Covered a bunch of topics suggested by social media interactions, including a discussion of special and general revelation, natural theology, and all that area of discussion, and then a brief look at Thomistic “inseparable operations” and its (unnecessary) complication of the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. Will plan to continue that topic tomorrow, Lord willing.
Jumped all over the place today, to be honest, on a number of topics. One was my insistence that you need to buy and actually read, or listen to, Abigail Shrier’s Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.

Great calls on the program today, followed by an examination of some comments in the Hitchens/D’Souza/Prager debate from 2008.
Briefly addressed the continuing evidence that the folks at The Deen Show aren’t overly concerned about actually doing serious dawa, and then took a lot of calls on, well, a lot of topics! Wide ranging program, or, if I was trying to sell you on listening, “something for everyone!” And don’t forget the WayBack Machine, streaming Dividing Lines from 1998
James brings his children into the studio today and introduces them to the audience. Josh and Summer tell about passing out tracts to Mormons with their dad. James explains how he teaches them about being rejected for the gospel and why that happens.
