Should Free Speech Have Limitations? with Greg Lukianoff
Sure, we've got The First Amendment, but do people really have the right to say whatever they want whenever and wherever they want? Or should there be healthy limits to free speech in America? Today, Patrick sits down with Greg Lukianoff to discuss. Greg is the co-author of the NYT bestseller, "The Coddling of the American Mind," as well as the President and CEO of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. Listen as the two dive into the history of the "radical" idea of freedom of speech and why it's necessary for healthy politics and democracy itself. Greg also shares some of the present-day threats to freedom of speech, such as Big Tech, social media censoring, and the rise of political correctness. Plus, do the downfalls to freedom of speech outweigh the benefits? Listen now!Ok, truth time... Did you like this episode?

What Do Demonic Powers Have To Do with Politics? with Tim Mackie

Why The Church Failed to "Cure" Homosexuality with Greg Johnson
What does it look like for the church to *really* love gay people? Is the idea of "curing" a homosexual of their desires biblically accurate or appropriate?

About the Show
Our interviews with leading Christian and non-Christian thinkers will challenge you to consider truth. We hope our podcast will help you understand whatโs happening in your workplace, home, community, and society, then apply Jesusโs teachings there.
We donโt take ourselves too seriously. Or any tribe, for that matter. So prepare yourself to laugh, think, get offended, change your mind, or shout in agreement.
Above all, youโll become the kind of leader and thinker whose outlook is shaped by Jesus, not mainstream media out to get a buck and fuel the outrage.
