Summary

The feud between Florida’s governor and Disney is getting hotter with new leaked footage of a Disney executive speaking about the company’s goals for LGBTQ representation. What are both the Right and Left getting wrong in the debate, and why should we see sexual orientation and gender identity as different from race? Also, new studies show an alarming rise in mental health disorders among teens, but there’s some good news for those involved in religious communities. Plus, Derwin Gray is back to talk about his new book, “How to Heal our Racial Divide.” He shares how his church is taking the call for racial reconciliation “from the seats to the streets,” and why so many church leaders remain afraid to talk about race.

0:00.0	This is episode 503 of The Holy Post. On today's show, the feud between Florida's
0:05.3	governor and Disney is getting hotter, with new leaked footage of a Disney executive speaking
0:10.0	about the company's goals for LGBTQ representation. We talk about both what the right and left
0:15.6	are getting wrong in the debate, and why it isn't quite right to see sexual orientation and gender
0:20.8	identity as analogous to race. Then there are multiple new studies showing an alarming rise in
0:26.2	mental health disorders among teens, but there is some good news for those who are involved in
0:31.0	religious communities. Then podcast friend Durwin Gray is back to talk about his new book How to
0:36.7	Heal a Racial Divide. He talks about how his church is taking the call for racial reconciliation
0:42.4	from the seats and into the streets, and why so many church leaders remain so afraid to talk
0:47.9	about issues of race and justice. Thank you so much for joining us. Let's get into it here is

1:28.0	going to be stepping back into more of a behind the scenes role. I'm just kind of as things have
1:31.9	changed and everything's adjusted. I'm going to be stepping back. I'm still going to be editing
1:36.4	the show. I'll be a part of the team. I'm still going to be, you know, making cracking jokes on
1:40.0	Twitter. But yeah, so I just need to kind of focus on some other projects. So I'm not going to
1:45.8	be appearing on the Holypost anymore. But I'll still be on the movie proposal with Sky and Josh.
1:50.3	So and documentary first and documentary first with Christian and Josh.
