Summary

Today we're starting off with a quick Trump update before diving into news from behind the pulpit. First, Pastor Mike Todd made waves after a recent sermon in which he talks about gender identity and sexuality in a pretty bizarre way. We look at the full context of the clip and break down what he was likely trying to say and why it isn't quite as bad as the viral clip going around makes it seem (albeit still strange). We explain why we don't need caveats or apologies for what God says. Then, a progressive pastor on TikTok claims that "drag is holy," and we break down his obviously ridiculous statement. Also, another NHL player recently refused to wear a pride-themed jersey for his team's pride event. While it's good that his team supported him in choosing not to endorse the agenda, the whole situation raises the question: Why do sports teams need to make a statement about this to begin with? --- Timecodes: (00:41) Trump update (03:36) Mike Todd's recent sermon (23:23) Pastor says "drag is holy" (35:18) NHL player refuses to wear rainbow jerseys (48:54) Giveaway, merch and upcoming shows --- Giveaway: We’re giving away three prize packages, all featuring some of our advertisers' products, new Relatable merch, and a copy of Allie's signed book.

1:16.0	If you have not listened to yesterday's episode where I had my dad on, he talked about his life story, but we also talked about Trump's apparently impending arrest and what that may look like.
1:28.0	He gave some predictions based on some information that he got yesterday. Trump was not arrested yesterday.

2:10.0	This is also kind of sparked a conversation about the presidential election, whether this is going to help or hurt Trump, whether Dessantis's response is going to help or hurt him.
2:21.0	I honestly don't think this is going to stick as much as people think it will. I know it seems like that. Maybe for some people it will.
