Summary
John Stonestreet and Shane Morris discuss the news of the week from a biblical worldview perspective. As expected, riots broke out in Louisville and across the country in the wake of the grand jury's decision in the Breonna Taylor case. Are we caught in a self-perpetuating cycle of violence and injustice--real and perceived?
John and Shane also discuss a new bill in Congress to protect women from having to compete against biological male athletes--even if it doesn't pass, it opens a debate that transgender activists insist on shutting down.
They start the show, however, with a discussion of the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the implications of replacing her before the election.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Colson Center Podcast Network. |
| 0:04.0 | This is Breakpoint this week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission with John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview. |
| 0:15.6 | Welcome to Breakpoint this week. I'm Shane Morris, and I'm here with John Stone Street to talk about the stories of the week from a Christian worldview perspective. |
| 0:23.0 | Follow the stories that we're talking about here at breakpoint.org where you'll find commentaries every day and resources to help you live and think like a Christian in today's culture. |
| 0:33.2 | John, we mentioned this on the Q&A podcast earlier this week, but so often we put this show to bed a day before the weekend begins, and then something really big happens just beforehand. |
| 0:44.2 | And that was the case this past week. |
| 0:46.8 | We did the breakpoint this week's show. |
| 0:48.7 | And then news broke that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice, had died. And then the ensuing week of news |
| 0:56.9 | was focused on the effort to fill the Supreme Court that they can see there that President |
| 1:02.4 | Trump now has to decide whether to fill and with whom to fill it. And that's been the source of |
| 1:07.9 | endless wrangling over the course of this week. And so we want to open the show today by talking about that. |
| 1:12.9 | Yeah, it brings up a number of issues. |
| 1:14.4 | One is how do you talk about the legacy of a larger than life historic figure like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, |
| 1:19.9 | somebody popular and pop culture even, which is a unique status for Supreme Court justice to attain? |
| 1:27.2 | So that's one side of it. And then, of course, |
| 1:29.4 | what's the legacy of her support for abortion? And her advance of the feminist movement, |
| 1:35.5 | you know, an equating of that, really, with abortion, had a, you know, just, I think, a very |
| 1:40.4 | helpful conversation earlier this week with Kim Colby from Christian Legal Society about |
| 1:44.9 | the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And, you know, as someone who graduated from Harvard Law, |
| 1:50.0 | you know, she, Kim Colby helped, you know, kind of articulate that, you know, look, there was |
| 1:54.9 | some opening of doors for women in the legal profession that Ginsburg certainly is a part of. And yet, her, you know, |
| 2:04.4 | equivocation of female advancement in women's rights with abortion is, you know, there you go. |
