In today’s Friday edition from the Radio Ranch, I welcome my longtime friend Brent Allen Winters for a wide‑ranging conversation that ties current events back to first principles. We talk through mounting concerns about the global food system, fertilizer disruptions, and a new initiative dubbed “Food for Thought Radio” that aims to connect farmers directly with consumers and local communities—complete with a crypto back end—so people can build resilient, farm‑to‑table networks. From there, we move into stories from the field and the oil patch, the old teamster days with horses, and the practical wisdom our elders passed down about work, money, and self‑reliance.Brent then anchors us in scripture and common law: what constitutes just war versus murder, why Ephesians 6 frames defense as the Christian model, and how truth advances haltingly through flawed people. We touch on politics, media fog around the Middle East, and the danger of turning theology into a license for violence. We close with an invitation to keep learning—join our after‑show discussions, and if you don’t have a church home, come study along with Brent’s Sunday sessions and his common‑law courses.
