D.I.D., Mental Health & the Church
Paul, April & Jeremy start by talking about semi-famous people who attacked them this week (Skillet, Ben Shapiro). Then they get into the meat of the show: mental health and how evangelicals get it wrong.
Jenna Kraft ( @Gianu System ) joins the show to talk about her story with having D.I.D. (dissociative identity disorder), how their system works and how she's not demon-possessed despite being accused of that. She uses her platform to break down the stigma around D.I.D. and other mental health issues. We discuss where the church has got it wrong in how they handle mental health.

Liz Cheney, Leaving the Republican Party & the Best Hate Comment Yet
The gang talks about Liz Cheney and the state of the GOP. After months of baseless election fraud claims and extremism becoming the norm, Paul officially changed his voter registration and left the Republican party. We discuss why we can no longer be Republican and how that relates to the lowest numbers of church attendance in history.
And based on our favorite hate comment, we discuss which one of us is the beast, the anti-christ and the false prophet.
