When the military becomes a political pawn? As Esau and Producer Mike break down Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to D.C., Esau reflects on his family’s experience in the military and the heavy cost of deployments for morale, families, and democracy itself. Then, adult summer camps are on the rise. Are they the answer to America’s loneliness epidemic, or is there an easier and less expensive way to make friends after college? Plus, listener questions about faith in difficult workplaces, the value of liturgy, and the beliefs Esau has changed his mind on over time.
