The Founding Word

Since 2006, this blog has been a place for me to post everything from political and social commentary to random nothings. In time, politics became its central focus but that wasn't my intention.

Recently, I've started to take Biblical studies more seriously because it seems that this is the one area where I feel I have something to say that hasn't already been said. As much as I enjoy hosting our political show on BTR, I don't think I'm bringing anything new to the table. I'm basically preaching to the choir. There's also a lot of anger driving our broadcasts these days and I don't like where our shows are going.

I'll never stop sharing my political and social opinions here at the blog, and I'm not afraid to be passionate about them when necessary on our radio show, but I'm going to be leaning more toward a Biblical center since this seems to be an area that all of us could use more work. We're not changing anything by screaming the same things over and over again. We need divine guidance and intervention.

Loki has done such a wonderful job doing a verse by verse study of the U.S. Constitution with his radio program "Founding Truth" that I felt a similar broadcast focusing on a verse by verse study of the Bible might also be productive. I think it's time to go further than just a podcast or two. It's time to do a deep dive.

I decided to go ahead and create www.FoundingWord.com for the exclusive publication of my recorded MP3 files with verse-by-verse Bible commentary and study notes. I hope these podcasts will work together to build a no-holds-barred broadcast.

The Bible proves itself to be an authentic message from one who transcends space/time and it breaks through the fog of all that is called religion.

At times, I'll include the latest scientific discoveries and even touch upon some of the weirder and more controversial portions of Scripture that most of today's Christians avoid.

For more information about the research material and how these studies are formed, check out the "About Me & Founding Word" page I put together for the new site.

Feel free to check everything out and download all you want. For starters, I think we'll go through a synchronized study of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

This is gonna be a lot of fun.
