About this episode

The episode discusses various current events including Tiger Woods' DUI, a neighborhood fight involving Alan Ritchson, and UConn's buzzer beater, while reflecting on themes of spirituality and redemption.

In this week's Brief: “Jack Reacher” actor Alan Ritchson got into a real-life neighborhood fight and the internet lost its mind. Then we relive one of the greatest March Madness moments ever as UConn's Braylon Mullins hit a 35-foot buzzer beater to knock off Duke in a full-circle moment 34 years in the making. Plus, we discuss NASA's Artemis moon launch and TMZ asking Americans to snap pictures of Congressmen vacationing while the government is partially shutdown. From there, we dive into Tiger Woods' latest DUI arrest and what it reveals about unchecked celebrity and addiction and why he needs to pursue a path of vulnerability, healing, and spiritual redemption. We also touch on Trump's Iran ceasefire hints, gas hitting $4 a gallon, “Project Hail Mary” dominating the box office and reflect on how as Easter approaches, we're reminded of the best news we'll ever hear: the tomb is empty, and that changes everything.
