Christian Deconstruction: What I Wish I’d Known with Abigail Favale
Have you ever wished you could get inside the head of a Christian going through a deconstruction journey? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Today, we’re joined by Abigail Favale, a Professor of Women’s Studies and author of “Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic Conversion,” to hear how she went from an evangelical upbringing to postmodern feminism to a proud member of the Catholic Church. Follow along her journey as she shares with Patrick how her views developed, what she wishes she would have known before and during her deconstruction years, and how she navigated her fears. How have her views on gender and feminism changed? Why is it so important for Christians to live with, not resolve, the tension in the Bible? How did she become a Catholic? And what does she recommend we must do as the Church to support those living in deconstruction land?

Two-Parent Privilege with Melissa Kearney
Did you know that 40% of American children are born to unmarried parents? Contrast that with the 1960s when this overall rate was less than 10%. So, why such a dramatic increase? And what impact is this having on our society? Melissa Kearney, author of the controversial book, “The Two-Parent Privilege,” joins the podcast today to weigh in. Listen as she makes a data-driven case for marriage, explaining why the two-parent model is the most advantageous family structure for children. She discusses why the number of children born into single-parent homes has risen, why cohabitation doesn’t provide the same benefits as marriage, and why she believes feminism and the institution of marriage are not at odds. Is marriage our best path forward to a more equitable future?

How the “Trump Bible,” Christ is King Movement, and Politicians Compromise the Church
Donald Trump. Christ is King. Candace Owens. Antisemitism. Buckle up! On this episode, we’re examining all sorts of current events to prove that commingling politics and faith compromises the Church’s witness. First, Keith and Patrick discuss the Trump-endorsed “God Bless the USA” Bible and how this mashup conflates our citizenship in heaven with our American citizenship. Then they bring on Daniel Darling, a former spokesman for NRB (National Religious Broadcasters), to discuss the organization’s recent guest speaker, Donald Trump. Was this move appropriate? Should Christian organizations invite politicians to speak? Are American Christians experiencing religious persecution as Trump laid out in his speech? Finally, Keith and Patrick discuss the recent Christ is King movement and whether its intent is antisemitic. They detail Candace Owens’s involvement and recent firing from The Daily Wire and whether or not there’s a historic, antisemitic strand in Christianity. How can Christians be politically involved but not allow politics to corrupt their faith and the witness of the Church?
