Easter has such a deeper meaning for me this year. It’s been a slow roll but I really came back to my faith over the past 2 years.

Long story short, I was in one heck of a dark place for quite some time, even though my life looked great on the outside. Nothing could satisfy my soul and nothing brought me peace or hope.

I found it in my dude Jesus. Wasn’t a quick fix but man, over time so much changed. I know He’s real because He changed a man like me. I threw off religion and made it a relationship instead. Game changer

It’s Easter Sunday. He was tortured and murdered on a cross BUT He came back to life and made a way out for all of us. Absolutely epic!

GREATEST COMEBACK IN HISTORY BABY! 🙌🏽

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He is RISEN!” Luke 24:5-6

*Straight up… I’m not the poster child of being a believer in Jesus nor do I live a perfect life. I still struggle & fail like everyone does but I’ll tell you what, def found true love

Happy Hump Day beautiful people! Episode 175 is up with What truly remains in the heart of a first responder after seeing and experiencing all they have done? Join us as our special guest, Anthony Hernandez, a veteran firefighter who unveils the raw truths of a life dedicated to emergency services. From the front lines of wildland blazes to the intense demands of municipal firefighting, Anthony’s career is a mosaic of courage, growth, and the relentless pursuit of balance amidst the smoldering challenges of the job.

The weight of the badge carries more than just responsibility—it bears the heavy toll of mental health, a topic often overshadowed by the the stigma of being weak. Anthony’s candid account extends into his transformative journey with Frontline Behavioral Wellness, where his personal experiences with PTSD and alcoholism illuminate the path for aiding veterans and first responders. As we share stories of camaraderie and the fortitude found in peer support, we’re reminded that the mission of saving others transcends beyond the emergencies—it’s also about safeguarding the minds and hearts of those who serve.

In the echoes of the firetruck’s departure, we discover tales of faith, family, and friendships that bind and heal. Anthony and Tim explore the nuanced dance between personal trauma and professional valor, where the strength of relationships and the power of faith carve a refuge from the chaos. Every shared experience, from the serenity of silence to the laughter with a friend, manifests as a beacon of hope, guiding us toward a future where first responders can embrace vulnerability as courageously as they face their jobs.

Happy Hump Day beautiful people! Episode 157 is up with Jobob is a contributor for (TPUSA) after working for almost a decade as a political consultant and communications director for various political campaigns around the country. In 2021, he decided to come out from behind the scenes of the political consulting world and landed a spot as the host of Live w/ Jobob on the Daily Caller platforms. His deadpan and often sarcastic take on the news of the day is an attempt to bring some levity and humor to an otherwise dismal news cycle. As a TPUSA contributor, his goal is to help bring a widely missing comedic element to the conservative movement that he hopes can attract Americans who fall into his favorite cultural category; conservatives who just don’t know they’re conservatives yet.
A California native you’ll likely hear words like "dude", "stoked" and "totally" more from him than any other commentator out there. And on most days, he’ll push the boundaries of ‘business casual attire.’ In addition to "making jokes about the news", he enjoys spending time with his wife, Crystal, playing music, performing stand-up comedy, and attempting to be a less horrible golfer.
