The King on the Donkey

from Between Bread and Stone · host Stephen R. Brewer, PsyD

America turned 250 with a cage fight, a plywood fair, thin crowds, AI presidents, and an AI-generated multitude where a real one should have been. Episode 60, “The King on the Donkey,” sits with Zechariah’s humble king and Jesus’ promise of a light yoke, then asks what kind of power Christians are actually willing to worship. Paul is imagined at the fairgrounds. Christ appears as the lone audience for a children’s band. Somewhere between Brawndo, melted ice cream, and the man who refuses the throne, the Gospel starts telling the truth. You are welcome here.
