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 killing of Tyree Nichols at the hands of police officers in Memphis

and how that has changed our conversation about race and policing.

We're also going to talk about a story of a teacher who put her job to work at Costco.

Can a job at Costco be as meaningful as a job in the classroom and what does work look like for Christians?

So we have a lot to get to today. We're so glad you're with us. Stick around.

I'm sure they've been doing it before. Sure we've been doing it before. I'm sure everyone, maybe I've watched many spiked thrillers,

but yeah, we're all doing that all the time.

So I went hiking over Thanksgiving. I was in Rocky Mountain National Park and went on a hike.

One of the best things about hiking in there is it's so quiet, right? It's like eerily quiet almost.

And I get to this lake, this two mile trail back into the mountains,

and all of a sudden I hear this creepy sound and look up and there's a drone on top of me.

And I finally got to the lake into the clearing and I saw that some dude was using this drone,

but it was like super uncomfortable.
