(PART 1/2)…

Former church-planter and current apologetics teacher Jason Ellis covers critical theory, identity politics, and why the slippery slope only grows steeper.

I know it sounds crazy to tell the most successful team ever that we can learn from football's newest dynasty, but seeing how the Apostle Paul described sports sure explains why the Kansas City Chiefs keep winning.

"The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." Proverbs 28:1 (NIV) Law enforcement is tough. Doing law enforcement in Memphis, especially right now, is tougher. On the first interview in over 1.5 years, Tony covers Tik Tok, fentanyl, and some policing stories in his almost four years as an officer. To all of our m…

Why was Christ born on earth? What is the greatest ever Christmas song? And also, am I actually back this time? All of those are answered in this episode!

As time has gone on and things have changed, I have decided to rebrand the podcast. There will still be interviews, there will still be monologues, but there will also be way more personal takes on key issues. Theology, politics, firearms, fitness, who knows what else. Cattle Call Podcasting just became Christian Conservative Podcasting. Let's ride…

It's about to get real opinionated real fast. From COVID-19 to pedophilia in the government, Leanna allows me to be the most vocal I have ever been on a podcast and to share why I have become so conservative over the last 18 months and why the Bible absolutely has to be our ultimate source of truth. Cigar: Blanco Above & Beyond HEROES (PART 2/2)…

In this episode, special guest "Expert Liz" shares her views on a topic near and dear to her— sex. Not for the faint of heart, Liz and I discuss sexuality in America, the concept of virginity, consent, and other similar subjects. A huge thank you to Liz for coming on to tackle something that makes most people uncomfortable— which is why we are havi…

A reflection on the month of March, what I learned from podcast guests Morgin Tucker, Caleb King, and Peter Shadrach, and why I believe bold people fighting for good things are the ones who made history. Cigar: TRC Cigars Robusto (Sponsored by: Battleground South Cigar Lounge - Columbia, Tennessee)

The 2021 NCAA College Basketball tournament begins today, so to kick things off, Caleb King, Peter Shadrach, and host Isaac O. Weston sit down to discuss the bracket, but get sidetracked joking around. How close is your bracket to King's and Pete's?

If you fall in the 40% of Americans who will put any amount of money down for March Madness this year, you will want to hear this episode with gambling semi-pro Caleb King. If you have no idea what sports betting is or if you should even attempt it, well, Peter Shadrach is here to represent all amateurs. (Sponsored by: Bluff City Cash Offer - Memph…

Julia Bey is a coach for Memphis Athletic Ministries, a faith-based urban m…

In this episode we talk about the role fashion plays in our society, what makes New York such a unique city, and random stories about history and animals.…

Man, did a lot happen today in America. Protestors stormed Capitol Hill and after a day of talking to friends on both sides of the aisle (and lots of Facebook comments), I decided to record a quick recap and explanation from my stance as a Christian, an American, and a Conservative and why we must move forward as one nation.…

It was a slow month due to the holidays, so this episode is more of a reflection on the year of 2020 as a whole and using what we learned to move forward into 2021. A huge thank you to everyone who made this founding year a great one and lots of exciting things planned for 2021! Happy New Year and welcome to the other side!…

In a turn of events, Michael and I discuss stand-up comedy, the unique art behind telling jokes during current events, and also a quick evaluation on great television shows worth watching. (PART 2/2)

After years of late-night cigar discourse, we finally recorded a podcast. Michael is a recent Lipscomb University graduate who spent time working with Alabama football and is now a CrossFit coach in Nashville, Tennessee.

A reflection on the month of November, what I learned from podcast guests Luke Reilly, Ann-Marie Wyatt, and Dakota Wyatt, and the new sense of urgency we have as a nation to reclaim data as our best friend. Cigar: Macanudo Cafe Hyde Park

He is an aspiring architect, a man of many side hustles, a recent convert of all things Second Amendment, and my cigar-smoking buddy of the last six years! What a treat it was to have Dakota on for an hour of his Friday night!

She's a wife, a mother of three, and the founder of Taylor Square Photography in Oxford, Mississippi. Ann-Marie is also an Ole Miss alumna, a farmer's daughter, and the small-business owner you want as your boss!

It has been a week since Election Day, but we still don't have an official president to inaugurate on January 20, 2021. Since it is unsure who will inhabit the White House next, we asked American voters why they picked the candidate they did. Thank you to everyone who helped compose this episode! Hopefully this will help each of us see the other si…

A reflection on the month of October, what I learned from podcast guests Kristen Lusby, Joshua Vinson, Becka Matthews, and Pierce Jackson, and some advice from my younger self on what presidential elections mean for us as Americans. Cigar: Felipe II Fat Boy Extra

He raps, he films, he acts, he plays multiple instruments, and he still hasn't become the occupational therapist he wants to be! Pierce Jackson is a college lacrosse player, college football trainer, marching band trombonist, and future entertainer with ties to Austin, Houston, Memphis, and Nashville.…

A huge thank you to the very talented Becka Matthews (and her roommate K.K.) for having me over for this week's episode. On a nice fall evening in Midtown, we sat on the balcony discussing Becka's time as a dancer (not a cheerleader!) for the Memphis Pom Squad, why art should be taught as "always relevant," and how art education can be used to make…

(OPINIONS EXP…

After watching the vice presidential debate, it appears the United States is torn and not heading in a promising direction. Here I reflect on the danger of superficiality, the importance of conviction, and share a handful of quotes that have stood the test of time.

A reflection on the month of September, what I learned from podcast guests Lauren Berry and Rebecca Hart, and the importance of having honest conversations with those who think differently. Cigar: Victor Sinclair '55' Imperial Habano

She's a woman of God, cardiovascular ICU nurse, triathlete, fan of most things British, best wingwoman a man could want, but Rebecca Hart is one of my favorite people to be around because she is always easygoing and not afraid to get deep.

First. Female. Guest... and what a great guest she was! But Lauren Berry is more than just a woman. She's a runner, a traveler, an optimist, and the future of public relations in the city of Memphis— or whichever great city she will be in next!

A reflection on the month of August, what I learned from podcast guests Mitch Anderson and Julian Griffin, and how they helped me grow as a man! Cigar: Romeo y Julieta 1875 Short Churchill

What in the world is going on in America? In this episode, I reflect on the Jacob Blake shooting aftermath and how we as a society can start to turn things around; thinking rationally rather than emotionally, taking responsibility, and valuing others as individuals instead of stereotypes.

As much as we wanted to keep things quick and concise, Julian had too much great stuff to say... so he gets two episodes on Cattle Call! We got to know him in episode No.4a, but we really get to know him in episode No.4b. Join us as we get deep into the issues America is facing today and how he as a black veteran views the current state of the Unio…

What a literal blast it was to have the great Julian Griffin on Cattle Call Podcast!
