Fly-By Radio: No-Show Guests, Real-World Costs, and Keeping the Faith (Ep. 180)

In this fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants Monday night broadcast from Eagle Pass, I roll solo for a bit after a guest no-shows, then tag in our executive producer and friend, Wayne Rankin, for a wide-ranging, candid conversation. We catch up on Wayne’s recovery, ranch life in Washington state, homesteading wins, and how the rising cost of living, property taxes, and everyday expenses are hitting working families. From Epic City’s regulatory limbo in Texas to government shutdown chatter, DOJ headlines, and Israel-Gaza peace talk rumors, we sift through the noise, ask what’s really changing on the ground, and vent about taxation without representation. We close on faith, fellowship, and endurance—discussing prophetic signposts, the Christian walk, and the importance of staying the course, praying for the persecuted, and “occupying till He comes.” I share ways to support the show and keep us independent, thank our producers, and preview Tuesday’s “Do No Harm” episode with Svetlana from Ezra Healing. Whether you’re tuning in live on modern podcast apps or catching the replay, thanks for riding along on a very Monday Monday—happy trails until tomorrow.
