Episode 503: Woke Disney, Teens in Crisis, & Racial Reconciliation with Derwin Gray


Listen Later

The feud between Florida's governor and Disney is getting hotter with new leaked footage of a Disney executive speaking about the company's goals for LGBTQ representation. What are both the Right and Left getting wrong in the debate, and why should we see sexual orientation and gender identity as different from race? Also, new studies show an alarming rise in mental health disorders among teens, but there's some good news for those involved in religious communities. Plus, Derwin Gray is back to talk about his new book, "How to Heal our Racial Divide." He shares how his church is taking the call for racial reconciliation "from the seats to the streets," and why so many church leaders remain afraid to talk about race.
