From there, we break down the story behind the Spurs losing in the Finals, why Wemby’s first run may be the beginning of something bigger, why sports feel like modern mythology, and how moments like Game 7 can make an entire city feel alive. We also get into Kanye coming to San Antonio, the tension between transcendent art and personal chaos, why “Jesus Walks” still matters, how time changes as you get older, and what it means to create something “good and very good” with your life. ___________________________________________________________________________ This is a conversation about sports, faith, culture, psychology, creativity, masculinity, meaning, and the hidden narratives shaping modern life.

We get into public Christianity, being “weird” in modern culture, representing Christ without performing, the line between authenticity and ego, the discipline of spiritual fitness, the power of testimony, and why some truths can’t be fully understood until you live them. This episode also touches on Jordan Peterson-style ideas around personality integration, the metaphysics of suffering, debate, truth, the resurrection of Jesus, and why faith is not just something you believe — it becomes something you practice.
