#154 Do Pro-Lifers Care About Women? John Cooper and Ginna Cross
Have you ever shared your pro-life view, only to be told something like: "pro-lifers are really just pro-birth!" Or "pro-lifers don't care about women, they just want to keep them from aborting their babies." Or "Christians don't care what happens to babies after they are born!"Recently, on the Cooper Stuff podcast, John Cooper interviewed Ginna Cross, the director of a pregnancy resource center in Kenosha, Wisconsin. She addressed these misconceptions with hard facts and data. I was so blown away by the insightful discussion that I reached out to John to ask if I could publish the episode to my podcast and he graciously gave permission.

Her academic background with a historical focus on 19th century literature informed my Marx, Darwin, and Freud has given her a unique understanding of how our culture has been influenced by these historical figures when it comes to sexuality and identity.

#145 The Problem of Evil and how Progressives Fail to Give a Meaningful Answer, w/ Doug Groothuis
Is it possible to find meaning in suffering? This was a question philosopher Doug Groothuis had to grapple with not just from an intellectual standpoint as a seminary professor and author of a respected apologetics textbook. He had to wrestle through this question emotionally when his wife Becky was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia that would take her life. His insights are powerful and profound and ultimately put the goodness and sovereignty of God on display.
