The Lure of Danger and the Price of Achievement
Episode 17
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026

This is Empires of the Future, conversations to encourage the Church in a time of change. The Lure of Danger and the Price of Achievement Alex Honnold is a name some of us have come to know in the past few years for his death-defying climbs of both man-made and natural wonders. His "free solo" climb of natural wonder El Capitan with no safety gear leads us to ask important questions about danger, challenge, and achievement, while also considering sports of various kinds and how they fit into a life well-lived. We use Rusty McKie's article at the Gospel Coalition as a reference point. https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/achieve-die-reflections-free-solo/ "The Empires of the future will be Empires of the Mind." - Winston Churchill
