  Caleb and Luke Anderson: When Faith Becomes Your Own

  Aug 27, 202659 min

  In this episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik sits down with brothers Caleb and Luke Anderson, ages 21 and 19, for a candid conversation about faith, culture, technology, and what it means to be a young Christian in today’s world. Caleb and Luke describe the point when faith became more than something inherited from their parents and began to develop into personal conviction. They discuss what being “worldly” means from their perspective—not simply being part of modern society, but adopting a mindset centered on immediate gratification rather than biblical values and long-term consequences. The conversation turns to one of the greatest challenges facing their generation: technology. Social media provides endless stimulation and instant satisfaction, but can it also weaken patience, concentration, meaningful relationships, and the discipline needed for serious Bible study? Victor, Caleb, and Luke also explore the relationship between young people and the church. How can congregations and ministers build stronger connections with the next generation? Caleb and Luke emphasize personal mentorship, sermons that address issues young people actually face, and meaningful opportunities for youth to serve and contribute. The brothers also offer reasons for optimism. A generation accustomed to questioning what it sees may be better prepared to recognize misinformation and AI-generated deception. Finally, Caleb and Luke share practical advice for younger teenagers: choose your friends carefully, build relationships with people you can trust, and make decisions today with an eye toward where they may lead ten years from now. It’s a thoughtful look at faith through the eyes of two young Christians navigating a rapidly changing world.

  Ben Franklin Part 2: An Appeal to God at the Constitutional Convention

  Aug 20, 202633 min

  In this episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik continues his conversation with Greg Thomas about Benjamin Franklin, exploring the remarkable final chapter of Franklin’s life—his influence on the Constitution, his inventions, his opposition to slavery, and his complex religious beliefs. At age 81, Franklin was the elder statesman of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. As delegates struggled to overcome deep divisions, Franklin reminded them of the limits of human wisdom and made a striking appeal for daily prayer. He asked how an empire could rise without God's aid if even a sparrow could not fall without His notice. Yet surprisingly, his motion was never brought to a vote. The discussion also examines Franklin’s extraordinary inventive mind. From bifocals and the lightning rod to the Franklin stove, glass harmonica, flexible catheter, carriage odometer, and even wooden swim fins, Franklin continually searched for practical ways to improve everyday life. He refused to patent his inventions, believing they should benefit everyone. Greg and Victor also explore a less understood side of Franklin: his religious philosophy. Franklin believed in a God who intervened in human affairs and heard prayer, while questioning traditional Christian doctrines concerning Jesus Christ. He nevertheless deeply respected Jesus' moral teachings and believed religion was essential to maintaining a virtuous society. Finally, the episode examines Franklin's late-life commitment to abolition. Shortly before his death in 1790, he petitioned Congress to bring an end to slavery—one final example of a remarkable man whose ideas continued evolving throughout his long life.

  With Greg Thomas: Benjamin Franklin part 1: Leadership, Diplomacy and a Nation in the Making

  Aug 13, 202628 min

  In this episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik welcomes Greg Thomas back for the latest installment in their series commemorating America’s 250th anniversary by examining the lives, character, and leadership qualities of the nation’s Founding Fathers. This episode turns to Benjamin Franklin—printer, inventor, writer, statesman, and one of the most remarkable diplomats of the Revolutionary era. Victor and Greg explore Franklin’s years in Great Britain, where he represented Pennsylvania and other American colonies and worked tirelessly to preserve the relationship between Britain and its increasingly restless colonies. His efforts reveal important lessons about diplomacy, patience, persuasion, and the challenge of finding common ground when political divisions deepen. The conversation also highlights just how different Franklin’s world was from ours. His first stay in England lasted an astonishing ten years, reminding us of the enormous distances and travel limitations confronting leaders of the 18th century. Beyond Franklin’s public accomplishments, Victor and Greg consider the importance of personal and spiritual growth. Just as Franklin continued learning throughout his life, we too should be willing to grow in “grace and knowledge,” honestly examining our understanding and allowing experience, maturity, and Scripture to refine our thinking. It’s another fascinating look at leadership through the life of one of America’s most extraordinary founders.

  Robin, Darris, Vic: What 150 Years of Ministry Taught Us

  Aug 6, 202656 min

  Veteran pastors hold candid conversation about their ministry and what they learned in 50 years. What are the most important lessons that can only be learned after decades of serving people? In this episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik is joined by Darris McNeely and Robin Webber for an honest conversation about the realities of ministry, leadership, and spiritual growth. Together they reflect on more than 150 years of combined pastoral experience, sharing the insights they wish they had understood much earlier in life. The discussion explores the difference between youthful confidence and seasoned wisdom. The three recount how they entered the ministry believing sermons alone could change lives, only to discover that genuine pastoral care begins with listening, compassion, and authentic relationships. They explain why presence often speaks louder than words—whether during hospital visits, family tragedies, funerals, or late-night emergency calls. A major focus is the church's growing understanding of grace. Victor discusses the development of the booklet What the Bible Teaches About Grace and explains how the biblical concept reaches far beyond forgiveness to encompass God's continual goodness, generosity, and blessings. The conversation also reflects on how difficult experiences, including the events surrounding 1995, became opportunities for greater spiritual maturity and a more Christ-centered approach to teaching. Practical advice rounds out the discussion, including lessons on conducting meaningful funerals, responding to crises, and learning to seek understanding before offering answers. Whether you serve in ministry, lead others, or simply desire greater wisdom in caring for people, this conversation offers timeless principles learned through decades of experience, mistakes, and God's enduring grace.

  Freedom Begins Within: A Conversation with Gary W. Johnson

  Aug 3, 202655 min

  What does true freedom really mean? Is it simply the absence of prison walls, or is it something much deeper? In this thought-provoking episode of The Kubik Report, Victor Kubik welcomes author Gary W. Johnson to discuss his remarkable book, Finding the Fundamentals: The Seven Keys That Freed Me From My Prison—and Can Free You From Yours. Johnson shares the extraordinary story of his journey from serving a long-term sentence in a maximum-security prison to becoming an author, mentor, and advocate for personal transformation. Rather than promising quick fixes, Johnson explains that lasting change comes through daily choices built upon timeless principles. Together, he and Victor explore the importance of accepting personal responsibility, rejecting today's culture of blame, and developing the character necessary for genuine freedom. The conversation also examines the destructive power of anger, the healing found in forgiveness, and why internal character matters far more than external success or polished skills. Johnson reflects on the mentors who helped reshape his life, while Victor shares insights from more than fifty years in the ministry, observing that meaningful change begins only when people take ownership of their lives. Johnson also discusses the influence of Herbert W. Armstrong's The Seven Laws of Success, prompting Victor to recall how those same principles inspired people in post-Soviet Ukraine seeking hope and direction. The episode opens with a personal update from Victor about his family's evacuation during the Spokane wildfires and his recovery from cataract surgery. It concludes with a powerful reflection on the meaning of freedom, discipline, consistency, and the possibility of redemption for every person. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Finding the Fundamentals is available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NRG924D _________________________________________________________________________________________ Contact Information: Garry W.
