There are only two options that you can take in this world. There is no divide or alternative option and you must choose. We hear politicians, preachers, self-help gurus, and influencers use the term “red-pill" all the time to refer to finally being awake to reality. But, perhaps we are not as awake and woke as we think we are. What if most of us are actually taking the blue pill daily? In today’s episode, John, Devin, and Sam will...

Sin is not spoken of frequently enough, glossed over, and sometimes outright ignored. We all know that the secular world champions vice and acts as if it is virtue, and while this complete reversal might not affect you totally, it likely has lessened the degree...
