In this episode, we are joined by Rita’s pastor, Ken, who gives us a “brief yet thorough” history of this region. He goes all the way back to the time of Abraham and works his way up to this present moment.
This was a tough episode to record. We talk about the Israel/Palestine war, and more specifically, the commentary that is happening surrounding it. Not an easy conversation to be had, but one that needs to be had. We will be releasing a BONUS episode regarding the history of this region and people groups this week as well, so be on the lookout for that! We anchor this episode in James 4 and focus on the need to pray fervently… for hostages, for those suffering, for Israelis and Palestinians, for...
On September 21, 2021 at 20 weeks, we delivered our sweet baby boy who was already with Jesus. It's been a long time coming, telling this story. I know with as close to 100% certainty as one can get in this situation why it happened... incarcerated uterus. His death could have likely been prevented if we had known. I want others to know. Incarcerated uterus is said to be "very rare" but with 25% of women having a retroverted uterus, the fact that another woman had been in with the same issue imm...
Just the Inserts has remained anonymous ever since she began her work. Now, her voice is being heard for the first time EVER. We are honoured that she chose our podcast to be her first interview. We discuss what made her start her work, why she only references information found in manufacturer inserts and on .gov sites, and how she is helping empower others to research, understand and read pharmaceutical labels. If you’re wanting to know more about vaccines, and pharmaceuticals in general, this ...
We’re talking with our friend and the founder of 1000 Hours Outside, Ginny Yurich. Ginny is pure sunshine and we love her mission of getting kids off screens and out doors. While the benefits of outdoor play… and being outdoors in general… are numerous, Ginny also chats with us about education (and the myths and truths that come along with it), family, purpose… and what it’s like feeling like a crappy mom. We’ve all been there, and she talks about how she found her way out of that. Download this...
Ok… what DON’T we talk about in this one? Seriously… we go from Botox and lip fillers to further discussion on some more “controversial” things in recent episodes, to gun control and constitution issues in New Mexico… and how that relates to Hunter Biden…, and then we also dig in to carbon sequestration and the joke that is the green movement. Speaking of which… do you know how much concrete goes into just ONE wind turbine? And how much actual land area will be needed to pull off the ambitious “...
Returning guest, Katy Faust, talks with Cecily and Rita about her new book Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City, that she co-wrote with Stacy Manning. Seattle is their hometown, and it is the perfect training/testing ground for ensuring the kids they raise are solid in their values. We cover a variety of things including what it means to be conservative, how to interact with the public school system as a parent with kids attending there, and importantly, how to be your child’s #1 teacher and...
This episode feels less like an interview and more like a conversation between friends... join us! Pregnancy is not a medical issue that automatically requires intervention, in fact, intervening in what is a natural process is what often puts mom and/or baby at risk. This can happen in or out of the hospital setting, but hospitals in particular are approaching birth as a condition requiring help. Regardless of where you deliver: home, hospital or birth center... YOU need to be in the drivers sea...
We’re honored to have a conversation with Sally Fallon Morell. Her work to revive principles of traditional nourishment has been a help to many. We discuss women’s health as we age, feeding children well, the obesity ‘epidemic’, vaccines & germ vs. terrain theory and ask her the questions you wanted asked! SPONSOR: kbspodcast.com
Reflecting on this conversation, I realized almost every point Andrew hit on turned the opposite direction culture and systems within it tell us to. I found myself thinking sarcastically, “well that’s a foreign concept!” Lower income inspiring creativity, sacrifice to live out your values, the benefit of a large family, ‘skipping’ high school, waiting until kids are developmentally ready instead of pushing academic milestones early, imitating the best people you can find and expressing ideas ins...
It’s been a summer of odd haze across the Midwest, attributed to Canadian wildfires which naturally leads to a conversation about climate & weather modification. In this episode we discuss possibilities surrounding the smoky haze and geo-engineering. If you didn’t already know weather modification is 100% real… the information isn’t hiding, we just have to look. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/1066/just-5-questions-hacking-the-planet/ https://www.livescience.com/geoengineering-the-weather http...
Cecily saw the movie... Rita saw the conspiracies making their rounds online. We discuss the movie, trafficking, statistics surrounding it, and the fact that, it's possible there might be a fault to be found with Tim Ballard, we don't know. But we do know that this movie is shedding light on a subject that needs to be discussed. Make sure YOU aren't becoming the "controlled opposition" by pointing out what you believe is.

Thoughts we're thinking and books we're reading. Cecily and I are summer dreaming as we get into goals and plans, talk through the importance of sabbath, our own creativity (or lack of it), obedience, and information overload. Then, as it often does, our discussion takes a weird turn, this time, because I decide to tell you about my dive into researching the Unabomber.

