Today, we're starting off with news of the tragic school shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia. We explain the heartbreaking details and give some thoughts on how we can find comfort in the Lord in the midst of tragedy. Then, what really goes on at the infamous Burning Man, and why does it matter? Burning Man 2024 just ended, and we break down the festival's pagan roots and why it's yet another example of man's desperate need for meaning and for God. We look at some of the gross activities allowed at Burning Man and explain the parallels to idol worship in the Bible.
