Conservative political rallies and protests are increasingly using Christian worship music. How is this different than the role of faith in the Civil Rights movement, and why should Christians on all sides be cautious about attaching God’s name to their activism? Then, new data says Trump’s presidency dramatically altered attitudes about race and prejudice in America. And Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn respond to listener questions about last week’s episode on Disney and LGBTQ representation.
Then, author and editor Drew Dyck is back for another round of media recommendations. This installment of “Dyck’s Picks” includes a book on deconstruction, some Easter-themed poetry, and a TV drama with something to say to the church about ethics and the culture war. Plus, beware of un-Lucky Charms.

Is there another impact of Deconstruction for assistant leaders? As we are forced to face the difference between our leader's public face and internal reality, does it push us to see those dichotomies within ourselves and question whether anything we have done as leaders was really from God?
Hi Phil. Your news of the butt came in handy the other day when I met with a kid and his dad. At the end of the interview, I always ask, “Is there anything else I should know about?” The dad then mentioned, “It’s not really an issue, but my son‘s poop is green and almost like diarrhea.” I asked, “This may be a weird question, but did he eat Lucky Charms?” The dad was so surprised as he confirmed he had been eating Lucky Charms at home. He asked how did I know, which I then explained News of The Butt.
I appreciate the extended discussion on the LBGTQ issues from the previous episode. However, I was disappointed that the question I posted wasn't addressed (not that you are obligated.) I think it is a relevant question. What difference does it make if a person's behavior (sexual or otherwise) is the result of an immutable trait or not? You seem to go out of your way to avoid talking about the morality of sexual ethics, but isn't that the heart of this issue? If LBGTQ behavior is morally wrong, then the question of immutability is irrelevant. We all have sinful impulses hardwired into our being that don't come from social influence. However, if LBGTQ behavior is not morally wrong then the…
I’m disappointed in Skye’s diminishing of the importance of high quality data in understanding the impact of a demagogue’s influence on American views on race. You can’t accept the validity of Barna Group‘s research on one episode then dismiss other social research in another because the conclusions seem obvious. Accepting our assumptions as absolute truth without proof is a huge part of our current polarization in the world right now. When we denigrate scientific research as Christians, even to get a laugh, we contribute to the problem of unfounded certainty. Please be more circumspect in your cynicism, Skye.
By the way, the Holy Post is a huge blessing to me and I love what you guys bring to the…
