Join Kevin and Bud as they look back over the 2026 midterm elections, asking and addressing some key post-election questions:

- Just how bad was it for Republicans? For Christ followers? For our nation at large? Who was responsible?

- Did Christians have a role in this becoming such a bloodbath? Do Christians really understand what the Bible says about their participating in the affairs of government?

- Why would voters cast their ballots for candidates who have stated they want to diminish or even destroy the very thing that identifies or benefits those voters?

- Can we expect another explosion of gender confusion in the next few years? How about the southern border? Will it remain secure?

- Do so many 2024 conservative voters realize what impact they had by either sitting out or voting against conservative candidates out of anger? Where does the conservative movement go from here?

On today’s episode of the 12:2 podcast, Kevin and Bud kick off with a look at the senatorial race in Alaska, where ‘Decoy Dan’ J. Sullivan of a remote Alaskan fishing village, was ‘mysteriously’ added to the ballot opposite Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan and Democratic Challenger Mary Peltola. The guys discuss the NY Times story linking the scandal directly to the Peltola campaign, alleging the motive was to fraudulently confuse and syphon off votes from the incumbent Republican.

Catch also the guys’ take on the current U.S. debt level and why the proverbial can will likely continue to get kicked down the road on this problem. Bud asks Kevin if there will be a generation that will be willing to sacrifice to alleviate some of the debt load. What do you think? Hear both of the guys’ responses. Watch or listen in and see who’s right!

Join Kevin and Bud as they take a look at how we have gotten to where we are
with the state of 'politics' in our nation. The elections ahead of us are
quite consequential, yet the question looms, 'Where did we get some of these
candidates?!' The guys look at the process against the backdrop of Biblical
expectations that are clear in Scripture!

Join Bud and Kevin for a LIVE Q&A as they discuss the 2026 midterms and what they tell us about Christians, the Church and the Culture.

n the latest edition of the 12:2 Podcast, Kevin and Bud cover a number of issues relating to faith and culture. First, in an interesting exchange, Kevin brings some clarity around the Seven Laws of Noah, or ‘Noahide Laws’, which according to the Talmud were given by God to Noah and his sons. Many Jews live by these guidelines fairly rigorously.

Then, the guys exchange thoughts on how to decide on voting choices in the upcoming midterm elections. What do you do when races have non Bible-believing candidates? How do you choose?

Join Bud on this solo edition of the 12:2 Podcast as he discusses the need to grasp the intentions of our nation’s founders. He centers on the unalienable rights that, according to the Declaration of Independence, are ‘endowed by the Creator’, through Whom, incidentally, all men are created equal - these rights being Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Bud makes the case that these rights are indeed from God, and are well-established early on, in Genesis 2 in the Creation account.

Bud then addresses why all this makes America Satan’s #1 target for destructions, seeking to replace this Biblical influence with a man-centered society. Finally, he gives his thoughts on how Christians should react to this warfare of Satan upon our nation.

Bud flies solo in the latest installment of the 12:2 Podcast. Tune in and see if he crashes the plane!

In this edition, he gives an introduction of the upcoming message series ‘America at 250: Preserving Biblical Values’ by framing up a Biblical definition of Freedom. He makes the point that freedom is what separates America from all the other nations of the world, and it is what makes so many in the world want to see our nation taken down. This in itself goes a long way toward proving that the founders of our nation had the right ideas, and they put the right ideas into commitments with the Constitution, the Declaration, the Bill of Rights, etc. Make it a goal to be better prepared to defend the Bible and its guidelines – the ‘boundaries’ as Bud refers to them in the podcast.

Join Kevin and Bud on this new edition of the 12:2 Podcast as they step for the first time into the BIG topic of Artificial Intelligence. Our president says that ‘AI will be the biggest game changer we have seen since the Industrial Revolution.’ That certainly seems within the realm of possibility. But others are claiming that AI will have the capability of taking over things and even putting humanity out of business! Is this a fair warning or is it just another overblown scare tactic designed to get attention or to impose control upon people? How does God’s Word address it?

The guys will certainly be talking more about this BIG topic as time goes on. In the meantime, thanks for watching and / or listening!
