“Bathroom bills” or “sexual identity and gender orientation” laws are hot in the news, but we step away from the politics and actually enter into a conversation on these questions.

Scientists discover a new “Darwin’s Tree of Life.” As Christians, we get to bring the real Tree of Life back into the conversation.

Ed Stetzer joins us to help define “evangelical.” This is more than a political term or a voting bloc. The Pope has issued a much anticipated teaching but what he’s teaching was certainly unexpected.
