The Christian Optimist

News Rundown: IVF, Wheaton College, & Gen Z Men


Listen Later

In this episode, Pastor Raef goes through three separate articles from this week's news and evaluates them from a Christian worldview. First, we examine President Trump's Executive Order making IVF Treatment more accessible to American families. Second, we look at the recent controversy around Wheaton College that erupted when they removed a Facebook post celebrating their alumni Russ Vought's confirmation as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Third we look at a surprising new statistic that shows young men from Gen Z making their way back to Church.
