CrossPolitic Studios

We discuss the importance of valuing your family, why successful people tend to have multiple marriages, the vicious cycle that can happen in marriage, and using your marriage as benefit to help you become more successful.

We discuss the importance of customer service, one of the best ways to create customer loyalty, a story that happened to Matt where he became illegal and how great customer service saved him, and statistics on how  good and bad customer service impact companies.

Business level discussion on economics and why it matters to successful business men. We talk about 2Q 2018 GDP results and a key economic indicator to help predict the future health of the economy. We discuss how Tariffs impact economies, why they are bad, and how President Donald Trump is using them to renegotiate deals, and why trade is a good thing.

Discussion on rethinking value and opportunity. How do you determine value? How can you use your understanding of value to generate wealth? How to think and recognize opportunities in your life.

Show Notes: We had the pleasure of interviewing David Bahnsen. David is the founder, Managing Partner, and Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group, and author of the book Crisis of Responsibility. About the book: “The key to American prosperity in this new era of populism is for moral people to make responsibility matter again by renewing personal virtue and form lasting, mediating institutions that will trump the elitist bogeymen and scapegoats for generations to come. If we fail as individual Americans to address this core crisis of responsibility, we have only ourselves to blame for what happens next.” You can stream live from our website here, or you can find our newest episode in the iTunes store and

Lastly, here is our Amazon Wishlist for those who have been asking. The Seagate hard drive is a big need right now. Thanks for your help, and for sending much-needed equipment our way. Enjoy the show! Show Notes: Pastor Greg Johnson, whose church is hosting the Revoice.us conference, joins us for a very challenging conversation. We hope this hard conversation is a blessing to the Church, and to Greg, who was willing to join us knowing the disagreements. The Revoice.us conference mission statement is “Supporting, encouraging, and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted, and other LGBT Christians so they can flourish while observing the historic, Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.” We maintain that this mission is unbiblical and represents a pastoral failure to shepherd the people of God. Revoice.xyz We created the website Revoice.xyz, and we aimed it at the leadership of the Revoice.us conference. Revoice.xyz has been shared over 250 times on Facebook alone since we released the website last week. Our goal is to demonstrate the inconsistency and pastoral failure of this thinking. We copy-pasted from their conference website, changed a couple nouns, and voila!!

Married for 36 years, Dave and Kimm have four kids and two grandkids. Revoice.xyz For those who have been paying attention to the Revoice.us conference, we have setup a parody website, Revoice.xyz (which has been shared over 160 times on Facebook alone since we released the website this past Friday). Our goal is to demonstrate the inconsistency at play and pastoral failures of this kind of thinking. We literally copied and pasted from their conference website, and changed out a couple nouns, and wooolaa! In CrossPolitic news, we discuss President Donald Trump’s recent apology to Pocahontus, and comments regarding Senator Elizabeth Warren. You can stream live from our website

Show Notes: Pastor Andy Stanley recently preached a sermon, where he stated that his congregation needed to unhitched the OT from the NT. This is Marcionism, and is more prevalent in the church than we realize. It is important to note that he dialed back his comments later–here. But this was not the worst of it. He also claimed that the apostles did not get their standard for sexual ethics from the OT. You can stream live from our website here, or you can find our newest episode in the iTunes store and

This is because education is discipleship, and we have discipled a generation that produced Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as our presidential choices in 2016. Our education system is politically, socially, and economically broken, and yet we continue to hand our children over to be educated by this system. We need to stop doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
