️Welcome to Liberty's Hill! Today, we dive deep into an intriguing question: Is America Embracing the Dark Side? Inspired by the timeless wisdom of Yoda, we explore how fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering—both in a galaxy far, far away and right here in our own society.

Hosted by Dr. Bill Brannan, a passionate pastor from Liberty Hill, Texas, this episode examines modern-day parallels to the concepts of liberty and oppression depicted in Star Wars.

• The Role of Fear in Public Discourse: Are we promoting good by dehumanizing those who disagree?
• Real-world Examples: Reflections on social media debates and high-profile political figures.
• A Better Way Forward: Discussing alternative approaches inspired by Christian teachings and epic cinematic narratives.

Could Right and Left Categorization Be Destroying America? Today we want to consider whether the categorization into right and left may be a model that is destroying the future of America. The left often terms those on the right “Nazi” and those on the right do the same for the left. Both seem to agree that “Nazi”, or fascism, or tyranny is something nobody wants. America’s founding fathers had a framework of ideas that provide a roadmap to create a culture of liberty rather than tyranny. Join our podcast to discover that framework.
