Thoughts of the Round Table

Over the last few decades, abortion has become a central talking point in many political discussions and platforms, but where did this debate come from? The gang talks about the history of the pro-life movement and how the meaning has changed over time. They also look at some of the strengths and weaknesses of the pro-life platform and try to see what it really means to be pro-life. Join in and give us your thoughts on this hot button issue!

From the opioid crisis to alcoholism, the US seems to have a big problem with addiction. The gang discusses what causes addiction, how people can get out of it, and whether addiction is a disease or not. Also, hear about some cool research with rats and how it might show that community is important in breaking addiction.

This week on Thoughts of the Round Table, the gang talks about the "good old days", and why modern society is obsessed with nostalgia. The film industry seems to thrive on this obsession, and every movie feels like another reboot. Does this use of nostalgia dampen creativity? Can there be any benefits to nostalgia? Most importantly, are there any theological implications (good or bad) with this popular emotional state? Come join in as the gang dives into these questions.

Happy 4th of July! This week Juan, Rebeca, and Chris talk about the good ole US of A. They wrestle with some of the issues that plague America, but also focus on what makes it a truly amazing country. So sit back, relax, and enjoy one explosive discussion!

The gang is back together again from their summer break! This week, they cover current events that have to do with free speech, such as Rosanne Barr's tweets, the NFL, and the recent Supreme Court case ruling about the cake baker. How does the US balance the struggles between free speech, religious freedom, and equality for everyone? All of this and more at the Roundtable!

In honor of May the Fourth (yeah it's a little late. Forgive us), the gang talks about the world of Star Wars!

Also, hear about their views on the upcoming Han Solo film and Disney's treatment of Star Wars over all. So after you go to Tosche Station and get your power converters, come back and join in at the Round table!

Throughout Church history, hell has been a fascinating topic for many Christians. In recent times, there has been debate about what hell is (and if it even exists, according to some). In this episode, the gang discusses some of the different views on hell and what forms of theology and scripture back up each of those ideas. So put on your red devil suit, grab your pitchfork, and join in the conversation on hell!

In the next few weekends, graduations will be going on all over the United States. With this in mind, the gang decides to dive into the topic of college and it's importance to society. Does everyone really need to go to a liberal arts college? What are the benefits of further education? Also, hear about Juan, Rebeca, Chris, and Gabby's experiences in college and what they think about it. What about you? What can you teach us about college?
