Gretchen Baskerville and Natalie Hoffman analyze the harmful messages in 'Lies Women Believe' by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. They critique the book's teachings on marriage, sex, divorce, and abuse. They discuss challenging evangelical marital ideologies, faith and temptation, communication patterns in marriage, traditional gender roles, trauma's impact on intimacy, and advocating for better teachings in churches.

Andrew Whitehead, author of American Idolatry, discusses the challenges of disentangling beliefs from politics and national heritage. They explore the impact of Billy Graham on Christianity and the importance of faith accompanied by works. They also delve into the significance of Jesus claiming fulfillment in the present moment and the challenge of bringing evidence-based decision making to Christians. The need to overcome divisiveness in politics and embrace different viewpoints is emphasized.
