Govt. Overreach In Rural Communities With Chris Bennett
Chris Bennett returns to the podcast. He is a writer for Farm Journal that has been on the show several times. Despite this, we have not delved into his mysterious and shrouded past. One of the things I always rely on for Chris is a cold, objective look at the way the government is interacting with its people, particularly in rural America.Today we talk about Chris' parents being missionaries in southeast Arkansas and eventually moving to Jordan of all places. We also talk about some of the big issues going on in the world today, including conflict in the Middle East, how high trust networks amongst small communities are being lost, and whether the United States is still a Christian culture.Want to get ahold of Chris?===========================Email - Cbennett@farmjournal.comPhone - (662) 592-1106===========================Connect with us! =============================IG: ➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/legacy_interviews/ ===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Vance Crowe Podcast Here: https://share.transistor.fm/s/606e0d8d===========================➡︎YT: @VanceCrowePodcast ➡︎Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/08nGGRJ... ➡︎Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... ===========================How To Work With Us: ===========================Want to do a Legacy Interview for you or a loved one?Book a Legacy Interview | https://legacyinterviews.com/ —A Legacy Interview is a two-hour recorded interview with you and a host that can be watched now and viewed in the future.
