We’re unpacking how the sexual revolution rewired our views, why so many women feel heartbroken and used in modern dating, and what the Bible really says about sin, intimacy, and identity.

Mom shares generational stories—from the 60s to now—while Annabelle reflects on her view in a hypersexual world. This isn’t about shame. It’s about truth, grace, and a better way forward.

And yes, we talk about bikinis, nude beaches, and why Jesus showing up to women first after the resurrection was absolutely radical.

In this episode of You Can Handle the Truth, we dive into the dangers of crowd mentality, cancel culture, and the consequences of following emotions over truth. Kathy recalls a striking childhood memory—seeing Bobby Kennedy just days before his assassination—shedding light on how easily people get swept up in movements without fully grasping their implications.

We then explore the most profound example of cancel culture: Jesus Christ. From Palm Sunday’s celebration to his crucifixion just days later, history reveals how quickly the masses turn when truth challenges expectations. Through scripture, we examine how Jesus disrupted societal norms and why his message remains countercultural today.

Plus, a surprising twist—AI weighs in on religion, with ChatGPT identifying Christianity as the most likely true faith. What does this mean for faith in the modern world? Join us for an eye-opening discussion on history, belief, and the pursuit of truth.
