Advent has always been messy, whether we've realized it or not. Herod was on the throne. Life be lifing for Mary and Joseph.  Jesus was born into a world searching for hope, not unlike the moment we are in. That night was many things: exhausting, scary, surprising, painful, anything but silent. God met the world right where it was at then, and he can meet us in this moment, too. Join Markus Lloyd and Antwuan Malone for a conversation about Advent.

Is love powerful enough for our times? Markus and Antwuan wrestle with a tough question: Do Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s nonviolent principles still work in today’s cutthroat political climate? Or has the game changed so much that power plays and “fighting fire with fire” are the only options left?

From gerrymandering in Texas to global examples of resistance, they dig deep into whether Jesus’s call to love your enemies is practical wisdom for society, or just idealistic words for Sunday school. Along the way, they challenge the tension between effectiveness and faithfulness: Does the end ever justify the means? And if love looks like losing, are Christians still called to choose it?

It’s a conversation about trust, witness, and what it means to follow Jesus when the stakes are high.

Is money really the root of all evil? 

In this thought-provoking conversation, Malcolm Foley, author of Anti-Greed Gospel, challenges us to rethink our relationship with wealth through the lens of Jesus' teachings. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus makes it plain: "You cannot serve two masters." Yet, wealth is often the ultimate measure of success in American culture. 

Join Markus, Antwuan, and Malcolm as they dive into the uncomfortable but necessary conversation about greed, racism, the church, and what it truly means to follow Christ in a society obsessed with wealth.
