This week, Jon Adams takes listeners on an impassioned ride through local golf dreams, national turmoil, and spiritual silver linings. Kicking off with a mix of humor and humility about his golfing aspirations in the Maple River Championship, Jon quickly pivots to a heartfelt thank-you for the Fargo community’s Juneteenth celebrations and reflects on the shifting cultural landscape in Moorhead.
But it’s not all local flavor—Jon dives deep into the emotional and political fallout from the U.S. bombing of Iran, tackling big questions about truth, trust, and the terrifying potential for future conflict. He also grapples with rising food costs (White Castle sliders, we see you 👀), media bias, and the cultural divide between extremes.
A surprise door-knock from a local mom promoting Vacation Bible School reignites John’s hope for the country—bringing a needed spiritual breather in a show filled with political tension.
🔥 Don’t miss a powerful call-in segment with listener Andy, who shares his take on the Trump administration, optimism, and diplomacy.
