Lots to discuss in today's episode. We start with a message of encouragement that hopefully is familiar to all Christians. No matter what happens on Earth, followers of Christ get to rejoice in the good news of the Gospel and what comes after our worldly lives. Then, we move on to debunk some ridiculous misinformation being pushed by Democrats regarding curriculum legislation in Texas. The Left is up in arms, claiming that Texas Republicans are trying to prevent schools from teaching about MLK or the KKK. But is that really what's happening? It may not surprise you that Democrats aren't being very honest about this one. Lastly, we address the drama surrounding David Platt and McLean Bible Church, and the "accusations" that Pastor Platt has gone woke.

News Commentary

Last week, the Department of Education released its new Title IX rule, expanding the prohibition against discrimination to include discrimination based on “sex stereotypes, sex-related characteristics (including intersex traits), pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity.” We discuss what this means for American girls and women. Plus, Kristin Waggoner, President of the Alliance Defending Freedom, joins the program to discuss these changes and the ADF's efforts in combatting transgender policies. How can parents stand up for their daughters and against these evil ideologies? And Taylor Swift released a new album with some problematic lyrics, particularly in the song, "Guilty as Sin." How should Christians respond?

Ep 990 | Taylor Swift’s Blasphemy & Title IX Betrayal | Guest: Kristen Waggoner

Today we discuss HBO's recent Nickelodeon documentary "Quiet on Set" that details alleged and proven instances of child abuse in the child-acting industry and specifically at the kids' network Nickelodeon. The series highlights the careers of Amanda Bynes, who famously struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues after she stopped acting, and Drake Bell, who has now come out with his own shocking and tragic testimony of being abused by a Nickelodeon dialogue coach. What does this mean for the acting industry at large? What should parents do if their children want to get into entertainment, and do kids have a place at all as the household breadwinner?

Ep 989 | Nickelodeon Has a Predator Problem

Today we discuss the recent controversy over Mark Driscoll's public rebuke of a stripper's performance during the opening of the Stronger Men's Conference. Magala took off his shirt, ascended a pole, and swallowed a sword at the event, which was organized by James River Church in Missouri. Was Driscoll out of line? Plus, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's daughter recently came out as transgender - we go through some other children of celebrities who have also become LGBTQ+. And recent maulings by Pitbulls beg the question: should the breed be banned?

What SHOULD pro-lifers believe about so-called "exceptions" and 15-week bans? Does the circumstance of the child's conception make him or her any less of a human? Plus, Steven Furtick gave a controversial Easter sermon while donning a pricey pink sweater. And some good news - students at the University of Georgia got impromtu baptisms in pickup trucks.
