Today we're talking to comedian and podcast host Bridget Phetasy about her life and how her views have changed over time. Bridget was more or less a typical liberal Democrat for much of her early adult life, before being unintentionally dragged into the culture wars. She talks about leaving the Left, how she navigates having heterodox views in an increasingly polarized world, and how her faith in a higher power has been strengthened after her amazing story of beating addiction, meeting her husband, and getting pregnant.

**Please note: this conversation is for a mature audience**

Diddy's sex trafficking trial, how rap music can negatively influence its listeners, and the difficulties facing Christian men today. What should we make of Kanye's sinful venture? Is there any good in rap music? And where can Christian men look for good influences in our modern culture?

Ep 992 | Kanye Is Now a Pornographer | Guest: Jason Whitlock

Today we sit down with professional surfer Bethany Hamilton to discuss the protection of women's sports, her surfing career, childbirth, and standing up for the pro-life cause. Bethany lost her arm in a shark attack when she was just 13 years old and overcame not just relearning how to surf with one arm, but how to compete again and win. She explains how her experience being launched into the public eye led her to share her relationship with Jesus. We talk about her decision to speak out against the World Surf League, which recently allowed men to compete in women's competitions, and the fallout of essentially being blacklisted by the league.

Ep 991 | Bethany Hamilton on Women’s Sports, Faith & Motherhood

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, Kristen 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 pit bulls raise the question: Should the breed be banned?
