The Morality of Mask Wearing?
Mask moralizing and scolding still happens on both sides of the aisle. But rather than taking sides, what if we saw masks as a window into how humans think about morality? What can the masks wars teach us about how different groups define "moral" and "immoral," and how might that be a gateway into a less judgmental perspective toward both sides? In this episode, we look at the "moral tastebuds" God's given every human to cultivate. We explore what it looks like, even during the mask battles, to trust God as the ultimate food critic, who can define what really tastes and good and evil.
