“Vitally important stories about so-called “Christians” and their pursuit of white nationalism. Democracy and pluralism are under threat from the cowardly “Christians.” We all need to be paying attention. Grapevine and Southlake are truly vile, racist, homophobic places. Ignore the trolls from...”Read full review »

“I am all for trans rights and I think the Christian Right is wasting their time trying to fight this in our youth. They’re too smart. But I also found an absence of critical thinking in this podcast pretty glaring. Why has there been an exponential increase in female to male transitions seeking...”Read full review »

“In the first episode they claim there has been no evidence to suggest teachers are encouraging kids to change gender. And then they proceed to give a documented example of a lesbian teacher encouraging a confused boy to do just that. Trump, Christians and parents are blamed but these teachers are...”Read full review »

“Could not listen beyond first episode. This is merely promoting and encouraging a ridiculous ideology and woke movement. And, as usual blaming Donald Trump for aligning with Christians. There are two gender assignments and it’s ludicrous to promote anything otherwise.”
