- Learning to treat his music career like a business
- How he and his wife divide responsibilities and stay in their lanes
- Why he warns Christian families not to send their kids to public school

- The Black Lives Matter riots in his hometown of Kenosha, Wisconsin
- Woke ideology infiltrating Chrstian church leadership
