Lurie Daniel Favors welcomes theologian and spiritual leader EbonyJanice to examine Rwanda's closure of nearly 10,000 churches that failed to meet new government regulations on theological education, building codes, and sanitation. They explore the tension between preventing religious exploitation and respecting spiritual autonomy, questioning who has the authority to regulate faith practices. The conversation delves into personal spiritual connections versus institutional religion, the weaponization of Christianity throughout history, and how colonialism has shaped our relationship with spirituality. EbonyJanice encourages listeners to trust their inner knowing—their 'ori'—rather than blindly following external religious authorities, while acknowledging the importance of community in spiritual practice.

Lurie breaks down the Heritage Foundation's newly published plan 'Saving America by Saving Marriage,' which outlines a vision for American society that would severely limit women's autonomy. The plan advocates for fewer women attending college, pushing early marriage and childbearing, banning same-sex marriage and IVF, limiting contraception access, and imposing conservative Christianity as a national religion. She connects this plan to Project 2025 and the Save Act, explaining how these initiatives work together to create a patriarchal society by first restricting women's voting rights. She warns that if the Save Act passes, up to 69 million married women could lose their ability to vote, paving the way for implementing this broader agenda. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
