Most crime, including murder and sexual assault, is done by men. Are men toxic? Are they inherently violent and inferior to women? These are some of the questions we’ll try to answer in this week’s edition of the Commonwealth Matters. We are joined by Professor Nancy Pearcey, author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. She is professor and scholar-in-residence at Houston Christian University, and she has been highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and haled in The Economist as the preeminent female Protestant evangelical intellectual.

A recent MSNBC article claimed that Donald Trump uses Christianity as a political prop to advance a theocracy and Kamala Harris practices the Christian faith she was raised in and embraces pluralism. Many on the Left call the Right Christian nationalists, and paint Christian nationalism as an existential threat to America, democracy, and the Church. Is this correct? To talk with us about this important issue is Mark David Hall, professor at Regent University and is the author of the recent book Who’s Afraid of Christian Nationalism?

As power outages become increasingly common across the nation, particularly in states phasing out coal-fired power plants, many are left questioning the reliability of our electrical grid. In Kentucky, a winter storm a few years ago led to rolling blackouts, highlighting the vulnerabilities in our power supply. Are we taking our electricity reliability for granted? What will the future hold for energy costs, especially with new climate change regulations under the Biden Administration? Join us as we delve into these pressing issues with Katelyn Bunning from Cornerstone Government Affairs and the Executive Director of Dependable Power First Kentucky.

The church should be a place of hope and healing for broken sinners. But what happens when the church fails at its mission, is no longer safe, and there's a sexual predator who is a leader in the local church? These questions aren't theoretical, but was a reality in LexCity Church in Lexington, KY. To help us think through these difficult issues is Robert Cunningham, former pastor at Tates Creek Presbyterian (Lexington) and Executive Director of Christ for Kentucky.

Are we meant to work and is work the meaning of life? David Bahnsen, founder of the Bahnsen Group, joins us this week to discuss his new book Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life.
