We are going to consider these technologies in light of the Christian worldview.

What is the Woke Right? | 6/15/24 | #181 Jun 15, 2024

Show notes

Last month, we did a show about the "woke right." And then our friend, Alisa Childers, re-released it on her podcast platform. Since then, we've received a lot of feedback about the show and continued to research the issues. Some people say the "woke right" isn't a thing. Others say, it's "absolutely a thing." It's a lot to process. We don't claim to have all the answers, but we are trying to have the public conversations to help the "regular people" make sense of what's emerging among Christian socio-political influencers. We have asked our friend, Neil Shenvi, to come on and help us continue the discussion. Link to Neil's article: https://shenviapologetics.com/what-is-the-woke-right/

The Struggles of Trauma, Mental Illness & the Christian Life | 6/1/2024 | #180 Jun 01, 2024

Show notes

There is so much confusion among Christians about the issue of counseling and mental illness. Some think that it undermines the authority of Scripture to even see a therapist. Others seem to lack discernment about how to prevent therapy becoming a gateway to unbiblical life choices. We've asked our friend, Dr. David King, professor in social work at Indiana Wesleyan University, to come on the show and share his perspectives about the intersection of therapy and the Christian worldview.

How "pro-life" do you want to be? A key theme on the podcast this year is justice for the pre-born. We are exploring the issue from a variety of different angles.

We've asked our friend, OB-GYN Dr. Chris Cirucci to come back on the show and explain the dangers of chemical abortion, as well as the science behind birth control. How do various birth control methods actually work and which ones are compatible with the Christian worldview? Join us for this live discussion.

The Shell Game of Identifying the Oppressed and Marginalized | 5/18/24 | #178 May 18, 2024

Show notes

Whenever we hear pastors talk about the "marginalized" or the "oppressed," we usually cringe a little inside. A deeply biblical idea has been co-opted by the culture and morphed to mean something completely different. We want to have a public conversation about this confusion and see if we help straighten out what has become a very crooked line by bringing the issues back to God's standards.
