Summary

Segment 1:



• A major story is unfolding in evangelical circles—but Todd isn’t covering it yet.



• Sharing speculation without facts equals gossip or slander.



• Sometimes silence is the most biblical response if you can't be helpful.



Segment 2:



• Jim Bakker's back—asking for $1,000 to avoid homelessness.



• 2 Peter 2 exposes these greedy false teachers who exploit vulnerable people.



• While Judas scorned Mary’s generosity, Jesus praised it—true worship always costs something.



Segment 3:



• Self-diagnosed "neurodivergence" is exploding—especially in the UK.



• Autism diagnoses have jumped 780% in recent years.



• Are we pathologizing normal behavior—or missing real issues?



Segment 4:



• New Pope Leo XIV: conservative on doctrine, progressive on climate.



• Joy Behar and The View are confused (and worried) about the mix.



• False leaders who mislead others? Scripture says they are anathema—cursed.
