David Bensinger gives us insight into the mysterious and exotic nation of Myanmar. We talk about its history, its people, and our decades of work with the Church and their physical needs. 
For years Myanmar hid itself from the world scene and has been in continual conlict and civil war since the British gave it its full independence in January. 
For a few years there was pullback from this hermit-like approach and visitors from the West were welcome.  Aaron and Michelle Dean visited in 2017. In 2018 Austin and Aaron Jennings from Australia visited and helped conduct the Feast of Tabernacles.  They made a short video that can be seen at  https://youtu.be/8gZlq9P5ES0  We discuss some of the current needs and optimistic plans.

No one can deny that we have entered markedly different times since 2020,   Every month seems to introduce a new what at one time may have considered a once in a lifetime crisis.  Now, the crises come one after another.  It's sudden runaway inflation, world tension on the brink of a civilization-ending world war. The United States has joined other countries as a post-Christian society.  How can we cope and live a meaningful life that is governed by more than platitudes?  I talk to Christian psychologies Dr. Roy Fouch who gives us insight from both his prison practice to his private practice about how to cope and how how to become a constructive Christian.  

News from Ukraine is changing daily.  A war is on.  Future is uncertain.  Yet, organizations like LifeNets are actively making a difference in the lives of the people on the ground.  The war is now 117 days old.  Read about where we've come and where we are headed.  Local newspaper features the work of LifeNets.

The nation is still reeling from the senseless massacre of 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on May 24, 2022.  How does society react to such destructive actions?  What should we all do in a society that allows such unimaginable atrocities that could happen anywhere?  I talk to Union Township Police Chief Lieutenant Anthony Rees about the questions as we search for answers.
Tony Rees is a member of my Rotary Club and has done two previous podcasts with me on Inside United and has spoken to Ambassador Bible College on two occasions.
