SCOTUS appears poised to overturn Roe. I talk about the legal and practical ramifications of this decision, and how the fight against abortion is just beginning.

Freedom of speech is on the decline in America. Fewer Americans value free speech, while more are calling for government and corporate censorship.

Forgiveness is a misunderstood virtue. This episode covers the third and final misunderstanding of forgiveness: (3) Forgiveness is unconditional. I argue that the Biblical data as well as God's example demonstrate that we are only obligated to forgive those who have repented, and that forgiveness without repentance is morally wrong.  Visit the TTB blog at thinkingtobelieve.com Web: Thinkingto...
