| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Breakpoint podcast. In our Q&A segment, Ask the Colson Center. I'm Shane Morris, host of the upstream podcast and one of the writers for Breakpoint. I am joined by John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center, and the voice of Breakpoint. Today, we're answering your questions. These were sparked by Breakpoint commentaries, short courses, and the |
| 0:21.6 | Colson Fellows program. If you'd like to send us a question to answer here on the program, |
| 0:26.2 | just send us an email at ask the Colson center at colsoncenter.org. Well, John, before you came on, |
| 0:33.3 | Wayne and I were talking about the sort of Christmas break slump that happens between, |
| 0:38.5 | you know, Christmas and New Year's. And this show will be out before then. But I feel like |
| 0:43.6 | our audience has not participated at all in the Christmas slump that we're all supposed to do, |
| 0:49.8 | because all these questions have to do with regular everyday worldview issues and conundra |

| 1:42.7 | times how he's dumped Netflix for their |
| 1:44.9 | sexualizing of children in QD's. Could you discuss a framework for what lines I should draw for |
| 1:50.2 | withholding my support from certain companies? Ought I cancel Amazon because of its attempted |
| 1:55.5 | censorship of books, AT&T, for its parent companies disdain for conservative values. I don't want to cancel people |
| 2:02.5 | with whom I disagree, but I do believe some moral values cross the line. |
| 2:07.5 | Yeah, I think the only line that we get in Scripture is your conscience. I think the |
