Jamie and Mahlon dive headfirst into the raw realities of straight privilege, civil discourse, and the uphill battles faced by the LGBTQ+ community. With their guest Jacob, they strip away the fluff to confront how privilege shapes conversations—and how it can be weaponized. Through unfiltered stories and bold reflections, they challenge societal norms, wrestle with the tension between safe spaces and exclusion, and ask the tough questions about empathy, equality, and acceptance. This isn’t just a conversation; it’s a call to rethink, relearn, and rebuild.

In this “cautious” episode of Round Table Mindset, Jamie and Mahlon invite Jamie’s brother Ben back to the show to explore the idea of American Christian Persecution.  Together they discuss various experiences and why they believe as they do whether Christians specifically are persecuted in this country today, or if it is a flawed perception.   This was a difficult conversation to be sure, but so worth it in the end to see things in a different light.
