Hello, relatable listeners. Welcome, welcome. Happy Valentine's Day. I hope that you guys are having a great day full of love, full of chocolate,

full of watching your favorite Netflix and doing whatever the heck you want. But the reality is that you guys are probably driving to work right now or you're probably just having a regular day.

But I hope that you at least do something fun, whether it's with your spouse, whether it's with your significant other, whether it's with your dog. I hope that you feel love today and that you have a wonderful, wonderful Valentine's Day in the spirit of love.

We are going to talk about that very subject. We're going to use a topic that a lot of you guys sent to me and asked for my thoughts on and we're going to use that as a jumping off point.

So as you guys have noticed, have noticed over the past few weeks, I have kind of started doing, okay, Tuesday is politics and kind of what's going on in the news and then Thursday is more theological.

I might stay in that vein. If you guys like it, you can give me your feedback. I look at the stats on my podcast, you know, every few days or so. And it always seems like Thursday. You guys really love the more kind of biblical world view topics.

Not necessarily more than the politics, but it just seems like you guys really respond well to that. So if that's something that you like, please let me know send me a message on Instagram.

Speaking of Instagram messages, this is a topic that I did receive from a few of you via Instagram message. And that is the drama that played out between Chris Pratt, who is an actor from Parks and Rack, who I really, really like, by the way, and Ellen Page also an actor and actress.

He posted on Instagram in response to the drama and we're going to get into all of that. But let me back up just a little bit for those of you who don't know what happened. So Chris Pratt was on Stephen Colbert.

He talked about this kind of 21 day fast that he's doing with his church. And I'll show you that clip.

Do you ever feel like you're in the Lions Den by being like celebrity and the public guy with, you know, people always trying to figure out what's going on. Chris Pratt and the cameras pointing at you.

You ever feel like you're in the Lions Den, Chris Pratt?

Yes, yeah, I suppose I do. Yeah, I do.

There's this great quote that I actually heard in church and it felt like it really appropriate, which was, if the spotlight that's shining on you is brighter than the light that that comes from within you, it'll kill you.

So they're just talking about, you know, his, his faith, what he what he's doing with his church, Chris Pratt has been pretty outspoken about being a Christian. He said some good stuff in the past. I just like Chris Pratt and that I think that he's extremely positive that he is okay with going against the grain. He's been called out in the past for not being politically correct enough.

And I kind of love when actors, especially famous actors that are so well liked in Hollywood kind of push back against the status quo of political correctness, of course, within bounds, not just being rude to be rude, but, you know, just being a normal guy like he's gotten in trouble for hunting in the past.

And I'm like, you, you go, Chris Pratt, you go.

Well, Ellen Page had a hard time with this Stephen Colbert clip and she quote tweeted it and she said, oh, okay, um, but his church is infamously anti LGBT Q. So addressed. So maybe address that too. She says, and then she also said in a subsequent tweet.

If you are a famous actor and you belong to an organization that hates a certain group of people don't be surprised if someone simply wonders why it's not addressed being anti LGBT Q is wrong. There aren't two sides.

The damage it causes is severe full stop, sending love to all. So let me just pause for a second and say I love when people say full stop as if that ends the conversation as if okay, if I say full stop, then you can't have anything to say back.

You can't have a retort. You don't get to have a response because I said full stop. I said on Twitter that I'm going to start using those words after every controversial opinion I have. So you can't argue with me like what a burger is better than in and out full stop.

Third, I blind better than Pearl Jam full stop. I'm just going to start saying that so you guys can't argue with me anymore. I think that makes me the objective authority on everything if I start using those two words.
