Welcome to the Holy Post. Before we get into the show, just a quick announcement. Starting

real soon, we're going to be changing our format and we don't want you to be caught off

guard. As a test, we're going to try releasing two Holy Post episodes each week rather than

just one by splitting our regular 90 minute episode into two parts so you can expect to

get the new segment on one day and the interview on another. This is just an experiment and

we welcome your feedback on which format works best. It's the beginning of a number of new

ideas we're going to be playing with as we try to grow the Holy Post even more this year. So thanks

for your help. Alright, on today's show, when DeMar Hamlin collapsed during Monday Night

football, we witnessed an outpouring of public prayer, but we also saw an outpouring of vaccine

conspiracy theories on social media. Leading Phil to ask, why are so many conservative Christians

enamored with conspiracy theories and distrustful of mainstream experts? Then, David French has joined

the New York Times, causing progressives to get upset about his Christian views and conservatives

to accuse him of selling out for acceptance among liberal elites. That leads us into a broader

discussion about the difference between principled pluralism and cultural accommodation. Then,

Christian Theologians universally agree that the God revealed in the Bible is neither male nor

female. And yet, Jesus was a man and he taught us to pray to our Father. How do we reconcile

these facts? Caitlin Chess interviews Dr. Amy Peeler about her new book, Women and the Gender of God.

Here is episode 543. Hey there, welcome back to the Holy Post podcast. This is Phil Vissier.

I'm here with Sky Gittani. Hi Sky. Hi Phil. Hi. And Caitlin Chess. Hi Caitlin. Hi Phil.

Caitlin just told us she just got back from four hours of class. What did we learn today, Caitlin?

Caitlin Chess. We learned that Christians should be ethical. Oh, it took four hours, huh?

Caitlin Chess. We should try it maybe sometime. How many of the hours did it take to make that point?
