Still Cleaning Up the Mess…
Looking back over the past 25 years, what did America’s War on Terror actually give us? More peace and stability on the earth? Not hardly. The wars in Iraq from 2002 until 2021 cost the lives of nearly 6000 Americans, and for what? What did the Western World gain from the billions, if not trillions, of dollars spent? Not much of anything but more unrest for decades and profits for the “Military Industrial Complex.” While true Islam is a real threat, and has been for 1400+ years, our politically motivated actions these past decades have not changed anything. Today, Bob continues a train of thought about what these past 25 years have given us and challenges some of the conventional wisdom and established narratives. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

What a mixed bag he left behind…
George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States from January 2001 until January 2009 (the beginning of the Obama years), was honestly a mixed bag for the United States. Under the banner of “Compassionate Conservative,” the United States embarked on a journey of expensive nation (re)building, but at what cost? Did we understand what we were truly facing then? Do we really understand the world we are facing now? Bob looks back and then starts a journey to look ahead. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

A very “touchy” subject
In recent years, there has been a change in the mindset of many people on a few important topics. The purpose of this radio program and podcast is NOT to amplify the noise of conspiracy theories that cannot be proven or to share unfounded opinions with no merit. While some things may prove to be true in time, many others prove to be false. It is better to hold fast to what is true than what may be nothing but speculation. One of the “touchiest” topics today involves the Middle East. Much of what is out there in regard to Israel, Palestine, and the Middle East has little to no basis in history or the Bible. There are extreme positions on both sides of this issue, which are both equally incorrect. So what is true? What is trustworthy? The answer to that question can be found conclusively in the Bible. Our opinions do NOT matter, only what God’s Word has to say. Today, Bob shares an outstanding message from the Reverend Brett Murphy, the pastor of a very biblically sound Anglican Church which is NOT a part of the church of England or any other Apostate denomination. His church is the Emmanuel Free Church of England in Morecambe, UK. Under Pastor Murphy’s leadership, this congregation has grown, including young families. He is also outspoken on the “de-Christianization” of the United Kingdom. Rev. Murphy is a powerful, spirit-filled preacher and worth your time. Listen, learn, and respond.

Patterns of Persecution
As Bob continues his convalescence after surgery, we share a special edition of Truth to Ponder. In the weeks prior to surgery, Bob worked to have a sufficient number of radio programs recorded to allow for full healing. Some of these programs feature a guest host or speaker, as does today’s. On this edition, Bob welcomes Dan Vierno to the “Truth to Ponder” audience as he reminds us that persecution is now coming sooner rather than later. Be ready. Be vigilant. Be prepared.

Planning for a Communications Blackout
If the lights went out, your phone had no service, and the Internet was down, how would you communicate? How would you get news and information? In a major disaster of political disruption, all normal communications could be censored, limited, or gone. Even radio stations, including shortwave stations, could very likely be off the air. Today, Bob welcomes a special guest who heads up an incredible organization called AmRRON. Founded in 2011, the American Redoubt Radio Operators Network (AmRRON) began as a radio communications network to share information and coordinate in response to disasters in the Pacific Northwest. By 2013, members joined from over half of the other states in the US. The American Preparedness Radio Network (TAPRN) on the East Coast merged with AmRRON in 2013. By 2014, AmRRON/TAPRN consisted of members from every state, and now consists of members in Canada, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Japan, and elsewhere. Over the past decade, AmRRON has responded to numerous real-world disasters, including hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and other incidents, providing communications support to those in the affected areas.

It’s really in God’s Unchanging Hands
Depending on when you hear this podcast, Bob will have already undergone a very intense and lengthy surgery, or maybe be in the recovery room, ICU, or his hospital room. The surgery was scheduled for early Friday morning, the 18th of September, then afterwards a substantial period of recovery. For many, surgery brings fear, just like the pandemic did over 6 years ago. However, for those of us of faith, this should just be another day of trust. Bob explains and brings back a memory from over 6 years ago. This may just be the program you, or someone you know and love, need to hear. Share with others and pray for Bob’s speedy return to the microphone. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

The subtle Jihad is here
While violent Jihad (Holy War) has been exalted in the Quran, there is a new type of Jihad taking place in the Western World. Rather than just attacking armies or committing acts of terror, the new Jihad uses open borders and gradually takes over communities and towns in their “host” countries. These new types of “invaders” never attempt to assimilate and stay separate. They get into politics and eventually control the ballot box in those regions. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

Surveillance, Islam, and Other Threats
On the one hand, our leader’s clamor for more ways to surveil us, control us, and even weaken us but they fail to protect us. The greatest threats are ignored, minimized, or excuses are given. Surveillance can show us a video of a killer with a mile-long arrest sheet, released multiple times by as judge, kill someone on a commuter train, but the camera of all the prior arrests did not stop the crime. Islam has attempted to conquer and enslave the world, but our leaders are deaf to the threat and call us Islamophobic. A phobia implies having a false fear. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

So, where were you 25 years ago?
For many, the events of September 11, 2001, have become a distant memory. Young people are no longer taught about or care about that part of history. For some of us, we can remember what we thought and experienced that day. Today, we remember our collective concerns about what this meant and what it might bring in the future. .

Where were you 50 years ago?
Many of us are old enough to remember what life was like just 50 years ago. A peanut farmer from Georgia was running for president, disco music was making its way to the radio, and America was looking for more opportunity and less politics. How did it work out?

Tabloids are NOT for truth seekers
For decades, crazy tabloids dominated the checkout lines of many grocery stores with bizarre headlines, grainy pictures of the unbelievable, and fake stories for the weak-minded. While many of those publications are gone, the addiction for the news nobody else has now lives on in the podcast, online video, social media, and even shortwave radio world. Bob sorts it out.

Your Bible or your politics. Where lies your hope?
Where is your hope? In a politician, a leader, or is it in something far greater and eternal? Over the past generation, we have seen politics increasingly influence what should be matters of faith. It happened to both the left and the right. The left has embraced things that are forbidden in scripture and has taken down entire church bodies. The right often believes their politics is ordained by God, and they are blinded when their conservative news sources and politicians fail to measure up. Bob shares some sobering thoughts.

The Weeks Ahead
The next two weeks are going to be incredibly busy as Bob prepares for major surgery that will sideline him for about 2 weeks. He is trying to get programs recorded ahead and contact a few people he would love to have as a guest host for a program or two. Keep Bob and his wife, Lori, in your prayers during this intense time.

Low Hanging Fruit
It dawned on your host, Bob Biermann, the other night that many of the news stories on both the left and the right, from the mainstream media to the new alternate media is often “low-hanging fruit” and “rage” stories. These political stories dominate the news cycle day in and day out. What good is an overload of rage stories and politics? How much of our life should be invested in only a small part of our true lives? Bob explores that question today. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

A New Chapter Begins
As we begin our 7th year, it is time to remind us of how we got to where we all are today, and how God has guided and protected this program from what has damaged the credibility of the many other programs. It seems that these podcasts, videos, and even some radio programs came out of nowhere over the past couple of years but, because of being too sensational and often incorrect, have started causing many in their audience to now seek real truth. We now have a track record to share. It is time to come into the center of that marketplace. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

1996, a pivotal year
You may not recognize it, but 1996 was a very pivotal year for the world at large. Computers came of age, the internet was taking shape, satellite TV started to grow, and a major change in the Telecommunications Act changed radio, television, and cable in a dramatic way. It was more of a course change than most people remember. Those who were born after were very different than those who were born before that time. Now, do you believe in this ministry?
