On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. His tragic death shocked young adults, families, and communities across the nation. In this episode, we step away from politics to focus on what really matters: how Christians process grief, guard their mental health, and hold on to the eternal hope we have in Christ.

From personal stories of vulnerability and breaking points to powerful Scriptures about the last days, persecution, and God’s peace, this conversation points us back to the promises of God. We’ll unpack practical steps for protecting your peace in a chaotic world, how to think biblically about tragedy, and why death never has the final word.

Whether you’re searching for answers, encouragement, or hope in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, this episode reminds us that Jesus is our anchor.

See you later, Charlie.

This week, in honor of 9/11, we are re-airing this previously recorded episode. It is one of the most fascinating and gripping interviews we've recorded. The fact that Brian is alive seems absolutely impossible, but God did the impossible and saved his life.

On September 11th 2001, it was a normal day for Senator Birdwell in the Pentagon, but at 9:37am his life would change forever. At that moment, American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the Pentagon just yards from the senator's desk. Listen in as he shares with Kevin and Kyle the minute by minute details of this horrific day, his over 50 surgeries and what life looks like for him now.

In this brand new episode, we dive deep into the rise and fall of Michael Tait—from his groundbreaking days with DC Talk and the Newsboys to the devastating allegations that led to his resignation in January 2025. We unpack detailed accounts of abuse, industry cover-ups, and Tait’s own shocking confession of living a “double life” filled with addiction and sin.

We also explore the role of power and celebrity culture within Christian music, reactions from artists like Cory Asbury, Hayley Williams, and Steve Taylor, and the urgent call for accountability in the church. Finally, we ask: how should Christians respond when leaders fall? What does true accountability, discipleship, and restoration look like in our faith communities?

Is it possible to question your faith without losing it?

In Part 1, Kevin shares his personal deconstruction story—from leaving a rigid denomination to rethinking long-held beliefs. He breaks down what deconstruction actually means, why it’s not always a bad thing, and what often triggers it (hint: it’s deeper than just doubt).
