A CEO who interviews some of the world's most powerful people sat down with a Christian apologist and said something that stopped Brian From cold: "One of the most compelling arguments for God isn't anything you've written or said. It's actually you." That four-word sentence becomes the thread running through this entire hour. Russell Moore follows with a careful word on apologetics — we need debaters, yes, but winning arguments alone isn't the kingdom of God, and sometimes the most powerful witness is a fifth-grade preacher explaining grace. Then: I am the true vine — what Jesus means when he says remain in me, why abiding is not the same as striving, and why fruit flows from connection, not effort. A look at the Mormon/Latter-day Saint rebranding effort and why the Jesus they describe is not the biblical Jesus. Travel sports, church, and why the either-or framing isn't always honest or helpful. The sudden death of Bulls champion and beloved Chicago broadcaster Stacey King at 59. A study showing more than half of men feel they're failing at manhood because of financial pressure. And a piece that lands personally for Brian: your calling is a zigzag, your assignment changes with the seasons, and nothing — not even the parts that felt like detours — is wasted.
