We discuss among other things going to college in Hawai'i. Join our conversation today with our very special guest (are there ever non-special guests ?) Dr. Shannon Holzer of Houston Baptist University. We discuss going to college in Hawai'i, grade inflation v. academic excellence, and some favorite professors. We also talk about our students. We discuss recent students versus the way students were ten years ago, grade inflation (did I mention we talk about grade inflation?), going to school in Hawai'i, what he was like as a student and a veteran of the US Marine Corps versus what more recent student trends look like, incentive structures in Higher Education and K-12, and seminary training in preparation for Ph.D. work in Constitutional Law and Philosophy. Guest bio: Professor Shannon Holzer, Ph.D. served for several years in the United States Marine Corps before going to college. Dr. Holzer has earned degrees in the areas of religion, philosophy, and politics/Constitutional Law. He earned his undergraduate degree at a small Baptist college in Hawai'i called Wayland Baptist University on the island O'ahu where he majored in Religion with a special focus on Biblical Studies. During college, Professor Holzer developed an interest in the discipline of Philosophy, and so he moved to California to earn an M.A. in Philosophy from Biola University's graduate program there, where he focused on Philosophy of Religion and Ethics at Talbot School of Theology in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Sensing a need for further training in the application of his training to areas of Constitutional Law and Politics, Dr. Holzer then moved to Texas in order to earn a Ph.D. in Religion, Politics, and Society at the world-famous J.M. Dawson Institute for Church-State Studies at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He had met the rigorous standards of multiple philosophers on his dissertation committee in which he focused specifically on philosophical (epistemological) issues in First Amendment jurisprudence and its impact on society. Shannon has a commitment to service and academic excellence which he models faithfully for his students. In addition to having served as a pastor in Hawai'i and his military service, Dr. Holzer has served in K-12 education as a public school teacher and sports coach in Los Angeles County and has taught in the community colleges and universities for many years, accumulating a rich set of experiences. He draws from this deep well of service with compassion, humility, and faithful commitment to academic excellence. Professors mentioned include Dr. Dallas Willard of USC Philosophy Department, Dr. Craig Blomberg, Dr. JP Moreland, Dr. William Lane Craig, Dr. David Ciocchi of Biola, Dr. R. Douglas Geivett of Biola, Francis Beckwith of Baylor, and Dr. David Howle of Wayland Baptist University Hawai'i, and my (Dr. Mather's) WBU Government professor on Marine Corps Station Kaneohe whose name I have forgotten. Schools mentioned include Wayland Baptist University on O'ahu, Hawai'i, Denver Seminary, Baylor University, Biola University, International College and Graduate School (Nu'uanu) off the Pali Hwy on O'ahu (upstairs from International Baptist Church) and Glendale High School (California). Churches mentioned in this episode include Hope Chapel Kaneohe and International Baptist Church just off the Pali Highway, leeward side, in the Nu'uanu valley in the Honolulu metropolitan area (Lucas' church at the time). Military bases mentioned include Hickam AFB, Marine Corps Station Kaneohe, Schofield Barracks, and Wheeler Army Airfield. Films mentioned include "From Here to Eternity."

As we continue to explore the reality of prayer as worship, we move into the "Lord's Prayer" in Matthew chapter 6. What is to some a forgotten ritual, and to others a religious mantra, is actually a powerful representation of God's desire for our prayer life. When given proper consideration, it may very well reshape your view of prayer all together.

Jeff sits down with Gregory Ozuna of Wayland Baptist University. He hit a walk-off Home Run that created some controversy.

He reached out to Jeff after some negative feedback and they struck up a great friendship. Gregory is about to embark on summer ball in Indiana hoping to follow his dream of playing pro baseball. If sheer joy and love were criteria, he would be bound for the Hall Of Fame. I know if one former big leaguer who is going to help in anyway he can.

Author Kevin Miller's new book "White Skies, Black Mingo" is set in the 1800s, as a young Native American girl from the Ohio Seneca tribe flees an epidemic with her mother and grandmother and after being orphaned, ends up in the darkest hours of the Civil War. The book is a fascinating read based on author Kevin D. Miller's family history, and he joins us as a special guest on this edition of the Big Time Talker Podcast, powered by Speakermatch.com. Kevin is a veteran of the United States Air Force. He worked as a Ground Navigational Aids Technician and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronics Technology from Wayland Baptist University. Kevin’s inspiration for becoming an author is the moment he learned of a dark family tragedy in his family’s history. His grandfather changed the family name in 1920 to cover this terrible truth and took the secret to his grave. Kevin wrote Heart of Steel: Based on a True Story to honor his grandfather and share this story of inspiration and triumph. The book became a #1 Best Seller on Amazon in November of 2019 and is in the process of becoming a feature film. White Skies Black Mingo, is Historical Fiction inspired by the love of his great-great-grandparents. Margaret Davis, was from Mingo Country West Virginia and was a proud member of the Haudenosaunee Nation. His great-great-grandfather, Charles Flagg, Sr., was a veteran of the Civil War and served in the 63rd Infantry Regiment of Pennsylvania in the Union Army. Their love was the inspiration for the tale set in the darkest period of American history, the Civil War. Kevin lives in Southern California with his wife and daughters, who are pursuing careers in acting while they attend school. Kevin and his wife, Annette, are parents of a blended family of nine children and twenty-one grandchildren.
