On this episode of the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar – a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast – with all that is going on in the world today, how do we be good parents to our children? 

There seems to be so much going on in the world today… with hate, racism, wars, poverty, climate change, and the list goes on and on. 

But with all of this, how to we continue to be good parents and raise our children in a correct way, so that will be good people? 

Is it how much we force them to pray, or should we force them to read more Quran, or maybe we just take their phones away from them forever?

While it is a good idea to unplug for a few hours a day – not Tuesdays at 8pm – we must remember that part of being a good parent is to lead by example. So, what kind of example are you setting for your children? 

The Imam also reminds us that this podcast is just the start to the conversations. While our audience – that is you – gets to pick the topic of conversation from week to week, we do hope that you continue talking about things with your family, friends, and community. It is through conversation that we get to know our neighbors better and come closer together.

On this episode of the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar – a 2017Podcast Award nominated podcast – the Imam address giving charity and the importance of it, and how it can help not only those around you, but help take care of you too.

In the shadow of Giving Tuesday; which of course follows Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday…you have spent so much of your money on items that you want – not items that you really need. And there is an importance of making a distinction here.

Most of us WANT that new TV or that new video game, but none of us NEED that new TV. We, as humans, in world that has so much disparity, need  to make clear want verses need. We WANT that that bottled water, but people in Flint NEED that bottled water. The resources that we have on this planet, as climate change because more and more evident, will become more and more scarce, and that is one reason we need to think before we spend our money.

Now – where were we? Oh yes, Giving Tuesday and charity…

Imam Azhar reflects on not only this giving Tuesday, but Ramadan time too, and he reflects on all the mail, email, WhatsApp messages, and Facebook posts that he gets from different groups and people asking for money. And he asks – when is enough, enough?

Raw Islam 69: Thanksgiving- Mission Impossible

On this episode of the Raw Islam Podcast with Imam Azhar – a 2017 Podcast Award nominated podcast – the guys talk about Thanksgiving… not just the meal, but the act of being thankful as well.

Imam Azhar asks the audience, why is so difficult to give thanks?

Many people, when they try to count their blessings, end up counting more of the bad things in their life, or the bad things that have happened to them. So why is it that we struggle to have, and give thanks?

No one has ever promised that life would be perfect, and that life would be easy. In fact, the opposite of this is true. This life was designed to be a test, not just of our faith, but of us as well.

However, regardless of this life being a test filled with struggles, Imam Azhar reminds us that it is imperative that count our blessings and be thankful for what we have – and not spend extra energy focusing on how bad life is.

He suggests that we should stop taking things like life and health for granted. Be thankful for them, because in this world you never know when either one can be taken away.

On this #DamnItCarl podcast B.C. Dodge asks – what am I doing wrong with my weight?On this #DamnItCarl podcast B.C. Dodge asks – what am I doing wrong with my weight?

In this follow up video to “Do You Know How Food is Affecting You?” B.C. dives in a little with his personal story on his struggle with weight loss; which is complicated with this holiday season.

He also touches on the idea that men have body issues too. Having body issue is not specifically for women.

B.C. has always struggled with his weight. As a teen he was a little larger than the other boys. Even in the military, right out of boot camp, he still had a little bit of a belly. He has tried to get rid of it and was doing well…but then came the holidays and all the food.

He is determined to get back to using his Instapot and back on track with his diet, he has to lose the weight again…not just for physical health, but for his mental health as well.

With all of that being said – if you have any Instapot recipes that you would like to share, that are Keto friendly, please feel free to leave them in the comments!

#DamnItCarl Podcast 19: Did They Really Take Your Freedom of Speech?

On this #DamnItCarl podcast B.C. Dodge asks – Did they really take your free speech?On this #DamnItCarl podcast B.C. Dodge asks – Did they really take your free speech?

On the heels of Laura Loomer handcuffing herself to the Twitter offices, we find that we are once again having to have the conversation of free speech verses platform usage.

While it is true that people like Laura Loomer and Alex Jones have lost their social media accounts, and we a line could be drawn as to how this might be infringing on their free speech, we have to keep in mind that place like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Discord, are all private companies; and thus, can do whatever they want.

On the hand, as someone that works with social media and digital marketing, it does raise some red flags for B.C., as someday he could wakeup and everything that he has done could be gone…but, once again, they are private companies; and thus, can do whatever they want.

If you post hate speech – and this goes for people on the left and the right – and your account is removed because you violated the terms of service. You don’t get to complain. You don’t get to play the “what about them” game.

Your first amendment rights have not been infringed upon, you still have the right to open your own website and post your own videos or podcasts. You just can’t use their website. No one is stopping you from saying whatever you want to say, you just can’t say it there.

Raw Islam 68: What Does It Take To Be a True Patriot?

As this episode opens B.C. Dodge proudly introduces the Raw Islam audience to the now famous Trumpy Bear…and yes this is a real thing.

Thankfully Imam Azhar quickly turns around the conversation, by issuing a dua for those that are affected by the California wild fires, which are the worst fire that the area has seen in many many years.

The Imam goes on to thank those that served in the United States Armed Forces, especially those that severed in World War II – that is because this episode fell on the Tuesday after Veteran’s Day and Armistice Day.

Imam Azhar does what he does best by bring the conversation home – by asking if owning this bear or wearing a red hat makes one a true patriot, or does caring about the people next to you make you a true patriot?

It is America’s love for its people that makes America great, and makes someone a patriot. Not what bears they own or hat they wear.
