Between Two Worlds

Conservatives have been hijacked by the issue of abortion. Since the late 1970s, this issue has been used to mobilize conservative voters, particularly evangelicals. These well-meaning people don't even know they are being manipulated.

This is a response to The Conservative Voice episode titled "Europe's Abortion Lesson". That episode was a reading of the article by the same name written on May 8, 2022 by the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board. The article explains how democracies in Europe settled the abortion debate, not judicial fiat.

Where are the rational well reasoned progressive viewpoints? Maybe you are used to the extremes. Between Two Worlds is taking on current events by intentionally presenting two sides of the issue. "The Progressive Voice" is our calm, collected, and respectful look at the progressive viewpoint of issues impacting the US and Europe.

Scott's Youngest Brother. Gender Roles in Marriage. Complementarianism. And a Truly Christian Wedding. Ben Trout and his fiancée Lexi Wellings join Scott in the last few days of their single life. Catching them right before they got married, Scott interviews these two young lovers on how they met, how God was the centerpiece of their relationship, and how they decided to include a sword in their wedding ceremony.

Swords are pretty outdated and some may argue, so are Ben and Lexi's views of the man and woman's roles in their marriage with the man as the leader and the woman as the helpmate. Find out why they reinforced those beliefs in their wedding, and let us know if you see if differently.

We are taking a dip into politics and current events! Through two spin off series called "The Conservative Voice" and "The Liberal Comeback." In true B2W fashion, we are trying to tackle certain current issues by presenting both sides of the issue and specifically how it impacts the individuals who care about it. We want to explore why someone believes what they belief and what that says about who they are.

One of the biggest issues contributing to the polarization of society is the lack of knowledge of what the other side has to say. Without this knowledge you can easily believe a straw man stereotype about the other and thus disregard them. We are trying to change that.

Here at B2W we are seeking to understand, not be understood.

We are starting with:

When did the word "woman" become a dirty word?

Celibate Christian, Catholic Historian, and Leader in an Opus Dei Residence in Amsterdam, Paul Graas jumps back on to talk about all the Catholic controversies that Scott and his Protestant friends could think of. They went into the Pope, Purgatory, Praying to Saints, Praying to Mary, Political corruption in the Church's history, and sexual abuse by priests. Paul also takes time to share what he thinks non Christians are missing out by not believing in God, namely that they can't live life with a sense of humor. Find out more and listen!

Paul's Part One: Listen to Paul's first episode to find out how he heard from God to live a celibate life and how it was the most fulfilling choice he could have made. Paul has a unique ability to articulate Catholic doctrine in ways that Protestants can relate to. He is also a published author, a co-host on the Dutch podcast Goed, Beter, Best, and an expert on character formation and spirituality, especially on topics concerning the digital world, like social media, porn, screens, etc.

Celibate Christian, Catholic Historian, and Leader in an Opus Dei Residence in Amsterdam, Paul Graas join Scott on the podcast to discuss Catholicism and his journey of discovering his personal vocation to join Opus Dei and live a life of celibacy. He has a Spanish mom and a Dutch dad with six siblings. He grew up in a Calvinist primary school in the Bible Belt of the Netherlands, then Catholic high school in the southern tip of Spain, in a town where spaghetti westerns were filmed, then back to the Netherlands for his university days. He operates often in between the two Catholic and Protestant worlds. This gives Paul a unique ability to articulate Catholic doctrine in ways that Protestants can relate to. He is also a published author, a co-host on the Dutch podcast Goed, Beter, Best, and an expert on character formation and spirituality, especially on topics concerning the digital world, like social media, porn, screens, etc.

Paul's Personal Vocation: Paul got a personal call from when he was 16 to truly give his life to God. He calls it his personal vocation to join the Catholic order called Opus Dei. But what it involved was living a life of celibacy. He confronts the feeling that celibacy is a curse Christians put on other people whose sexuality is not condoned in the Bible. His story shows that celibacy is a gift God can give to some and that the brothers he lives with in Opus Dei bring him fulfillment.

In Paul's Part Two Paul has some hard-hitting things to say for Protestants and for non-Christians. You will come away from these episodes feeling challenged and curious about just how wrong your Catholic stereotypes were.
