Summary
Jon examines why Christians are shifting their view of MLK Jr. Martin Luther King's legacy remained unquestioned by both neo-conservatives and progressives for many years but that is starting to change, especially on the conservative side. As newer voices expose MLK's radical ideas, Christians are reexamining his faith, morality, and political views. Some Christians are evening shifting their view of MLK's "I Have a Dream Speech."
Jon examines both contemporary voices like Daniel Darling, Josh Buice, Owen Strachan, Mike Pence, Christopher Rufo, Ron Desantis, Paul Kengor, Charlie Kirk, Virgil Walker as well as older conservative voices like Sam Francis and Christopher Caldwell.
Most of the podcast simply examines MLK in his own words borrowing from speech compilations from the Autobiography of MLK and The Radical MLK.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. We're live on the Conversations that Matter podcast today. It's a snowy day where I am. I am actually watching the snow. Out my window right now come down. It's actually debatable. Is it snow or is it sleep? It kind of goes back and |
| 0:25.5 | forth because we're right at that around I think 30 degrees or so so it kind of like jumps jumps but I it's not the kind of day you want to go out and I'll put it that way if it's a little |
| 0:38.1 | colder it's not as bad if it's warmer it's rain and obviously it's not as bad but it's right when it's on the edge that you really don't want to go out. |
| 0:46.2 | So actually I was supposed to meet up with a patron today for lunch and we had to cancel because of it. |
| 0:52.1 | So playing it safe. I used to not have the |
| 0:56.5 | luxury of doing that because I drove for a living for so many years. I was part of my job at |
| 1:00.5 | least and so it didn't matter what the conditions were generally I mean there |
| 1:04.4 | is very rare that I would be allowed to not go into work and so I'm grateful to be able to |
| 1:11.5 | sit here and do this podcast today instead and get a couple other things done. |
| 1:16.4 | Some writing, some, oh by the way I should say if you are subscribed to Truth Script Tuesday, that's going to be later this evening. |
| 1:26.4 | I'm going to put that out there as well. |
| 1:28.3 | So you get two in one day. |
| 1:30.8 | That's how it goes. |
| 1:31.8 | But you can't get two in one day unless you're |
| 1:33.7 | subscribed. So you got to go to whether that's iTunes or Spotify or wherever you |
| 1:38.8 | subscribe to audio podcast or if it's on YouTube you got to go to the |
| 1:41.7 | YouTube channel for Truth Script and |

| 1:50.4 | appreciate the prayers. |
| 1:52.6 | Thank you. |
