EP251: Blake Shelton, Justin Bieber & 'Christian' Music / Lessons from the Census / Congresswoman Being a Terrible Mother

On This Episode: MEANINGFUL LESSONS FROM THE CENSUS (0:00-13:07). I love the Census; I'm a demography nerd. Here's one lesson from this Census showing we're at an historically low growth rate: we're an unhealthy people. Healthy things -- organizations, organisms, churches, businesses -- grow. We're soon to be shrinking, meaning we're not healthy. Our values are rotten. Our national goals are in disunity. Our trust in each other is broken. Our ideas are backward. As a result, there is decline. In this segment, though, I do have a word of hope. POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS FROM THE CENSUS (13:07-19:30) The Census also offers some political insights and practical changes to our political maps. I'll provide details. BLAKE SHELTON'S NEW "BIBLE" SONG (19:30-31:02) Blake Shelton's new song lays a heavy burden on you that you don't have to carry. Ironically, Justin Bieber recently released a gospel album that responds to the "earn it and strive" message Shelton offers. In short, when there's a message about the Gospel of Jesus floating around in the culture, I want to be sure we take the opportunity to clarify what the true Gospel is. SIGNS OF POLITICAL BACKLASH (31:02-34:40) Democrat Senator Mark Kelly is complaining about what's happening at the border. Democrat Senator Joe Manchin is rejecting Statehood for Washington DC and rejecting some spending. Democrat Senator Kristen Sinema is set on keeping the filibuster. In a healthy move for the country, some politicians can feel Leftist overreach and potential political consequences. TIM SCOTT, JOE BIDEN, AND KAMALA HARRIS AGREE (34:40-45:00) In a 48 hours period, Republican Senator Tim Scott, President Joe Biden, and Vice-President Kamala Harris all said that America is not a racist country. That sort of unity is something to build on. We also know that we have ethnic disparity in the present. So, if we are not currently a racist country, what are we and from where do ethnic disparities emanate? I have a theory. CONGRESSWOMAN IS JUST A TERRIBLE PARENT (45:00-49:00) I have audio of a Congresswoman whose ideology gets her dangerously close to emotionally traumatizing her own daughter. It's maddening, and you should hear it.
