Dan Koch joins the show to talk about the transformation that fatherhood has caused in him. We then speculate about the role of church in our and our children's futures with how the decline of the church as a social cohesion force may be replaced or challenged with numerous organizations, religions, and cults. This thought-line prompts the "bad cult member thought experiment" in which one seeks to analyze or overcome group-think associated with the social groups they participate in.   Links & Sponsors: BadChristian.com thebcclub.com BCx69 Challenge: thebcclub.com/fall69 Check out Emery's new album "White Line Fever" at emerymusic.com Pre-Order "I'm Only A Man" Update on vinyl: emerymusic.com/ioam Brooklinen: brooklinen.com code BADDCHRISTIAN Join Emeryland: emerymusic.com Are You Listening: A Streamo Show: areyoulistening.tv Marriage Supply
