606: Alabama Embryos & Catechizing Kids with Todd Hains & Natasha Kennedy

Last week the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos created for in-vitro fertilization have the legal status of children, essentially ending all IVF treatments in the state. Some are applauding the ruling as both a morally and theologically consistent affirmation of human life. But others, including some Christians, are saying the pro-life movement is taking things too far. Then, how do we teach kids the core doctrines of the Christian faith when most adults in our churches don’t know them either? Kaitlyn interviews the creators of a new series of children’s books designed to catechize both kids and their parents. Also this week, a new survey suggests Christian Nationalism is in decline, but we think the data is hot garbage.   Holy Post Plus Holy Post Office - Should We Submit to Pastors? https://www.patreon.com/posts/99317884/   0:00 - Intro 2:13- Show Starts 3:47 - Theme Song 4:09 - Sponsor - Hiya Health - Go to www.hiyahealth.com/HOLYPOST to receive 50% off your first order 5:14 - Sponsor - Fabric by Gerber Life Join the thousands of parents who trust Fabric to protect their family.
