In this week's episode, Lloyd comments on the story of Pastor Tony Self, who claimed that he was fulfilling scripture by "Laying hands on the sick" when he confronted and assaulted a man who had been insulting and threatening members of his congregation and his family. Was he defending his flock, or giving in to the Old Adam?

In this episode, Lloyd reflects on the story of Jordan Salinas, who responded to a mass shooting by intervening to protect others. We also connect the story to a chapter from The Fifth Command, exploring the wider meaning of the Fifth Commandment. It's not enough to avoid murdering your neighbor. When possible, we are expected to help, save, and defend them, as well.

James Talarico, the Democrat nominee running to replace Senator John Cornyn, claims to be a Christian and a seminary grad, but he makes pathetic arguments about social issues using the Bible and bad logic. His worst? Claiming that the Bible is "silent" on the subject of abortion. Is it really? What else might the Bible be "silent" about?
