  • HW Brands on the Patriarch of America

    HW Brands on the Patriarch of America
    May 13 2026
    What does it mean to call someone the “father” of a nation—and what happens when that father is more complicated than legend allows? Watch this conversation on YouTube . Russell welcomes renowned historian H.W. Brands for a conversation on his newest book, American Patriarch: The Life of George Washington. Washington was a man formed by ambition and concern for character, but from the myth of praying at Valley Forge to the quiet realities of Washington’s faith, his life is often incorrectly perceived through a filter of our modern era. The truth about his leadership and life has more nuance than we realize. Brands helps uncover a leader who believed in providence but resisted religious spectacle, who embodied authority not through charisma but through consistency. And perhaps most strikingly, a man who understood power well enough to walk away from it. But the conversation isn’t just about the past, It’s about the kind of leadership we recognize in the present (and the kind we are missing). In an age marked by distrust in institutions and suspicion of motives, Washington’s example raises uncomfortable questions we should reckon well with: Can character still command respect? Can authority still be earned rather than performed? And are we even looking for the kind of leaders who would rather leave than stay?

  • Amy Grant on New Music After a Decade

    Amy Grant on New Music After a Decade
    May 6 2026
    Russell overcomes nerves while welcoming musical artist, songwriter, and overall legend Amy Grant. Watch this video on Youtube. Amy Grant and Russell sit down in Charlie Peacock’s home to talk about her first album in over a decade, The Me That Remains (out May 8). The conversation starts with Russell’s admission that Amy’s was his first concert as a middle school youth group student. From there, Grant reflects on the aftermath of a serious bike accident, the strange disorientation of memory loss, and the rediscovery of songwriting in the midst of an ongoing, strenuous tour schedule. Along the way, the conversation turns to the inner critic that follows all of us, the spiritual weight of suffering, the possibility of grace in a fractured world, and the artwork surrounding the record from Nashville artist Wayne Brezinka. This is a story about legacy, growth, and the healing that comes…somewhere down the road.
