Just Thinking is a long-form, expository podcast that boldly confronts cultural, social, political, and theological issues through an orthodox biblical worldview.

Claiming the solar dragon’s hoard was only the first step. It’s time for the Dream Girls and me to make our own “happily-ever-after,” but there’s still much to do. If the gods are absent from Meteoropolis, then I’ll play God in the meantime. I’ll fix this city with my cosmically vast array of solar dragon powers and banish the Void Cartel once and for all with the help of my friends and allies. I’ll use the secrets that my sister taught me to find ‘the Elloway’ and guide him home.

My father was a universe-hopping monster hunter. And he learned too late that by killing monsters across the multiverse, he was doing more harm than good. Now, armed with a sentient castle and a team of gorgeous monster ladies, I’m going to undo his damage. A werewolf, a Halloweeny catgirl, a vampire, a ghost, and a demon—the monsters that my father would have killed have become my partners...and more. But nothing worth doing comes easy. I’m going to sweat, bleed, fight, and kill my way toward my destiny of saving the multiverse by rescuing these quirky women—and nothing’s going to stop me.

The Aeneid is one of the greatest works in all of world literature. It is filled with mythology, history, and archaeology; it is infused with patriotism, religious feeling, and pathos; it is rich in adventure and romance. As the story begins, a storm shipwrecks Aeneas and his Trojan followers near Carthage in North Africa. There, Aeneas falls in love with Dido, queen of Carthage. But the gods order him to leave for Italy. In despair, Dido commits suicide. Upon finally reaching Italy, Aeneas goes down into the lower world and learns about his future descendants, the Romans.

Life in Meteoropolis is as eventful as usual. Whether it's Blossom the Flower Sprite campaigning to get the Nightmare Girls to join our Streamer House, the failures of the Brock Point System causing humorous drama, or multiple Dream Girls about to give birth, well, I've had my draconic hands full. But none of that scares me now that the Void Cartel is a thing of the past.

The true story of one family's struggle and triumph creating a self-sufficient life in the wilderness. Join the Horn family on the adventure of a lifetime. Learn how a couple from the city moved to the wilderness with three small boys and carved out a life in the middle of nowhere that has endured for nearly 50 years. Impossible Beyond This Point is a compelling must-listen for anyone interested in (or contemplating) getting away from it all.

Un meurtre odieux a été commis. Porphyre Petrovitchi, juge d'instruction, soupçonne un jeune étudiant en droit, Raskolnikov. Plutôt que de le confondre sur le terrain du droit, vulgaire et insignifiant, il conduit le suspect vers ces zones de la conscience où le meurtre est insupportable car il détruit la raison d'être de l'homme en tant qu'homme. Autour de ce noyau gravitent plusieurs personnages qui, ensemble, offrent le tableau d'une condition humaine d'autant plus tragique qu'elle est l'expression de l'impuissance des individus de vivre selon le grain de lumière qui est en eux.

Many believe that Constantine chose Christianity because it was the only religion that could offer him absolution for the innumerable crimes committed during his historic reign. He was a deeply troubled soul, an undeniably violent man, and an immensely immoral human being, but he was also more aware of his sins than most men. He knew how desperately he needed forgiveness. That is why he waited until the end of his life to be baptized, as it was the only way to ensure that his terrible record of inhumane acts was wiped clean. How then could it be that this beastly figure who was so full of ...

The cult known as the Black Phoenix is hot on my tail, attempting to thwart me as I liberate monster women across the multiverse and bring them back to my castle. Worse yet, a half-sister I never knew I had is their champion. The only thing that can stop a Van Helsing is a Van Helsing, so I can’t afford to take her lightly. What’s more, I have to stay focused on my mission. But when there’s downtime.

Just Thinking About Ethnicity (JTAE), is a biblical response to the issues of "race" and social justice. JTAE is a culturally-relevant, theologically-rich exploration into what the Word of God says about such issues and how the evangelical church should respond to the unbiblical narratives associated with them. Given that every believer in Christ is an apologist (1 Pet. 3:15), JTAE is a valuable addition to your repository of apologetics resources.

