In this episode, Greg and Nathan discuss the vibrant worlds of Wicked and Saturday Night Live—from Elphaba’s misunderstood power to SNL’s upcoming 50th anniversary—to unpack what these cultural spectacles reveal about fame, performance, and the tension between irony and authenticity. Through a gospel lens, we explore the deeper longings behind the laughter and the spotlight: the human desire to be seen, to be known, and to matter—not for applause or approval, but for love. Whether on stage or screen, the episode invites listeners to consider how the good news of Jesus speaks to our craving for meaning in a world obsessed with performance.
