We step back from social media for Lent, reconnect with Star Trek’s mid-series arc, and tackle hard views on Iran, culture, and how faith is framed on TV. A veteran lens meets pop culture, policy frustration, and a call to search for meaning beyond the feed.

• Lent restriction on political posts and less scrolling
• Watching Star Trek III to understand IV’s setup
• Veteran take on Iraq lessons and Iran stance
• Frustration with media spin and clickbait outrage
• Concerns about Gen Z attention and education
• Immigration anger and crime headlines
• Preference for older TV and storytelling craft
• Critique of anti-Christian stereotypes in media
• Catholic practice as anchor during cultural noise
• Invitation for listener feedback and dialogue
