Declining Standards for Leaders, The Response to the United Healthcare CEO Murder, and Questions for Better Friendships

On this episode, Pastor Judah and Pastor Brian discuss an article claiming that our standards for leadership in public service have declined. They look at why this is and why it matters. Next, after the death of United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, it provoked a range of responses online. Judah and Brian talk about what these responses tell us about the mindset of Americans. Next, they talk about questions we can use for deeper, more meaningful conversations with friends. They end the episode with some Christmas movie trivia (spoiler alert: they are both very, very bad at it).
