Summary
Greenland is suddenly back on the menu of American foreign policy, raising real questions about conquest, NATO, and whether Christians can ever justify taking land that isn't theirs. Then, J. Cole's fear of "the fall off" becomes a window into ambition, calling, and the strange psychology of decline. And when Druski lampoons megachurch culture, it forces an uncomfortable look at why the church keeps becoming an easy punchline, and how Christians should respond when they are the butt of the joke. Plus, will Instagram be the thing that finally tears apart Esau and Mike?

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, welcome to the Eastall McCauley podcast. I am joined today by Sharon Hattie Miller, |
| 0:13.4 | co-pastor of Bright City Church, an amazing author. What was the name of the book that you just |
| 0:17.7 | re-released recently? That I just re-released was free of me, why life is better when it's not about you. Is there another book that's coming out that I don't know about? Am I missing one? So I came out with a devotional at the end of the summer called Gazing at God. Okay, so you can buy either one of those. And we're also joined by producer Mike. Hi, Esau. So you can let everybody know about your book that you have. Yeah, I've got a book that is Esau's really mean and always tries to make fun of me. I'm sorry. It'll be in stores. I apologize. I apologize. Well, to open up our podcast, Mike actually sent me a sweet article that I thought they might function as a conversation piece. I'm giving me, |
| 0:54.6 | I'm giving you some cops, some, some credit here. So there's this woman and her husband who, |
| 0:59.5 | if I get this story right, they saw a, um, what do you call a stroller. Yeah. And they thought kind of |
| 1:06.1 | as a joke, it'd be cool to get this stroller and use it for their dog. So they got it. |
| 1:11.2 | But it turns out that they actually loved having this dog in the stroller. |
| 1:15.9 | And it became a conversation piece in the community. |
| 1:19.5 | And I think the story kind of ends in a slightly sad note. |
| 1:22.5 | The husband passes away. |
| 1:24.7 | But this dog in the stroller becomes this connection point in the community. |
| 1:28.2 | But what it raised for us is this interesting question. |
| 1:31.3 | What is something that everybody might judge you about or think that you're wrong about |
| 1:35.7 | that you're actually going to, like, I'm still going to go for, I'm going to down that hill. |
| 1:39.1 | And so I thought we start with Sharon. |
| 1:41.2 | We'll start with Sharon. |
| 1:42.3 | Sharon, what is something that you think is important or good |
| 1:45.0 | that other people might think is overrated? |
| 1:48.0 | So I knew you're going to ask me this question, |
| 1:51.0 | and I actually received this as an opportunity |
| 1:54.0 | to find out what the people in my life are annoyed by about me |
| 1:58.0 | or think that I do that as weird. |
