This week:
-Comedian bad boy turned spiritual guru turned podcaster Russel Brand announced he was getting baptized. This came after a viral video in January where Brand claimed Christianity. Many are questioning the legitimacy of his faith and the orthodoxy of his beliefs. We will take a close look and see where we should land on Russel’s BRAND new faith…
-In 2019, Kanye West went public with his faith in Jesus. He began hosting Sunday Services on his property and made an entire album titled “Jesus Is King.” Now, Kanye says he has some “problems with Jesus” since so many things went wrong in his life. Far from working on another Christian album, Kanye is now planning on starting an adult film studio! All this may lead you to ask, “Is Ye still a Christian?”
-The Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit against a large convenience store chain named SHEETZ - alleging they have “violated federal law by denying employment to a class of job applicants because of their race. This obviously serious allegation is brought into question, though, when the next paragraph explains, “ Sheetz has maintained a longstanding practice of screening all job applicants for records of criminal conviction and then denying them employment based on those records.” We will look at what this frivolous lawsuit says about our current culture.
-And one look at the most boring viral video of all time! A TikToker named @hubs.life shares videos “normalizing the norm.” These videos show him getting ready for a steady 9-5 job, taking out the trash, working, eating lunch, and a bunch of other COMPLETELY NORMAL things! His content has caused a rift in the generations, with Millenials and Zoomers comparing his routine to a life sentence while Gen-X and Boomers applaud his consistency and hard work. Which side is seeing this clearly?!
