It’s a brand new year, and with it comes the start of a new career path. In this episode, TK reflects on what it really means to have a career—or to be on a career path at all. For some people, that path is clear from a young age. For others, it takes years to discover, and sometimes it unfolds in ways they never expected. Many find themselves in careers they didn’t plan on, only to realize they genuinely enjoy the work and the direction it’s taken them.

This conversation explores those different journeys and the idea that there’s no single “right” timeline when it comes to figuring out what you want to do. TK shares where they currently are in their own journey—standing at the beginning of something new, looking ahead, and reflecting on how experience, timing, and unexpected opportunities shape our professional lives. This episode is about growth, change, and embracing the uncertainty that often comes with starting over or stepping into a new chapter.

In my most recent podcast episode, I explore why Christians really celebrate Christmas—and I challenge the version of the story most of us have grown up accepting. I share my personal perspective and what I believe the Holy Spirit has revealed to me about the origins of many Christmas traditions we now treat as sacred or harmless.

I wrestle with the question of whether Christmas, as it’s currently practiced, is truly about celebrating the birth of Jesus—or whether it has slowly become something else entirely. I examine how cultural traditions, consumerism, and constant messaging have reshaped the holiday, and I ask whether what we celebrate today aligns with what we think we’re celebrating.

I also touch on a more uncomfortable idea: whether modern Christmas functions as a kind of mass indoctrination, subtly conditioning us—through technology, algorithms, and economic pressure—to spend, consume, and conform, rather than reflect, worship, and discern. Is this merely coincidence, or is there a system at work that benefits from distraction and excess?

This episode isn’t about giving definitive answers—it’s about asking better questions, inviting discernment, and encouraging listeners to step back and honestly examine their hearts, their traditions, and the spirit behind what they celebrate each year.

In this episode, I dive into the question of when kids should really start playing sports—and more importantly, when it’s actually healthy to push them competitively. I talk about how a lot of children only play because they want to please their parents, while others genuinely love the competition and want to win. I compare the differences between those motivations and break down the contrast between encouragement and pressure. Ultimately, I’m asking: at what age is it truly appropriate to start shaping kids into competitive athletes, and how do we know when they’re ready?

As some turn to robbery out of desperation, others across the globe survive on a single meal a day—or less. TK exposes the stark contrast between American struggle and global hunger, questioning how society became so self-absorbed that empathy took a back seat.
