications
• Growing up in Maryland, studying film, settling in West Virginia
• Roger Williams’s banishment and the Massachusetts Bay theocracy
• Rhode Island’s charter and an early model of church state separation
• Freedom of religion versus freedom from religion as competing frameworks
• Taxes to established denominations and the Danbury Baptists context
• Ten Commandments debates, history in schools, and civil law limits
• Liberty of conscience as a guard against forced “conversion”
• Christian nationalism concerns and lessons from European sect conflict
• Propaganda and “strongman Christianity” narratives around Russia
• Demoralization, universities, and why civics education matters
• Collectivism, individual responsibility, and e pluribus unum as a lived ideal

CTP (S4E156) Thirty-Three Minutes On Hold For Nothing
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspective
We vent about the state of customer service in America after hitting a wall on a serious security concern and getting trapped in a support system built to stall. We also lay out a frightening product safety issue at home and why it feels like companies and lawyers only act after someone gets hurt.
• a mislabelled video exclusive and why we leave it as is
• reporting a major security hole and getting bounced between people who cannot escalate
• the 33-minute hold problem and the “call back later” non-solution
• an example of helpful retail support and why it stands out
• a gas stove safety hazard that can release gas too easily
• frustration with product liability help that shows up only after major harm
• why speaking up matters when companies ignore foreseeable risk

CTP (S4EJunSpecial2) What If The Bible Can Be Tested Like Science
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspective
We chase a bold claim: a time-based Bible prophecy can be dated with astronomy and historical records to land on specific days centuries apart. John Zachary explains how an engineering mindset, NASA eclipse data, and ancient observations shape his case for “scientific apologetics” and why he thinks repeatable patterns matter more than opinion.
• John’s background from Colorado to Israel and ministry training
• a spiritual experience that kicks off decades of research
• treating Scripture like a document with testable timelines
• dating biblical events with NASA eclipse tables and ancient astronomy
• Herod’s Temple in AD 70 and a 14,000-day control pattern claim
• free will versus divine “nudges” in major historical turning points
• intelligent design arguments and critiques of atheism and the multiverse
• Gospel details as chronological clues, including coins and Passover timing
• John’s book The Science Behind the Story of Jesus and where to find him
