Episode 5: Late Night Thoughts on a Broken World


Listen Later

In this late-night episode, we've taken a less formal, more off-the-cuff approach — just Britt and I in conversation, reflecting in real time quite literally in our bed. We open up about the rising tensions we’re seeing in our country — from the recent assassination surrounding Charlie Kirk, a targeted political killing seeking to silence the voice of reason, civil discourse, and political dissent. We also dive into the broader sense of division and unrest that seems to be growing louder every day.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, cynical, or even hopeless when violence dominates headlines and anger seems to fuel every debate. But in this moment of raw honesty, we return to what anchors us: our faith in Jesus Christ. We talk about how we process these events through the lens of Scripture, the importance of discernment in the noise of culture, and how we keep our hearts soft while staying grounded in truth.

This episode isn’t polished or planned — and that’s the point. It’s a real conversation about heavy things, shared in the spirit of peace, faith, and trust. Trust in each other, and most importantly, trust in the One who holds it all together.

So whether you're winding down your day or just need a reminder that you're not alone in the chaos, we invite you to listen in.

Charlie...we're grateful for your contribution to our great nation, and to furthering the message of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You carried more than your weight for your entire adult life...we're indebted to you and promise to only speak more boldly and loudly...carrying the flame that you ignited—continuing to be the salt and the light that we've been called to be.
