Ep 383 A Nation Divided or United?

The 2024 Presidential Election is here…

And it ‘feels’ as if our country is as divided as ever between our two candidates, former President, Donald J. Trump (R) and current Vice President, Kamala Harris (D).

Much of the news coverage and social media posts are largely ‘Anti’ one candidate over another rather than each side promoting what they stand for and why we should consider giving them our vote.

Today, four members of the Critical Bench team discuss the political climate we are living in. A huge thank you to Tim Nixon, Samantha Harrison, and David Sautter for participating.

One thing we MUST remember as our friend Dr. Frank Turek says routinely on his podcast, Cross Examined: 

‘We are not voting in one person to office. We are voting for a platform and policies. Our vote brings in an administration of 5,000 people to influence change in our country.’
 
We must also remember that both candidates are flawed, broken people and we need to look beyond their character issues, which they both have many, to see what they stand for and how will they influence law, policy, and the American way of life for the next 4 years.

Your vote matters!

 

 

"Whoever wins needs to have a diversification of thought, constituents and people voting for them.” -Tim Nixon

There's a powerful idea at the heart of Strong By Design Podcast: true strength isn't just about what you can lift. It's a holistic design, woven into your physical body, your mental resilience, and your spiritual foundation. Hosted by Team CriticalBench, this conversation explores that integrated philosophy, bringing together often-separated worlds. You'll find practical, actionable advice on lifting techniques, meal planning, and recovery strategies, all discussed alongside perspectives on faith, purpose, and personal growth. Each episode features conversations with experts, coaches, and inspiring individuals who share their knowledge on building a capable physique while also nurturing character and conviction. It’s a unique blend where a discussion on protein synthesis might naturally flow into a conversation about perseverance, all grounded in the belief that we are created for wholeness. This podcast delivers more than just workout sheets or supplement insights-though you’ll find those, too. It offers a consistent source of motivation that aims to fortify you from the inside out, encouraging you to see your fitness journey as part of a larger, meaningful design.
