Brian From reflects on what we discover when connection is suddenly taken away, how our lack of control drives us to prayer, and why empathy should come before outrage in moments of public tragedy. The episode explores the courage found in true encouragement, the call to finish well with integrity, and the steady hope believers cling to when faith feels fragile. From parenting and discipleship to politics, perseverance, and historic Christian witness, this conversation centers on one enduring truth: Christ holds us fast, even when everything else feels uncertain.
