This is Breakpoint This Week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission with John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview.

Welcome to another edition of Breakpoint this week. I'm Shane Morris here with John Stone Street to explore the big stories of the week from the perspective of Christianity

through a Christian worldview. That's what we do here at the Colson Center. It's something I believe

is more important today than at any other time in my admittedly brief lifetime. You are a young

guy, Shane, so it's important to start by saying, you know, but I would say the same thing.

And that adds another decade, at least to the time frame.

Well, thank you, John. I know people always say that when they see me for the first time,

they say you sound way older than you look. So I don't know whether to consider that a compliment

or an insult, but I usually take it as a compliment.

We're going to look back on this year potentially, and it's always dangerous to make these kinds of predictions,

but I think we could look back on this year as the low point maybe of the last 10 years.

It's just been a week of absolute turmoil.

And that came with, of course, images. There was a powerful opinion piece that I really

liked by Joe Ferrulo at the Hill. And he surveys how past chapters in American history have been

kind of defined by single images, these photographs that just emerge out of riots and wars and

political turmoil and so forth and how

the public reactions and even policies have actually flowed from those images. And he raises

the really good question of which image is going to come out of 2020. Is it going to be the

unarmed George Floyd as the officer, you know, kneels on his neck killing him? Or is it going to be the ensuing

riots and the property destruction and even, even destruction of life that ensued from that?

Well, Andy Crouch had a tremendous article this week. And Andy's been a really helpful commentator.

In fact, after we record this, and I think it's important to note, Shane, that we're recording this on Thursday afternoon.
