Village Church Pastor Matt Chandler announced he is stepping away from the pulpit after sliding into the DMs of a woman who is not his wife but claim there was nothing romantic or sexual about it. Is there more to the story or was his sin having a female friend? We discuss and go into the depth on the Billy Graham Rule (that no man should ever be alone with a woman who is not his wife). Then we talk about Biden's 10k student loan forgiveness and the response from conservative christians. And we end with a super fun Billy Graham Rule inspired Mad Lib.
