Adam’s thesis: adults still change based on who they absorb. Metaxas is the warning — change is real, and it’s not guaranteed to go toward Christ. In this livestream: • Adam’s Ted Lasso essay — modifiers, BELIEVE, baked goods, and the way of Christ • Metaxas vs Douthat on character • How Metaxas went from fearing Trump’s power-worship to “I trust him ultimately” • What Christian nationalism gets wrong about enemies, grace, and influence 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
