Welcome once again to the conversation. This is that matter

0:15.0

podcast. I'm going to look at some more reactions from woke adjacent

0:20.3

evangelicals on the Dobbs decision. I didn't finish them all yesterday and I think it would be important if you

0:26.9

haven't seen yesterday's episode you probably should go watch that I outlined

0:30.3

I think the four ways or categorize the four ways that a lot of social

0:35.3

justice-minded evangelicals are reacting to this whole overturning of Roe v. Wade and

0:40.1

to summarize if they do, which some of them are not, but if they do, generally they have to do so in such a way that they present themselves as politically neutral or politically moderate.
