Summary

John and Maria discuss the fatal shooting of Dante Wright in Minneapolis. Maria shares how a compassionate response is effective to step forward in love as a community.

Maria then introduces a new take on the saga in transgender athletes in collegiate athletics. New actions by the NCAA are putting states in a challenging position to say what isn't true and redesign women's athletics.

John and Maria close the program reflecting on the Supreme Court's decision regarding a case out California. Pastor Jeremy Wong and California resident Karen Busch sued the state after being barred from holding Bible studies and prayer meetings in their home. The court upheld lower court rulings, allowing the pair to continue prayer meetings, in a 5-4 decision by the High Court.

0:16.0	We're also going to talk about college sports and the NCAA threatening to pull championships from states that aim to
0:22.9	keep men from participating in women's sports. So we have a lot to talk about today. We're looking
0:28.3	forward to it. Thanks for joining us. Welcome to Breakpoint this week. On behalf of the Colson Center for
0:34.2	Christian Worldview, I'm Maria Bear, alongside John Stone Street, our president. We have a lot to talk about today, but John, I'm sort of riding high. I went to
0:42.4	the Gospel Coalition Women's Conference last weekend, and I had so much fun. It felt like church
0:48.0	camp for adults. And some sort of, it's sort of a's out. Did you go to church camp as a kid? No, you weren't a Christian as a kid, right? Okay, excuse me. I was a Christian as a kid. That's a loaded question. I did not go to church camp. I grew up in the Catholic church camp isn't really a thing. So we did, I did vocation Bible school in the summers, but no church camp for me. Man, church camp was a fixture. I mean, a fixture growing up for me every year at this property in the middle of the woods

1:29.6	Put it somewhere where there's no mosquitoes or biting gnats.
1:32.6	These things were vicious and they got us.

1:54.4	have it so good. Were you so upset about that? I was so upset. I was like, you know, when I was a kid, we used to have to walk back and
