    Send us a text

    We reflect on how we spend our time, then link daily choices to character, marriage, and the health of our nation. Scripture from Titus, James, and Psalms anchors a tough look at integrity, a brief honor for Daniel Bishop, and a strong case that education without virtue fails.

    • examining time and priorities against God’s standards
    • roles and responsibilities in marriage and family
    • James 5 on wealth, patience, prayer, and plain speech
    • integrity as kept promises over grand claims
    • honoring Medal of Honor recipient Daniel Bishop
    • education’s decline tied to loss of character formation
    • founders’ view that virtue sustains liberty
    • practical steps to realign habits with purpose

    If you're looking for a family-friendly middle grade read along the lines of uh Narnia, Hobbit, Harry Potter, if you give Countryside a try, I would appreciate it
    And if you're getting something out of the podcast each day and you think you have three or four or five dollars a month, uh there's a support slash donate page on the BuzzFrout website for the podcast

  • Running The Race: Marriage, Scripture, And Courage
    Oct 25 2025

    Send us a text

    We challenge how we spend the last 24 hours, then trace a path from marriage and mutual duty to endurance, discipline, and courage shaped by Scripture. History, quotes, and a Medal of Honor story ground the call to choose truth over comfort and live with purpose.

    • asking honest questions about time and priorities
    • mutual belonging and rhythm in marriage from 1 Corinthians 7
    • endurance, holiness, and the Father’s discipline in Hebrews 12
    • generosity, courage, and legacy in Psalm 112
    • iron sharpens iron as a model for friendship and growth
    • Richard Binder’s courage at Fort Fisher as a model of duty
    • Scripture as first recourse, not last resort
    • rejecting hollow centrism in favor of principled truth

    If you are getting something out of the podcast, if you would share it with others, and if you feel like you can spare $3 a month or $5 a month to donate to the podcast, that would help a great deal. There’s a support page there on the Buzz Sprout website for the podcast. If you enjoy it, if you would leave a review, I would be very grateful for that.

    • wisdom from above versus jealousy and ambition
    • trust in God amid trouble from Psalm 118
