Chapter 1: What is the Supreme Court loophole allowing Jesus back in schools?
I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to Unashamed. Welcome back. You sound like you're in a tunnel, Al. I apologize right off the bat. We have literally had duct tape and bailing wire to get me on air today coming from the Southern Lair. My computer is having to update something. Maddie's having to talk me through it. Lisa's here. It's just a disaster. But we're here.
We're going to do our best to try to get you unashamed today. Zach, are you with us? Can I hear you?
I'm here. I'm here, ready to go. Jace seems like he's comfortable.
I'm as comfortable as I've ever been. I actually took a siesta before we began.
I had a long weekend. So did I. Where did you go, Jace?
You know what? I had an event in my hometown, or right next to it. We technically live in West Monroe.
It showed up on my Instagram feed as a promotion, so I was going to come, but it was an 11-hour drive, so I couldn't make it.
You had a promotion show up on your Instagram feed? I don't know what all that means, but here's what I did. I went to ULM Friday night, and I actually spoke to the football team.
And they won.

Chapter 2: How can Bible education be provided in public schools?
He fought injustice and he healed the sick and showed he had the power to right wrongs and things. Everything can be all right, and we just went down that journey, you know, and he kept meeting opposition, and he kept meeting resistance, even from religious people, and he just kept going. He wound up in front of the Roman authorities, and they're like, okay, that's it.
We're fixed to kill you, and they did. And three days later, we experienced the greatest comeback ever. And we're still talking about it 2,000 years later in Monroe, Louisiana at ULM. So it was just crickets.
That's good.
I tell you that story. Of course, then I tied that in to the new creation that you can experience that, and technically you can become part of that comeback in your own life. It's called a new creation. I thought it was packaged pretty well. So I tell you that story because it's 2814, and now all of a sudden people have stopped ignoring me. Because I've been positive the whole time. He was 28.
No, I'm like, here we go. Let's go. Never say die. But I didn't want to bring up the greatest comeback ever. And that defensive end after they stopped him, the next time after we scored, three and out. He come off the field and he said, the greatest comeback ever. And I thought, yes. Because even if we don't come back, he has that in his brain. Yeah. About Jesus.
And, of course, the next play we threw an interception. And that pretty well ended that comeback. However. The analogy blew up at that point. No, it really did. I'm saying things happen. Difficulty is going to come your way. I talked to the team about the greatest comeback ever. And then I talked about transformation. And I talked about maturity. And I'm like, this is not easy.

Chapter 3: What are the consequences of removing Christian values from schools?
And when I said that about the greatest comeback ever, I said, now you may think, what does that have to do with football? And I said, not much. But I'll tell you this, does the actual football have a lot to do with what's happening in football? Crickets. They're like, what? What did he say? I was like, this is not about football. This is about a group of men coming together to fight as one.
A football is involved, but you're playing another group of men who are trying to come together and fighting as one.
It is as close to a fight as you can get, and sometimes it boils over into a fight. We're at Bear's football game. He had a football game on Saturday because all the schedules are messed up here in western North Carolina because of the storm. So they had a game, and when I tell you they lost in the last few seconds of the game, I mean, it was down to the last minute, and they lost.
And then during the transition period where they – shake the hands, a real fight breaks out. So we got to witness a high school football brawl on Saturday. So sometimes it can boil over into an actual fight, but they probably could have heard, I might need to bring you up here, Jace, to give that same lesson To these young high school boys. They may, they may need to hear that.
Well, I mean, it may not mean you're going to win, obviously. I mean, I got the coin toss, right. And I got the resurrection, right. But we still lost. However, I'm like, you know, it, it kind of goes to your defining winning. And it's not going to happen. To go back to who I'm now affectionately calling Old Big One, the right tackle, Colton, it's like win or lose.
I mean, they won, and he was like, win or lose. Glory to God, here we go. I mean, I'm like, okay, yeah. But there's a difference in someone's perspective once they become a new creation.
Chase, you are a spiritual Newt Rodney. That's what you are. You're the old gipper. You're the one that gets them fired up, but all about spiritual matters. And you're using football as your launching pad. I like it. I think you could do this across the fruited plains. This could be your new thing. It may have legs. It may have legs.
So what's crazy, so we did that, which I'd had a bad sinus infection. So I figured out one of the worst things you can go do is stand in the pouring down rain for four hours.
Yeah, not a good combo.

Chapter 4: How does Jase connect football and faith in his speeches?
Well, it was a lot of college age, a lot of high school, some junior high. And so we just decided to stay, which is usually, you know, when you go to an event, which resulted in a lot of pictures and all. But I did something different last night. So because they once the dam broke on that after it was over, I thought, I think I'd rather have Jesus conversations than take pictures.
So everybody came up, they said, well, you, can we take a picture? And I was like, are you fired up for Jesus? They were like, yeah. I was like, that's the price of the picture. And so then look, you know what? It actually broke the ice, that little funny conversation. And, uh,
I'm way more excited about what's fixed to happen in this area after those conversations with young people who are ready to go on offense. That was kind of a theme that I did after the book of John. Yeah. That we're going to have the spread offense going forward, and we're not going to worry too much about defense at this stage.
I was like, the churches can handle that because they're trying to get you to not do stuff. Don't do this. Don't do that. I was like, I'm presenting the offense. Let's go declare Jesus. There will be resistance.
Well, that's the Colossians text we're in. It's not the defense. It's an offense found in Christ.
Exactly. It's crazy. That's exactly what I was thinking. So there's your segue to Colossians, Al.
I just made the greatest segue ever.
Yeah, that's pretty good, Zach. You're the segue king. I was actually on a college campus myself. I was at Kentucky Christian University, Jason, when you were at our local university at ULM.
Not Kentucky University, Kentucky Christian University.
