  • The recent shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville, and how far too many of us jump to reactions and form conclusions without waiting for all of the facts.
  • Why has there been a rise in shootings committed by people identifying as trans?
  • What responsibility does the church have in situations like this? Can we play any role in preventing these tragedies in the future?

This week, Alan and Justin discuss a few of the great What Ifs of life...and College Football. Justice is on the Headlines this week: Insurrectionists and Backwoods Southern Lawyers. Back to Football for the headaches.

After its not-so-warm reception in conservative Christian circles, Alan and Justin take a look at the "He Gets Us" ad campaign. Is it as politically driven as some think it is? 

The NFL is a "modern day gladiator sport," but what exactly does that mean? The recent on-field incident where CPR was administered to Bills DB Damar Hamlin has caused many to discuss the dangers of the sport once again, which seems just a bit performative to us.

Also in this episode, we talk a little about our recent headaches, like college football kickers. They get a ton of the credit (or blame), but are they even football players? Alan has a hot take. 

Listen along as we talk about all the things right and wrong with the world of football and Christianity

In this episode, Justin and Alan discuss a couple of recent headlines including a prominent unexpected death in college football and a serious problem of decreased productivity in the American workforce this year

Additionally, we get into a conversation about holiday traditions, Santa Claus (warning don't listen with your Santa-believing kids around), and what we're looking forward to this holiday season!

In this episode Justin and Alan catch up after a few weeks off. 

Topics discussed:

Headlines: Respect for Marriage Bill, US Men's soccer, Brittney Griner.

Headspace: What does it mean to be a conservative? The gap between Republicans and Conservatives becoming more apparent. 

Headaches: Friends that ghost on you when you want to make fun of them.

In this SIXTH episode of Season 2 of the "Back At It" Podcast, your hosts Alan and Justin spend some time talking about the greatest disappointment of Justin's life: none other than the South Carolina Gamecocks. In addition, we take a look at the college football playoff and ask if it's possible that the playoff is ruining the sport. Spoiler Alert: We Disagree! 

In our headlines section, we dig into the recent (or not so recent?) news story of Chippy the Chipotle Chipmaking Robot. Chippy won't be replacing a huge number of the workforce, but is this a slippery slope we need to be aware of? Alan has strong feelings.

Lastly, we wrap up with our biggest headaches...in this case, a literal one that's been plaguing Justin all day! Also, Alan gets thrown a curveball of a question, and a debate is had over whether a famous person actually existed. You don't want to miss this one!

We're continuing with our new format of "headline, headspace, and headache," where we take a look at a recent news story or two, talk about what's been on our minds personally, and rant a little about the things that we just can't explain.

Headline(s): What is America's Responsibility to Brittney Griner? Can/Should Christians support the death penalty? How should Christians think about and respond to these questions?

Headspace: What's the point of Revelation? Does its meaning impact how Christians should see the world today? Alan and Justin discuss their views.

Headache: Alan's biggest headache--which we discover quite accidentally in this episode--is when Justin can't pick up on Alan's cues while recording!

Stacy Abrams says abortion is the key to solving inflation, a similar solution to the one posed by Jonathan Swift nearly 300 years ago! The only problem: his argument was entirely satirical, while Ms Abrams seems to fully believe she's found the answer!

Justin asks the question, "what does it take to change a culture?"

Alan lets us all know how he feels about the ridiculous world of added fees

We talk some football, some life, and as always, we share a few laughs.
