โ๏ธ SEGMENT 01 โ THEOLOGY OPEN: who guides you when the guide is gone
Open on the question under the whole show. Not an abstract one this week โ Adam is living it, and Scripture has more to say about a transition forced by a death than most people realise.
๐ WHEN THE TRANSITION BEGINS WITH A DEATH โ the closest parallel in Scripture
๐ CALLED OUT BEFORE THE DESTINATION IS SHOWN โ the land is never named. He is told to go first and shown second.
๐ THE IN-BETWEEN, WHEN THE ROAD IS NOT CLEAR
๐ THE NEW THING
๐ ASSURANCE FOR THE ONE WALKING IT
๐ DEVOTIONAL โ Krish Dhanam on 1 Corinthians 10:13 (from PREP, verbatim)
๐ GALATIANS 1:8, 10 โ whose approval are you working for (from PREP)

๐ค [CLIPS 03-A/B/C/D] SEGMENT 03 โ THE MACHINE ASKS FOR THE PASTORโS JOB: Rev. Walter Kim on AI
The worldโs answer to Segment 01. Rev. Walter Kim, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, went on CNBC off the back of a Wall Street Journal op-ed arguing AI is outrunning its guardrails. Joe Kernen takes him somewhere more interesting than policy.
CONTEXT: Rev. Walter Kim, President of the National Association of Evangelicals, interviewed by Joe Kernen on CNBC Squawk Box, 22 July 2026, pegged to Kimโs Wall Street Journal op-ed. Four clips, sequential โ 03A sets it up, 03B is the theological core.

๐ธ [CLIPS 04-A/B/C/D/E] SEGMENT 04 โ THAT DOES NOT COMPUTE: a 1965 robot says the quiet part
The lighter turn, and the sharpest one. Sixty years ago a family show wrote a machine that hallucinates, refuses orders, disclaims responsibility for its own outputs and gets its memory banks contaminated. Every failure mode we are now discovering, played for laughs in 1966.
CONTEXT: The B-9 environmental control robot from Lost in Space (CBS, 1965-68), voiced by Dick Tufeld. ARCHIVAL โ deliberately 60 years outside the freshness rule; the age is the argument. Sources: MeTVโs โBest of Robotโ compilation (04A-04D) and the season-two episode where the robot is fed liquor (04E).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
๐ [CLIPS 05-A/B] SEGMENT 05 โ WHEN THE GUIDE WAS MANAGING YOU: the Fauci emails
The cost of trusting the wrong guide. Joe Kernen puts it to Scott Gottlieb โ a man who defended Fauci for years โ and Gottlieb does not defend him.
CONTEXT: Joe Kernen and Dr. Scott Gottlieb, CNBC Squawk Box, surfaced via The Chief Nerd, 27 July 2026. Pegged to Rand Paulโs release of Fauci emails ahead of a Wednesday hearing โ which is today.

Good Morning Adam & Jimmy,
Thanks for another great show!
Sounds like it may be time for a little more Pickle V4V? If that does happen, please DONโT send me more money this time.๐ However, I would like to ask that you use some of the pickles (and the label on the jar) to start conversations about the love of God and Jesus. (Donโt just sit on the couch and hog ALL the pickles for yourself.)๐ท
Adam, Iโm with-you in what you referred to as your โtransitionโ (a conscious move away from a comfortable established identity that youโre so proud of that it starts to border on being kind of an idol.) I lived that out about 7 years ago in my own life. Too long of a story to share here. Just wanted to tell you that I think I understand exactly what youโre talking about. ITGFYC (I thank God for your courage.)
Now to set the record straight. Jodie White and I are NOT married. She is happily married to Ray (an extraordinary model of all-around self-reliant outdoorsmanship and mobile equipment knowledge. I on the other hand, am uncompromisingly devoted to Angie (my smoking hot wife of 32 memory-filled years of blissโฆand we never had a fight ๐). Jodie and I have simply worked together for various manufacturing companies for a REALLY long time. Though some have referred to Jodie as my โwork wife,โ think Jodie and Ray agreed recently that they preferred to think of me as โJodieโs work girlfriend!โ ๐
Love you guys.
Keep it up!

Hey Adam and Jimmy, I tried to find a recurring donation link on the PayPal page but didn't see one. Is this forthcoming or did I overlook it?
