Krista honestly explores how facts have become slippery, why fact-checkers and official narratives often eroded trust further (especially during the pandemic), and the very real human cost: fractured relationships. She acknowledges the confusion many Christians feel while pointing toward hope and the ultimate anchor in God’s unchanging Word.

Several major Christian institutions use the Side B approach to disciple college students, including Biola University and CRU. Brady draws from his own journey out of the LGBTQ life to explain what Side B actually teaches, how it differs from both Side A and biblical discipleship, and why labeling ourselves by our attractions undermines the full freedom the gospel provides.

Why I Think America Should Be an Explicitly CHRISTIAN Nation
May 700:24:35Tap to summarizeKrista examines how the Founders took for granted a biblical moral framework.

Krista reads Dr. Albert Mohler’s 2024 article, “What Is Missing from Our Constitutional Order?” and explores why the American experiment in religious liberty needs boundaries.
