Episode 502: Secular Sexual Ethics, Faith, & Autism with Daniel Bowman Jr.

Published: March 30, 2022, 1 p.m.

The conservative (and maybe Christian?) satire site Babylon Bee has had their Twitter account suspended for giving a trans woman their \u201cMan of the Year\u201d award. Babylon Bee says they\u2019re being punished for speaking the truth, but are they just being mean? And an essay in the Washington Post by Christine Emba says our sexual ethic of consent alone isn\u2019t working. Has she uncovered evidence that our secular culture is more receptive to Christian sexual ethics than we thought? Then Kaitlyn Schiess talks with author, poet, and English profess Daniel Bowman Jr. about his book, \u201cOn the Spectrum: Autism, Faith, & the Gifts of Neurodiversity.\u201d Bowman, who is on the spectrum himself, dispels myths about autism and offers helpful ideas about how we can love those in our families and communities who are neurodiverse. Plus, an update from the Animal News desk.
