***Warning: This episode talks about sensitive topics*** November 5, 2024 is a crucial election in the United States for many reasons. The country is polarized. Even many states are polarized. Colorado’s Amendment 79 would enshrine abortion as a fundamental right into the state constitution. It would even allow the legislature to pass laws that pay for it on demand with taxes. Colorado is the premier destination for abortion in the country. The state has no restrictions on abortion. Could Amendment 79 and future laws based on it encourage people from outside the state to flock in and make residents pay to end the life of their unborn children. Could the language of the amendment set up barriers to stopping human

In this episode of Truthspresso I chat about Jesus and socialism. A coworker a while ago made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 11 we look at three parables to see if they lean more socialist or free market capitalist: The hidden treasure in the field The pearl of great price The vineyard tenants Because the parable of the vineyard tenants is Jesus’ ultimate parable about the history of Israel, one would think the illustration would be important.

In this episode of Truthspresso I chat about Jesus and socialism. A coworker a while ago made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 10 we look at the parable of the unjust steward.
