Today we're talking about a difficult topic – the shooting that occurred at a Christian school yesterday in Nashville, claiming the lives of six people, three of whom were children. We start with a word of encouragement, as emotions are high: God sees this, he is grieved by it more than any of us could ever be, and he will do something about it. We share our condolences to the families of the victims, one of whom was the 9-year-old daughter of a beloved local pastor. The shooter, a woman who identified as a man, was killed by brave police less than 15 minutes after they got the first call. We take a look at some of the rhetoric that's been spreading since the shooting, from news correspondents blaming conservatives to anti-Christian messages of "understanding" about the shooter's potential motive against Christians. We also look at trans activists' recent history of inciting violence against those they deem "genocidal." Yet despite the increasing tensions, we know whom we can take comfort in. --- Timecodes: (00:51) Intro / Psalm 37 (07:21) Why would God allow this to happen?

Today we're discussing a recent study many news outlets have reported on, which looks at the children of same-sex couples and concludes that these children fare the same or better than children of heterosexual couples. We start with some thoughts on "gay marriage" in general from a biblical standpoint, which would hold accurate even if this study were valid. Then we break down the study analysis, which was funded by China (the CCP), and its methodology, which has more than a few glaring issues, and outcomes. We share some studies that have been correctly done, which show that the opposite seems to be true – children of heterosexual couples indeed do fare better by many different metrics. We also share a big show update coming soon! --- Timecodes: (00:43) Show update!
