There's the reply guy who believes it’s innocuous but is totally being extra. And the baddie who accepted the promposal and made all the chaperones shake their heads. And the braggadocious Brad who was caught in 4K kicking that poor old man’s Buick, and then blamed it on the bruzz. Oh, and the neckbeard who, for a few chortles from his tribe, revels in rage-bait and ratcheting up online smoke.

In this seventh episode of season four, Chris and Kyle record an "excast" on why we need more repentance in our Republic (and a lot less regret in the Church). Not the kind of repentance that just feels sorry for a wrong done or wallows in regret over sin. No—the kind of repentance that turns people from their selfish ways to their Savior. The kind that makes room for others and draws them near.

What are eyes for? Not side eyes or Gen Z stares.

What should people be doing when they’re convalescing? Definitely not online aura farming or mukbanging.

What sins and vices are more likely to pop their heads in an apartment complex than a ranch or beach house? Probably bed rotting or Rickrolling.

And what hath Alfred Hitchcock and Slavoj Žižek have to do with negative neighboring? Literally . . . everything.

In this sixth episode of season four, on common grace in culture, Chris and Kyle inaugurate a new mini-series on Alfred Hitchcock films. (That's right—Hitchcock has entered the chat.) This episode they analyze Hitchcock's film, Rear Window. The moral of the episode is lock in, look people in the face, don't spy on them, and be grateful for others.

Maybe we're all here just figuring it out based on curiosity and piquancy. I could have been an NBA star but chose to be a writer instead. You could have been a model but got sidetracked tinkering with mechanical engineering. Orrrrr: Maybe we all have callings. Maybe there are things we are supposed to do in life. And maybe God designed us for them. And that's what we have to figure out.

In this fifth episode of season four, an "excast," Chris and Kyle turn their heads and hearts toward vocation, discernment, and how to trust your conscience in such a clamorous and confused age. Yet this ain't no ivory tower pageantry of pontification. They give real sticky advice. Like pay attention to your dreams, register your attractions and aversions, and don't be too quick to race past your mistakes.

"What they did to you—that? That deserves to be buried for the entirety of your life. For eternity, in fact. God was definitely absent. You have to flush those memories down the porcelain of the abyss. Don't remember those experiences. They will haunt you. Escape your past. Hide the hurt. And whatever you do, don't give them another chance." That's the sin talking.

In this fourth episode of season four, Chris and Kyle continue their five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. This episode they discuss their song "The Lion's Roar." It drips with divine providence. Even in the darkness, grace radiates. Even in deception, there is revelation. It also bops with redemption. He was there. He will be there. So listen and see the stability behind the curtain. Hear the faith amid the flux.

How do you practice patience when it seems like everything is in flux? How can you believe in control when you only experience the rush of life? Can relationships actually be patched together and made whole again, or is it all merely psychological bandaging? Is there a silver lining to things, or are we all just doping ourselves with false hope? And what does all this mean for our interactions with others?

In this third episode of season four, Chris and Kyle continue their five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. This episode they discuss their song "Silver Lining." They take Christian perseverance amid adversity head-on. Life is a pilgrimage; acknowledge this reality. Your ways have been ordered; adopt your calling. The wages of sin is death; accept your mortality.

What does a Christian do with loss, change, and failure? When it seems like permanence is fleeting and the stability of your efforts is slipping through your finger tips, what do you say to yourself? Or when the veneer of everything glamorous is rotting or getting rusty, what do you say to your neighbor? What do you do when grey seems like the new gold? How do you have hope?

In this second episode of season four, on Common Grace and Communion in Culture, Chris and Kyle inaugurate a five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. This episode they discuss their song "Stay Gold." They talk about aesthetics to be appreciated, our status as creatures, and how to have neighborly hope despite loss and broken relationships.

We talk like Thrasos but we deserve to be treated like hooligans–the miscreants we have become. And yet He’s gracious. And kind. All the time. His generosity is undeserved, and yet we see it everywhere. It’s in the little things like oxygen, idyllic landscapes, and a baby’s smile. It’s also in the big stuff like protecting us from meteor showers and restraining the zombie apocalypse.

In this first episode of season four, Chris and Kyle sketch the season. It’s all about common grace in culture. They discuss the artists, films, shows, and novels that they’ll be examining this season and how they hint, nod, point, and wink to God and His goodness. Our triune God sneaks His grace into everything. Even pagan paintings. As providence has it, Chris and Kyle have a knack for mining gold and grace.

We all want to be naked. We want to stand before our spouses, parents, strangers, enemies, and our God and not feel guilt or shame. To be nepheshly exposed, and find comfort in the authenticity, honesty, integrity, and hospitality of it all. That's because the origin, condition, and destiny of all creatures is communion with others and life in everlasting community.

In this season three finale, Chris and Kyle snack and leave no crumbs. Why do we hide? Why do we isolate ourselves? Why do we segregate and vacate? It's futile. We can't escape God's design for community. Even hell will be populated. So don't evade, escape, or eschew your neighbor. Pull your hood down; take your earbuds out; take off your sunglasses; and stop bed rotting. Get out there and love neighboring.
