This week we take a little departure from our normal type of program. I recently had the opportunity to interview Don Reid of the Statler Brothers music group. I must admit, I went all-out fanboy on this one. I've been listening to the Statlers ever since I can remember. We're specifically talking about Don's new book - The Music of The Statler Brothers: An Anthology. Yet, we also talk about their faith and even get into the connection between Southern Gospel music and Country Western. And, we do chat a little bit about total depravity...

This week's episode is ripped straight from the latest headlines. The question about whether or not to require face masks is dividing many churches. One side says that if you are not wearing one you are not loving your neighbor and putting the most vulnerable at risk. The other side contends that wearing a mask is evidence that you are living in fear and not trusting in Christ. Who is right? Or, is there another option? Listen in as Ray Jewell and I tackle this controversial topic.Recommended Resources:Republocrat: Confessions of a Liberal Conservative by Carl R.
