Episode 54 – Flying Without Wings | Temple Barred Podcast

In this powerful social commentary podcast, hosts Jim Wynn and Philip Non take a hard look at political polarization and how left vs right politics keeps us locked in endless conflict. The conversation begins with the shocking news of right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk being shot and killed—an event that instantly sparked bitter tribal disagreements between left and right online. From outrage to celebration, the extreme reactions reveal how deeply tribalism in politics has taken root, reducing complex human lives to little more than symbols for one side or the other.

But Flying Without Wings isn’t just about political tribalism. This Temple Barred Podcast episode expands into synchronicities, personal stories, and the strange symbols life presents us if we’re willing to notice them. Jim and Philip challenge listeners to see people as individuals, not just categories, and to search for balance beyond political extremes.

If you’re looking for a podcast on why politics divides us, or one that blends sharp social commentary with reflections on synchronicity, humanity, and how to overcome political division, this episode offers raw honesty, humor, and a call for unity in a divided age.
