Brian From kicks off the weekend with a report that Halloween candy prices have jumped 71 percent in five years, along with near-$5 gas, and reminds listeners that contentment is found in Christ, not a bank account. He shares a study finding that sleeping with a dog doesn’t disrupt owners’ sleep, and Canada’s decision to exclude mental illness from its Medical Assistance in Dying program, which he sees as a good step within a troubling system. He discusses a Gospel Coalition piece arguing that greed, not just lust, drove former worship leader Caleb Flynn to murder his wife. He challenges listeners to “reject apathy” in their faith, marriages, and work, and looks at American Bible Society data showing most Americans still believe in God and the supernatural even as church attendance falls. Brian also responds to the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, sharing Erick Erickson’s argument that public executions twist the soul. He closes with Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 and a call to expect God to do more than we can ask or imagine.
