THE THESIS: God created all things. He created our needs. We need music. God gifted some people to produce it, others to build the instruments they play. I originally intended a fun show to defend sometimes cheesy rock ballads, but was concerned: is it godly? Listeners were also concerned and said it. Well, I feel pretty good about seeing the godly things even if it comes from people who were--many still are--not in a relationship with God. Yes, I think we can see the godly in and around rock ballads and what they have met for many of us.

Thumbs down on rock music reviews.. don’t see how God can be honored through worlds music…. In the world not of the world. Won’t listen!☹️… just my opinion….

Todd… you are spending too much time on the bible. It has made you weak. Conservatives need to kick ass and take names or we will lose this country. what happened to you? you used to refuse to pay car tab taxes and follow illegal gun laws. why does Jesus make you a weak sister. wake up. We need you back.

Todd:

The best rock ballad ever recorded is Beth, by KISS. Why? Because its honest. I was a touring musician for two decades and only ever made it to regional fame. People who make it in music are a mess for the reasons that song describes: no time for anything but the band.

Love the show, putting GOD at the center ROCK more than any band.

Dear Todd,

As for rock ballads, my favorite of all time is “I remember you” by Skid Row. People can say whatever they want, but Sebastian Bach was a great singer and that song took me through the hardest times of my life when it seemed like every friend I had forgot about me and I still remembered them. Then, one by one, my friends came back and that song was a big reason why, because I put it on Facebook and admitted I was lonely and all my old friends came out of the woodward and prayed for me and loved on me. We even went to metal shows as married, Christian women proudly sharing Gods word. 

Love you so much!

Traci!

Blue Oyster Cult... We could be academic here and look at what constitutes a ballad... And from the French perspective it does. Right type of rhythm as they did with rhyme in Medieval times. For me it has strong memories of being on my own and an untimely death of my boyfriend (fast cars) so as a young adult I saw it as a message from the grave. (Read Romeo and Juliet 14 times that year).

Beth is still one of my favorites and not quite a ballad, but a good heart rendering tune. Speaking of another Heart...I'm sure if I went through my collection I'd find something there, although I don't think singing "Kick it Out"...now I want to grab my guitar!

Glad your wife will be on this Friday!!

Michelle,

Todd…with all due respect to your wife, Don’t Fear The Reeper is the opposite of a ballad, it’s too fast and it is a gut trying to talk a girl into suicide and not in the Romeo and Julietter way (which was bad enough), but in a Satanic way. 

Best ballad ever? Dream on. 

Much love to you and Julie and the team and even your wife, LOL. 

Michelle in Roy.

Todd, we appreciate you so very much my brother! I do however need to bring attention to a point you made in Episode 140 at 25:42-48 loosely regarding qualifications for being a godly person. "you cannot be a godly person and be giving money to these ungodly entities". Question: does that only apply to school unions, or should one also apply it toward any other ungodly entity, such as Amazon or my bank. Perhaps some clarity could be brought to this in an upcoming episode.

AGAIN, we LOVE you brother and thank GOD for the godly work you do with proclaiming THE truth to all through this podcast. Bless you Brother!

Hi Todd,

Even though I'm still smarting from hearing you call a pride parade a "free speech parade" and don't seem to be even close to grasping  that God is pleased with Putin for saving children; in fact, having the spiritual pride to convict him of being a Godless evil murderer with no right to protect the sanctity of all Russians especially children, I'm sending this.

If you noticed my communications having fallen off, it's because you also appear to be unteachable as far as  getting away from Gmail is concerned..

God Bless you for all that you get right.

Still listening . . .

From Mike Adams of Natural News:

Russia, which is now far more Christian than America, just introduced new law criminalizing “LGBT propaganda”

Friday, June 10, 2022 by: Ethan Huff

(Natural News) New legislation proposed in Russia would make it a crime for anyone in the country to promote unnatural sexual relations, or what the government there is calling “LGBT propaganda.”

Russia’s State Duma received the draft legislation on Tuesday and it is currently being reviewed by the state-building and legislation committee. Those who violate its provisions would face fines of up to $160,000, reports indicate.

An amendment to existing administrative law, the bill would restrict the transmission of all information promoting non-traditional sexual relations. In its current form, administrative law only prohibits such information from being spread to minors, which is also known as grooming.

An explanatory note attached to the document explains that “family, motherhood and childhood in their traditional understanding, which comes from our ancestors, are the values that ensure the continuous change of generations, act as a condition for the preservation and development of a multinational people, and therefore need special state protections.”

Can you imagine something like this being proposed in the United States using such language, let alone being taken seriously by our corrupt government officials? It sure seems like Russia is a whole lot more Christian than the West these days.

Russia isn’t going to let its culture be destroyed by foreign influences

According to the provisions of the bill, fines would be levied for propaganda aimed at “forming non-traditional sexual attitudes, the attractiveness of non-traditional sexual relations, a distorted idea of the social equivalence of traditional and non-traditional sexual relations, and the imposition of information about non-traditional sexual relations, causing interest in such relations.”

As long as no criminal offense is committed, fines for individuals would range between 40,000 and 50,000 rubles, which is the equivalent of about $660 to $830. Government officials who violate the new law would be fined a greater amount at between 100,000 and 500,000 rubles, or between $1,660 and $8,300.

Legal entities would be fined anywhere from one million to five million rubles, or about $16,600 to $83,000, as well as a forced suspension of all activities for up to 90 days.

“The punishments would be more severe if the suspected violations were carried out with the use of mass media or the internet, in which case the fines would range from 100,000 and 500,000 rubles ($1,660- $8,300) for ordinary citizens, 500,000 to one million rubles ($8,300-$16,600) for officials, and up to 10 million ($166,000) for legal entities,” RT explains.

“Foreign citizens are also mentioned in the bill, as they could also face fines of between 40,000 and 100,000 rubles ($660-$1,660) or from 100,000 to 500,000 ($1,660- $8,300) if they use the internet for the promotion of such relationships. Alternatively, foreign citizens or people without citizenship could face a 15-day administrative arrest followed by expulsion from the Russian Federation.”

The bill’s authors note that while it is important to provide reasonable protection for the rights of all individuals, “at the same time, the threats arising from the imposition of foreign standards that break the generally accepted way of life in the field of family and marriage begs the question about a need to protect the culture of the majority, including by introducing additional legal regulation.”

In other words, foreigners with foreign beliefs and ideologies are seeking to change the culture of Russia, and Russia is not having any of it. Punishment will be given to anyone who violates this for the protection of Russian culture and the Russian way of life.

It is important to note that the bill explicitly does not infringe upon personal freedoms or the right of individuals in Russia to determine their own sexual orientation. All it does is protect the rest of Russia from being forcibly converted to the Cult of LGBT, which is what is currently happening in the West.
