Ep15: The Nationals Bias Against Christians, Justice for Detransitioners, and Colbert’s Spiritual Co

from Christianly · host Brad Andrews

In this week’s episode of Christianly, we examine how sports, medicine, and entertainment are all becoming battlegrounds in a larger war over reality itself. First, we look at the recent Washington Nationals controversy and the growing hostility toward openly Christian athletes, like their own Trevor Williams, in professional sports. Then we take a deep dive into the important May 2026 DOJ settlement with Texas Children’s Hospital, what happens when medicine stops healing the body and starts waging war against it, and hope for detransitioners. Finally, we close with late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert’s bizarre comments about the afterlife on his penultimate show before his final broadcast and why modern celebrity spirituality always seems to drift away from the center of Christianity.

Christianly seeks to cultivate wisdom, patience, and spiritual maturity in an anxious age - to weigh the times carefully, anchor our hearts in Scripture, and engage culture with both courage and compassion, shaped by allegiance to Christ above all.Producer: Tyler RobinsVideo courtesies for video clipsVideo 1: Video courtesy of O’Keefe Media GroupVideo 2: Video courtesy of Colin Wright and NTD NewsVideo 3: Video courtesy of Breitbart News

The Mind Renewed with Julian Charles Fringe Radio Network The Mind Renewed : Thinking Christianly in a New World Order is a Podcast and Website dedicated to understanding the world in which we live from a Christian worldview perspective.We are acutely conscious of propaganda in the mainstream media, and of the bewildering mass of information in the alternative media - some of it reliable, much of it not. We therefore seek to address matters of concern to people (whether they be 'people of faith' or none) in an unsensational and informed fashion, in the hope that truth will be uncovered and that bridges will be built between people through greater understanding.Therefore, whether it be the Surveillance State, the threat of Global Government, False-Flag Terrorism, the danger of New Religious Movements (NRMs), or any other issue too often ignored by the institutional church, The Mind Renewed analyses, interprets and critiques from a Christian worldview perspective.And in all that we do, we call upon our listen Faith Informed Sam Raju Faith Informed is an Engage International Podcast with a vision to clarify truth claims, challenge prevailing ideologies and commend the faith. We desire to equip Christians to winsomely commend, defend and contend for the faith and help Believers to think Christianly about everything, be better rooted, more equipped, and ever growing in the knowledge of God. www.engagein.org Theology in the Raw Theology in the Raw Helping believers think Christianly about theological and cultural issues by engaging in curious conversations with a diverse range of thoughtful people.
