Episode Sixteen: The Man Near the Moon

In this episode, Dennis uses his ADHD/Aspergers brain and takes on a potpourri of issues such as President Biden's speech to Congress, the role of the state and the center-right, Sen. Tim Scott's response and the United States as a racist nation, America becoming a post-religious nation and the fate of the mainline Protestant church. He caps things off with a tribute to the "forgotten astronaut" of Apollo 11, Michael Collins.

Spheres of Influence is a podcast about those common spheres in our lives, religion, politics, and culture discussed from unique viewpoints. If you're looking for commentary and discussion that is slightly askew, this is your podcast.

Dennis Sanders is an ordained minister, so talks about religion. He's moved in center-right circles for two decades, and he likes to talk about politics. In our modern age, it's hard to find spaces where you can talk about these topics and where they might intersect without it becoming a shouting match. Religion, politics, family are all spheres of life. Each is different and its own unique sphere. Dennis wants to talk about these issues giving you the listener space to question and converse. You're invited to listen and engage.
