Christian watchdogs Jason McGuire (who leads the New York Families Foundation) and Michael Geer (who leads the Pennsylvania Family Institute) discuss the weighty issues in the news each Friday on Family Life's "Capital Connection".  Here’s what’s happening this week:

Followup:







Today's conversation mentioned Chloe Cole, whose body was medically transformed when she was underaged -- starting at 12 years old. Her personal dilemmas continued through her teen years, and as a young adult she underwent a "de-transitioning" in order to be a female. She talked about her life and her unique perspective on the so-called "gender-affirming" social movement at her Capitol Hill testimony in 2023. The August 2 Family Life News Feature offered highlights of her first-person presentation, and you can hear, share or download it from FamilyLife.org/newspodcasts.
