Today we're talking about the Josh Duggar trial and how we as Christians should react when one of our own is exposed in such a way. First, we take a moment to acknowledge the disaster that occurred over the weekend in Kentucky, when tornadoes caused untold damage to people's homes. Then, we go on to discuss what happened with Josh Duggar and how his heinous behavior came to pass. We also debunk the ridiculous assertion that "purity culture" or "white evangelicalism" are to blame for Duggar's actions. Lastly, we give a reminder that reverence for children's lives is a recent development in human history and one that was only made possible through Christianity and scripture.

Today, we sit down with Trent Horn from Catholic Answers to discuss the House's recent bill aimed at preventing anti-Semitism and some of the biggest differences between Catholic and Protestant theology. Is it anti-Semitic to say that the Jews killed Jesus? Why do Catholics pray to Mary and the saints? Why don't Catholics believe in sola scriptura? And how do Catholics and Protestants differ in their beliefs about salvation?

Ep 997 | Why Do Catholics Pray to Mary? | Guest: Trent Horn

Today, we're joined by Gabriel Finochio, cofounder of TheosU and host of "The Reactionary Christian," to discuss Christian nationalism, the church fathers, the attack of the secular Left, the importance of a Christian society, and why feminism has destroyed biblical womanhood for so many women. Is America a Christian country, and how should religion be structured into government, if at all? What actually IS "Christian nationalism"? What elements of our civilization should be conserved? What is the real danger of idolatry? And is feminism gender dysphoria?

Ep 996 | How Feminism Misunderstands Gender | Guest: Gabriel Finochio

Today, we discuss what's going on with the anti-Semitic "pro-Palestinian" protests flooding college campuses such as Columbia and New York University. We discuss the motives of the protestors, the difference between anti-Semitism and critique of Israeli policy and why these protests clearly fall into the former category, and the common theme throughout all communist revolutions in history. Plus, some middle school girls in West Virginia recently took a courageous stand against a biological male athlete at their track meet.

Ep 995 | Anti-Semitism Ramps Up on College Campuses

Today, we dive into Russell Brand's recent baptism and conversion to Christianity and whether it is a reason for hope. Brand has faced public criticism due to his past anti-Christian opinions, sexual assault allegations, and his current use of tarot cards. We discuss what these things mean for the genuineness of his faith and whether Christians can dabble in new age practices to begin with. Plus, in her latest book, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) detailed a time she shot her dog dead in a gravel pit. We discuss this strange decision.
