In this episode, we spoke with Katelyn Beaty, author of the book Celebrities for Jesus. We discussed fame, platform and celebrity—the dangers and how to think rightly of unhealthy leadership. Beaty offers a way of thinking where Christians give a wide berth towards power and try to steward what they have instead of seeking celebrity status.

In a world filled with paradoxes, two knowable truths that seem to be in contradiction to one another, how can Christians reconcile those places of tension? We are joined by author Jen Pollock Michael to talk about her book Surprised by Paradox and how wrestling with life's paradoxes can enable us to love others better as well as increase our trust and dependence on God.