I've certainly come a long way in a short time. Having taken up the role of Incubus Lord of the Sixth Circle of Hell, you might say I've got a lot on my plate. Now that I have the sacred, sexy sword that my mysterious father left behind, it's time to unravel its secrets and plan my next move—to win dominion over Horcross City with the Iron Goddess as my ally.

A tale of two crimes in the twenty-first century: In the rugged ranch country of eastern Arizona, Graham County Deputy Branden Allred and San Carlos Tribal Police Officer Allen Victor are investigating the death of a young Apache. At first it appears to be a freak accident, a conclusion the Sheriff likes, but the officers begin to suspect murder. Motive is the major missing element, and nothing makes sense until a one-hundred-year old unsolved crime comes to light.

Many good men are already in the ground, and some bad ones too. The gravediggers and coffin makers are sore for the work, which has some folks questioning whether Tombstone is even worth rebuilding after a devastating fire swept across the town. With blood flowing down the San Pedro, the question is no longer if the other shoe will drop, but whose body will tumble the next time the unmistakable crack of gunfire echoes down Allen Street.

John Cutter has lived a blessed life since his most recent birthday, but his luck just might be running out. Sure, he's got the hottest harem of monster girls, demons, half-orcs, half-angels, and elves anyone could imagine, but he's also got necromancer drama, a murder to cover up, and a dungeon to delve. It's not all easy living in the day-to-day existence of a budding young Incubus Lord!

Land is only yours if you can keep it. Having wrested control of the Apacheria from the mighty Cochise and his many allies, a different fight begins to unfold south of the Gadsden Line. No longer on the offensive, Arizonans must now prove themselves capable of protecting their settlements, defending their forts, and maintaining their shipping routes if the Old Pueblo is to survive as anything more than a ghost town. With the Civil War now a figment of the past and the mighty Cochise all but whipped, the focus of the territorial government has shifted swiftly to the unrealized dream of ...

It was not the pursuit of glory or an age-old grievance with the Roman Empire that herded the Visigoths south to the northern border of Moesia for the first time in decades, but their fear of the Huns. The Visigoths were such skilled and aggressive warriors that their names became synonymous with the uncommon brutality of the European barbarian, and yet, this imposing horde arrived on the banks of the Danube as refugees. With a child on the throne of the West and diplomatic efforts with the Persian Empire reaching an impasse, the undeniably unimpressive Emperor Valens could be counted on to...

Gus served with conflicted pride in that uncivil war, seeing more battlefields than most. Disillusioned before the war began, he couldn't tell up from down by the time Joe Johnston surrendered at Durham Station. He had killed indiscriminately for four years, lacking all compassion for the men who fell by his gun so long as they wore a gray jersey. Such wanton violence made him the perfect soldier to tackle what the U.S. Government called the Indian Problem.

Working as regulators for the King of the Pecos, Charlie Clark and his talented crew of manhunters rode in their share of hangman posses. Neither were they strangers to Indian scrapes and shooting affrays. Fairly certain they’d seen every danger New Mexico offered, nothing prepared them for the unrelenting dustup which spilled out of Lincoln and touched off a firestorm so powerful it threatened to burn the whole Trans-Pecos to ash and cinder.

The Vandals and Huns were growing bolder by the hour and the Goths already dominated the whole of Illyricum. Barbarian officers led Roman armies, held positions in Roman government, protected Roman borders, facilitated Roman trade, owned Roman land, plowed Roman fields, and even prayed in Roman churches. This was not an enemy that could be met and defeated at the border. It was an enemy that already lived among them. The only way to remove such an invasive species was to eradicate it at the root, turning Romans against their heathen neighbors in such a cruel manner as could not be justified...

“There’s a delicate balance to be struck between age and wisdom. If we’re to win this war, we need young men to set the pace and old men to point them in the right direction. It’s something similar to a woodpecker. He can peck all day without a lick of progress if no one bothers to tell him that he’s banging his head on a stovepipe.” Wildflowers and Seedcorn recounts the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi Theater from the perspective of a wealthy family from Fort Smith, offering a staggering reminder that war is a young man’s game.
