How do you know who to trust in today's media landscape — even on the conservative side? This Friday Culture Review episode tackles that question head-on as Pastor Stephen Martin, Pastor Nathan Brown, and Pastor Daniel Hayworth bring biblical wisdom to the week's most important headlines.

The episode opens with a critical look at Joe Kent, the former head of counterterrorism who resigned under investigation for leaking classified information and has now offered to testify in defense of Tyler Robinson — the assassin of Charlie Kirk. The pastors unpack what this betrayal reveals about honor, loyalty, and the dangerous pattern of influencers who claim to be "America First" while serving themselves. Pastor Daniel delivers a powerful challenge: "Where's the honor? You were given a position to serve your nation, and instead you've chosen to serve yourself."
