This is Breakpoint This Week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission with John Stone Street, President of the Colson Center for Christian World View.

Welcome to another edition of Breakpoint this week. I'm Shane Morris here with the inimitable John Stone Street to talk about the headlines and stories of the week from a Christian worldview perspective. And we are coming up on this fine Mother's Day weekend. And if you

were too distracted during quarantine to remember that Mother's Day is almost upon us. You're

welcome. You have about 24 hours now. The clock starts now. Go. I think Walgreens always has

last minute flowers and and and candy and i

think by the way most stores have left over valentine's candy so you can just repurpose yeah because they

haven't been open since valentine's day basically yeah you know it feels like an odd place where

a lot of america wants to open. There's an awful lot of growing pains

and that whole whole process. Even our producer, Steve Reiter, his wife's been in the hospital,

and he has been on local media here in Colorado Springs talking about some of that. And I don't

want to undersell it by calling it, you know, growing pains or, you know, transition pains,

because for him, it's tragic. But you've

got old regulations with new realities and you've got new data coming in and you've got just

tons of stuff. You know, the governor of Illinois this week issued an edict basically saying

that churches over 50 probably won't be able to open for another year.

Wow.

And then, of course, in your state of Florida, Shane, you know, NBA teams are going back to

practice.

So, I mean, there's just no consistency right now.

And we've all reached that time, even though we're, you know, doing this as we're looking

at each other through Zoom, where if I don't get on another Zoom call for the rest of my life, it still

might be too soon.
