When power becomes the point, something in us begins to erode.

Scripture names it.
"The man lusting for power is always active-
the center of the show, relentless, vigilant, restless."
-David Brooks, The Atlantic
Power that demands attention rarely leaves room for wisdom.

But the truth is, faithfulness won’t look the same for everyone.
In our conversation, David French doesn’t offer a checklist. Instead, he offers a framework—by asking a single, clarifying question:

Faith doesn’t just shape what we believe. It shapes who we’re willing to stay in the room with.
In a world that sorts us by tribe and preference, the church can still be a place where difference becomes formation.

If Scripture tells us who God is, creation shows us how God’s care and truth are made visible in the world we inhabit. Paying attention to the natural world is not a distraction from faith, but one way of listening more closely to the God who made it.

Christmas day may be behind us, but the light remains.
“In him was life, and that life was the light of all people.”
As we step back into ordinary days, we do so carrying this hope: the life of Jesus still shines—steady, present, and unafraid of the darkness. Faithful presence still matters.

In this week’s episode, Jennie Murray helped us name a truth that often gets lost in the noise: holding compassion and order together isn’t a contradiction. It’s the kind of balanced, thoughtful posture Christians are called to embody.

Advent peace isn’t the absence of conflict. It’s the quiet confidence that the Prince of Peace is already on the move.
We live as people who believe winter will end. That justice will roll down. That the roar of resurrection still echoes in the cold.

In our hardest moments, we’re invited to choose: Will we open ourselves to connection, to God, to others? Or will we isolate, distract, and spiral deeper?
This choice doesn’t erase the pain—but it can transform it.
