Curtis: I'm also really looking forward to the play offs. The fighting spirit is one we all share, and one that will delo celebrate anywhere you cal home,. Because it doesn't matter where you come from. It matters what you're made lodella beed for those wut fighting spirit trick response to the beer imported by crowningport, chicago, illinois. And in our pro bascist tribe, within whatever christian church wer part if they come after the basketball court, david, you and i will lock arms and defend that court. Tolerant person, but don't come after my basketball court.

This week David and Curtis offer a follow up discussion on fundamentalism, clarifying some key points from the previous episode and diving deeper into how we can become fundamentalists without even knowing it! Do our increasingly homogenous social groups perhaps push us toward fundamentalism and even radicalization? How might the presence of even a few diverse voices impact these groups? This then leads to a discussion about liberal democracy and how it is under assault, not just globally (as in Russia/Ukraine), but even here in the US. How should our Christian faith inform things like our system of government and our embrace (or rejection) of liberal democracy?
