Jeremy converses with Janet Mefferd about her history in Christian journalism, her famous conflict with Mark Driscoll, and the latest controversies surrounding Megan Basham, Doug Wilson, and the Christian Nationalism movement. The over-arching concern about each of these topics is for Christians to care about maintaining a standard of ethics in their ministries.
