Description
Louisiana has passed a law requiring the Ten Commandments be posted in every public school classroom. Supporters say it’s about respecting history, law, and the country’s religious heritage. Critics argue it’s completely unconstitutional. What’s really behind the new law? John Dickson says secularism in Australia is ten years ahead of the U.S., and there are valuable lessons the American church can learn from his country about how to thrive in a post-Christian society. Also this week—after two more megachurch pastor scandals we have to ask what’s wrong with our ministry culture. And whales display a dirty new defense against predators. 0.00- Intro 1:41- Show Starts 2:34 - Theme Song 2:56 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to www.hiyahealth.com/HOLYPOST to receive 50% off your first order 4:02 - Sponsor - World Relief - Visit https://worldrelief.org/holypost/ to download your family refugee guide and learn more about the Path Community 5:08 - News of the Butt 10:30 - Tony Evans and Robert Morris Step Down from Senior Pastor Roles 25:25 - 10 Commandments Must Be Displayed in Louisiana Classrooms 46:50 - Lisa Vischer Update 51:50 - Sponsor - Better Help - “This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
