Today we're joined by Dr. Voddie Baucham, dean of theology at African Christian University in Zambia, to discuss his 'Fault Lines' curriculum and why it's so important for the church to understand how to talk about race and social justice in a biblical way. We discuss why we need to define terms such as "social justice," that have led Christians to talk past each other. Why are race and social justice the topics that tends to divide the church, and what can we do about it? We also look at the difference between how somewhere like Zambia sees the topic of race versus America, and we touch on why disparities do not equal discrimination.

Today we're joined by a show favorite, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, for part two of our discussion on big fertility's increasing presence in our culture. We start off with the ethical issue of frozen embryos from IVF, or "souls on ice," and what to do with them. We discuss whether embryo adoption is a viable option and what the repercussions might still be. We look at a few surrogacy and IVF horror stories and explain just how strong and essential the mother-baby bond is. We also discuss Italy's PM Giorgia Meloni and her anti-surrogacy measures, which, despite being good measures, have been widely criticized. Then, a controversial question: Should gay couples adopt?

Today we're joined by a show favorite, Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, to discuss big fertility's increasing presence in our culture. We talk about California's new bill that redefines "fertility" to include gay couples in an effort to make insurance cover surrogacy in those cases. Naturally, there are some drastic repercussions of green-lighting a bill like this. We explain how we're misidentifying the victims, who are always the children, and why even Christian, heterosexual couples cannot let their longing for children be put above a child's well-being. We also cover why adoption is different from IVF and surrogacy and why it's so important to understand that IVF is never ethical.

Today we're joined by Kyle Mann, editor in chief at the Babylon Bee, to dive headfirst into the gender galaxy that’s explored in "The Babylon Bee Guide to Gender." We start off with the Babylon Bee's explanation of gender and how science is actually incredibly offensive. We look at Kyle's journey from being a two-gender conformist to embracing the smorgasbord of gender choices (stay tuned to see if he finishes the interview as a man!). We also discuss the delicate art of raising "woke theybies" (they/them babies, of course), including advice on how to indoctrinate your child with Disney’s famous gender ideology and how to punish your child for the heinous crime of misgendering you. We'll also touch on the dazzling spectacle of drag shows and how more kids should be attending them, the importance of neopronouns, and the rarely discussed but incredibly important "wing dysphoria" community. As we unravel the beauty of gender ideology, you'll come to realize that it's all about you, you, and you, because only your happiness and comfort matter!

We start off explaining forgiveness in Jesus' context and how we should emulate him. Then we discuss the seriousness of domestic abuse and how emotional abuse is the end result of all abuse. June explains that God did not create us to be abused and it’s not healthy for people to get way with wrongdoing. We also talk about the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation and share the first step toward forgiveness. Stay tuned until the end, when June treats us to a song!

Today we're joined by Heather Mason, activist, survivor of fentanyl addiction, and founding member of caWsbar, an organization that works to preserve the rights and protections of women and girls. Heather tells her story of becoming addicted to fentanyl, selling drugs, and going to prison multiple times. She shares her difficult journey in Canadian federal prison, where she got routinely strip-searched and violated, and shares stories of men, many of whom were sexual predators, being placed with women and babies in women's facilities. We discuss her advocacy for single-sex prison spaces, and Heather explains how it was the Christians above anyone else who saw her as a human worthy of dignity while she was in prison.

We also discuss what morality and the concepts of justice and fairness are rooted in when it comes to atheism.
