Summary

Today we're discussing cancel culture through a theological lens. The leftist outrage mob came for a longtime NYT writer reported to have used the "N-word" in a meeting. From a biblical perspective, Christians don't need to be worried about cancel culture, since even though the standards of the world are always changing, God's standards aren't. Then, we talk to Professor William Jacobson, who created CriticalRace.org as a resource for parents and students to see what kind of ideology universities are teaching. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Club: No matter your crafting experience, you can make a picture-perfect project you'll be proud to display.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to relatable happy Tuesday. Hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far.
0:14.4	We've got a grateful episode up ahead. I am going to talk about this New York Times
0:19.6	reporter that had been writing for the paper for I think about 40 years, 30 to 40 years
0:25.7	a science writer. The cancel mob has officially canceled him. He was fired from his job for
0:31.2	repeating a racial slur in a particular context a couple years ago. We'll talk about the ever-changing
0:37.8	standards of woke righteousness and why we as Christians get to get off that hamster wheel and
0:44.8	look to real righteousness and the rest that we find in Christ. And so I'm going to talk about that
0:50.2	story and then bring it back to the freedom that we have in the gospel. And then if I have time
0:55.6	it depends on how long all of that takes. I'm also going to talk to a professor from Cornell
1:01.4	who has been he created this website to Chronicle or to to call out I guess which universities in
1:09.6	the United States are teaching critical race theory. So you can go to this website and you can
1:15.4	click on a state and it will tell you which universities are teaching critical race theory and
1:20.6	then it will tell you which courses or which programs they have been putting on that are promoting
1:26.2	that kind of ideology which is really interesting. So I want to talk to him about why he created it

1:35.9	episode will just kind of depend on how long it takes me to get through the first part of this
1:41.0	episode. Before we get into all of that I got to clarify some things. So yesterday I was talking
1:47.4	about how much I learned from the book Love Thy Body and I said that it was a book written by Nancy
1:53.9	Pelosi. It was not written by Nancy Pelosi. Now all of you who have listened to me for a long time
2:00.6	or if you're part of my women's book club with Ali Stucky on Facebook you know it was written by Nancy
2:05.2	Pierci but their names are so similar and we have to talk about Nancy Pelosi kind of frequently
2:12.4	on this podcast that it just slipped out and I didn't even realize and I guess Nolan realized
