Cooler temps have Jase missing Phil and imagining exactly what he’d be saying about all the missed weather reports. Jase points out how people have always craved the same three things—sex, money, and power. Al and Zach connect the dots from the ancient kings of Israel to the modern world’s obsession with the same idols. The guys dive into how Jesus turned the entire system upside down, conquering not through wealth or force but through sacrifice, proving that real power comes from surrender, not control.
