The Struggle as a Picture of Faith
The conversation is anchored by the Greek word at the heart of Jude 3, where believers are urged to "contend earnestly for the faith." The hosts note that the Greek term contains the root for the English word "agonize." This isn't a casual debate or a comfortable Sunday school lesson; it is a sustained, exhausting effort.

Show Notes
A dangerous conspiracy theory about a school shooting pushes Zach to confront a man he knows personally, and the response is even more disturbing than the claims themselves. Jase and Al join Zach in examining America's obsession with conspiracy theories, political battles, and other distractions that keep people from confronting problems in their own lives. Meanwhile, Jase's morning descends into chaos involving a fire truck, a terrifying spider, and losing some hair. The guys also dig into the book of Jude, exploring the strange biblical accounts of fallen angels, sexual immorality, and the forbidden boundaries between the human and spiritual realms.
