Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After comparing notes on Mother’s Day, Ken and Betsey dive into Ken’s most recent Substack. Bart Ehrman, a fellow graduate of Ken’s Bible School, gave up his Christian faith over the problem of evil. He’s not alone. Theologian Thomas Oord has written a book that addresses the problem. He proposes that we focus not on an Omnipotent (all-powerful) God but on a God of Love. Betsey shares her personal crisis of faith as she watched the Twin Towers fall on 9/11. Then they turn to the headlines: the scheduled Biden/Trump debates and the criminal trial in Manhattan. When Trump’s Vice Presidential hopefuls showed up en masse for a press conference in which they parroted the former President’s grievances word for word, the nation got a preview of things to come. Ken calls out Senator John Thune for his support of Kari Lake. Finally, Betsey shares her Sunday morning experience in a Progressive Episcopalian Church on the north shore of Chicago. SHOW NOTES
