Summary
John and Maria discuss new data from both the Centers for Disease Control and a report from a number of universities in the UK that reveal problems post-pandemic. Rates of suicide, depression, and a likely increase in pornography addiction are a few problems they unpack from recent BreakPoint commentaries.
Maria then provides insightful commentary on the crisis in Cuba. She makes the statement that many will look at the situation and claim the problem with communism is the way it was carried out, not the human heart.
John then provides insight on a movie called The God Committee that Maria recently reviewed. John gives a worldview analysis that shows how Christianity is a worldview big enough to handle the important ethical questions of the world.
To close, John and Maria discuss a commentary by Glenn Sunshine on why wokeness is a heresy that finds moral grounding and meaning in the Church.

| 0:43.2 | Before we get into it, John, I'm going to play a new game with you called Where in the World Are You Today? Because I feel like every week you're somewhere different now that the pandemic is |
| 0:48.3 | waning a little bit. Did you sell your house? Like, are you just a nomad now? |
| 0:54.3 | We're living on the road. |
| 0:55.9 | We couldn't quite pull that off. I am in an undisclosed location with an undisclosed |
| 1:03.9 | group by request of this group talking about important things. Let's just say that. |
| 1:12.1 | Undisclosed location. Okay, you made fun of me a couple weeks ago for being very |
| 1:16.1 | boogie and talking about going to Hawaii, which I agree was boogie. But now you're suggesting |
| 1:22.7 | that you're in such a clandestine spot that you can't even tell us plebeians where you are right now. |
| 1:30.3 | Yeah, that's right. |
| 1:31.0 | And for all the Baptists listening, she said boozy, not boozy, just want to make that really clear. |
| 1:37.5 | I said what I said. |
| 1:38.7 | Yeah, I just want to be clear before we lose all of our listeners. |
| 1:42.2 | No, no, no, no. |
| 1:43.0 | It's nothing like that. It's certainly |
