Welcome to the conversations that matter podcast. I'm your host John Harris. It's a short

podcast today, but one I felt compelled to do because I've had many people reaching out to me

over the last week and a half asking me, John, can you comment on the Alistair Beg same sex wedding issue and to be fair I did

actually say something about this in a previous video but the title did not suggest that the topic was about

Alistairbegg and so I think many people miss that and then didn't realize I

had already said something and I think because there's been some development on it I thought well you know what I'll just make another video because there's been some things since then that have been said and there's a few other issues that I thought about that would be good to raise and so I want to talk to you a little bit about it.

We're going to play some clips and go from there.

Before we do though, I want to let you know about a sponsor for this podcast and that is Screen It's a great tool that

some really great people have put together these are Christians who care

about the kinds of things that you do.

Screen it first.com is the website Screen it first.com and it's a library or at least that's the

intention for parents to go to where they can look at books that their kids could potentially be reading and see if there's anything objectionable.

And so how it works is when you, and this is really how they get this library of books together, is you as a parent, if you are going through a book with a child or you're looking at something your child's reading if you find something in it they have a place you can go to and you can

stream shot that page you can flag it for whatever it is, foul language, sexual content, violence, racism,

LGBT QIA plus alcohol, drugs, lying, stealing, dark content. These are just a few of the categories

that they have.

There's a number of them.

And you can just say that, you know, this is what's happening.

So other parents can be aware for their children.

And of course, I think we're used to thinking this way

when it comes to media, but I don't know if it's just where I live but I've noticed that

parents tend to from when I was a kid I even noticed this be more lenient when it comes to books you know
