Everyone seems to be talking about justice\\u2014including Christians, but how we define \\u201cjustice\\u201d in our society is hotly debated. Pastor and author Tim Keller has outlined 4 competing definitions of justice, and what sets Biblical justice apart from the rest. The Holy Post crew reviews Keller\\u2019s article and its implications. Liberty University has put Jerry Falwell Jr. on \\u201cindefinite leave.\\u201d Was it Falwell\\u2019s race-baiting, financial shenanigans, authoritarian leadership, or abuse of power that motivated Liberty\\u2019s board to act? Nope\\u2014it was a sexually-suggestive photo with Falwell holding alcohol. What does it say about what triggers evangelicals (and what doesn\\u2019t)? Also this week, friend of the show and host of the Vox Podcast, Mike Erre, talks with Skye about why Christians are drawn to conspiracy theories, and what motivated Skye to write his new book, \\u201cWhat If Jesus Was Serious?\\u201d Plus, Phil explains why he wants to live in a world where wild boar stroll into public areas with their piglets to steal things\\u2014and where naked Germans chase them.
