When NFL kicker Harrison Butker took the stage at a Catholic church's commencement ceremony, his words sparked a firestorm of reactions—mine included. Today, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to confront his claims head-on, discussing why the assertion that marriage and children are life's ultimate goals, along with his condemnation of IVF, surrogacy, LGBTQ+ rights, euthanasia, and abortion, can't go unchecked. This episode isn't just about Butker's speech, it's about the echoes it leaves in the lives of those in the audience and beyond.

Navigating the choppy waters of public discourse, we grapple with the impact of influential figures airing divisive views and the ripple effect it has on our society. The conversation touches on what it means to chase happiness in a world brimming with personal beliefs and societal expectations. I'll share insights from my own life, a tapestry woven from many faiths and philosophies, illustrating why choice and empathy are paramount. Join me for a candid discussion that's as much about introspection as it is about what transpired at that commencement ceremony.
