CTP (S3E145) AI Music continued... Good, Bad, Ugly...
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
We follow up on AI music by showing what I’m building with Suno after years away from instruments and recording gear. I share a playlist of AI-generated tracks that range from personal tributes to parodies, plus a few pointed messages about voice, truth, and what can’t be faked live.
• why I moved from physical instruments to Suno AI music creation
• where to find my Suno page and the growing song list (https://tinyurl.com/JLDonSUNO)
• how I use AI for both serious themes and parody songwriting
• why AI voices make live performance unrealistic right now
• “Life and Living” as an open-book message about choices and healing (based on https://tinyurl.com/LifeAndLivingSeries)
• tributes for deployed service members and my dad’s band
• holiday humor with “tear in my green beer” and a Cinco de Mayo party track
• pro-life themes and protecting the most vulnerable
• keeping humor alive through lame puns
• letting people breathe and giving others freedom
• a sports-themed diss track aimed at “Mediocre Max”
• support for law enforcement and first responders in “Back The Blue”
• faith-driven lines about truth and authority (based on https://tinyurl.com/ChristiTutionalistEduSeries)
• “facts and details matter” as a push for context in journalism

We talk with Elaine Lankford (her husband: aka: LankChevy, LOL) about building She Steps Forward International and why small seed money grants paired with coaching can launch sustainable Christian women-led businesses.

• What She Steps Forward International is and who it serves
• The four-part model: conference, group coaching, membership, grants
• Seed money grants at $500 and $1,000 and how eligibility works
• Why “teach them to fish” protects dignity and avoids dependency
• How small grants can trigger creativity and better decisions
• Charging reasonable fees to increase commitment and follow-through
• Lessons from nursing on self-reliance, education, and debt
• Firsthand concerns about socialized medicine and supply shortages abroad

CTP (S3EMarSpecial8) Combat Spy Truth Tests
Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond
We talk with former Army intelligence professional Pete A. Turner about what a “combat spy” really does and why verification matters more than outrage. We break down how target decisions get made, how propaganda hooks people, and why emotional headlines can be a warning sign.
• What “combat spy” means in Army intelligence and how it differs from strategic espionage
• Why commanders demand proof and how a target package is built from multiple intel sources
• How interdiction and counter-smuggling decisions work in practice and why misidentification is taken seriously
• Collateral damage, the fog of war, and what investigations and battle damage assessment are meant to do
• Why “trust but verify” applies to journalism and why anonymous sourcing can erode credibility
• How loaded adjectives and crisis language function as influence operations
• Ukraine, corruption, and the challenge of holding nuance without slipping into propaganda
