Q. What is the watchers version of military practices that re humanizes the enemy? A. We adopt a posture of grieving, and we pray for them as human image bearing humans. Q. Is it just like boy cani, can i watch the images of the war with a more immediate reflex of moving to pray for the very people i am seing on the screen? I think you watch and you observe for the urgency of understanding the injustice.

This week David and Curtis start with confession time, each looking closely at the challenges of contrarianism and pride that impact all of us in our modern discourse. They unpack the tricky balance between knowing, certainty, and humility, including the possibility that we might be wrong.

In the second half, they dive into the spiritual challenge of staying attentive to the war in Ukraine without just watching it as a form of perverse entertainment. In another tricky balance, our hosts offer suggestions for staying connected in ways that are less personally destructive and more spiritually healthy.
