Aubrey is feeling snarky and you'll like the results. For one thing, Franklin Graham is ready to cancel Amy Grant. Does he get to be the gatekeeper for evangelicals?
Then, from an article at The Gospel Coalition, Brian & Aubrey talk about how rotten fruit is not gospel fruit. The things that shape the gospel aren’t necessarily the most sexy, and growth strategy is not the same as shepherding. And lastly, during Grinds my Gears: Aubrey has a truly unbelievable story about GrubHub.

That moment your life flashes before your eyes… as experienced by passengers on a Hawaiian Airlines flight. Then, Brian and Aubrey debate the difference between happiness and joy. And later, someone on Twitter is pointing out how President Biden’s view of marriage has changed so drastically in 15 years, but it begs another question: how Christians should operate in a world where cultural and political norms are constantly changing.
Finally, an article at The Gospel Coalition talks about the loneliness of young men in this generation, and prompts a discussion about how to guide screen time in the home.
