Pastor Conrad Maynard

In this episode of The Garrison House Podcast, the hosts bring practical wisdom and straight talk to two worlds that often collide — everyday life management and the chaos of modern culture.

The first half of the episode focuses on “Know Your Benefits”, an empowering segment that helps listeners understand the difference between PPOs, HMOs, HSAs, and EPOs — all explained in plain language. As open enrollment season approaches, the discussion breaks down how insurance deductibles, co-insurance, and employer matches really work, emphasizing the importance of reading your plan and calling your provider directly before making costly decisions.
Listeners are encouraged to stay informed, stay polite with customer service reps, and never leave their benefits unused. It’s practical, relatable advice for every household.

The second half — “In the Age of Outrage” — shifts gears to culture and commentary. From online debates surrounding Stephen A. Smith and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, to the broader divisions in politics and media, the hosts unpack how outrage has become a form of entertainment — and how it clouds meaningful dialogue. They reflect on faith, respect, and independent thinking, pointing out how many people have traded thoughtful discourse for groupthink and emotional reactions.

It’s part financial literacy, part social commentary, and all truth — a balanced episode that reminds us how to take charge of what’s ours, both materially and mentally, in an age where outrage often speaks louder than reason.

In Episode 240, we unpack the crossroads of politics, justice, and morality. The Michigan governor’s race between James and Gilchrist sets the stage for a larger national conversation about leadership, respect, and unity. From classrooms to police precincts to the Oval Office, we ask — what happened to honor?

Then, we turn to the reality facing Black men in America, analyzing the media’s reaction to the Diddy verdict and exploring how perception shapes punishment. Our hosts dive into whether modern sentencing should be more about teaching than tormenting — just like correcting a child, not condemning one.

And finally, in “Weird Laws,” we explore one of the strangest holdovers in American legal history — Alienation of Affection — proving that truth really is stranger than fiction.

It’s an episode that challenges, enlightens, and brings perspective to the cultural chaos of our times.
