Summary
A Florida pastor who wrote a book about "biblical marriage" has been arrested after allegedly marrying a second woman while still married to his first wife. Frank and Dan dive into the very awkward collision between Christian marriage advice, secret spouses, and a pastor who may have taken "biblical marriage" a little too literally.
Also this week: TikTokers are "speedrunning" Scientology buildings, a strange UK religious cult faces slavery and forced marriage charges, Trump's "anti-Christian bias" task force releases a report full of grievances and very little evidence, a liberal megachurch pastor shakes up Kansas politics, and the Mormon church somehow makes their youth programs even weirder.

| 1:01.1 | Yeah, the 12-year-olds to 18-year-olds. |
| 1:04.9 | They renamed these groups, these age groups. |
| 1:08.7 | And it's very, it's perplexing. |
| 1:14.2 | We're confused. It's not like the old names were all that great, but the new names are somehow worse. I don't know. It might be a |
| 1:20.0 | lateral move. I'll tell you what's funny. What's funny is that the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the big brass at Mormon headquarters downtown are pretty sure this is a leap forward. |
| 1:33.2 | So we'll talk about that in the latter part of the show. |
| 1:38.6 | And coming up first, though, there are some things that happened this week, some news, Dan, that we better get to. |
