After admitting it broadcast election lies and conspiracies, and paying $787 million in damages, Fox News has fired its most popular host. Does this signal a change at the cable news network? An online chatbot says Christianity gives it hope. Are we witnessing the first A.I. convert? Then, more innocent people are being shot by fearful gun owners who “feel threatened.” Is this the inevitable outcome of America’s addiction to fear and idolatry of guns? And Derwin Gray is back to ask a question he’s been sitting on for 20 years—why isn’t the Civil Rights Movement considered a Christian revival? He talks to Skye about the history of revivals in America, and how economic and political idols have prevented us from truly embracing the messianic mandate of Jesus. Plus, a Florida shark got hammered on spring break.

I was really glad that Kaitlyn stepped in and mentioned that the line between "reasonable" and "emotional" isn't always as clear-cut as we think. Also, the more that an issue affects you personally, the more "emotional" you may feel when discussing it. A white person might feel like they are having a "dispassionate, rational conversation" and trying to "consider all sides" of racial justice issues in a conversation with a person of color, while that same conversation may feel very upsetting and emotionally draining to the person who is personally impacted by the injustices being discussed. Also, I thought Dr. Gray's interview was good, but it made me uncomfortable when he started talking about the dangers of the "progressive left"…
It makes me really sad to hear Skye say the church isn't preaching the gospel. He's going to the wrong church. He seems very negative about the church. I am so very thankful for my local church and the part it plays in my community and in my personal life.
At least three times in my remarks I deliberately and explicitly said silencing speech and shooting people are NOT morally the same. Here are the quotes and time stamps... 34:21 Regarding cancel culture, "I know it's different because you're not talking about lethal force" 34:58 "Obviously, pulling the trigger of a gun has far-reaching consequences in a way that silencing the speaker on a university campus does not." 41:13 "I'm not trying to make a moral equivalence between shooting a stranger at the door and silencing a speaker on a college campus. What I'm trying to show is the common root, the common dysfunction of our society is we no longer trust our institutions and we are trusting our feelings and fears instead." Accusing…
Riley Gaines was recently attacked at San Francisco State University... A federal judge was prevented from speaking at Stanford Law School by angry protestors, just to give two examples from the last month.
I’m so disappointed that Skye keeps coming back to the tired and debunked refrain of cancel culture on college campuses. It’s not happening, Skye. And then to extrapolate from that to say that “the Left” is against free speech? Have you looked at Florida lately? And other right-wing controlled states where they are trying to prevent people from any freedom of expression with which they disagree? It is NOT the boogeyman of “The Left” trying to prevent people from criticizing public officials, or talking about their families, or mandating the presence of one religion’s religious code in all classrooms, or preventing even legislative discussio of gun control measures, or trying to prevent ballot initiatives in general but especially on reproductive…
