A Biblical – and Practical View of Trust in Relationships
1w ago00:29:57Tap to summarizeJoin Bud (with Kevin on vacation) as he dives into the reality that ‘…Life is all about relationships and the decisions we make about those relationships…’ . In this podcast, Bud notes how our society has diluted the meaning of the word TRUST, and how that dilution has led to widespread inauthenticity in relationships across all areas of life – marriage, parenting, workplace, church, recreation, etc. He brings it all back to a critical passage in Paul’s letter to the church at Ephesus.
Transcribe →Free Will or Election? The Cases for Both
3w ago00:30:15Tap to summarizeJoin Kevin and Bud as they debate - well, sort of – one of the great theological questions: Do we receive salvation as a result of our free will choice? Or are some chosen by God to receive salvation, while others aren’t? This entertaining dialogue between the guys may surprise you!
Transcribe →The Gnostic Gospels and the Canon of Scripture

Transcribe →Is Easter a Pagan Holiday?
Mar 2600:30:11Tap to summarizeJoin Kevin and Bud on the latest edition of the 12:2 Podcast. They spend the first half this week discussing the potential connection between ‘Easter’ and ancient pagan Mesopotamian / Babylonian celebrations. The conclusions may surprise you! Then the guys pivot to professing Christian ‘nice guy’ and seminary student James Talarico of Texas. Talarico is a Democrat U.S. Senatorial candidate who stretches verbiage in the second century Gnostic gospel of Thomas to validate and promote current day LGBTQ and transgenderism issues.
Transcribe →A Special Version of the 12:2 Podcast!
Mar 1900:30:14Tap to summarizeJoin Bud for a special edition of 12:2 as he sits down with our good friend Cliff Sutton, Lead Elder of Jesus Like Jesus Ministries. Cliff and Bud discuss the ramifications of the question ‘Why would a good God allow tough times and tough things to happen to good folks?’ Cliff gives us a really neat perspective on the answer to that question, as well as a good way to adjust the way we look at this matter, and others like it.
Transcribe →Epic Fury - The Iranian Initiative
Mar 1200:29:58Tap to summarizeHere’s the latest release of the 12:2 Podcast. Kevin and Bud talk about a number of things surrounding ‘Epic Fury’, the current United States and Israeli initiative against Iran. What is the history here? What are the reasons for the initiative? Why do we not hear anymore about the 30,000 plus protestors murdered by the Iranian regime?
Transcribe →A Line of Demarcation: The State of the Union Address
Mar 200:28:44Tap to summarizeKevin and Bud discuss Tuesday’s Presidential State of the Union address – at least for a few minutes, leading into a conversation about the definition, history and beauty of the American ‘Experiment’. The guys talked about the ‘new’ line of demarcation between congressional members who seem to truly love America, and those who apparently don’t. Unfortunately this line of demarcation seemed pretty obvious on Tuesday night. Watch or listen and learn more about the origin of this dilemma, and why the Democrat Party seems to be on the wrong side of the line.
Transcribe →When ‘Churches’ and ‘Church Leaders’ go
Feb 1600:29:43Tap to summarizeIn this week’s podcast, Kevin and Bud discuss the latest controversy surrounding Bethel Church (Redding CA) and pastor Bill Johnson. Using the label of ‘prophecy’, what happens when church ‘leaders’ decide to twist others into doing something that satisfies their own salacious motives? How do people discern and resist? The guys also speak a bit to other similar – but perhaps lower profile - situations that they have seen in the church.
Transcribe →Some Thoughts on Minneapolis
Feb 500:28:57Tap to summarizeSo much of what we see as 'peaceful protests' in our nation can be tracedback to a few well-funded sources that want to deconstruct the existingcapitalist / federalist systems in order to erect structures that are grounded in Marxism / Socialism. Join Kevin and Bud as they share some insights on what may be driving some of the chaos in Minneapolis with the opposition to the arrest and deportation of criminal illegal immigrants.
Transcribe →Venezuela: A Historical Context Pt 2
Jan 2000:31:30Tap to summarizeThe nation of Venezuela is a pretty hot topic these days – and rightfully so. The recent history of deadly drug trafficking into the US, the theft through nationalization of almost an entire oil industry and other factors have led to the arrest of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro. Join Bud and his guest co-host Venezuelan native and Integrity member Omar Lugo, for part 2 of their discussion on the Venezuelan period of the 1990s and the early 2000s. Omar takes us into an in-depth look at how Hugo Chavez, a smooth-talking and seditious leader imprisoned for leading a revolt against the Venezuelan government, was able to charm a country into giving him their votes. From this newly acquired seat of power, he was able to complete the theft of the U.S. investment in the oil fields of this beautiful country - an investment that had made Venezuela one of the richest countries in the world.
