Is peace between Israel and Hamas imminent? Apr 30, 2024

Show notes

“In this moment the only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire is Hamas.” This is how US Secretary of State Antony Blinken described a ceasefire proposal that he called “extraordinarily generous on the part of Israel.” As Israel and Hamas potentially approach a ceasefire, campus protesters around the country are ramping up with militant demands for change, but the only change that will truly affect the world is the one Christ makes in us.

Show notes

Nearly nine hundred protesters have been arrested on US campuses in recent days, about 275 of them on Saturday.

Harvey Weinstein’s conviction for sex crimes overturned Apr 26, 2024

Show notes

Yesterday morning, New York’s highest court of appeals decided to overturn Harvey Weinstein’s 2017 convictions of multiple sex crimes. The conviction had started the #metoo movement and changed the conversation around how we handle such allegations. When sin turns our stomachs and makes us long for justice, we have a choice on how we process this with others, either in confrontation or conversation.

The Department of Education has unilaterally expanded Title IX of the Civil Rights code’s discrimination protections to include “sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity.” The new regulations also require K–12 schools to accept a child’s gender identity regardless of their biological sex and without providing notice to, or seeking approval from, the child’s parents.

Protesters at Columbia University want Hamas to “burn Tel Aviv to the ground” Apr 24, 2024

Show notes

Since Hamas terrorists murdered an estimated 1,200 men, women, and children in Israel last October 7, antisemitism has escalated dramatically in the US and especially on college campuses. Students are calling for an end both to the Israel–Hamas war and to their universities’ investment in companies engaged with Israel. If our most elite education institutions are rejecting our founding creed that all men are created equal. What does this mean for the future of our democracy?

“People who say they go to religious services weekly are probably lying”: Cultural Christianity and the power to change culture Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

According to Gallup, about three in four Americans identify with a specific religious faith, and 21 percent of us say we attend religious services every week. However, the data says otherwise. The story raises a cultural question: Why would so many people claim to attend religious services so much more often than they actually do? Religiosity does not have the power to transform lives, but being in relationship with our Creator does.

How to buy happiness Apr 19, 2024

Show notes

Most of us understand that giving in to negative emotions does little to make our lives better. That knowledge doesn’t make resisting them easy, but it should serve as a good reminder that when we worry about things beyond our control, we compound the problem by wasting our most precious resource: time. Fortunately, that doesn’t have to be the case and Christ gives us a good example of a better path.

Bill Maher says abortion “kind of is” murder: The deepest fault line in American culture Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

The comedian and abortion advocate Bill Maher made headlines this week when he admitted that abortion “kind of is” murder. Maher’s honesty exposes the deepest fault line in American culture, between those who consider life to be inherently sacred and those who consider it to be an instrumental means to other ends. There is no more urgent battle for the minds of Americans than this.
