In this week’s episode, we pause from our usual rhythm and spend time reflecting on the events of the past couple of weeks following the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Together, we share how this moment has shaped us personally and spiritually, and why Dr. Ben Carson’s words at Charlie’s memorial - reminding us that a seed must die in order to grow - continue to resonate deeply. 

From there, we talk honestly about the challenges Christians face when division, cynicism, and negativity take root. Brad recalls a phrase spoken years ago by a friend regarding division within the body of Christ: when people stop believing the best about each other, things always start to break down. As followers of Christ, now more than ever, we’re called to encourage one another, to see the good in each other, and to tend to the plank in our own eyes before pointing out the speck in our brother’s. 

This is a conversation about unity, hope, and the choice to build each other up in a time when the world desperately needs it.
