Welcome to The GroundUp Podcast Blog
INTRODUCTION AND INTENTIONS
Welcome to The GroundUp Podcast Blog with T.C. Rodgers, where we reclaim our rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, one day at a time, starting from the Ground Up.
The concept for this blog has been slowly developing in my mind for about three years now. After contemplating a variety of ideas for topics to discuss and write about for these podcasts and articles, spending many late nights involved in research, I found that my greatest obstacle in this endeavor was fear. I began to procrastinate and avoid the actual publication and production processes. I experienced fear of failure as well as fear of success. Fear of public scrutiny and loss of privacy. Fear of losing friends that disagree with my way of thinking and simultaneously having a shyness toward making friends that are like-minded. These ridiculous fears stacked up and weighed on me like an unbearable load until I finally broke under the weight. I finally realized that I absolutely had to do this. I would never be happy with myself unless I expressed my point of view and developed a community atmosphere with people that yearned, as I do, to find some Truth in this world and to learn how to make life better by becoming as self reliant as possible. It is my belief that most of us encounter a similar form of fear on some level in our own unique ways. It is also my belief that obstacles and fears are meant to be overcome by brave people.
Nonetheless, this blog/podcast is by no means intended to be a mere expression of my own personal experience in life. Rather, it is designed to grow into a community of people that share a common goal, which is to overcome the many diverse obstacles that we face in the modern world and to live a lifestyle that is conducive to healthy individual and social growth patterns. Physical, emotional, and spiritual growth are at the epicenter of our concerns here.Although modern life may have compelled us to feel defeated and completely "ground up", we do have the opportunity to start over and become the people that we have always wanted to be, starting from the Ground Up.
At this point, you are probably wondering exactly what subject matters will be explored here. Admittedly, I have been somewhat vague up to this point. After all, I had considered the option of bypassing this introductory statement and diving headlong into the production and publication processes. Obviously, I have decided against doing that. In all fairness, I feel that you deserve a fair "warning". (laughs)
The topics explored here will be broadly varied, ranging from the spiritual to the mundane, and from the physical to the philosophical. Examples are (yet not limited to); self education vs. schooling, geopolitics, the worldwide resistance movement, preparedness, alternative health care, organic gardening and individual food production skills, fitness, nutrition and supplementation, developing skill sets and do-it -yourself instructions, homesteading, modern survival methodology, current events, Libertarian philosophies, prophetic research, and Christian principles and practices (as a faith, not as an organized religion), and possibly much more.
Also, you will notice that a separate section of the podcast will be devoted to audiobooks. The first and foremost audiobook podcast will be of The King James Version of The Holy Bible in approximately 30 minute segments, from beginning to end. Other audiobooks that I would like to publish are; the Book of Enoch, the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, Civil Disobedience, Walden Pond, and possibly even my first novel, (if I get up the nerve).
I would be pleased to hear from you, especially if you have any contributory ideas, information, comments, or questions. Perhaps you know of an expert in a certain field of interest that could enlighten us all, if so, request an interview and please supply their contact information. I can be reached at groundup.podcast@gmail.com .
Thank you for taking the time to read/listen to the introductory episode of The Groundup Podcast ! May God Bless You, and until next time,
Farewell My Friends
