Ep 93 | Biblical Suffering

Across America, people are seeing Democrat leaders impose strict COVID-19 regulations, then completely ignore those rules themselves. Unsurprisingly, people are fed up with it and expressing their frustration through protests. Politicians like Nancy Pelosi have repeatedly played politics with the virus, to the detriment of millions. Teachers' unions are also getting in on the act, encouraging teachers to call in sick to prevent schools from reopening, despite the science suggesting that it's safe to do so.

Today we're tackling a heavy topic — gender. We'll be looking at the ideas of gender and sexuality through a biblical lens and comparing those ideas to the much more recent idea of "gender identity." It's a difficult conversation to have, especially in today's highly political world. But God's message about gender is very different from the one you're hearing from those on the Left. Also, how should Christians respond when asked to use alternate pronouns or are asked to announce their own pronouns?

Andrew Cuomo has attempted to use the COVID pandemic to lock down churches and synagogues in clear violation of the First Amendment. Fortunately, the Supreme Court has gotten involved and ruled in favor of religious liberty. But this is the typical problem with leftists like Cuomo — they believe the Constitution is a living document that changes with the latest political trend.

Rachel Bovard of the Conservative Partnership Institute joins to talk about the problems that arise when corporations and big tech have too much power and how that affects the liberties protected by the Constitution. When companies start acting as the arbiters of morality, that should scare everyone. It's time for conservatives to be much more skeptical of these "woke corporations" and get serious about protecting the free market.

It's important to remember in this uncertain time that everything that happens on Earth happens according to the will of Heaven. We talk about morality and the biblical role of government, the sad reality of what the Left wants to accomplish through abortion, and the whittling away of masculinity by worldly secularism.
