What a pleasure it is to present the one and only Jeremiah James Korfe. Jeremiah is an emerging artist from central Minnesota. With over 15K facebook fans his momentum is just getting started!

Jeremiah spent 6 years in LA writing for artists which led to spending 2 years on the Action Sports Tour, X Games, & Dew Tour. His band, From Joyce, opened for many rock acts and his music has been played on multiple shows such as MTV's The Hills, and Discovery's LA INK.

When approached with the chance to be a part of CMT's hit series Sweet Home Alabama, he jumped at it and became the season 3 winner which led to the debut of his first country music video on CMT. It charted in the top 10 for 5 weeks and held at #6 for 2 full weeks!

He recently finished his 6 song EP. 2 tracks being done with the complete backing band of Big-n-Rich and 2 others recorded in the Jay Demarcus (Rascal Flatts) studio. He produced and wrote all the songs.

Our next guest, Michael Phillips is a scholar of American race relations, right-wing politics and apocalyptic religions.  

A former journalist, Phillips worked at various newspapers in North Texas in the 1980s, He received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 2002.  His dissertation on racial politics in Dallas was named the best at the 50,000+ student campus that year.Since 2007 he has taught history at Collin College and is the author of numerous books, 
 
Phillips has been intrigued by a type of religious belief called dispensationalism – the idea that the Christian Bible is a divinely inspired book of prophecy filled with yet unfulfilled predictions of a future, a demonic anti-Christ who will one day rule the entire Earth and will cause a catastrophic world war.  This idea is at the heart of the bestselling Left Behind Series novels.
