The Based Podcast
What are you Based on? This is the question we put forth in every episode of Season 1. What is your worldview, your attitudes & words, your conversations you have inside your head Based on? If you are a follower of Christ, then every though you have should be Based on the Word of God, filtered through that book instead of the upside-down Clownworld that we are currently occupying. Season 2 changes direction to a 1 on 1 interview/interrogation format, between Layman vs. Pastor, in which we ask for clarification of some of the nagging issues that most of us would be too shy to approach our pastor about. Things that may not make sense to us about a sermon, or bible verse, but can really distort our worldview if left unresolved.

Fornication is one of those old timey words that needs to make a comeback to our modern parlance. Our culture is absolutely drunk on the proliferation of fornication. It's in our marketing, our movies and tv shows, all over our phones through social media and so-called "news". Selling illicit sex is a hugely profitable business, and everyone is susceptible to the temptation to indulge.
In this discussion Chris &...
Season 2 kicks off with the 1st in our series of LAYMAN vs. PASTOR, in which I interrogate a pastor for clarification on some of the issues of our modern times that confound us.
This episode revolves around a devotional email that Pastor Randy Anderson (1st E Free Sioux Falls) recently sent out centered on Psalm 4:4 - "Be angry and do not sin: ponder in your own hearts in your own beds, and be silent. Selah"

In this episode, we celebrate a local pastor for his fearless stance on preaching the entire bible to his congregation. One issue we discuss is his recent sermon on the “Pathetic Propaganda” used by the wicked to distort and weaken the sovereignty of Jesus, both during His time and now. We also touch on some churches falling prey to the “affirmation” cult and Theological Minimalism as a means to fill pews.

God made men to be lions, not love bunnies. The Campus Preacher is a living example of what it means to be a lion; as he travels the country preaching the Word of God, Based on the entire bible, to what must surely be the most hostile environment in modern America - the college campus.

Most believers know that our culture has become grossly "debased". How do we get "re-based"?
Here we discuss the importance of Based Storytelling. For the most part, Christians have abandoned the field of storytelling in our modern times. But the Creator of the Universe, whom we serve, is the author of EVERY story; and of course Jesus was the most effective story (parable) teller of all time.

Sometimes, if one is seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God will speak in VERY CLEAR language. This is what happened to our guest, as he contemplated his plans for his ministry on the Crow Creek Reservation. God told him to feed His people, every week, and He would handle the rest from there. Obedience leads to blessings; faithfulness in our works is Kingdom-building.

Much of our modern entertainment/propaganda creators push the fantasy that children are the source of magical special knowledge, while adults fiddle fart their way through life, one crisis to the next. But, what seasoned adults in “the real world” know is that kids are dumb™ and not to be listened to.
However, in this episode we interview two exceptions to this rule. Young men (18 years old) who are Based on the Word and who just m...
The heart of anger beats to the pulsating sense of entitlement that “we deserve better than this!” Humility — the abandonment of the self-deception of control — is the antidote to anger.
Derrick Marks is a recovering "angry man", Yankton Sioux Tribal Council member, pastor, based-on-the-word up and comer who joins us to discuss a condition that afflicts many young men — angry man syndrome. We also get into some thorny issu...
Pastor Uri recently wrote an article for the Fight Laugh Feast magazine titled “CULTURE WARS & THE LAND GOD PROMISED”, in which these nuggets appeared:
- “In the last 50 years, many found the seduction of tranquility and monastic living more appealing than fighting the war for the land of Canaan.”
- “They will take their culture wars with an extra shot of espresso.”
- “Local pastors must speak clearly and unambiguously on these cult...

For many of us parents, we simply are outgunned when it comes to influencing our children against our modern decadent, corrupted, pagan culture. As we recently heard a local pastor say, we are the most messaged humans in all of history. And honestly, the majority of the messaging is against our worldview, and offensive to our Creator.
SO, what to do?
In 2020, Jim Rieffenberger joined with our very own Jeff Gould (America’s Storytel...
Part of having a BASED worldview is utilizing a vocabulary that is biblical, truthful and absolutely fearless. Sin, taboo, perverse, meek, and providence are some of the words and concepts that seem to have been erased from our American non-church lingo. In this episode we discuss the value in bringing them back into our lexicon.

As we shake our heads at the tyranny of the Canadian government, most of us don't even know the half of it.

This is a subject no one wants to talk about.
There are not only many loved ones left wondering "why, why, why!?", but there even more people you know (perhaps even yourself ) who are struggling with the demonic pull—the voice that tells you that the world would “better off without you in it.”
This is a lie from the Evil One, but that voice can sound just like our own voice.
Who wants to go to work?!
Unfortunately, the events of the past few years have had a negative effect on Americans’ work ethic. Some speculate that it’s a direct result in the insidious influence of applied Marxism. Some say it’s a general malaise or a creeping nihilism that has infected the youth through the constant drip of the social media cesspool leakage media doom spreading.
In this episode, we discuss what is looking like an e...
Youth sports, for many parents, becomes an all-consuming obsession into which they invest meaningful amounts of time, money and emotional energy, leading to idolatry.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
