Visitation Sessions (A Podcast)

What is feminism? Is it really rotten root and branch? Can Christians call themselves feminists? What do proponents and opponents of feminism get right? What do they get wrong? Why does Emily know so much about Mary Wollstonecraft? And why is it so important to never respond to an email when Casey is talking?
All this and more in the first part of our conversation about feminism.

This week, we’re talking about why it’s so hard for Catholics to find love, marriage, and that baby carriage, and how so much of the current conversation around dating is missing the mark.
P.S. We recorded this talk before the Chapmans left town both for a family funeral and to spend time with Emily’s mom, who is not doing well. Please keep them in your prayers.

Social media was supposed to bring the world closer together. It was supposed to make it easier for us to understand each other, grow in knowledge, and make more informed judgements about current events. Instead, it’s often done the opposite. This week, in the wake of events in Minnesota, Switzerland, Venezuela, and Washington, DC, we’re walking through minefields as we discuss how the changing nature of journalism and the ascent of social media has contributed to confusion, chaos, political polarization, and apathy. We also hunt around for some answers about how Christians are called to navigate the whole ungodly mess.
