US Hockey, Ben Sasse, and Jesse Jackson: How We Celebrate, Die, and Remember
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the US hockey team's gold win, Ben Sasse's reflections on mortality, and how to honor the legacy of Jesse Jackson.
The U.S. hockey team wins gold, but the celebration sparked bigger questions. Esau, Malcolm, and Mike discuss if America become the bully to the rest of the world? Also, Ben Sasse's public reflections on his terminal cancer diagnosis bring a different kind of clarity about faith, family, and what actually matters when time runs short. Then, with the passing of Jesse Jackson, we consider how to remember leaders who shaped history by honoring real progress without pretending perfection. 0:00 - Theme Song 2:10 - Parking Spot 5:36 - Canada Vs US Hockey 9:07 - Did David Become Goliath? 17:21 - Ben Sass and Facing Mortality 21:10 - Sponsor - Nazarene Theological Seminary - Looking for a program grounded in black theology?
