You're listening to Breakpoint this week where we're talking about the top stories of the week from a Christian worldview.

Today we're going to talk about Laura Perry Smaltz, who shared her story at the Lighthouse Voices event this year about her detransition and her

conversion to Christ. We're also going to talk about a new book by Abigail Schreier

looking at the way that therapy and counseling has affected the mental health of millions of children.

We have a lot to get to today.

We're so glad you're with us.

Please stick around.

Welcome to Breakpoint this week.

From the Colston Center for Christian

worldview. I'm Maria Bear alongside John Stone Street president of the Colston

Center. John my daughter just came home from school and she told me that she was

seeing this paper floating around through all the classrooms

and some of the teachers were filling it out and she couldn't believe it because it

looked the exact same as the paper that daddy used when we had a tournament

for our Hot Wheels cars. So she's like mom all the teachers know about Hot Wheels and I was like I think you're referring to a bracket for something called March Madness and she was like I heard them say that and so I I didn't

really set her straight because I like her thinking that it's about Hot Wheels but it

did made me wonder if you filled out your bracket I felt like I should ask you

because I did in fact Hunter filled out of

bracket no very good so we'll see how he did he went with Long Beach state

because he thought it was it sounded nice as a good place.

I have been known to fill out a bracket and make my decisions based on the colors of the team.

So he's got Long Beach State going to the Final Four.
