    SPECIAL: Is the SC House GOP Caucus being coercive? (Yes!!) Discussion & Debate with SC Rep. Gatch

Gil Gatch (pro- agreement) to cover all these questions. What do you think?

    From the Campaign Trail to the SC State House: Interview with Representative Adam Morgan

    On this episode we are joined by a very special guest and a good friend of ours, representative Adam Morgan. Adam is a husband and father, an attorney, a business owner, a musician, a deacon at his local church, an active young Republican, and an elected state house representative for district 20 right here in Greenville. Meagan and I had the opportunity to chat with Adam about his journey into politics, current issues in our state, and how local government at the state level is vastly different than government on a national scale. It’s an informative and fun conversation that you don’t want to miss. Instagram: @adam_michael_morgan Twitter: @RepAdamMorgan Facebook: Adam Morgan - SC State House Representative

    What's it REALLY like to be in Congress? Interview with Congressman William Timmons

    In this short, but jam-packed episode (only 20 minutes!) we go behind the scenes with young Republican, businessman, and Greenville native, Congressman William Timmons. We discuss the unique challenges facing our elected leaders in Congress and the sometimes surprising facts about what it’s really like serving as District 4’s representative in DC. We asked William what does a typical day look like and is it anything like what we see on some of our favorite political dramas. Curious? You’ll have to listen and find out.

    Why Are Women Leaving the Church?

    Meagan and Laura Beth discuss a question deeply connected to the Christian faith community: Why are women leaving the church? Studies have shown a significant decrease in women’s church attendance over the past few decades. In this episode they cover not only the possible causes and challenges of this issue - but also ways both churches and women can intentionally grow. Meagan and Laura Beth do not claim to be scholars of this particular topic — but they are are two young, single women, deeply connected to their respective local churches. They have both seen the effects of their peers leaving a ministry and they hope, through this discussion, to shed some light on this, perhaps, overlooked area.

    Can We Save Women's Sports in SC? Interview with SC Rep. Ashley Trantham

    This past week on March 16th, South Carolina Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee tabled the Save Women’s Sports Act. This prevented it from moving forward through the legislative process and becoming a law. This act was intended to protect the arena of women-only sports for girls in South Carolina schools. We decided to record this episode as an urgent response, to help inform you about what is going on right now in our State House. And if you don’t live in South Carolina, we urge to be on the lookout for mirroring legislation in your state, and of course, to make your voice heard. We were able to secure an interview with Representative Ashley Trantham, and Meagan sits down with her to learn about the specifics of the bill, what prevented it from going through, and how we can do better in the future.
