Pentagon vs Vatican: Faith in War

Pentagon vs. Vatican: Faith in War

Is military policy being driven by faith? In this episode, we dive deep into the complex intersection of Christian nationalism within the U.S. military and the contrasting calls for global peace from the Vatican.

Host Dan Parsons analyzes the tension between modern military strategy and religious doctrine, specifically looking at **Pope Leo’s legacy** of peace versus the rising influence of nationalist ideologies in the Pentagon.

The Rise of Christian Nationalism: How religious identity is shaping current military policy.
The Vatican’s Stance: A look back at Pope Leo’s calls for peace and how they clash with modern-day hawks.
Faith vs. Force: Can religious values and national security ever truly be separated?
Analysis of Current Events: Real-world implications of these shifting dynamics in 2026.

Austin Ahlman, an independent candidate for Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District, joins the show to discuss his late entry into the race against Republican incumbent Mike Flood and Democratic nominee Chris Bachemeyer. Ahlman shares the personal family tragedy that motivated his campaign, explains why he believes independent candidates can break through in Nebraska politics, and outlines his views on monopolies, artificial intelligence, housing, and U.S. foreign policy. We also discuss ballot access, the growing dissatisfaction with the two-party system, and whether a new independent movement is beginning to take shape in Nebraska.

Why Nebraska Imports Most of Its Food

Why Nebraska Imports Most of Its Food

Jun 5, 2026 |

Robinette Farms co-owner Alex McKiernan joins the show to discuss local food systems, community-supported agriculture, and the challenges of building a more resilient food economy in Nebraska. We discuss why Nebraska imports much of the food it consumes despite being a leading agricultural state, the benefits of buying local food, and how farm-to-table relationships can strengthen both communities and public health. We also explore farm-to-school initiatives, the Mayor’s Local Food Challenge, food security, sustainable agriculture, and the work Robinette Farms is doing to connect consumers directly with Nebraska farmers and food producers.
