Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hill
Q: What is The Hill and why do Cody and others describe it this way?
The Hill is a perceived spiritual meeting place described by Cody and others where they connect with Jesus and interact with spiritual beings; it is not universally verifiable and is discussed through personal testimonies and religious interpretation.
The edge of accountability - Part II
Q: What happened during the FBI interaction described in the episode?
G-men visited the Sivage and Haim households; Vanessa and her husband were confronted with questions framed as exposing wrongdoing, creating an intimidating atmosphere.
News Monger
Q: What was the central ethical dilemma in publishing the Copeland story?
The dilemma was balancing public interest and accountability for a public official with respect for private life, considering potential harm and legal risk, and determining if the information was of legitimate public concern.
Fighting for Sabbath rest
Q: Is there just no way, there's just no circumstances where I'd ever go work on a Sunday?
For me, my conviction is that real, that I had to say no, even though I understand the awkwardness of that situation, it's about obeying God for me.
A Digital Revolt
Q: How are you different?
I feel more present, attentive and thoughtful. And I feel more mindful of how I'm spending my time, if that makes sense. And I don't feel captive anymore like I used to.
