This week Colten and Joshua dive into the emotional weight of the current political moment, what it means to grieve a world that was never as stable as we thought, and why "stay inside, this isn't our fight" might be the most dangerous narrative circulating right now.

This week Colten and Joshua are asking an uncomfortable question: what happened to "love your enemy"?Starting with clips from David French and some viral church moments, we trace how American Christianity drifted from its roots into something tangled up with fear, nationalism, and an us-versus-them mentality.

This week Colten and Joshua dive into the cultural churn around AI, the future of work, and why so many men feel unanchored in a world that’s changing faster than anyone can track.

In Episode 2 of Ask the Next Question, Joshua and Colten dive deep into faith, politics, and pop culture.
