    Boz Tchividjian on Abuse, Accountability, and the Cost of Telling the Truth

    Attorney Boz Tchividjian joins Frank Schaeffer for an honest conversation about abuse inside churches, institutional cover-ups, Christian nationalism, and the work of helping survivors seek justice. As Billy Graham’s grandson, Boz understands evangelical culture from the inside. As a lawyer, he has spent years holding institutions accountable when they fail the people they were meant to protect. Together they discuss celebrity pastors, patriarchal theology, clergy abuse, politics, and why accountability remains essential for any community that claims to value truth. _____ LINKS https://bozlawpa.com I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.

    Paul Eastwick, PhD, on Love, Attachment, and the Myths We Tell About Relationships

    Frank talks with psychologist Paul Eastwick about the science of attraction, attachment, marriage, and long-term companionship. Drawing from his book Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection, Paul challenges the idea that relationships are mostly about status, dominance, or “mate value.” Instead, he argues that humans evolved for bonding, caregiving, emotional support, and mutual dependence. The conversation also explores online dating culture, the manosphere, sexuality, compatibility, and why people often misunderstand what makes relationships work. _____ LINKS https://pauleastwick.com https://www.lovefactuallypod.com Our June It Has to Be Read. offering, Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection on Bookshop I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.
