This week Frank and Dan take a long, hard look at the legacy of James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and one of the most influential figures of the Religious Right. He spent decades pushing child abuse as “discipline,” spreading anti-LGBTQ hate, and shaping the culture wars that still drag us down today. With his passing, we’re not exactly breaking out the hymns…

We also dive into:

  • Mormon women going wild over new, shoulder-baring garments
  • An Episcopal priest who turned psychedelics into his new ministry
  • A Catholic money man trying to steer investments away from LGBTQ rights and Planned Parenthood
  • Bible verse sneakers making their way into the Museum of the Bible
  • Mormon leaders panicking as church members turn to AI to write their sacrament talks
