Following up on the World in Turmoil and the scandal at Bethel, leads Kyle and Wayne into a conversation about character. Where do you find people of character and how do you become one in a culture that says the image you project is more important than the person you are? Do you see vulnerable people as targets to exploit or people who need care and security? Even though expedience provides a quicker path to money and power, living at peace with yourself is a far better journey.

"President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire to cause Armageddon and mark his return to earth." So said a base commander last week to his troops, according to a document filed with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Two hundred more similar complaints were also filed from 50 different military installations around the world. What do we make of this and the escalating war against ancient Babylon by what many consider to be modern-day Babylon? Kyle and Wayne take a look at the current geopolitical crisis and what it might portend for our world. They also ponder a C.S. Lewis quote that said the enemy often lures us deeply into one error by introducing the opposite error, so that our retreat from that one will blind us to the one we're already in.

Wayne, Tobie, and Kyle continue their discussion about the release of Just Love: How One Mistranslation Distorted the Gospel. All three express excitement about the potential impact it could have on those ready to hear it. They see a return to love-shaped justice to not only be more consistent with the through-story of Scripture, but also to a more meaningful expression of their passion and faith. In this episode, they talk about the impact this would have on our religious institutions, the connection between love and fairness, and how we're more aware of injustice when we are victims of it rather than when we're doing it. True justice comes from life transformation through Jesus rather than external systems or retribution. They discussed how the etymology of justice traces back to concepts of life energy, and how Jesus modeled serving others rather than seeking power.
