In this episode, we explore what it means to live as exiles in modern culture, resisting the seduction of political loyalty while speaking truth to power with the humility, love, and boldness of Christ.

What does the Bible really say about heaven? How has the hope and promise of eternity ignited faith, sparked movements, and reshaped history? 

Atheists often accuse Christians of wasting their lives in anticipation of the afterlife, but the guys dive in to how, on the contrary, it has fueled faith, inspired movements, and shaped the course of history.

After the podcast's release two weeks ago, there was much more to discuss, so the guys discuss heaven in part two of this faith-stretching conversation!

Listen to the first part of this conversation by clicking here.

Instagrammer Kareem Rahma of "SubwayTakes" recently posted a reel of him talking with a guy who expresses that going to heaven would suck.

Is there some truth in this misconception? Is heaven really going to be an eternal church service? If it's simply the best version of everything here on earth, wouldn't that eventually become a prison?

The regulars weigh in on this contentious, complicated subject, recognizing that to grasp ideas of heaven is often like two-dimensional beings trying to grasp third-dimensional realities.

Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Facebook/Meta, recently went on the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, to discuss his company's policy changes concerning freedom of speech and expression on their social media platforms.

Amid Zuckerberg's admissions of deliberate pressure and interference from the Biden administration, especially regarding COVID-19, the regulars weigh in on the value of freedom of speech. What are its origins? Is it a biblical right? What do we make of our ability to speak in the first place?

Proverbs 22:6 instructs us to, "Train up a child in the way he should go..."
and goes on to say that, "even when he is old he will not depart from it."

What about when those closest to us walk away from God? Was it our responsibility to prevent it? 

How does this apply, when all around us we see the kids of pastors, missionaries, and Christians in general, departing from the faith they were raised in? Is there a Biblical formula that we all seem to be missing?

The four regulars share their experience of raising kids, and the delicate balance one might aim to strike of not forcing religious views upon them, but also not letting them simply roam free without spiritual direction.
