Kirk, Canada, and how we get to dark places

In this episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on Sept. 12th, 2025, Rob Breakenridge joins Matt from Calgary, filling in for Jen Gerson, who is on assignment out of town. The two men acknowledge — but deliberately steer away from — the emerging details of the rapidly unfolding Charlie Kirk assassination investigation. Instead, they focus on the bigger picture: the mood, the vibes, and why so many people on both sides of the border seem to be bracing for some kind of civil conflict against a vaguely defined “them.” Neither is certain how Canada, or the United States, can pull back from this trajectory. Or if people really even want to. This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Universities Canada. Canada has promised millions of new homes, shorter waits in health care and stronger defence. But promises don't design and engineer roads, staff clinics or secure networks — people do. That's why we need a clear, coordinated system to attract and retain the world's best talent, while creating more opportunities for Canadians. The best and brightest should always see Canadian universities as their first choice. It's time to put talent at the centre of Canada's priorities. The path forward starts with training people — and Canada's world-class universities are ready to lead the way.To learn more, visit Univcan.ca.After that, they turn to issues closer to home. The Carney government has officially launched its Major Projects Office and revealed the first programs slated for elevation. Rob breaks down what's on the agenda and why, despite the office not explicitly mentioning a pipeline, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has responded positively. Matt, meanwhile, shares the part of the announcement he found oddly amusing — but also despair-inducing — in the way it revealed deeper national challenges. Both men agree that it might be better to just fix the problems with approvals, rather than creating a new, special unit that gives a few chosen projections the efficient treatment, while everything else suffers. Matt quips that this is Canadian health-care-style thinking applied to permit approvals. Should go fine.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canadian forestry supports 200,000 workers, generates $87 billion in annual revenue, contributes $21 billion annually to our nation's economy, and provides the products we need to build homes and drive economic growth. While trade barriers from the U.S. are siphoning jobs and investment away, Canada's own approval processes and regulations are preventing critical projects that both prevent wildfires and boost our economic self-reliance.We can and should have programs that expand domestic wood use, advance biomass use and pulp market opportunities, and cut red tape and regulatory barriers. The government of Canada has a clear opportunity to stand up for Canadian forestry at a time of growing global uncertainty. We need real action that puts Canadians first — supporting employees and their families, securing stability for our businesses, and protecting the long-term potential of our sector and its people. To learn more, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.Finally, Matt and Rob interview each other about their latest Line columns. Rob walks listeners through his piece on Alberta's book ban that badly backfired, while Matt explains why he thinks Canadians are rightfully losing faith in their own safety — and why that needs to change if Canada is to avoid sliding down the same dangerous path already visible in the United States.Cheerful stuff, eh?

Scripture Reading and Introduction 2 Corinthians 11:16-33 read. Paul's boasting not of the Lord, but foolishly. Details of Paul's suffering: stripes, imprisonment, shipwrecks, perils, weariness, hunger, and concern for the churches. Paul's escape from Damascus. Thankfulness for the opportunity to be present and receive what the Lord has to offer. Acknowledging uncertainty about the direction of the message but trusting in the Lord's guidance. The Song: "Sweet Things Out of Dark Places" A song has been implanted in the soul for about a month. The song's message is particularly relevant given the current trials and tribulations. The song's lyrics: Wanting to know Him better and walk closer. Willingness to suffer for a clearer vision in the valley. Sweet things and heavenly light emerging from dark places. A sweeter touch and deeper love from Him. Brokenness leading to precious words and a revelation of God's glory. The sweetness of darkness when the Father is near. Apostle Paul as an Example Paul as an example of someone in darkness who gloried in his infirmities. Dark places are common, with trials and heartaches affecting many. Comfort in knowing that darkness is temporary and light will come through Jesus Christ. Excitement to share what the Lord has revealed. Dark valleys as a recurring experience. The tendency to let challenges slow down or derail progress. Sweetness emerging from dark places. Recalling the darkness before finding Jesus Christ. Blindness and a misguided pursuit of worldly pleasures. Realization of being disliked by others due to negative behaviors. Sweetness found in a calling from God. A calling once abandoned for two years. The joy and fulfillment experienced when fulfilling that calling. Feeling God's presence and glory while serving Him. Light replacing darkness. Paul's intelligence and upbringing, yet not glorying in himself. Paul's apostleship not of man but by Jesus Christ and God. Galatians 1:1 referenced. Contrast with the replacement of Judas through casting lots. Caution against boasting in what God is doing in one's life. Gratitude for God's grace and what He has done. Boasting only in Jesus Christ and His work. Sweetness will come if one sticks to it. Paul's perilous situations and distress, yet glorying in infirmities. Glorying in Infirmities A personal anecdote about waking up to a car that wouldn't start. Initial reaction of worry and frustration. Failure to glory in infirmities. Even in darkness, God provides a way for light to shine. Paul's suffering: whippings, beatings, shipwrecks, and betrayal. Choosing to glory in infirmities and taking pleasure in knowing Jesus Christ is present. Not bragging about success. Paul preached to kings. Paul started about 20 churches. Paul did not want credit for those things. Paul wrote 13 books of the Bible. Paul did not boast about writing 13 books. Paul preached for around 30 years. Paul saw a vision of the third heaven. Paul did not boast about the vision. Inability to thank God for bad things happening. Admitting the difficulty of willingly enduring suffering. The problem of thinking one shouldn't have to deal with suffering. Paul as second only to Jesus Christ in contributions to the Christian community. Paul confronted Peter for not associating with Gentiles. Philippians 3:7-14 Philippians 3:7-14 referenced. Counting past gains as loss for Christ. Suffering the loss of all things to win Christ. Counting worldly things as dung. Seeking righteousness through faith in Christ. Knowing Him and the power of His resurrection. Fellowship of His sufferings. Pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Forsaking the world. Not advocating quitting one's job but providing for oneself.

