Culture Brief - Christian perspectives on the week's biggest news, sports & pop-culture stories
This week, Micah navigates the latest tariff, hostage, and ceasefire agreements made between the US and nations around the globe alongside Trump’s Middle East tour. Then it’s “Aviation Corner with Conner” – understanding the chaos unfolding at Newark airport and the “free” Air Force One replacement. Plus quick hits on the first American Pope, Pete Rose’s Baseball Hall of Fame eligibility, and a wild theory about a deeper conspiracy in the NBA. As always, we offer spiritual reflections and a look at what’s coming up in culture. We’re here to help you discern the news differently—and seek God’s wisdom along the way!
