Almost Brothers Podcast
Mourning in a Divided World
The world feels darker than ever. With senseless violence dominating headlines and social media feeds filled with people celebrating tragedy rather than mourning it, we're witnessing a disturbing shift in how our society processes death and loss.
This week, we dive deep into the troubling reality that death itself has become political. Remember when tragedies like 9/11 brought Americans together? Churches were full, people were kind to each other, and we stood united in our grief. Today, even mourning has become divisive. We explore why this shift happened and what it means for our children growing up in this new reality.
The recent shooting of Charlie Kirk, a woman murdered on a train, school shootings - these events aren't just tragic because they happened, but because of how we've responded to them. As parents, we're now forced to have conversations with our children that we never imagined having. The contrast between our own childhoods - riding bikes until streetlights came on - and the restricted, fearful world our kids navigate is jarring.
Yet even in darkness, light emerges. We discuss how Charlie Kirk's legacy lives on as people turn to Christ and find inspiration to stand firmly in their beliefs. As Christians, we're called to respond differently - to lead with love without compromising truth. Jesus's final words, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do," provide our blueprint for responding to hatred and violence.
The church has a powerful opportunity to stand out by demonstrating forgiveness rather than anger. This countercultural response shows a peace that transcends even death - a hope that the world desperately needs to witness. We believe that even in our divided society, there's room for redemption and healing.

Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 2:If the state of the world could be summarized in one actual state, it would be Missouri.
Speaker 1:Missouri.
Speaker 4:See what you did there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I see what you did there.
Speaker 1:I see what you did there. You're not wrong.
Speaker 5:Richard, did you get that? I don't listen to you, dang.

Speaker 5:That's just not Do it again.
Speaker 4:Thank you, got him, doesn't count when you ask for it that's just not do it again, thank you got him doesn't count when you ask for it and ask for.
Speaker 5:I demanded it oh sorry, there's no decorum on this podcast it's just absolute chaos stop making up words pandemonium.
Speaker 1:It's just absolute chaos.
Speaker 2:Stop making up words. Pandemonium, yeah, so you know it's just it.
Speaker 1:It's really just heavy and dark and it's it's I, which, of course, you never want to be desensitized to it. But man, I like I just this week was pretty tough with everything that went on. Yeah, you know, with Charlie Kirk and 9-11, thinking back on that, and you know, the lady getting killed, not Russian, she was Ukrainian.
Speaker 1:You know, on the train, and just the senseless violence, and not just the violence, the reactions after yeah, like we. We can't even as a country and as a world and as people, we can't even just say, hey, this is a bad thing can't even mourn it even death has to be divisive.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh yeah. And it's like why we can't even mourn the loss of a of life, of a human being like it and it, and you know it, it's dark. You know that there's evil in the world, but man, just to see it like that is and so discouraged, so shameless too yes, it's celebrated, yeah, yeah, you know, and it's like I I just don't get. And, of course, the bible alludes to this. We know that, that we live in darkness, and we know that you know we battle not against flesh and blood.
Speaker 2:But it's no, you read that and it's just a whole nother thing, just to see it.
Speaker 1:Yeah one, and that's why I told mike this morning I said it's it's one thing when now I've got my son coming to me and and this is somebody that he watched right and now I'm having to explain to my 12-year-old why or how or all these things. It's just so different.
Speaker 5:Last week apparently they talked about so Luke is in. I don't know whatever grade he's in, I'm a good dad. I promise he's in first grade and they talked about 9-11. They talked about 9-11 this week.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Well, he on his own because they watch YouTube all the time. I went in there and he was watching a documentary on 9-11. And all his seven-year-old brain can comprehend is this is just sad and it is. It's a terrible tragedy. Charlie kirk was one of my personal heroes. I love everything he stood for and, yes, that's one that, oh my gosh but I loved everything he stood for.
Speaker 5:But that's what I was telling tyler earlier. You know his death is is winning a lot of people to Christ, you know, and and so I think that he would be proud of that, but I don't think he was ready to to make that sacrifice but he was willing to do.