Last week, Dawn and I opened up a side of our relationship we've kept private for years—and the response was overwhelming. After announcing Dawn's OnlyFans and that we were sharing the intimate side of our dynamic publicly for those who wanted to witness it, we received incredible encouragement, some honest questions, and a little judgment. In this episode, I reflect on what this experience has taught me about risk, freedom, love, and masculinity. I share the first email we received just two minutes after our announcement, why 98% of the feedback was positive, and what the 2% of negative responses reveal about illusion, expectation, and control. We'll talk about: • Why listening to the body's wisdom is the foundation of every big decision • The question that sparked a conversation about masculinity and freedom Why defending Dawn's freedom isn't passive—it's the deepest form of devotion What men had to say about this decision that might surprise you • Why almost 80% of our initial OnlyFans subscribers were women—and what that means • How projection, judgment, and control destroy intimacy Whether you agree with our choices or not, this episode isn't about convincing you. It's about showing what's possible when you stop living for approval and start living in truth. ⸻ Links & Mentions: • Listen to last week's episode with Dawn for the full backstory • Connect with us on Instagram @_infinitedevotion • See inside the spicy side of our D/s dynamic at https://dawnofdesire.net • Explore resources for building deeper intimacy and freedom in your relationship at https://infinitedevotion.com

“God whispers in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” - C.S. Lewis.   Jackie Newell, from our community group in Tupelo, Mississippi, grew up in church and knew from an early age that Jesus was her Savior. However, it wasn't until she experienced devastating tragedy and loss that God became real to her as she immersed herself in Scripture and was faced with the fact that she either believed God's Word or she didn't. Jackie's unwavering faith in a Father Who shines brightest in our darkest places will encourage you to look for God's presence and see life from an eternal perspective.   IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: - It is important to remember in the darkest moments of life what you believed in the light. - In tragedy, you can either wallow in your loss or believe God has something for your future. - God did not give you a spirit of fear - He has called you to a life of freedom!   Links:   Listen to a similar story: Ep. 270- Lauren:  “Peeling My Shame Away”   Give to StoryTellers Live in honor of Jackie and our past storytellers.   Become a Patreon Insider to access bonus content.   Register for our Finding God in the Details: A Guide to Discerning His Voice and Discovering Your Story workshop being offered online on July 8th, 9:30-11:30 AM CST, and in-person on August 20th, 10:00-12:45 PM CST.

Sometimes, when we look at our world, it seems as if evil is winning. Such thinking has the potential to sideline us and leave us feeling defeated. Scripture, however, assures us of three unshakable truths: All the forces of darkness combined will not and cannot extinguish God's light, His children bring His light with them into every encounter, and He will empower the willing heart to dramatically impact our world for generations to come. In this episode, join host Jennifer Slattery as she talks with Dr. Romney Ruder, president of Lifeline Global Ministries, who God is using, along with his ministry, to radically transform some of the "hardest" hearts in the United States while breaking generational patterns of trauma and incarceration that leave wounded children at significant risk for future incarceration. What if the next revival breaks out in our prisons? How might this change at risk families and youth, our communities, and our nation? (Scroll down for discussion questions.)

Send us a textWhat drives someone to build a full-sized airplane in their basement? The same thing that makes us question insurance company CEOs, contemplate multiverses, or find reasons to stay alive during our darkest moments – the search for meaning.From the moment we descend into Dylan's basement workshop, surrounded by airplane parts and half-finished projects, this episode takes us on a journey through the things we build to outlast ourselves. Dylan's four-seater aircraft isn't just a hobby; it's a legacy he hopes his grandchildren will inherit (though he jokes they might use it to end his family line). This ambitious project, planned for completion in 2026, becomes a metaphor for purpose throughout our conversation.We pivot to discuss the recent shooting of a United Healthcare CEO, noting the strangely muted public reaction compared to other violent events. Digging deeper, we explore how the insurance industry's high denial rates (United's exceeds 30%) and massive profit margins have created a system where essential care becomes a business decision. This leads us to question how regulated industries often lack the competitive pressures that might otherwise force better practices.The most profound moments come when we share personal insights about mental health and suicide prevention. Referencing philosopher Albert Camus, we contemplate his assertion that deciding whether life is worth living is the only serious philosophical problem. What emerges is a surprisingly hopeful perspective: perhaps if we could see our lives as our own sitcoms – free from others' expectations and judgments – we might find more reasons to stick around and see what happens next.Whether you're building an airplane, questioning corporate ethics, or simply trying to find your purpose, this episode offers raw, unfiltered perspective on what makes a life worth living. Join us as we navigate these complex territories with humor, vulnerability, and occasional detours into carpeting ceilings and fitted sheet frustrations.
