Welcome to One Day Closer with Mark and Dave where we are rekindling a spirit of Hope and Truth into today’s crazy discussions. If your joining us for the first time, ODC has a tendency of boldly wondering into topics that here in the west are taboo around the dinner table…topics like politics…religion…Bible and sensitive social constructs. We do this not to be contrarian but to expose what use to be obvious in decades past, but today seems cloudy at best to down right corrupt and twisted insane logic.So we decided for the next three months, ahead of the mid-terms, we’re going to attempt to peel back the layers of the Political Onion, if you will, and dive deep into the positions beings pitched by the players come November. This Fall Series is intended to help our US based listeners better understand their choices in November or hear, for the first time, the policy positions of their current favorite candidate…from an open and honest perspective.The objective is to highlight specific policies or positions candidates are pitching, communicate all sides of the argument, regardless of whether its a political challenge or a cultural challenge, ponder both the absurdity and the common sense surrounding each proposed solution…and give you, our listeners a mission, tools and direction as to how to engage.For our loyal listeners…don’t worry…Mark and I will still make time to poke fun at stupidity, connect supportive biblical references when appropriate and keep our eye on current affairs and keep you updated on the decimation of the IRGC, empowering the uprising of the Persian people that want to live and thrive, bible prophesy and what lies ahead from our perspective.But before I get started with a quick overview of what specifically we intend to cover over the next three months, I want to share an epiphany God gave me a couple of weeks ago during my evening prayer.As I prepared for bed and began contemplating what I want to talk with God about…my heart was heavy on ALL the things that are wrong with not just our country but the whole world. Have you ever done that? You start praying with hope and encouraging words and before you know it your complaining like a 7 year old kid or a recently graduated college kid…when they find out their basket weaving with bamboo draws little interest in the market.I was praying for our country and caught myself starting to complain about how everything is so jacked up, but then I decided to first thank him for the beauty of this plant, the beautiful cities I’ve been blessed to visit and the ones I haven’t yet seen, the culture… the food… the people…the uniquely different traditions and faiths practiced around the globe…his handiwork in the landscape, topography, oceans, the clarity of the waters of the Caribbean, the mountains and again the people….some built beautiful things, monuments, bridges towns, cathedrals… while others built fortunes by taking advantage of everyone…they pursue greed, scammed the system, pursued profit with one self-serving objective in mind…self…etc., etc.Then I asked Him, “Lord, how do we right this ship? Where do we start? People are divided, nations are still warring with neighboring nations, everything is broken, every institution in America has been left unchecked, unaudited and unaccountable, corruption is everywhere…and then he answered my question even before I was finished listing my complaints…“You right the ship the same way you built this nation…one generation at a time. Your life is your sacrifice for the freedoms you hope to pass down to your children’s children.”That was an epiphany for me because I’ve always thought that our life was our legacy and that was something we left behind for our loved ones…but His answer said “one generation at a time.” That means we all add a stone to wall. It’s not my job alone to build the wall or right the ship…it’s all of us that are called to make not only a contribution but a significant difference FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.It became clear to me that ODC can serve as MORE THAN a voice exposing and laughing at stupid. We could be an awesome teaching resource if we dove deeper into topics of vital importance. If we changed our focus or raised the bar just a little higher, we could offer more than just suggestions to “get involved at your school” or to “write your congressman.” So with that encouragement, I pitched Mark on the idea of the Fall Series and here we are. So. Here’s a quick overview of what we intend to cover over the next three months. We’ll start with a few starter courses to prep you guys for where we expect to end. For example:Why it’s Important to Educate Yourself: www.usvoterfoundation.orgWhy we need to watch News and not just read news….and what News sources should we trust and why. The Wizard of Oz and Media. What they share in common.Why the youth choose ...
