If a person is convicted of robbing a bank, they are barred for life from ever being even a teller. Why should a stealer of grace be allowed in the pulpit ever again.

Can NDA’s for illegal acts actually be upheld in court?

Thanks everyone for this episode and all the great content. I’m glad you are continuing to report and discuss the predator / pastor situation happening in the church. It’s not going away and something needs to be done. Sorry I'm behind on listening. Going to try and catch up on past episodes this week.

The heaven and Earth grocery store is a great book!

Sadly, my first reaction is yet another church?

Good afternoon from the beautiful SF Bay Area. Thank you so much for these excellent discussions. First, I have always been impressed that Billy Graham set up his organization whereby his salary was set along with his raises, AND he was never to be alone with a woman not his wife. These two decisions governed a morally upstanding organization. Second, I really appreciated your observations on European politics and how they intersect with America. We are in very tenuous times and need all the spiritual support we can muster. Blessings.

The reality is that we have had not quite 50 years of Reaganism and Thatcherism. The anti/pre New Deal ideology behind this has indeed taken us back, in many ways, to the 1920s economically. As a result, look around the world: Far right, and to a lesser extent, far left movements have taken root in ways we have not seen since the 1920s and 1930s. The economic disparities of a century ago have reappeared. The social disruptions of a century ago have reappeared. We have to get past Thatcherism (which preceded Reaganism by three years).
