Why does everything feel like it\\u2019s \\u201cus vs. them\\u201d these days? Pastor and author J.R. Briggs says it\\u2019s because we\\u2019ve been taught to see everything as either/or, while Jesus modeled how to live in the tension of both/and. Briggs calls the space between opposing ideas the \\u201csacred overlap.\\u201d He talks to Skye about the role of mystery and paradox in Christian theology, and how it applies to contemporary issues. Also this week, why using war rhetoric to describe our Christian mission is very unchristian. Clean comedian, Jim Gaffigan, unloads on Trump in a profanity-filled Twitter rant. Did Eric Metaxas punch someone and then run through Washington D.C. backwards? Plus\\u2014beetles, frogs, and butts.
