  • Mental Health Month - 2021

    May is officially Mental Health awareness month - and on Use Your Words Podcast this is something that gets some attention - especially from Paul who has dealt with his own mental health issues in the past. This month Aaron wanted to ask a few questions:

    1. How do you help someone who is having a panic attack?
    2. What are some signs of depression in a person?
    3. What's it like to live with depression?

    We also talk about the anxiety that is predicted in people as Covid exits the lockdown phase and as people are already starting to show anxiety as people enter various places without masks.

  • Accountability: 2021 Edition

    Accountability is a hard thing to do. Why? Because in order to be accountable you need to be fully transparent with the other person - even when things get messy. During a recent conversation with Aaron he admitted that recently he was having trouble seeing the necessity for transparency and accountability so we continued a conversation that we started last fall and recorded it.

  • What do we do about Chimeras? Are there any moral objections to them?
    Recently scientist have found a way to make hybrid human/monkey embryo live for a total of fourteen days inside of a petri dish. Previously (in 2017) scientist found a way to make a half human, half pig chimera while doing research. These advancements have raised various issues in the research community on if they should now allow embryos to live for a total of 28 days instead of the 14 days on the books in multiple countries, as well if we should continue the research into chimera embryos.
    While doing these other experiments, researchers have also found a way to raise mice in artificial wombs to the halfway point of gestation - a first in the scientific world.
    With all of these advancements in artificially growing embryos - what are we to do about that as Christians. What sort of moral dilemmas does this represent? What do we do about half human half animal x embryos? Also if we are raising animal just for organs how is that different then raising animals to eat them?

  • Can we text in our mental health?
    The year 2020 has led to an increase in a demand for mental health services. With this rapid increase in mental health requests, and the increased need for masking up and being socially distanced - online therapy sessions have increased in popularity. In the rise of this - online therapy applications have rose in popularity offering the convenience of being able to text a therapist at any hour of the day and get a response - at least that is what is sold in the ads for these applications. Let's take a look at these applications and how effective they are - with opinions from someone who has been to therapy before.

  • Are We On The Path For A Population Implosion?
    This week we take a look at some recently scientific research which suggests that instead of a population boom - we are on the verge of a population implosion. Now there is a very fascinating series of articles that outline how various factors all combine to decrease the birth rate as well as the fertility of both sexes/genders. Due to various factors (including changes in society) we are quickly seeing a decrease in the replacement fertility around the world, with most studies agreeing that by 2050 69% of the countries will have a replacement fertility below 2.1. In fact - at that time, most studies agree that the worldwide population increase year over year will be down to 0.53% from the barely over 1% of 2020. We look at some of the information presented by the studies, and what this means for us as the human race going forward.

  • What exactly is freedom and what are the limits of it?
    This week Aaron brought up the idea of talking about freedom. While initially Aaron wants to talk about how people are proposing using the carrot of "freedoms" to coerce people to get the Covid-19 vaccine. While this conversation starts there - and Aaron admits he is not a fan of this - we eventually move forward in the conversation to talk about the first amendment and how it applies to social media and private companies.

  • Covetous Culture
    This week we talk about that uncomfortable conversation around coveting. Now for those not familiar with the word - essentially coveting is yearning for things or situations that other people showcase. Current society, through social media primarily, highlights people's new possessions as well as adventures as something to be desired. People look at what others are posting on their various feeds and talk about how they wish they could have that item/that experience. What makes something coveting, and why is coveting (outside of a biblical worldview) bad? This week Aaron and Paul talk about this.

  • The Vatican On Blessing Same Sex Unions
    We talk this week about the recent ruling from the Vatican on if priests can bless same sex unions or not. While this ruling from the Vatican seems to have taken a bunch of people by surprise, if you have been following Pope Francis and the catholic church's doctrine - this should not come as a surprise. Aaron - questions why people would care about this - and we try to break it down some more so that Aaron can understand it.

  • The secret cabal that fortified the 2020 election
    Time published an article in Feb, 2021 entitled "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election".
