The commitment to population control and to the reduction of human population would be the most widely shared goal of the top leaders of the world's largest environmental organizations.

There is no better evangelism tool you have than the apostles and Nicene Creed.

These give you the words you need to confess the saving faith to others.

Librarians in Michigan love listening to issues etc.

And then God's children live happily ever after the end.

A new survey from the Associated Press and several Washington DC think tanks finds that Americans are increasingly distrustful of the media.

Now it does vary by political party, but generally speaking, the American people believe that the media are doing more harm than good, not only when it comes to the spread of misinformation, but also for the polarization, the political polarization of our country.

Greetings and welcome to issues etc. live on this Wednesday afternoon, the 17th of May.

I'm Todd Wilkin. Thanks for tuning us in. We'll be talking with Terry Mattingly of Get Religion about media coverage of media distrust.

Then we'll spend some time with Pastor Ted Geese reviewing the movie Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3.

And Dr. Andy Adams, pastor of Troy Methodist Church, and Troy Illinois joins us to discuss why his congregation left the United Methodist Church.

Terry Mattingly is senior fellow at the Overbeer Center for Southern Journalism and Politics at the University of Mississippi.

He's founder and editor of Get Religion and author of the weekly on religion column for the Universal Syndicate and the Book of Pop Goes Religion.

Terry, welcome back.

Glad to be here.
