Chaplain James Duncan, better known as just JD, is a remarkably impactful Alaskan.

Raised in Juneau, JD is a former pastor now serving as the Statewide Chaplaincy Coordinator for the Alaska Department of Corrections.

Although I haven't yet started visiting the prisons, I took the class he leads to train those who want to serve those who are incarcerated. It is intense and eye opening and very necessary.

It is also radically Biblical.

I am deeply grateful to have JD on "I'm Glad You Said That" to discuss this important ministry and to chat about other prayer groups he is a part of including the Governor's Prayer Breakfast. We'll get more out on that soon.

"Greater Than is a coalition of pastors, parents, influencers, policy makers, theologians, lawyers, students, and normie Americans who are all speaking with one voice. What are we saying? "Don't touch the kids." Marriage does not exist as a tool for adult validation. It is God's Plan A for child protection, and we intend to retake it on their behalf. "

Danny Funt, a Washington Post contributor, has written a book called "Everybody Loses: The Tumultuous Rise of American Sports Gambling" and it's getting people's attention.

From an on-line description..."In Everybody Loses, sportsbook employees divulge the perks they offer their biggest losers to keep them hooked, from courtside seats to tossing the first pitch at an MLB game. Oddsmakers spill their methods of skewing the numbers in their favor. Lobbyists detail how they converted skeptical politicians into gambling industry cheerleaders. Professional gamblers describe the network of “beards” they use to circumvent the industry’s attempts to block them from winning.

Insiders recall their secret meetings with NBA, NFL, and MLB executives, where they laid out how much money the leagues stood to make by partnering with sportsbooks. Athletes describe the tireless harassment they get from gamblers. Addicts talk about their attempts to hide their habit. Students who are legally too young to gamble talk about how easy it is to get on the apps."

This will be an interesting interview. Hope you can tune in.
