Summary
John Stonestsreet and Shane Morris discuss the murders of hundreds of Christians in Ethiopia--one of the most ancient of all Christian lands--at the hands of militant Muslim youth, as well as the growing awareness of genocide against Christians in Africa's largest nation, Nigeria.
They also discuss the disturbing lack of basic knowledge about the Holocaust among Americans--especially those 40 or younger.
Also on today's episode, the dark history of eugenics in America, President Trump's foreign policy success as Israelis and former Arab enemies sign agreements normalizing relations. John and Shane also give their recommendations for the week.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Colson Center Podcast Network. |
| 0:03.3 | This is Breakpoint this week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission |
| 0:09.3 | with John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. |
| 0:15.3 | Welcome to Breakpoint this week. I'm Shane Morris, here with John Stone Street, |
| 0:18.9 | to talk about the stories of the week from a Christian worldview perspective. Follow the stories that we're talking about here on |
| 0:24.5 | Breakpoint this week. Go to breakpoint.org where you'll find commentaries every day and |
| 0:29.4 | resources to help you live and think like a Christian in the current culture. John, I've got |
| 0:34.9 | stories in front of me right now about life on Venus, Middle |
| 0:38.4 | East peace deals, genocide in Africa, Americans not knowing anything about the Holocaust and even |
| 0:44.7 | a boycott against Netflix for exploiting underage actresses. And if you don't want to start |
| 0:49.6 | with any of these, we could always start with Joe Biden playing Despacito on his phone at the Hispanic Heritage |
| 0:55.5 | event. So your pick. I have not seen that headline. Is that a true story? It actually, |

| 1:04.8 | And then somebody backstage was helping him get Despacito queued up on his phone. And then he |
| 1:09.0 | comes out and just plays it in front of |
| 1:11.5 | the microphone and kind of dances back and forth a little bit. And that was his kickoff for the |
| 1:16.9 | rally. Wow. Yeah, let's go to another story then. Okay. I did say that I did say in the interest |
| 1:24.5 | of being fair to both parties that this is pretty much on par with the Cinco de Mayo Taco Bowl photo up that President Trump did a while back. |
| 1:32.6 | So I think as far as awkward goes here, as far as cringe goes, we're equal on both sides. |
| 1:37.7 | Okay. Yeah, again, let's keep going. |
| 1:40.0 | The first story I want to talk about this week, John, and you and I were discussing beforehand, |
