This is Molly Hemingway, encouraging you to listen to my favorite podcast, issues, etc.

Every day you get in-depth interviews with host Todd Wilkin asking expert guests, substantive, thought-provoking questions on all of the important news and issues of our day.

The expert guests are in culture, law, ethics, philosophy, theology,

and apologetics. Expert guests? Expansive topics. Always extolling Christ. Issues, etc.

The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't come from the government, but come from the creator, that's what the Iranian government believes.

These rights are inalienable. Now why? Because they come not from the government, but from God.

If the government creates our rights, it can take them away.

So the best thing we can do is to richly emphasize and celebrate the natural human family,

that marriage between one man and one woman is good, that children are a great blessing.

The sin of worry is ultimately the sin that God is not going

to do my will. That's what worry is. Iowa State University computer science graduates, love,

issues, etc. I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

We were told at the time when Obergefell made its way to and through the U.S. Supreme Court

that it was a relatively narrow ruling. It was really only going to give same-sex couples the same rights that heterosexual couples

had vis-a-vis marriage. But it's turned out that it's not only given them interesting new rights,

no one ever thought of before, but it's also taken away the rights of, well, mostly children.

Greetings and welcome to issues, et cetera. I'm Todd Wilkin. Thanks for tuning us in live on this Tuesday afternoon, September 9th. Katie Faustle join us. We'll be talking about the effects of same-sex marriage on children and children's rights. We'll be responding to listener email and the issues et cetera are a comment line. Then in hour two,

we'll look forward to Sunday morning according to the three-year electionary, 14th Sunday after Pentecost talking about the parable of the lost sheep and lost coin with Pastor Sean Denzer.

Katie Faust is a married mother of four children in Seattle. She's founder and director

of the children's rights organization, Them Before Us.

She's editor and author of a chapter in the book Pro Child Politics and author of a recent column for the Federalist.

Gay Marriage, Harms Kids. It's time to end it. And here's how. Katie, welcome.
