You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.

Today we're going to talk about the Super Bowl, specifically gambling on the Super Bowl.

We're also going to talk to David Bonson about life and work and finding meaning.

We're so glad you're with us. Please stick around.

Welcome to Break Point this week. From the Colson Center for Christian World View, I'm Maria Bear alongside John Stone Street. That was my mini co-host, Naomi. Thank you for

that. They're off school today for parent-teacher conferences. That was cute. It's cheating to throw

cute little kids in there. I know. I knew you couldn't say no once you saw her. It's too cute for words.

Yeah. You have to pay her. You have to subcontract her out. I'm not paying her. I will. I better tell her to set some of it aside for taxes.

Actually, I'll probably send her something. That's pretty cute. Well, John, I know that we have a bit of a special show this week. You had a really

fascinating conversation with David Bonson. You kind of teased it up last week. So we're going to

share that conversation on the second segment of today's show. Do you want to give us a little

preview of that? What did you guys focus on? Well, it was a timely conversation. The last time

we had him on was to talk about,

according to all the headlines, the catastrophic drop in the market. And he, as I said in the

interview, he talked us all off the cliff back then. But if you think about everything that's

been happening from the last several years, the great resignation, the intergenerational challenges in the workplace,

which I hear about all the time between older workers and younger workers, the frustration

that many workers have, especially younger, by not getting in, being able to get into

things like the housing market and inflation of course

and doge you know just kind of like you know cutting corners and you know what that means

as you hear people describe it it all is connected to meaning and we've talked about the catastrophic loss of meaning and culture.

How many times?
