CTP (S3EFebSpecial8) Judas, Redemption, And The Weight Of Choice
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
We talk with Deborah Griffin about reframing Judas inside the story of redemption, how calling can outrun credentials, and why love must reshape judgment and church life. From cancer survival to a quiet nudge to write, Deborah shares how obedience, mercy, and free will meet at the cross.
• Judas as part of prophecy and redemption
• Free will held within God’s sovereignty
• Substance of message over perfect grammar
• Surviving cancer and learning God’s voice
• Poverty, compassion, and having God’s heart
• Discernment without hypocrisy or cruelty
• Church as people on mission, not buildings
• Practical love for widows, orphans, and the unseen
• Balancing accountability with mercy in daily life
• How to find Deborah’s book and connect

CTP (S3E140) Affordability Now
It's the Affordability (Economy) Stupid! FACTS vs LIES.
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
We push past slogans and talk concrete steps to tackle affordability: temporary interest caps tied to prime, tougher minimum payments that hit principal, and real spending cuts that match new priorities. We call on listeners to pressure Congress and get off the sidelines.
• limits of executive power on interest caps
• temporary caps for on-time payers, higher ceilings for chronic late accounts
• raising minimum payments to speed principal payoff
• lower starting credit limits and stricter underwriting
• deficit math, tariff limits, and the need for real offsets
• civic action: calls, letters, donations, and primary engagement
• owning mistakes, learning fast, and staying focused on substance

Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond

• therapy, medication, and building a routine
• “rehab the mind” not chasing a perfect cure
• turning OCD into focus and clarity at work
• redesigning workload to protect sleep and health
• the book West Point To Wall Street
• using nonprofits, hotlines, and real follow‑through
• small acts of care that ripple into change
