(00:00-08:56): The New York Times Still Doesn’t Understand What It Did. In the era of fake news, what sources can we trust? Brian dissects this National Review article by David French on the Times’ reports on Brett Kavanaugh. (08:56-18:20): Brian is flying solo today, so he gets to talk about his favorite sports teams. This time around, he discusses the New York Giants benching long-time QB Eli Manning and how he may very well be the most underrated hall of famer ever. (18:20-27:18): Boy, 16, Stabbed in Fight Lay Dying as Eyewitnesses, Friends Videotaped His Death. Brian touches on the seemingly barbaric state of society. It’s as if the people who watched him die only wanted to profit off of the situation. (27:18-35:59): Brian touches on some tweets from Jeff Vanderstelt and Tim Keller. Vanderstelt quotes Keller, “The Resurrection is a giant receipt stamped across history saying your debt has been paid for and you don't have to pay it ever again.” and The Keller Tweet concurs that statement by saying “The strongest Christians are the ones most willing to repent.” (39:59-46:39): Brian refers to a couple more tweets talking about atheism and truth rejection. The first tweet was a simple question: “Ex-theists, I’d love to know if you miss anything about being religious? #atheist” and the second was from Union Seminary, they confessed their sins to plants. (46:39-57:02): We are joined in the studio by our friend Dan Ehrman to talk about the Lift Conference. He expresses the vitality of the upcoming conference because of how Christian leadership is in crisis today. (57:02-1:07:06): Dan sticks around to talk about his leadership roles and how his show “Leading the Church” instills a positive and in-depth perspective on the church leaders of Chicago. He also discusses good leadership qualities that he has seen in pastors he interviews and knows. (1:07:06-1:13:49): Brian and Ian’s “Weird Stuff We Found on the Internet”: Amish folks are running ravage in the streets while Nessie isn’t made in China. A woman in Rhode Island is feeling a tad blue, while Canada will fine you if you protect yourself. Meanwhile, Dogs are smarter than we think, and have a wicked sense of humor.
