Send us a text by clicking this link!The world before September 11 felt slower, smaller, and oddly harder to explain to anyone who didn’t live it. We’re not just talking about flip phones and dial-up, but the way information moved, the way rumors spread, and the way a single day could lock an entire country to the television like it was the only window to reality. We share where we were when the towers were hit, what we saw from New York, and what it felt like trying to reach the people we loved when networks went down and the city shut its doors. From there, we follow the aftershocks: the blackouts, the anthrax scares, the rise of the 24-hour news cycle, and the emotional stampede into the War on Terror. We also wrestle with why doubt persists for some people, including how footage replays, controversial TV clips, and long-running claims about timing and collapses keep resurfacing every 9/11 anniversary. Our goal is not to turn grief into entertainment, but to talk honestly about memory, media literacy, and why “trust the narrative” became such a loaded demand after a national trauma. We end by tracing the line from 9/11 to Iraq, “shock and awe,” and the political world we’re living in now, where suspicion is common and unity feels rare. If you care about September 11 history, World Trade Center remembrance, Building 7 debates, or how propaganda and polarization take root, this conversation will give you a lot to think about.

False Assurance Runaway Planet Media Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?” Then I will tell them plainly, "I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!” - Jesus (Matt. 7:21-23) Over 85% of Americans believe in God and think they are going to go to Heaven when they die. Is this confidence warranted? Given the moral condition of our culture and Jesus’s stern warnings about being ill-prepared for his coming, I don't think so. From a biblical perspective, it seems many people are walking around with a false assurance of salvation. Avoiding that is what this series is about. In it we walk through ten characteristics of people who are ill prepared to face eternity. The Babylon Bee The Babylon Bee This is the official, authoritative, inspired podcast of the Babylon Bee.
