There was a time, longer ago than most of us who remember it would like to admit, when most people in the country could identify the three national television news anchors. Well, except for ABC; at the time it seemed as if ABC could not identify its own anchor.
Tim and Jason talk sports and hope — but not at the same time — as they think about the WNBA, and St. Louis soccer and baseball, before turning to God’s faithfulness shown even in death.
Halloween approaches. Children who persuaded their parents to buy them costumes right when they appeared in stores have had time to outgrow them. If candy was purchased at that time it has been consumed or gone bad. Evenings are beginning to get a crispness suggesting summer might be going if it’s not quite gone.
Tim and Jason put their heads together to explore the political landscape ahead of the 2024 Election. In this episode, they discuss the overall situation in the presidential election, cable news networks and the Christian obligation to vote or not.
