Skye and Drew open this edition of Drew’s News by reflecting on Charlie Kirk's assassination and the string of recent political violence. Is this analogous to the 1960's—or the 1910's? But there’s other stuff on their minds—midlife faith crises, declining grades in plublic schools, and—“Jesus glow-ups” on Tiktok? Skye and Drew look at all of this news and try to make sense of it all. Get the full episode by signing up for Holy Post Plus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/138694494/

An amendment to the Constitution has not been ratified since 1992, and with the political corruption and chaos of recent years, some believe we are overdue. Skye Jethani talks with David French about what's broken within the American government, why our political parties are unlikely to fix it, and why the survival of the republic might depend on a spiritual awakening among evangelicals. 0:00 - Theme Song 8:02 - Has the Two-Party System Gotten Worse? 16:00 - The Purpose of Parties 24:40 - Malformative News Media 56:09 - The Need for Virtuous Leaders 1:04:30 - End Credits
