News Break
Welcome to The WizeGuys, a podcast where we unleash the unthinkable and step over the line to help us see things differently, and stimulate new thinking and new realities that plant a promise, an alternative, and an energized hope. We might even answer some questions you hadn’t thought to ask!
Hi, I’m Mac, your host. In this episode, we’re going to have some fun applying our Wizeguy perspectives of maverick, mystic, and mentor to some of the current news headlines.
Here's the headlines we discussed:
"Passenger ordered to pay more than $5,000 in fuel costs after flight diverted due to bad behavior." https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/13/travel/australian-airline-passenger-fine-cost-fuel-intl-hnk/index.html
Key point: Kudos for applying consequences to bad behavior.
Will Your Presidential Vote Send You to Hell? https://www.christianitytoday.com/2024/09/presidential-vote-send-hell-russell-moore-2024-election/
Key point: This kind of perspective distorts both politics and how we view God.
'It just exploded': Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians.
Key point: Donald Trump was irresponsible when he made this statement during the debate as false rumors spread and there are always victims associated with disparaging remarks. We need to guard our own tongues.
9/11 victims deserve transparency. Not a plea deal with terrorists.
Key point: What does justice mean to you? When we hang on to wrongs expecting satisfactory justice it deadens our spirit and leaves us empty.
