Did you do your homework reading from last week? Gary introduces next week's show (spoiler alert: Oscar slap) and then continues discussing the "free speech" event held at Yale Law School earlier this month. Two lawyers gathered to discuss freedom of speech and the "common ground" that can exist between left and right activists, but both were shouted down by law students. So much for blind justice.

Francis Schaeffer introduced me to the idea of pre-evangelism, which is an attempt to find a point of contact and tension in your neighbors non-Christian philosophy and then seeking to apply the Gospel to their life. This is a dialogue I had with a young woman on a campus, which is my attempt at some pre-evangelism.

Many Christians today reject altogether the idea of Christian mysticism, but it has a long history in the church going back to the first centuries. The early church recognized three different types of mysticism: scriptural, which involved looking for symbolic or allegorical meanings in Scripture; liturgical, focused usually on the Eucharist; and contemplative. The guys discuss each of these, arguing that although excesses have occurred, mysticism in these senses can be a legitimate expression of the faith. So if you’re skeptical about Christian mysticism, tune in to see if your misconceptions are valid!

We resume the conversation from last week on the place of God’s law in society, and interact with listener questions. We also examine the New Testament teaching on the law of God, and address the reality that all law is coercive, by its very nature.

NFL To Require All 32 Teams To Hire Minority Offensive Assistant Coach For 2022 Season

https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-nfl-to-require-all-32-teams-to-hire-minority-offensive-assistant-coach-for-2022-season

“On Monday, the NFL announced that every team will be required to hire a minority assistant coach on the offensive staff, according to NFL.com. The individual can be a minority or a female, and will be signed to a one-year deal, partially paid from a league-wide fund.

“It’s a recognition that at the moment, when you look at stepping stones for a head coach, they are the coordinator positions,” said Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II, chairman of the NFL Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee. “We clearly have a trend where coaches are coming from the offensive side of the ball in recent years, and we clearly do not have as many minorities in the offensive coordinator [job].”

Earlier in the day, Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin — who hired Flores to his staff during the offseason — expressed doubt that the new measures would have an impact on increasing the number of diversity hires in the NFL coaching ranks. 

“I haven’t been in any discussions, and, no, I don’t have a level of confidence that would lead me to believe that things are going to be better,” Tomlin said. “I’m more of a show-me guy as opposed to a guy that sits around and talks about things.”

Also on Monday, the league announced the creation of the NFL Diversity Advisory Committee. 

“Today, the National Football League (NFL) announced the creation of the NFL Diversity Advisory Committee, following its pledge last month to retain outside experts to review the league’s diversity policies and practices,” the NFL said in a press release. “The six-member committee will lend its expert, external perspective on industry best practices and will evaluate league and club diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies and initiatives, including all hiring processes, policies and procedures, with a primary focus on senior-level coach and front office personnel positions.”

Let me just say this. All this diversity and inclusion stuff has not solved any of the problems that they originally set out to solve. Also, how insulting and belittling is this forced hire. How do they know they got the job based on their abilities and not based on the color of their skin. 

Judgment in Finnish MP’s Bible-tweet trial expected on 30th March

https://adfinternational.org/aviso-judgment-in-finnish-mps-bible-tweet-trial-expected-on-30th-march/

According to ADF International: 

“A Finnish court is expected to rule on the Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen and Bishop Juhana Pohjola’s free speech case on 30th March. Both stand accused of having engaged in “hate speech” for publicly sharing their faith-based beliefs. The former Minister of the Interior had voiced her convictions on marriage and sexual ethics, in a 2019 tweet, a 2019 radio debate, and a 2004 pamphlet. The bishop faces charges for publishing Räsänen’s pamphlet. Their case garnered global media attention this year, as human rights experts voiced concern over the threat this case poses to free speech in Finland. 

