With the death penalty in the headlines, Justin and G5 talk about how God sees life, death, and justice. Every person carries the image of God, from the best of us to the worst. What does that mean for how Christians respond to execution, murder, and punishment?

They look at capital punishment in the Old Law, the cities of refuge, Romans 13 and the role of government, and Jesus showing mercy to the woman caught in adultery. They also go to the verses where God says plainly that He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked and would rather they turn from their ways and live. The conversation covers dehumanization, the danger of celebrating death, and how repentance, mercy, and the hope of eternal life change the way we see everyone, including the people we find hardest to forgive.

Scriptures: Genesis 1:27, Genesis 9:6, Numbers 35, Romans 13:1–4, 1 Peter 2, John 8:1–11, Matthew 26:52, Ezekiel 18:23, Ezekiel 33:11, Luke 13:1–5, Matthew 6:19–20, Matthew 7:1–2, John 14:6, 1 Timothy 1:15–16

Minutes after being baptized, Evan sits down still dripping wet to talk about the journey that led him there. He opens up about growing up with infant baptism and thinking he was already "covered," a brutal burnout semester at Texas Tech studying mechanical engineering, and the moment in a car ride that finally made it click. Justin and G5 unpack what scripture actually says about baptism and why declaring your faith for yourself matters. If you have questions about faith or baptism, email us — details below.

Ricky Jenkins — 47 years into preaching, currently at Campbell Road Church of Christ in Garland, TX — sits down with Justin and G5 to talk about how he "fell into" a life he swore he'd never choose, growing up as a preacher's kid, and what it took to finally love the work. The conversation turns to a candid, wide-ranging discussion of biblical manhood: the caricature of masculinity sold by online figures who demean women in the name of strength, versus a Christlike model of love "proven by action and measured by sacrifice." Ricky closes with a memorable answer on what it means to go the extra mile — giving preference and honor to others before yourself.
