Family Meeting | CFBU

Kevin joined Monique and Krista to unpack Christianity Today’s new piece, “Save the Unborn, Yes. Don’t Punish Their Mothers.” They ask whether evangelicals can oppose abortion while treating mothers as "second victims," effectively making them a protected class with murder immunity. In the second segment, they discuss a proposed plan in Massachusetts for government postpartum home visits after the Lindsay Clancy case. The episode closes with Kevin’s essay challenging Black ideology (rather than Black people).

Monique and Krista discuss Nancy Pearcey’s post on X, warning that abortion trained society to center a mother’s crisis and look past the child who dies. Join our latest abortion debate analysis and explore how shifting cultural narratives impact our families and society today.

Then we unpack the Converse ad panic, the habit of seeing racism in every shadow, and why context and restraint matter more than viral offense.

In the third segment, we react to a clip from the "Benny and Kate" podcast and their discussion about “low-effort grandparents”: what intergenerational family should look like, why blaming boomers is too easy, and how the church can be the village when blood family isn’t. We aim to provide a balanced, biblical worldview to help you navigate these complex social trends with clarity.

Toxic feminism is distorting our view of justice. Krista and Kevin break down the Lindsay Clancy case and the cultural shifts behind it. We also address the growing no-contact trend, specifically looking at a viral story involving interethnic adoption.

We talk through the Lindsay Clancy trial and what the juror interviews reveal about a culture that prizes empathy over justice, treats a mother who killed her children as a victim to be protected, and struggles to say that murder is still evil. In the second half, we discuss the growing number of seminary degrees in African American or Black leadership and whether they have a legitimate place in an evangelical seminary program.

Monique shares some thoughts on mental health, moral agency, and the growing cultural tendency to treat those who struggle as victims rather than responsible agents. They discuss the Lindsay Clancy trial alongside a recent Times Square stabbing in which police fatally shot a woman wielding knives after she killed a young mother.

Welcome to our weekly unscripted livestream, where we talk about the news of the week from a historic Christian perspective. This week, Krista is joined by a special guest co-host to talk about the recent struggle in the WNBA over "inclusivity" and who qualifies for the draft. In the second half, they share some reflections about Dolly Parton.

Monique and Krista examine the difference between secular “liberation” and true freedom in Christ while reacting to Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair Megan Romer’s candid remarks about making conditions intolerable for the ruling class. In the second half, they look at the opposite extreme in a Dale Partridge clip advocating balkanization and an ethno-state, noting the horseshoe effect of structural overthrow on both fringes.

Kevin joined Monique and Krista for an in-depth discussion about Genesis 9 and the resurgence of the "curse of Ham" doctrine. They react to a recent video by Dale Partridge (linked below) promoting the idea that black people are the descendants of Ham and would be best served by putting themselves under the rulership of white people.
