Alex Pretti's Killing and Not Letting Rage Win
Podcast: The Esau McCaulley PodcastPublished On: Thu Jan 29 2026
Description: The killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis has become another moment where violence, misinformation, and political certainty collide. As video evidence contradicts official narratives, Esau, Malcolm Foley, and Mike wrestle with what this death reveals about power, propaganda, and the erosion of public trust. Then the three discuss Esau's recent article for the New York Times to ask a harder question: how do Christians name injustice without being consumed by rage? What does faithful witness look like when anger feels justified but spiritually dangerous? 0:00 - Theme Song 1:10 - American Girl Doll Nostalgia 9:36 - Dark New Normal 14:45 - Justifying Violence with "Woke" Accusations 23:52 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.
