Rather than follow our usual format for the Final Word, tonight we have the privilege of getting it from our good friend, John Ondrasik. The lead singer for Five for Fighting has put himself on the front lines of dangerous situations, first in Ukraine and then in Israel, to draw attention to the moral crises of our times.
This time, however, the front lines have come to John and his family and friends. John lives near the firestorms that have devastated Los Angeles, close enough that he has prepared to flee on a moment’s notice. He just returned from purchasing the emergency goods that he will need even if he can ride out this season of fire and failure, but especially so if he has to leave his home behind to whatever may come.
In the midst of all this, John graciously sat down with me for a half hour or so to discuss the catastrophe and what led to it….
