EP245: What We're Missing with the ATL Shooting / Don Lemon Embarrasses Himself Talking Religion / Palm Sunday Reflection

On this Episode: (0:00-7:35ish) PALM SUNDAY REFLECTION Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week is quickly approaching. I have a brief reflection on the meaning of Palm Sunday in an effort to prepare your heart and mind for Holy Week. (7:35ish-25:00) CNN's DON LEMON TRIES TO DO THEOLOGY AND FAILS MISERABLY For some reason, The View asked Don Lemon about the Catholic Church not changing their theology on marriage. Lemon proceeded to tell us that God doesn't judge, that it's wrong to believe in a God that judges, and that the most important thing to teach your kids about religion is that Jesus isn't white. I'll unscramble all of that inanity.

Do you think the women in them got their by fulfilling their hopes and dreams? Of course not. We're staring a sex trafficking story in the face and missing it. We're also missing the role pornography is playing in the degradation of our culture broadly. (33:45-45:00) WHAT IS THE "BIBLICAL SEXUAL ETHIC" Since the ATL shooting story has brought Christian teachings on sexuality into question, let's answer this question together: what does the Bible -- not any tradition or denomination -- teach about sexuality? (45:00-50:10) EVEN FAR-LEFTIST SARAH SILVERMAN IS FINISHED WITH WOKE CULTURE The American political Left is waking up to the dangers of Woke-ism. I'll play a clip for Sarah Silverman to illustrate.