Speaker 2:Right. Well, that's, I mean just knowing, like the stories of the apostles and how they died, just knowing, like the stories of the apostles and how they died. Anyone that takes some kind of platform or anything like that for God and the gospel, you sign up for it? Yeah, it hopefully won't happen, but it's, we're at a point, it's a risk we're willing to take. Yeah, and and right, it's, we're at a point, it's a risk we're willing to take.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and, and, and. That's the effect, that's the. The light out of it is that you see a lot of people now going oh, I'm really going to stand up for what I believe in now Like.
Speaker 1:I'm really gonna you know I'm not going to let this be in vain and I'm going to stand up now. So it's inspiring people some people, but then you've got others and it's like disagree with people. That's what's beautiful about especially our country, is that you have the right, you have the free and you have the obligation. Disagree with people. That's awesome, but when did we take such a hard turn to where now, even that is something that feels like a threat to, where you have to do something like this?
Speaker 1:There's always been evil in the world like this type of stuff has always happened, but it's just so out there now in your face and you see people's reactions to it and it's just sickening. So like for for me it was. It was not so much the death because, again, like you said you're, there's always going to be people that die for their faith. It's always going to happen. When you speak the truth, that's what's going to happen, right, but it's the reaction to it that really, yeah, really just like ate at me, like I lost sleep, like it really ate at me because, again, my kids are in this now like they're in the midst of, like this is young people, the world they have to right, yeah and it's like I.
Speaker 1:I didn't grow like we mourned people yeah like I remember being at school when 9-11 happened. I remember being at school when um columbine happened. Right, we mourned for these people. Yeah, like, like nobody celebrated these things. I remember when you know when presidents would get shot or like things like that, no matter what side we were on. And it's like what has happened to, where we just take life so nonchalantly, where people are getting beat in the street and there are kids laughing filming it.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's Grand Theft Auto's fault.
Speaker 2:It is not. And we ain't even got Grand Theft Auto 6, yet I know, it's just so.
Speaker 5:It's tragic and I remember 9-11. It brought everybody together. As tragic as it was. Our country came together for it.
Speaker 4:I was four.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was in high school I was an adult, so live was one I was.
Speaker 5:I was actually living not too far from here in mcdougall, arkansas oh yeah, but anyway, I do remember that and it brought the country together instead of dividing. And now anything happens, like anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a divisive thing and I applaud a lot of the people that are trying to allow it to bring people together to where you see a lot of people that completely disagreed with a lot of these beliefs and a lot of these thoughts but that are saying this is a loss of a life, you know. So I I do applaud that. I think that a lot of the rhetoric that led up to it was some of those people's faults. When you, when you say disgusting vile things about people, don't be surprised when people do disgusting vile things towards that person. It's like, I mean, you know, when you call somebody certain things for so long of you're going to rattle, rattle, radicalize people against them, like that. That's, that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1:Of course, at the end of the day, you blame the person that did it. But that doesn't help. When, when certain news outlets and certain people call these people certain things and say they're they're a threat to the country, they're a threat to the country, and then somebody does something, well, of course I think it's justified. You've told them for 10 years that this person is a threat. So it's like we and it's such a hard thing, especially for the church and for Christians You've got to forgive, you've got to look for the light, you've got to continue hoping for better, but also stand your ground. It's such a tough balance, you know, and I keep thinking back to David and Goliath. If David and Goliath happened today, you know, and God called David to slay this giant, would we be so on the side of air? Quote love that we'd say, oh no, david, you've got to love him.
Speaker 1:There's got to be a quote love that we say oh no, david, you've got to love them right there's got to be a point to where we say, no, we're going to stand our ground yeah you know. So it's like where's that balance out of of being able to say, yes, we're going to love you, but we're also not going to be taken advantage?
Speaker 5:of. Yeah, you know you, you read some of these comments and it's, it's sickening to see people make comments like he deserved to die and nobody you know.
Speaker 1:It's just heartbreaking that we've gotten to this point as a country and the same with the woman on the bus. You heard almost nothing about it yeah just a random day, like when did this become? Just oh yeah, oh yeah, this happened all right, moving on, like what? Or you know the, the, the shooting that happened at the school in colorado. Like, yeah, you almost heard nothing about it, and it's like, and it become. When did death become political?
Speaker 5:oh yeah, well, everything's political these days.
Speaker 1:It's just sad. I feel bad for this generation that grows up in this and that this is the way that society thinks.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like you said, every American was together the day after. We united like never before.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and never since Right.
