While Turkeys can fly, a little bit, they are awkward and labor hard to do something that is not naturally native to them. Today, we discuss that same principle as so many issues that we face in today's culture are much like Turkey's flying.

In this episode we talk about trust and betrayal. What good can come from living under the shroud of difficulty and persecution. What can come of struggling in the darkness?
