The Curious Case of Benjaman Kyle
This week Joy dissects the curious case of Benjaman Kyle—a man who woke up behind a dumpster in 2004 and couldn't remember his name, or where he had been for the previous 21 years of his life. Good samaritans embark on a mission to help him find his identity. He ends up all over the news, on Dr. Phil, and with groups all over the country wanting to help. But did Benjaman want help?
Justice, Science, & The Death Penalty
This week Summer talks the Cameron Todd Willingham case. Willingham was put to death for setting his house on fire, resulting in the death of his three children. But his case wasn't cut and dry. His Led Zeppelin posters turned the public's opinion against him. Once a world-renowned fire scientist got involved, the evidence that put Willingham away became heavily circumspect. So what do we do in a world where justice is desired, vengeance is common, the courts are corrupt, and "science" can't always be trusted?
Misunderstanding God’s Presence, Essential Oils, & How to Love God By Eating Twinkies
Someone presented an interesting question to Joy: Can God be in the presence of sin? So we dive into what that particular question is in reference to, what we know about God's holiness, omnipresence, omniscience, and Summer talks tabernacle things. Then we answer an adorable voicemail with a question about essential oils, and we follow up on some concerns about our episode on food with Douglas Wilson.
Smash the Patriarchy: How Men Helped Create Feminism & What To Do About it
This week we want to get real with you about the Patriarchy. It's out there, and you can fight it, but are you even sure what you're fighting for? If the Bible says women must obey their husbands, and their husband is abusive, where does that leave women? Are we willing to admit that the first wave of feminists were responding to large-scale abuses by men? The answer is yes, and we are about to explain why!
Women Behind the Pulpit: What Does the Bible Say?
We do not believe that women can be pastors because Scripture tells us as much. But let's be honest, a lot of us hold to this view "because Scripture says so." Scripture saying so is the number reason to do or not to do something. While we believe that wholeheartedly, in the very gender-confused and feminist-saturated culture we live in, it is not enough to know what you believe—you must also know why you believe it. So that is why this week, we are taking a very short amount of time to explain the why's, and answer some common objections.
Confessions of the Food Catholic
Coming to the table of the Lord in peace with one another is a huge deal, and our bodies are supposed to be spent in service to the Lord. How do we balance all of these things? Pastor Doug Wilson shares some edifying Biblical wisdom on how not to be stuck in bondage to your next meal.
Jesus and Politics with Allie Stuckey
The Conservative Millennial, Allie Stuckey, is a force to be reckoned with. We did not know what we were going to get when we asked her to come on the show, but we were just blown away. Normally we get to hear her on FOX, NBC, or MSNBC in short bits and pieces giving her [extremely accurate, punchy, and beneficial] ten cents on what's going on in the political world. Today we get to hear why she believes it is important that Christians are able to articulate their faith, understand politics and culture, and be engaged in the current political climate. We also get to find out how many cats is too many cats and why Summer's dad has a cat waterfall.
Almost: Our Encouragement & Concern with the IF: Gathering
The IF: Gathering is one of the most popular women's conferences today, and we get asked for our thoughts on it all the time. So after some prayer, and several hours of listening to past livestreams, here you go. We hope that you are not such encouraged and edified, but equipped to be able to answer these kinds of questions for yourself!
Stolen Paintings & The World’s Best Bounty Hunter
This week we take a mental break to tell you some of the coolest, craziest, weird, true stories we could find. One of the world's most prolific artists was a fraud and the most impressive bounty hunters on the planet is 4'11. Grab a blanket. It's story time.
You Already Love Yourself Too Much (Self-Esteem is A Lie)
The natural end of a desire to esteem yourself is suicide. That's a hefty statement, but we spend a lot of time this week trying to think through a natural desire that is in all of us--self-obsession. The world tells us that we need to see the beauty in ourselves, we just need to "think positive", and that we need to think better of ourselves. The Bible says our value is not self-actuating, but that God is the source. So how do we Biblically avoid the pitfalls of self-esteem, self-loathing, and self-obsession?
