The volcanic explosions and pyroclastic flow at Mount St. Helens, Washington, in 1980 are an illustration of how a catastrophic geological event can quickly lay down layers of rock similar to those found in the geologic column all over the world, according to Creation Science Teacher Ray Mondragon.  Ray tells us why this type of current event supports the Genesis 6-9 narrative of a global flood.  For more information about Creation Science, go to Creation Science Fellowship.

Across Nations Ministries, is Directed by Chuck and Cindy Harper. Their ministry reaches people living throughout the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni Nations in Arizona and New Mexico. Across Nations is preparing to build a 2,480 square foot Media Center, using three recycled shipping containers to house three radio stations.  The shipping containers will be pre-built in three separate locations by volunteer laborers.  Faith Church in Rio Rancho is one of these locations. When the sections are ready, they will be set on a permanent foundation in Tse, Bonito, New Mexico. The roof and HVAC will be added on-site to complete the construction. 

 

The new Media Center will house the radio stations, bringing Christian Native American language programming to the Nations. Chuck and Cindy tell us about the innovative project and appeal to our listeners to help with the construction.  They also need help with funding the project.

When I asked Brian Cochran about investing vs. speculation in the stock market, he said, “What we see with speculation is it becomes much less about a specific goal or a specific timeline, but it becomes more about getting rich quick. So you are taking on maybe the increased odds of either a very high gain or a potentially significant loss, which makes it start to look more like gambling on the surface.”

Brian is a family man. Part of his council, to us, is to encourage married couples. Today he suggests a “money date.” He also recommends Shaunti Feldhahn’s book, “Thriving in Love and Money.”

“I think the riots in the streets, burning down public buildings, and tearing down public statues is bringing conservative Democrats and Republicans together,” said Congressman Steve Pearce. He is the Chairman of the New Mexico Republican Party. Steve served as a U.S. Representative for New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District from 2003-2009 and from 2011 to 2019. These are just some of the topics we cover with the Congressman on today’s show:

  • National Association of Police Organizations endorses Donald Trump.
  • The New Mexico Supreme Court will hear the Republican Parties’ case against business fines imposed by the Governor on August 4, 2020 (Many Democrats are supporting this action).
  • Reaction to the Governor’s Public Health Order to close interior dining in restaurants
  • The balance between operating a business safely during COVID-19, and the possible health consequences
