    Charlie Kirk: Masculinity, Femininity, and the Kirk Effect

    In this episode, we dive into one of the most volatile cultural conversations of the year—the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rather than rushing to react, we stepped back to ask the deeper questions: What made him such a polarizing yet influential voice? How does bold speech intersect with biblical conviction? And when does “masculine strength” cross into moral compromise? We explore the tension between conviction and compassion, leadership and gentleness, and what it really means to represent Christ in the public square. This isn’t an easy episode—but it’s an honest one. (Part 1) Listen for: A candid discussion on faith, masculinity, and free speechThe spiritual lessons behind a cultural crisisHow Christians can engage culture without losing their witness Thanks for Listening!

    Men's Health

    In this candid and timely episode, the guys pause their usual cultural commentary to tackle an overlooked and deeply personal topic—men’s health. With striking stats and real-life admissions (including a confession about not seeing a doctor in over four years), they unpack why so many men—especially ages 18–44—avoid preventative care. The episode doesn’t just diagnose the problem; it explores the roots—pride, finances, trust issues, cultural messaging, and spiritual stewardship—and offers practical and biblical perspectives on how to change the narrative. From awkward doctor visits to reflections on fatherhood, mentorship, and manhood, this conversation invites listeners to consider:   Is neglecting your health actually neglecting your calling?

    Workin’ 9-to-5

    The nine-to-five workday doesn’t just shape our jobs—it’s reshaping our churches, communities, and even our view of discipleship. In this episode, we wrap up our Labor Day series by asking: How has the nine-to-five mindset influenced the way churches operate?Has consumerism and corporate structure replaced community and discipleship?What does the Bible say about work as worship, and how does Sabbath fit into our rhythms?From sunrise photography to corporate professionalism, from Sabbath trust to consumerist tendencies, we wrestle with how Christians can live faithfully in a culture dominated by the grind. Join us as we reflect on how to see our work—and our worship—through the eyes of our Creator. Thanks for Listening! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

    9-to-5: A Numbers Game

    In this follow-up to our Labor Day conversation, we dive deeper into the meaning of work, labor, and the “nine-to-five” mindset. Are work and labor the same—or is there a biblical and cultural distinction? Has the nine-to-five schedule helped us thrive or quietly reshaped our families, communities, and faith? We wrestle with the tension between efficiency and purpose, predictability and freedom, labor and calling. This thought-provoking episode will challenge you to reflect on how you view your job, your time, and your stewardship before God. Thanks for Listening! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

    Labor Day

    Labor Day is often seen as the unofficial end of summer, a day for cookouts and one last long weekend before school begins. But is that really all it is? In this episode, we pause to reflect on the meaning of Labor Day, its history, and what it says about our culture’s view of work. Aaron, Anton, and Adrian take the conversation from lighthearted dream jobs to serious reflections on layoffs, unions, and how technology has changed our relationship with work. Along the way, they wrestle with big questions: • Has the original spirit of Labor Day honoring everyday workers been lost? • How has the meaning of work shifted in recent years? • Will AI and cultural shifts reshape how we value labor in the future? With stories, personal reflections, and even a few surprises (astronaut, anyone?), this episode challenges us to think about the dignity of work, the value of every role, and what it means to honor God in our labor.

    Impact Sports

    Sports are everywhere in our culture—from Friday night lights to the Super Bowl, from youth leagues to Olympic glory. They inspire, entertain, and even unite communities. But they also come with pitfalls: idolatry, misplaced identity, and unhealthy priorities. In this episode, we dig into: The positives of sports: discipline, teamwork, fitness, and communityThe darker side: idolatry, misplaced identity, and overemphasis in family lifeHow to engage with sports as followers of Christ—keeping them in their proper place as a gift from GodPractical wisdom for parents raising kids in competitive sportsWhy balance, stewardship, and perspective matter more than championshipsWe also share personal stories, biblical insights, and even a few lighthearted moments (yes, golf and fishing made the list). Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual observer, this conversation invites you to think deeply about how sports shape our culture and our faith. Thanks for Listening!

    Viral Villains

    In this episode of A Burden for the Times, we take a deep dive into the rise of “viral villains” — those caught in a moment and broadcast to millions. From a CEO’s public downfall at a Coldplay concert to the culture of internet outrage, we ask: Why are we so quick to shame?When does justice become entertainment?Can we separate news from noise?We explore the culture of instant judgment, the role of social media in amplifying shame, and how believers can respond with wisdom and grace. This episode challenges us to think deeper about sin, justice, and the gospel in an era where everything — even our worst moments — can become someone else’s content. Thanks for Listening!

    The Patriotic Problem (Part 3)

    Patriotism, the Pulpit, and the Pendulum: Where Do We Stand? In this conclusion to our series on patriotism and the church, we tackle the big questions: Does patriotism belong in the church? What does healthy patriotism look like? And must you be patriotic to be a good Christian? From personal stories to biblical reflections—including a powerful look at Jeremiah 29—we explore how gratitude, love for country, and allegiance to Christ can coexist. The conversation isn’t always comfortable, but it’s honest, thoughtful, and rooted in a gospel-centered worldview. Whether you’ve been nodding along or wrestling with what we’ve said, we invite you to lean in for one last roundtable as we seek to live faithfully in our nation without losing sight of our higher calling.
