Top headlines for Friday, June 30, 2023

In today's episode, the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling declaring the race-based student admissions policies at the University of North Carolina and Harvard as unconstitutional. Next, we turn our attention to theologian John Piper's controversial stance on women in spiritually authoritative positions in parachurch organizations, and his claims about inherent 'god-ordained differences' between sexes. Then, we explore the tension within the United Methodist Church, where debates on homosexuality's religious classification have led over 6,000 congregations to sever their ties with the denomination. Lastly, we discuss how the Supreme Court has overturned a lower court's ruling against a Christian postal worker forced to work Sundays, protecting his right to abide by his religious beliefs.
