A "deeply alarming" situation has unfolded in Colorado, where a Christian-owned coffee shop has reportedly been under fire by LGBTQ activists, communists, and others over the owners' "biblical stance on sexual sin."

"Since its opening last month, The Drip Café, a Christian-owned coffee shop ministry in Denver, has been targeted by protesters over its belief that homosexuality is sinful," Christian Post reporter Ian Giatti wrote earlier this month. "Owner Jamie Sanchez believes the Denver Communists and other LGBT protesters were triggered by Scripture on the website of his coffee shop's parent nonprofit Recycle God's Love, which ministers to the local homeless population."

Giatti joins "The Inside Story" to further break down what's going on — and why it matters.

In the last couple of months, thousands of more churches have left the United Methodist Church, having their disaffiliation votes approved by their UMC conferences. Updated totals show that as many as 6,000 churches have fled the UMC in the last couple of years — and the issue shows no signs of slowing down.

"For the last several ... decades, the United Methodist Church has been in a big debate about whether to change its official stance on LGBT issues," Christian Post reporter Michael Gryboski says. "At present, the UMC prohibits the blessing of same-sex unions and the ordination of non-celibate homosexuals."

Now, chaos within the denomination has unfolded. What's unfolding and why does it matter?

What is Messianic Judaism, is it the same as Christianity — and what do its worship services look like? These are just some of the questions Christian Post reporter Ian M. Giatti tackles on the show today.

Giatti also recently addressed these topics in an article titled, "Messianic rabbi points Jews, Gentiles to Christ in the heart of the Bible Belt," a piece about Messianic Rabbi Ari Waldman and his Dallas-based Baruch Hashem.

"What we're talking about is essentially this notion ... of a Judaism that acknowledges that Jesus is the Messiah," Giatti explained. "It kind of encompasses New Testament theology overlayed on ... Orthodox Judaism."

Artificial intelligence is dominating headlines. But what should Christians make of it — and are there notable dangers afoot? Some experts are warning about the rise of new cults, entirely new "holy" texts, and other dangerous developments stemming from the rise of AI.

Christian Post reporter Ian Giatti joins the show to discuss the complex issue.
