| 0:00.0 | This is Molly Hemingway, encouraging you to listen to my favorite podcast, issues, etc. |
| 0:07.3 | Every day you get in-depth interviews with host Todd Wilkin asking expert guests, substantive, thought-provoking questions on all of the important news and issues of our day. |
| 0:18.7 | The expert guests are in culture, law, ethics, philosophy, theology, |
| 0:23.1 | and apologetics. Expert guests? Expansive topics. Always extolling Christ. Issues, etc. |
| 0:55.0 | And I felt for a long time that, you know, if a country doesn't have religion, doesn't have faith, doesn't have God, it's going to be very hard to be a good country. You know, there's no reason to be good. I want to be good because you want to prove to God that you're good so you go to that next step, right? The woke stuff was getting so bad. |
| 0:57.0 | You would hear people say nonsensical things like logical and rational thought is a white thing. |
| 1:03.0 | First of all, that's one of the most racist things I've ever heard. |
| 1:06.0 | But aside from that, no, if we lose our ability to think logically and reasoned rationally, we can't talk to each other. |
| 1:14.8 | I'll submit to your authority, and you can do with me as you will, but I'm not going to obey your |
| 1:19.0 | law. And that's classic Christian behavior. The creed does that. It opens up the scriptures. |
| 1:24.7 | The true faith is the drama. The dogma is the drama. It's not a constraining thing, but it opens up the scriptures. The true faith is the drama. The dogma is the drama. It's not a |
| 1:29.8 | constraining thing, but it opens up all sorts of things that we might not have thought about. So |
| 1:34.0 | I'd just encourage people to examine the scriptures and test the creed against them. |
| 1:38.8 | Amazon drivers who are Calvinistic Baptist and not Lutheran still love issues, et cetera. |
| 1:45.5 | Well, I'm no lawyer, but my impression has been that when it comes to the sanctity of |
| 1:50.8 | the counseling chambers, the law has very little reach in there, especially with what is heard |
| 1:57.6 | and what is said, and yet there is in Colorado a law that prohibits counseling |
| 2:02.1 | conversations, but only in one direction. It makes it illegal in effect, or at least punishable |
| 2:09.4 | by law, in Colorado for a counselor to question whether or not a young person should transition |
| 2:16.9 | to another gender, if such a thing were possible. |
| 2:21.3 | Greetings, and welcome to Issues, Etra, live on this Friday afternoon, October the 10th. |
| 2:25.9 | I'm Todd Wilkin. Thanks for tuning us in. We're going to talk about a Supreme Court case on this |
