Topics this week:
Marijuana’s Real Impact: A new study finds 40% of fatal crash victims in one Ohio county had high levels of THC, sparking discussion on how far legalization has gone and why Christians must discern between what’s legal and what’s right.
AI and the End of “Seeing is Believing”: Sean and Scott unpack the dangers of AI-generated videos like OpenAI’s Sora, the flood of deepfakes, and what it means for truth and communication in a post-trust culture.
Conversion Therapy and Free Speech: The Supreme Court will hear a case challenging Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy. Scott and Sean explore its implications for religious freedom, professional ethics, and the Christian view of sexuality and desire.
Israel–Hamas Ceasefire Hope: Discussion of the tentative ceasefire and what lasting peace would require—beyond politics or military power—to genuine heart transformation on both sides.
Listener Q&A:
- Should baptism be required before taking communion?
- Why use the term “medical aid in dying” instead of “assisted suicide”?
Sean and Scott weigh the theology, ethics, and importance of clarity in language.
