#294 - Two Halftimes, One Problem - The Fig Tree Has No Fruit
In this episode, Pastor Brian tackles both the Super Bowl halftime show and Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show” — and argues that while they look different on the surface, they expose the same deeper issue. Using Mark 11 and Jesus’ cursing of the fig tree, Brian challenges American Christians to ask a hard question: Are we celebrating leaves instead of fruit?
This episode confronts cultural Christianity, political tribalism, and the danger of confusing patriotism with discipleship. It’s not about left vs. right. It’s about fruit vs. appearance. Kingdom of God vs. kingdoms of this world.
