Brian From reflects on the sobering honesty of Dilbert creator Scott Adams as he faces terminal cancer and wrestles publicly with faith, eternity, and the limits of Pascal’s Wager. The episode also pushes back on cultural narratives that portray parenthood as misery, arguing instead that children are a hard but profound gift that reshapes how we understand joy and purpose. Brian closes with a powerful reminder from Martin Lloyd-Jones that what the church needs most today is not novelty or politics, but absolute clarity and confidence in the gospel of Jesus Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
