A cultural moment sparked something deeper. In this episode, Michael and Rick reflect on the conversations surrounding the Super Bowl halftime show—not to critique the show or the culture, but to explore what moments like this reveal in them. Through honest conversation, they wrestle with identity drift, the pull of political and cultural tribes, the fear that keeps us from sharing the Gospel, and the quiet work of staying centered in a divided world. Anchored in Acts 20 and shaped by lived experience, this episode invites listeners into the slow, steady work of formation in the middle miles of life.