Speaker 1:And I've seen a post and that's what somebody put is the best way to honor 9-11 is to be the person you were on on 9-12 that's exactly right it's like man, that's so true churches were full, people were nice to each other, people were were proud of america, proud of their country, proud to be American.
Speaker 2:And one of the kind of cornerstones of what America was built on was this idea of everyone being uniquely different and having different ideas and different opinions. And it's come to the point where and I don't know, I want to stay as far from being political as I can, but a certain group of people are getting to the point where that's what they preach, but only but, and you have, you have to follow what they preach.
Speaker 5:Right, they're only inclusive to their group.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is non-inclusive actually. And it's gotten to the point to where a different belief has become a threat.
Speaker 4:Right Hate speech.
Speaker 5:That is a scary place to be. It's hate speech.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is so scary because one we can't back down because that that lets. And again, I don't agree with everybody. I'm not on either side, I'm on all sides. I want us all to agree, to disagree. I want us all to say we have a lot more in common than we do differently.
Speaker 5:Well, and that's that's where we've got to get to. Is a point to where we can say, ok, you believe this, I believe this. That's where we've got to get to. Is a point to where we can say, okay, you believe this, I believe this. That's fine. Yeah, let's hang out, let's not talk about that, right, we don't have to argue about it.
Speaker 1:And to be able to say, hey, what happened to someone that is of your same belief? That is sad. I'm sorry that happened. Right, how hard is that. How hard is that? Like, it really is just mind-blowing how we've gotten so far away from meeting in the middle. Yeah, you know, because these people that lost their life between it's like as soon as the thing happened at the school in Colorado, everybody found a way to okay, we've got to make this political. Okay, it's got to be about, you know, gun violence, and it's got to be about we need to. And political Okay, it's gotta be about you know, gun violence, and it's gotta be about we need to. And it's like, can we just mourn the loss of life that has happened? Yeah, can we just take a moment and say this should never have happened?
Speaker 5:Yeah, and there was also a shooting in Georgia at the military base down there.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, oh yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 5:Five soldiers shot. They weren't killed, but it was an active duty soldier that did it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I didn't even know that.
Speaker 5:Same day as Charlie Kirk got killed.
Speaker 1:And it's just like and I know it's all in your face all the time and we have phones and that's why it seems like this type of stuff happened all the time. Anyway, it just took longer to get to us through the news cycle. It just feels like. It feels so different now because, again, it's not the act, it's the reaction.
Speaker 2:Well, it's like back in 9-11 again. I wouldn't really know a whole lot because I was four and I don't remember a whole lot when I was four, but when that happened I'll just fall from the ceiling anyways. Uh, when that happened, you guys probably were, probably, you know, just thinking this is awful and whatever, whereas if some you know all these things are happening one you have, you have people that are it's just sick, they're celebrating this stuff, but then the grand majority of people like okay, what's the government distracting us from?
Speaker 1:right and and you can't even just and everything is focused on the two polarizing sides, as opposed to this is a person that has now lost their life in a, in not a multiple people that have lost their lives in senseless acts of violence for no reason.
Speaker 1:Yeah nothing, no reason like these aren't people that were doing something, this wasn't two people in a fight and one happened to die. This was a lady on a train, this was somebody debating and another side and this was kids at a school, right, nobody doing anything against anyone else like, and we can't even take a week, yeah, to say this is sad, it's just, it's very disheartening and I know that God is going to do. God is going to get the glory. He already is getting the glory through a lot of this People are coming back to him.
Speaker 1:People are seeing the darkness in the world and they're running towards the light. But I can't imagine being a parent of one of those children. I can't imagine being a sister or a brother to the woman on the bus. I can't imagine Charlie Kirk's wife and how she feels. I cannot fathom that. It is just that is all.
Speaker 1:I could think about is his two young girls right not getting to see their daddy again? All I could think about is the parents whose kids aren't coming home because they went to school that day, right like it is. Just it's crazy, man, and to know that there's people out there that don't feel that way is so sad yeah, well, it's it.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a spider, killed it. Sorry, I feel bad about killing it now what?
Speaker 5:the crap.