Culturally we've gotten away from males naturally fulfilling the role they were designed to occupy, to the point of actually needing to retrain and cultivate men. Matt Beaudreau, President of Apogee Strong joins us to discuss this… which naturally leads to the subject of education. Matt and I discuss ADHD and the sad state of medicating kids to suit the classroom, his statement: “we will cross that bridge when we get there is a tough way to parent”, and the difference between asking: “how do I t...
We’re just tossing around thoughts on this episode… thinking out loud. When we look at the unofficial monopoly on EV charging stations, mandate for all vehicle manufacturers to move largely to electric and the subsidies provided by the American taxpayer through the government… it’s interesting to pull together and analyze against what we see of Elon on his ‘free speech’ (censorship lite) Twitter platform. We discuss this along with neuralink gaining FDA approval & the US government updating ...
There’s no question of where we stand on Pride month or marketing transgenderism to children. It’s wrong & should be called out as wrong. But before going into battle we need to make clear the end goal. Are we really winning from a Christian perspective when we see corporations tuck their tails because profits drop? Is evil really being defeated or just going into hiding? We discuss our thoughts on the way pride is being handled by Christians. The climate conversation is opened again. If you...
We’re talking with Andy Steiger of Apologetics Canada all about the rights and responsibilities of conscience as it relates to MAiD (medical assistance in dying, aka euthanasia). This conversations is deep and wide as we talk about this very important topic. Doctors are on the front lines of the testing ground for morality… we see that in many instances. We discuss how the “guaranteed” rights of conscience are being neglected in pursuit of an ideology that mirrors a very dark history. Find Andy ...
Maybe you're thinking about homeschooling your kids, maybe you're just curious or maybe you think we're crazy... whatever the reason you all had A LOT of questions. Co-op, community and resources... why we homeschool, do our kids miss out on extracurriculars and sports, transitioning from public school, how do you teach math when you don't know math. We answered them all. RESOURCES: HOMESCHOOL.com/supportgroups https://www.thehomeschoolmom.com/local-support/ SPONSORS: Pretty Little Light Candle ...

Abortion.... anti-woman, fetus-phobic, comparable to slavery? Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life speaks on college campuses with the goal of stirring minds to understand the evil that is abortion. Arguments that are acceptable and even promoted in other cultural scenarios are often meant with push back and sometimes intense anger when used against abortion. We talk about her campus forums, a particularly interesting statement she made on an interview with Tucker Carlson, the abortio...
Emotions are getting in the way. We may not realize it but when you hear what our friend & apologetics teacher Shanda Fulbright has to say, it’s easy to see how both the church and culture at large use emotions and experience to gauge reality… when we should be using truth. Shanda & her family shed the comfort of the life they’d always known in California moving completely across the country to South Carolina. We start by talking about this big move then get into “emotionalism”, “meology...
Herb Geraghty is pro-life & standing up for life to the point that he's been indicted by the DOJ and faces 11 years jail time for violating the FACE Act. Herb is the executive director at Rehumanize International. We talk about how he came to be pro-life, his indictment, typical arguments for and against abortion and what it's like to be such an outsider on the issue of abortion when it comes to his general political leanings.

Human enhancement is nothing new, but a future pointing to the unfettered merging of humanity with technology is. Will we one day leave “the human condition” behind? What are the moral implications? Are there any true benefits & what are the risks? Steve Kim examines with us transhumanism, the pushing of biological boundaries and proposes the idea that limits might actually be a gift. This fascinating conversation might sound like sci-fi but it is all very real. We also discuss Steve’s upbri...
In this episode, we discuss the essay A World Split Apart, by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Usually on this podcast we cover hot topic cultural issues and news events… but episodes like this give us a foundation for doing those. Alexander Solzhenitsyn was, in our opinions, one of the greatest thinkers, and while he may no longer be living, his thoughts and convictions fit the moment we’re living in. I’m fact… if he was around to see today’s culture, all he’d have to say is… I. TOLD. YOU. SO. https://w...
The rights of children should come before adult desires but we have it backwards. Gender, marriage & biology matter. If you don’t think so, listen to the children. This episode is a hard topic to cover as it has capacity to offend but irrefutable facts tied to natural rights are all Katy uses to make her case. From adoption to surrogacy and no fault divorce to same sex marriage. Children have rights, period. SPONSORS: Pretty Little Light Candle co. offers beautiful, non-toxic candles. Use co...
Peer pressure isn’t confined to high-school hallways... it follows us into adulthood. But, we have to be aware enough to identify it. Today we're discussing how we can be aware of some of the "social conditioning" going on around us, and talking about how we can make sure social pressure doesn't cause us to compromise our values, or the way we live. We talk through a few different experiments/studies. We will send video of that out to The Boom Clap Community this week! SPONSORS: Pretty Little Li...
Jenna Riley's father needs a kidney transplant and she has selflessly offered to be a living donor for him. The good news is she is a match. The bad news is the hospital has refused to give him a transplant unless he falls in line with the Covid shot(s). It gets even harder to make sense of the hospital's demand of adherence to this extremely broad non-individualized protocol as she tells their story, gives us his background and recent other major surgeries at the same hospital. Cecily and I the...
Using her voice to speak out throughout covid led to colleges using Kristen Nagle's story to deter students from independent thinking. She’s being used as example. Students have been given assignments using her story to stoke fear. Kristen gives us the details, what actually happened January 6th and why critical thinking is something the medical industry fears. We get into the state of the medical system, it’s future and a bit of banter & opinion some “big names” like Jordan Peterson now spe...
How we feel about pediatricians and well-child visits... chem-trails, "mom-rage", favorite book of the Bible, how we met our (great) husbands & more! We had a ton of fun answering the wide variety of questions submitted and offer up a huge thank you for tuning in for TWO whole years! We got to as many questions as we could in the episode.

I'm 35 weeks and giving you the details on the things you want to know. Several of you asked if I'd be willing to share pregnancy particulars and delivery plans. So, I put it out to you and let you tell me what specifically you wanted to hear about. Today, I read your questions... from being pregnant and "older" to vaccines and birth practices then answer, on the spot Q & A style. The moment we announced we were expecting again you all came with so much love and support. Truly, we are thankf...
