From My Standpoint

From My Standpoint

In an age where perception is fact and negativity and conflict remain entertainment, it can be difficult and sometimes troubling to find a positive and try and understand another’s perspective. Join Josh C. Jones, an author, teacher, speaker, and more, as he discusses different topics in an attempt to showcase a differing perspective with a nugget of positivity and truth. Let's ask those questions, travel some of those logical thought trails, think outside the current culture's accepted cognition, and find some valuable information, which could very well bring hope, understanding, and a proper perspective to our lives. With these podcast episodes, as with my books and writings, I hope to help you rebuild your faith, reignite your hope, overcome depression, open that dialogue, and reach your destiny of richness, success, and life.

A powerful and provocative political poem that explores the erosion of liberty and constitutional principles in the face of unchecked executive power. Through vivid imagery and a rhythmic structure, we draw parallels between historical monarchy and modern political leadership—suggesting that while kings may not wear crowns today, their methods of suppression, censorship, and control persist under new guises. Wi...

What is foolish? What is good judgment? Is there any type of good when judging?

Proverbs 26:4-5 says, “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.”

Do not debate with a fool on their own terms. That is a futile action.

But who is a fool? What is a fool? How do you talk to fools?

Do you remember the ignorance and idiocracy that ran amok many years ago? Well, I do, because I wrote a short blog about it, which is now a podcast episode.

The 2024 presidential election is over, but the hysteria continues.

For any election, really, how can we cope with a new administration, a new person in the office as President of the United States of America? How can we rest our fears on the chopping block of truth?

How should a Christian even begin to try to decide who to cast their vote for?

Really, how should anyone who claims to believe in the Bible, God, follow Jesus, or even wear the title of Christian, Jew, Catholic, etc. even begin to decide who would be the best person on the ballot to cast their vote for?

Voting is your right, and it is how you express your values and sho...

The Bible is the most popular and widely read book in the world. However, it is also the least understood among those whose chosen foundation is anti-biblical and anti-God. Yet, even with this open disregard for truth, those who shun biblical teaching still know deep down that these teachings are true, and they still attempt to follow God’s commands, knowing God is right.