Speaker 2:Anyways, I'm not celebrating it, I'm celebrating my safety, excuse me. Anyways, I think I lost my train of thought a long time ago uh, oh gosh, no, I was saying it's uh, it's terrifying. You know just how, yeah, how desensitized we are in this era. You know, compared to you know 20, 30, 40 years ago you didn't really have to worry about sending your kids to school. Now you have to worry if you're going to get a phone call or alert that your school, that your children's school, is on lockdown because there's a shooter yeah oh and oh, dude.
Speaker 1:So we went to the 9-11 memorial in boston. Yeah, oh and oh, dude. So we went to the 9-11 memorial in boston. The entire time I'm looking around, I'm going this would be the the place. You got a bunch of people here, somebody trying to do something.
Speaker 1:So I'm literally on high alert the entire time just walking. I'm on high, I'm watching. I got jamie kind of in front of me and I'm walking because now you have to be on high alert all the time. Yeah, because just of stupidity. So it's like we can't even walk to the socks game without me like watching somebody coming up, going to walk. I'm watching what, what they're doing, where they're going, and it's like it's crazy that this is the world now that we live in. It's it's where it's like okay, now, what? Okay now you can't even go on a campus and debate without a bulletproof glass, or you can't send your kids to score. You can't sit in front of somebody on a bus without thinking something is going to happen. You know, and it's just. It's so sad, man, because we would ride bikes in the neighborhood until the lights came on on the street side.
Speaker 5:You know, that's what I've told. You know, jennifer, the town we live in. When I I lived there in elementary school yes, tyler was a long time ago, but I would ride bikes all over. Kennett is where I grew up, you know, and now we live in kennett, I would. I don't like my kids riding by their bikes in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1:Right yeah.
Speaker 5:So I mean you hear about all these kids getting snatched up and I mean it's just no. I mean it's a different world. It really is, and we have to.
Speaker 1:We have to stand up and be the light, not just stand up for what we believe. You can be right and be wrong, so you can be right and be wrong, so you can be right in your belief and wrong in your approach. Right, yeah, so we do. We have to be the light, not only standing on the truth, but standing on the truth with love. We still have to give these people an opportunity, because if we don't, we are, we are completely disregarding everything that Jesus stood for.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Everything that he stood for, to say, oh, these people are too far gone, now there's no coming back. This is changing everything, and now they are the enemy. Yeah, the same people that would say that is the same people that would say that when Paul had his conversion and came to Christ, oh, he can't, he was too far. No, no, if there is breath in their body, there is hope, we have to keep hope, because that's what I'm saying is a lot of people that are saying, no, now. Now, this is, this is the turn, this is, and, yes, it's a turning point. Yes, this is a moment in history that we will all remember. Yes, this is a time where I believe that people are about to really turn back to God. Yes, absolutely. But that doesn't have to mean the other side is just lost. It doesn't.
Speaker 2:I don't believe that.
Speaker 1:for a second, if you're convinced that, then the enemy's got a hold of you Right, the enemy's uh got a hold of you, right, it's like the enemy's convinced you or you become the enemy to that person, right, and it's a lot of prominent people and it's like, no, it is not okay now that this is a line that now has been drawn in the sand and there's no come. No, there is, there is hope for them to come back from this, right. Well, that's, that is the beauty of the gospel and that's like the other side of the coin.
Speaker 5:People are now saying well, the guy that shot charlie kirk needs to die.
Speaker 2:That's exactly the thinking that caused him to shoot charlie kirk in the first place riley gains had the out of the ones I've seen, the best response to, you know, him being uh in custody by police because and because utah police is seeking the death penalty for him, she said don't give him the death penalty, put him in prison or in wherever where he watches charlie kirk, everything's charlie oh gosh and and and she said and probably what charlie would have wanted out of that was hearing any time he spoke of the gospel or anything like that that his shooter turns to Jesus.
Speaker 1:Right, because this is the beautiful thing about the gospel and this is what it's hard to wrap your head around unless you're in it and you understand. The love of Jesus Is that we believe. Because of the way he lived, the way he spoke, the things that he proclaimed, charlie Kirk is now in the presence of our Lord the shooter. Were he to get the death penalty beforehand, truly repent, give his life to Christ, he will walk into heaven, being accepted by Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1:That is the gospel and he will do it with full love in his heart and glad he is there. That is the love of jesus that brings people to repentance. Yeah, like that is what the hope that we have to hold on to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and all this madness I, uh, I read I think it was a comment on a tiktok said if one person turned their life over to Jesus over Charlie's death and you asked Charlie if it was worth it, he'd say yes.
