Open Nazi rhetoric is gaining traction on the right, and the response from conservative institutions has been inconsistent at best. Skye and David trace the roots of the problem, the incentives that fueled it, and the late-breaking backlash that may signal a tipping point. They also look at ICE's increasingly aggressive "Kavanaugh stops," the risks of expanding executive power, and why election integrity could be threatened when extremism and state authority begin to reinforce each other.

Skye and Kaitlyn talk Liberalism, a political philosophy that's shaped our world—but the word has become totally conflated with whatever is considered "left-wing." What is liberalism, why was it instrumental in constructing the American Experiment, and why does Skye seem so much more positive about it than Kaitlyn is?

Jordan Raynor joins Skye to talk about Christians throughout history who demonstrate how faith and work go together, from TV star Fred Rogers to the inventor of the Lego brick to Civil Rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer. What can these people teach us about how our faith plays out outside of ministry positions?

Drew's Newsletter is launching soon! To celebrate, he's brought his smorgasbord of news. Bond's gun is missing in action from Amazon Prime posters—is this doing any good? There's a slow exodus of older church-goers from the church—is the solution to this problem right in front of us? Why's there such a dip in young people identifying as trans? And has ministry just become content creation to a smaller and smaller audience?

Skye talks with his friend, Pastor David Swanson, about his confrontation with Border Patrol agents at an ICE protest in Chicago. What's really happening with "Operation Midway Blitz," what should churches and Christians do when the government is actively violating the rights of its citizens, and is the Trump Administration deliberately trying to provoke a wider conflict?

Hypocrites! No one wants to be seen as one. While most people claim to hate hypocrisy, does our hatred of hypocrisy take our attention from more bald-faced sin? And could a certain kind of hypocrisy be a stepping stone away from other sins and toward virtue? Skye dives into hypocrisy and gives the antidotes for twin errors that hypocrisy creates.

Holy Post Media is no stranger to accusations of both-sidesism. Skye and Kaitlyn talk about why they believe pointing out problems on both sides isn't simple equivocation or conflict-avoidance, but instead a responsibility—and maybe even a way to avoid idolatry.

Skye and Drew open this edition of Drew's News by reflecting on Charlie Kirk's assassination and the string of recent political violence. Is this analogous to the 1960's—or the 1910's? But there's other stuff on their minds—midlife faith crises, declining grades in plublic schools, and—"Jesus glow-ups" on Tiktok? Skye and Drew look at all of this news and try to make sense of it all.

Most people think improv is about being quick and funny, but what if it's really about learning to listen, let go of control, and trust the people around you? Skye talks with Jeff Ash, founder of Westside Improv Theater, about how the principles of improv, like saying yes and, can shape our parenting, our faith, and even our view of God.
