Episode 012: Acts of Retaliation
Brian and Brian share how we live in a world that glorifies the act of revenge or payback
0:57 "A View of the World" - Both Brian and Brian give examples of how they have both been tempted to or actually sought out payback on their own.
9:42 "Your Place in the World" - We see that through scripture, we aren't supposed to seek personal acts of retaliation. That doesn't mean we don't practice selfdefense and people shouldn't be punished for their crimes. But on our own, retaliation leads to death.
24:51 "What in the World" - Brian and Brian share about Tucker Carlson and Fox News' separation and a quick story about their kids in this busy season of sports.
