    Catfishing

    In this episode, Beth tells us the story of Gayle Newland of Manchester, UK. Without giving too much away, Gayle held an intimate relationship with someone while pretending to be someone else, and it all blew up (and resulted in her having charges brought against her). In this episode, we talk about all the moving parts in this story and some other interesting topics come to the surface around transgender rights and relationships. Love Happily Opinionated?

    Bernie Sanders Is Our Eagle (and other fun topics)

    This week we went through some of The 55 Most Thought-Provoking Questions to make you think from The Cut, and we got our title of this weeks' podcast from one of our answers. If that doesn't hook you enough to listen to this one, we don't know what will. After the heaviness of the previous few weeks, it was fun to have a lighter, still somewhat meaningful, discussion. We drank wine from Viansa. Check it out.  Love Happily Opinionated? Share us with a friend. The best way for us to keep doing what we do is if more people can find us and we need your help.

    Purity Culture

    In this episode, we talk about the harmful effects of Purity Culture. Whatever the intentions were/ are, the movement has failed to recognize the harmful rhetoric it created and how it has hurt many people who grew up in this environment. And, they’re speaking out about it… in MASSES! Maybe you grew up in an evangelical environment that taught purity culture or maybe this entire topic sounds foreign to you. Either way, you are going to have thoughts and feelings on this episode. You’ll either be screaming, “yes… that was me too!!” or “what the heck do people actually teach their kids??” The important thing is that we are having these conversations to create an approach to sexual education that doesn’t leave kids and grown adults with a lifetime of shame and fear.  https://lindakayklein.com/ https://theconversation.com/profiles/julie-ingersoll-428489 https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2021/03/18/purity-culture-atlanta-shooter-women-sexuality/ Love Happily Opinionated?

    Our Racist Infrastructure

    Would you believe me if I told you that the placement of the United States major highways was constructed to perpetuate racism and segregation?  This week we talked about the racist nature of the interstate highway system in the United States, and how most all major cities used roads and highways to segregate our communities and disadvantage minorities.  This was a truly mind-blowing podcast.

    Daunte Wright, the AAPI Community, and the State of America's Race Relations

    In this episode, Adam and Beth talk through the painful reality of where America is today in race relations. Daunte Wright's tragic death and the continual harassment being perpetrated against the AAPI community can’t go unnoticed. Although these subjects are difficult and discouraging, it’s important we keep a spotlight on these issues and advocate for social justice for these marginalized communities. Our hope is that you are motivated to do your part as an ally. And if you are a person who is part of a marginalized community that is being targeted by harassment, know that you are seen, loved, and believed by us.

    Evangelicals and the Covid19 Vaccine

    Of the roughly 41 Million Evangelicals in America, 45% (per a Pew Research Poll) said they would not get the Covid19 Vaccine.  As people raised by Evangelicals, this is confusing as both Beth and Adam were vaccinated as children and were taught vaccines are safe and effective. What's changed? This week, we discussed why we believe so many Evangelicals aren't getting the Covid19 Vaccine. Take a listen and let us know what you think. This week we drank a "Rootiful" wine called "Fluerie La Madone" by Domaine Chaintrueil.  You can check it out at that link or stop by Leon and Son in GR or Brooklyn and pick it up.
