Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith & Culture

This week, Scott & Sean discuss:

• Artificial Intelligence and Truth: Discussion on how AI, through deep fakes and misinformation, challenges our ability to discern truth, potentially leading to an era of distrust.
• Study on Gender Dysphoria: A Finnish study finding that gender dysphoria does not increase suicide risk and that gender-affirming care does not decrease it, challenging current narratives around transgender care.
• Gen X and Diversity: An analysis of generational perspectives on diversity, noting that Gen X's experiences could offer a balanced view on racial and ideological diversity.
• Alabama's Embryo Case Update: Reflections on the legal and ethical implications of an Alabama Supreme Court decision regarding embryos as persons, and its impact on IVF and embryo adoption.
• Listener Question: Women in church leadership
• Listener Question: Navigating feelings of guilt over past actions with embryos
• Listener Question: Followup on "Social Justice Fallacies" episode
