Arkansas Problems, American Consequences! What happens in Arkansas doesn’t always stay in Arkansas! Many of the challenges facing our state reflect much bigger problems threatening communities across America.
In this hard-hitting episode, Larry welcomes Hunter Sadler, candidate for Arkansas State Representative in District 75, for a candid conversation about the issues affecting our families, finances, freedoms, and future.
Nothing is off the table!
From Medicaid and artificial intelligence to the explosive growth of data centers, property taxes, and Arkansas’s LEARNS Act, Larry and Hunter tackle some of today’s most important and controversial issues.
At just 33 years old, Hunter brings a fresh perspective and a commitment to public service. Having served both our country and Arkansas, he believes that service doesn’t stop when the uniform comes off!
Together, they explore the rising cost of homeownership, burdensome government regulations, tax relief, and the decisions elected officials are making that could affect generations to come.
Are politicians addressing the real problems? Is the American dream becoming increasingly difficult to achieve? And what can ordinary citizens do to make their voices heard?
This isn’t just an Arkansas conversation. It’s an American conversation!
Whether you’re from Arkansas or anywhere across this great nation, this is an episode worth watching.
Real issues. Tough questions. Straight answers.
Watch, share your thoughts in the comments, and help us keep these important conversations going!

Corruption in the Library: What Are They Hiding?
What’s really happening inside America’s public libraries, and who is holding those in charge accountable?
Our special guest, Keith Kellum, joins Larry for an eye-opening discussion about allegations of corruption, questionable spending, political agendas, and the growing concerns surrounding our public library systems.
We begin by examining troubling issues and concerns raised in Saline County, Arkansas, but the questions surrounding library oversight, financial accountability, and the influence of political ideology extend far beyond our local community. Similar debates are taking place in communities across America.
Are taxpayer dollars being responsibly managed? Are excessive spending, inflated salaries, waste, and potential abuses of public funds going unchecked? And perhaps most importantly, are our public libraries becoming battlegrounds for political and ideological influence over our children?
Larry and Keith tackle these controversial questions head-on, challenging parents, grandparents, Christians, pastors, churches, elected officials, and concerned citizens to get involved, ask difficult questions, and demand transparency and accountability.
Our children deserve protection. Taxpayers deserve accountability. And public officials must answer to the people they serve!
This isn’t simply a discussion about books on library shelves. It’s about parental rights, government accountability, the responsible use of taxpayer dollars, and the future direction of our communities and our nation.
How much do you really know about what’s happening inside your local library? You may be surprised by what you discover!
This is one episode you won’t want to miss. The issues are too important, the questions too serious, and the stakes too high to simply look the other way.
Watch, listen, share, and decide for yourself. America needs informed citizens who are willing to ask questions and demand answers! Larry’sRRR

Our regular contributor Sabrina McDonald is back—and once again, she’s answering tough questions, sharing her wisdom, and digging deep into her knowledge of the Bible. In this episode, Larry will ask a few questions, but for the most part, he’s going to try to stay out of Sabrina’s way and, as his grandson James likes to say, “Let her cook!” Has the Bible been rewritten? Has Scripture been changed, altered, or manipulated over the centuries? Can we trust that the Bible we read today accurately reflects the original writings? People change their minds—but does God? Why do Bible skeptics sometimes build their arguments around half-truths or incomplete information? Did the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls help confirm the reliability of Scripture, or did it create even more controversy? And what about the so-called “lost” or “extra” books of the Bible? Were books deliberately removed or excluded—and if so, why? Larry and Sabrina tackle these questions and many more as they examine one of the most important questions a Christian—or a skeptic—can ask: Can we trust that the Bible we have today is the Word of God that was originally given? Whether you’re a lifelong believer, someone struggling with questions, or a skeptic who doubts the reliability of Scripture, this promises to be a full-throttle conversation that will make you think. Bring your questions. Bring your doubts. Bring an open mind. Has the Bible been rewritten? Let’s find out. Larry’sRRR #Bible #DeadSeaScrolls #biblepodcast #BibleHistory #christianpodcast

Be Positive: Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life
Your attitude affects how you see your problems, how you respond to adversity, how you treat the people around you—and ultimately, the direction of your life.
In this episode, Larry explores the power of developing a positive attitude. Being positive doesn’t mean ignoring reality, pretending problems don’t exist, or believing life will always be easy. It means learning to face life’s challenges with faith, wisdom, confidence, and the determination to keep moving forward.
Drawing from Scripture and lessons learned through years of business and life experience, Larry breaks the process down into six practical principles.
What are you allowing into your mind? Who are you surrounding yourself with? What kind of words are you speaking? And when adversity hits, are you looking for an excuse to quit—or an opportunity to grow?
You may not be able to control everything happening around you, but you can work on how you respond to it.
Change your attitude, and you’ll change your life! Larry’sRRR

It’s easy for work to take over and consume your life. In fact, this may be one of the most important episodes I’ve published yet—and I’m serious!
As a small business owner who has started several companies, I know firsthand how easy it is to fall into the trap of believing that working harder, longer, and doing everything yourself is the price you have to pay for success.
I’ve lived it. In the short term, that workaholic lifestyle can produce results. You work more hours, push harder, make sacrifices, and watch the business grow. But long term, it can become a prescription for disaster—leading to burnout, damaged relationships, declining health, and even stalled business growth.
Yes, success requires sacrifice. There are seasons when we have to work harder, stay later, and pay the price to accomplish our goals. But there also comes a point when we have to ask ourselves: What is all this success costing me?
Work should be an important part of your life—but it shouldn’t become your entire life.
We need to recognize the benefits of creating a healthier balance between our work, family, relationships, health, faith, and personal lives. Because if we don’t take control of our lifestyle, eventually a personal crisis may change our lifestyle for us.
In this episode, I share three practical steps that can help you regain control, reset your priorities, and bring some much-needed balance back into your life.
Are you controlling your schedule—or is your schedule controlling you?
Let’s find out. Balance Your Life. Larry’sRRR
