From the Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year (“rage bait”) to Super Bowl halftime controversy, from Ten Commandments legislation to immigration theology, from Christian influencers to monetized faith — this episode wrestles with what it means to follow Jesus in a world driven by outrage, clicks, and cultural division.
Along the way, we explore:
- Why “rage bait” may define our digital ageWhether Bad Bunny is “un-American” (and what that even means)
- The performative spirituality behind posting the Ten Commandments in schools
- A theological showdown between Speaker Mike Johnson and Rev. Dr. William Barber III
- The tension Christian influencers face when monetization collides with compassion
- Paul’s call to kenosis — self-emptying — in a culture obsessed with self-securing
At its heart, this conversation asks: Are we pursuing faithfulness… or just managing anxiety? Are we building the Kingdom… or protecting our own?
It’s thoughtful. It’s honest. It’s occasionally sarcastic.
