Badlands MediaIn Episode 32 of The Narrative, Burning Bright and Alpha Warrior shift focus from decoding the storm to building through it.

The Narrative Ep. 31: Panic in DC.
Badlands MediaIn this episode of The Narrative, Burning Bright and Jordan Sather peel back the prophetic and political layers behind the recent red heifer headlines.

The Narrative Ep. 29: Of Founders and Foundations
Badlands MediaIn this episode of The Narrative, Burning Bright and Brad Zerbo take a thoughtful journey through America's origins and its modern crossroads. The hosts reflect on how Donald Trump’s recent rhetoric has invoked the Founding Fathers and the spirit of independence, sparking discussion about whether today’s political realignment could mirror the original revolutionary ethos.

The conversation also grapples with the difference between ideological branding and authentic principle, raising questions about conservatism, liberalism, and the drift of institutions.
