In this episode, we discuss how Hamas's inability to identify 40 living hostages is complicating a U.S.-backed ceasefire deal. Then, we explore an emerging movement within the United Methodist Church, as an unofficial caucus of LGBT-identified clergy seeks to advocate for a reconsideration of the denomination’s stance on homosexuality. Our conversation also touches on the controversy surrounding an Indiana University's investment in a BDSM workshop for students which was ultimately canceled. Finally, we reflect on the end of an era at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, as notable pastor Chuck Swindoll steps down as senior pastor but vows to continue his preaching legacy.
