four things for friday!

On this week's four weeks for Friday: the debut of Typecast (!), where I respond to listener questions; a rundown of what I am watching, listening to, and reading this week (including: the new Netflix film It's What's Inside, revisiting Stephen King's Storm of the Century, Coldplay's Moon Music, The Bulwark conversation with Timothy Snyder this week on "the Politics of Impotence," Slow Burn's great new season on "The Rise of Fox News," and a searing new piece in the Atlantic, "Seventy Miles in the Darien Gap," by Cailtin Dickerson. Let me know what you are into this week in the comments!

This week's Typecast is a response to Mike Skinner, who asked me: "from your personal and pastoral experience, what are two or three theological truths that are commonly shared with folks who are struggling to find and hold onto hope that are both overrated and underrated in their power and ability to help and encourage?" Such a great (multi-part) question! I will look forward to reading more of yours!