“In a free society, everyone should be allowed to share their beliefs without fear of censorship. This is the foundation of every free and democratic society. We hope the Helsinki District Court will uphold this fundamental freedom when it rules on this case. Criminalizing speech through so-called ‘hate-speech’ laws shuts down important public debates and poses a grave threat to our democracies,” said Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International and author of ‘Censored: How European Hate Speech Laws are Threatening Freedom of Speech’. 

In the last two years, Räsänen attended several lengthy police interrogations about her Christian beliefs – including being frequently asked by the police to explain her understanding of the Bible. In April 2021, Finland’s Prosecutor General had brought three criminal charges against Räsänen. Two of the three charges Räsänen faced had come after the police made strong recommendations not to continue the prosecution. Räsänen’s statements also did not violate the policies of Twitter or the national broadcaster, which is why they remained freely available on their platforms.

ADF International will host a press conference after the verdict is announced on 30th March at 16:00 CEST. Dr. Päivi Räsänen, MP, Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International, and Lorcán Price, Legal Counsel for ADF International will be available for questions after their statements.

Washington state plans to ban most non-electric vehicles by 2030

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/washington-state-plans-ban-non-electric-vehicles-2030-rcna21683

File this article under, please liberals do more of this. 

According to NBC News: 

“Washington state plans to ban most non-electric vehicles by 2030, according to a newly signed bill by Gov. Jay Inslee.

The bill says that all vehicles of the model year 2030 or later that are sold, purchased, or registered in the state must be electric.

The bill covers a lot of transportation issues in the state and is a part of a larger $16.9 billion transportation package called “Move Ahead Washington," which Inslee described as a way to create more efficient transportation options.

"Transportation is our state’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. There is no way to talk about climate change without talking about transportation," Inslee said. "This package will move us away from the transportation system our grandparents imagined and towards the transportation system our grandchildren dream of."

Also included in the transportation package is funding for four new hybrid-electric ferries, thousands of electric vehicle charging stations, 25 transit electrification projects across the state, as well as free fares for riders 18 and younger on public transportation systems, according to a Medium post the governor wrote on Friday.”

As Garrison reported on yesterday, the Don’t Say Gay Bill Drama Continues…

A couple things here. Of course you are not to be trusted. You are going against God and against creation, and what you are doing is harming your soul.  Secondly, The left are absolutely lying and misrepresenting this bill. This bill is not outlawying you from talking about paddle boarding trips. This bill is outlawing you from grooming students. The word “gay” is not even mentionened in the bill. This is how the left are the liars we deserve, and anything that touches up to their worldview, they will attack, malign, and even slap you in the face like Will Smith.

Utah's Republican Governor Vetoes Bill Banning Men From Women's Sports, Utah Legislature Overturns The Veto

https://notthebee.com/article/utahs-republican-governor-vetoed-a-bill-banning-men-from-womens-sports-utah-legislature-overturns-the-veto

According to the Bee:

“After Utah Governor Spencer Cox, who included his pronouns in his Instagram account, cowardly vetoed a bill that would prevent men from competing in women's sports under the guise of transgenderism, the Utah legislature stood up and defied the RINO governor.”

From the Washington Times:

“The Utah State Legislature voted Friday to override Republican Gov. Spencer Cox's veto of a bill barring male-born athletes from girls' scholastic sports, becoming the 12th state to pass legislation to address rising concerns over transgender competitors in female athletics.

The Senate voted 21-8 and the House voted 56-18 to override the governor's veto, clearing the required threshold of a two-thirds majority in both chambers in what was a widely anticipated outcome.

The bill sponsored by Republican state Rep. Kera Birkeland requires public schools and private schools that compete against public schools to designate sports as male, female or co-ed. Male-born students are banned from competing on girls' teams.”

“The Democrat opposition to the bill, as cited in the Washington Times, shows how far detached from reality the left is:

Democratic state Rep. Brian King argued that "things are simply not black and white in terms of gender orientation, sexual orientation, gender identification."

"It's simply not accurate to say that girls are girls and boys are boys, and never the two shall meet," he said. "There is in fact a lot that is unknown."
