People want to know what drives us, especially in a world with social media, where everyone's looking for the next authentic thing.

For me, that's my faith. Most of the decisions I make are based on that golden rule that says we love our neighbor as ourself.

And that parable of the Good Samaritan that says everyone is our neighbor. And so when I've taken actions like vetoing the nastiest piece of anti-LGB

legislation that ever came through my state, I described it in those terms. I said,

my faith teaches me that all children are children of God. And I didn't want people picking on

those kids. Yeah, 100% agree. That's Kentucky Governor Andy Bashir.

Speaking recently on ABC's The View,

well, what he vetoed was a Senate bill

that would have protected minors from gender transition procedures.

And he says he did it based on his Christian views and the Bible.

Greetings now, welcome to issues, et cetera, live on this Friday afternoon, February the 13th.

I'm Todd Wilkin. Thanks for tuning us in. Dr. Michael Carlino joins us from Boyce College in Louisville,

Kentucky to talk about Governor Beshear's statements. Dr. Charles Camoso be alongside. We'll conclude our two-part series with him on bioethics for nurses. Carol Tobias of National Right to Life will join us for a conversation on the state of abortion in the U.S. It's good news and bad news. And then we'll look forward to Sunday morning according to Luther's Catechisms and the three-year election, to the Transfiguration of Our Lord with Pastor Peter Bender. Dr. Michael Carlino is operations director

for the Council on Biblical Manhood and Wilburnthood. He's adjunct professor of Christian

theology at Boyce College in Louisville, Kentucky, and author of a recent column for World News Group

titled Calling Evil Good. Dr. Carlino, welcome. Thank you. Happy to be here.

How do politicians and lawmakers on the left often misuse the Bible to justify their progressive

ideas? Yeah, well, what I mentioned in my piece is it sort of flows out with theology because I'm a

theologian first and then a cultural commentator.
