CTP (S3E172) What If Reading Is A Spectrum?
Yep, this Saturday episode another Guest joining vs normal Saturday's monologue format.
We debate whether audiobooks “count” as reading and why the definition changes when you factor in accessibility, learning styles, and real-world comprehension. We also talk with author and podcaster Lucinda Sage Midgordon about her time-slip novel, creative projects, and how to build audio and video shows without overspending.
• casual reading decline versus growth in audiobooks and ebooks
• defining “reading” as decoding text versus absorbing material
• special education experiences with read-aloud learning and oral testing
• Braille as a reminder that reading uses more than eyes
• Lucinda’s novel The Space Between Time and its two connected timelines

CTP (S4ESepSpecial5) Faith, Power, And The Limits Of Government
We talk with Rev. Raymond R. Roberts about why American politics feels more volatile, and how a thicker moral vocabulary can rebuild trust without handing anyone unchecked power. We connect public theology to real-world civics, from federalism and the Bill of Rights to conscience, natural law, and the difference between voluntary community and coercion.
• Raymond’s upbringing, sense of call, and why a life of service feels “rich” in a different way
• The origin story behind the song Let Freedom Ring and what freedom means beyond slogans
• Biblical community versus Marxism, plus why forced collectivism corrodes responsibility
• Public theology as a way to clarify words like sin, vocation, creation, and moral law
• The doctrine of sin as a foundation for limited government, separation of powers, and constraints on leaders
• Federalism as covenant, binding promises, and shared obligations without erasing difference
• Natural law, conscience, and why basic moral truths show up across belief systems