Speaker 1:Oh, absolutely. Yeah 100%, absolutely, because that's the whole point.
Speaker 5:That's why he did what he did.
Speaker 1:Right, right, that's why he was literally putting himself out there. Yeah, and that's the hope in all of this craziness. It doesn't make it okay, it doesn't make it good, but hopefully it's turning people back to jesus when they see all this evil in the world. When you see evil and you know it's there, you know there's another side to that. So when you see a school shooting, when you see a senseless murder, when you see all these things happen, you have to go okay, that is just evil, right. So there has to be a a opposite of that. So it's opening people up to that going. You know what, if there's evil, there has to be good. So it's opening them up to to seek out what is good. What is, you know? So I really I believe that hearts and lives are going to be changed.
Speaker 2:And this is a it's times in this or in tragedy and struggle, where the church really has to come together and be the church, yeah, church, yeah. Um, because I've I mean I've read comments of people, you know, on non-believers or people, uh not on the conservative side. You know, commenting like this is like just outlandish what happened and just they're amazed at seeing the churches not respond in anger but just respond in, in, in prayer and and worship and and just forgiveness really yeah, because that is that, that that will begin to change people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when they'll get they'll, they'll see, yeah, they'll they'll. People, yeah, when they'll get they'll, they'll see, yeah, they'll they'll. For even in that, they'll see that, uh, christians and believers have some kind of peace.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that even death cannot overcome, yeah yeah, and again, you, you go back to jesus in his final moments. Forgive them, for they know not what they're doing. They don't know what they're. They don't know what they're doing. They don't know what they're doing. He wasn't talking about the crew, like they had the crucifixion down to a science. They knew what they were doing. They knew how to crucify somebody. What he was saying is forgive them for the sin that they are committing. Forgive them for the acts of violence that they are now committing right now, in this moment.
Speaker 1:If they are now committing right now, in this moment, if we are to mirror that, we have to mirror that Period and to see some people that proclaim to be Christians not getting that and responding with nothing but anger. Be angry, be mad, be upset. This was dumb, it was stupid, it was senseless. All of these things Absolutely. But you have to lead with love, right? You have to give those that don't see things the way that we do an opportunity to see the things the way that we do. That is all that you can do to change. I think it was Martin Luther King that said you can't meet hate with hate. You have to love through it. You have to. This is what these men stood for, this is what these people stood for. You have to lead with love.
Speaker 2:I was telling, uh, one of our youth who's on, uh, our worship team, uh, she's, you know, struggling with, with you know she's super busy and and trying to figure things out and she's like, I know I want to be around at the church and also want to, you know, go do other things, but I'm not around my church people and I feel like I'm not, um, I feel like I'm going to be different if I'm not around my church people. And I kind of told her I was like you may be the closest thing to a bible that people see.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, the way you act is going to preach a lot louder than the word you say.
Speaker 2:Yep, for sure and yeah, that's, that's what the, that's what the church is doing right now is getting those people to open their eyes yeah, because the we react, people are going to see it. They're going to. They're going to wonder, because it's not human nature for something that tragic to happen and someone respond in forgiveness and love and peace. Yep.
Speaker 1:Yep. So just just pray. I'm just praying for our country to get through this, not to get over it, not to get over it, but to get through it and and be better on the other side. For, especially for I mean, y'all have two kids coming into the world. You've got kids that are growing up. I've got kids that are growing up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I don't want to see this world for them. I told Jamie I was like I've never wanted to move and live on a desert island more in my life and just move away and just unplug and get out of society and just live with my family. And it's like it's terrifying, man. It's terrifying not because we're scared of death. We know to live is Christ and to die is gain. The moment we take our last breath, we're in the presence of our Lord. That is a victory. But I just don't want my kids, I want them to see the world that I grew, the world of hope, the world of you. Know we were, you could be anything. Go and chase your dreams and it's just. It doesn't seem like that world anymore.
Speaker 2:No, it's more of a chase survival.
Speaker 1:Right, exactly, yeah, yeah. So it's hard conversations I have to have with with my kids and it's it's pretty rough.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean that's. That's a hard conversation for anyone to anyone. Yeah, it's, it's right, that hard conversation for anyone to anyone.
