Summary
John Stonestreet and Shane Morris wrap up a tumultuous election week from a Christian worldview perspective. With the outcome of the election still not entirely clear, we find our nation more divided than at any time since the Civil War. How did the pollsters get this election so wrong? What do the President's gains among minority groups say about the prevailing cultural view of race and politics in America?
John and Shane also discuss the numerous and critical ballot initiatives in various states--and what those results have to say about our nation, from late-term abortion, to protecting life, to gambling, drug legalization, and sex-education for kindergarteners.
And tune in for John's fierce conviction about the absolute necessity for pastors to summon the courage to speak out on behalf of the unborn from their pulpits. As John says, those pastors who think that it's too political to say that we shouldn't be dismembering viable babies are dead wrong.
John and Shane wrap up the show with their recommendations of the week and with an in-depth discussion of a crucial religious freedom case argued before the Supreme Court: Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, in which Catholic Social Services (CSS) is suing Philadelphia over the city's decision to disallow CSS from placing foster children--simply because the Catholic organization follows Catholic teaching and won't place children with same-sex couples.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Colson Center Podcast Network. |
| 0:03.4 | 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. |
| 0:15.2 | Welcome to Break Point 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. Follow the stories we're talking about today by visiting |
| 0:24.9 | breakpoint.org, where you'll find commentaries and resources every day to help you live and think |
| 0:30.5 | like a Christian in today's culture. John, I think my favorite meme to come out of the last couple of |
| 0:35.3 | days I saw this morning, and it was a picture of Bill Murray from Groundhog Day and he said, hello folks, good morning. |
| 0:41.6 | It's election day again. |
| 0:43.5 | And I can just hear the I've got you babe song playing with the alarm and it feels like it's stretching endlessly. |
| 0:49.8 | Yeah, that's pretty good. |
| 0:50.8 | My favorite one so far is from our friend Ed Stetzer who said, |
| 0:54.4 | if Chick-fil-A, we're in charge of counting the votes, it'd all be finished by now. |
| 0:58.0 | And we'd probably all be enjoying waffle fries while we wait. So I appreciated that one, too. |
| 1:03.3 | It is, at least at some level, frustrating, understandably, for most of America, |
| 1:07.3 | although I do appreciate, you know, the need to make sure that we're counting every |
| 1:11.9 | valid vote, right? I mean, that's actually what an election actually is. But, man, it's |
| 1:16.5 | taken a long time. And we have to do this at times because some folks are going to hear this |
| 1:20.8 | on Friday. It is kind of the important things when you look at memes posted of election results. |
| 1:25.8 | You know, you need to look at the timestamp. The |
| 1:27.6 | timestamp of this recording is 4 o'clock Eastern, 2 o'clock mountain time on Thursday, |
| 1:34.6 | November the 5th. So by the time you hear this, everything we say could be somewhere between |
| 1:39.1 | irrelevant and changed, because right now it's where we've been since Tuesday, which is |
| 1:44.1 | we don't know. |
