The second article discusses when to go hard and when NOT to go hard. How do you know? Listen to find out! Topic 3 is continued coverage of "Christian Beliefs" by Wayne Grudem. This week's discussion revolves around the doctrine of the Trinity; a topic as difficult and paradoxical as it is important.

This interview with John Correia of Active Self Protection was recorded quite some time ago, but due to current events and the political climate surrounding guns and gun violence I decided to re-release this podcast. John is a YouTube content creator who evaluates self defense encounters caught on tape which tend to be of varying degrees of violence. Sometimes he evaluates empty handed attacks, sometimes knife attacks and also violent gun attacks. His videos are very instructive, and as a baptist Pastor, John unfortunately often has to discuss spiritual fitness as well. Please share this episode on your social media platforms.
