In this first episode of 2026, we take some time to reflect on 2025 and some of the major events that transpired. We pay special attention on the recent developments within the conservative right and the fractures that have become clear in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death as a result of conspiracy theories and the appeal of sensational explanatory narratives. Following the guidance of Scripture & our Reformed confessions, in this episode we discuss how Christians ought not be marked by pervasive distrust of government and institutions, but by an abiding respect for and willingness to trust them despite their failings.
