French Friday: It's Time to Amend the Constitution
An amendment to the Constitution has not been ratified since 1992, and with the political corruption and chaos of recent years, some believe we are overdue. Skye Jethani talks with David French about what's broken within the American government, why our political parties are unlikely to fix it, and why the survival of the republic might depend on a spiritual awakening among evangelicals. 0:00 - Theme Song 8:02 - Has the Two-Party System Gotten Worse? 16:00 - The Purpose of Parties 24:40 - Malformative News Media 56:09 - The Need for Virtuous Leaders 1:04:30 - End Credits

French Friday: The Gaines, Gaza, and "The Bear"
Some Christians are calling for Chip and Joanna Gaines to be cancelled because their new HBO home improvement show features a married same-sex couple. David French and Skye Jethani discuss whether it’s really a principled stand for traditional Christian values, or a target of opportunity for online trolls. Scenes of starvation in Gaza are provoking international outrage, and even Israeli human rights organizations are now calling the situation a “genocide.” As Israel’s most important ally, what is America’s responsibility? And season 4 of “The Bear” includes powerful themes of repentance and redemption. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:58 - Chip and Joanna Gaines Controversy 20:18 - Pluralism 29:35 - Gaza Update 35:47 - Laws of War 45:48 - Moral Injury 51:19 - The Bear and Repentance 1:06:15 - End Credits
