Ep 854 | Another Christian Artist Deconstructs… And Goes Drag

Today we're talking about the former lead singer of '90s Christian band Caedmon's Call, who deconstructed and has now put out a song praising drag queens, most notably his friend “Flamy Grant.” We discuss the startling trend of Christian musicians choosing to deconstruct, usually after some acceptance or adoption of the LGBTQ lifestyle. We cover why these are linked and some other reasons that might be behind Christian artists abandoning God. Then, the Library of Congress apologized for “misgendering” an author, adding to the list of very important things governmental institutions are focusing on. We also discuss Ohio’s Issue 1 vote, which struck down a measure that would make it harder to enshrine abortion rights into Ohio law, and the troubling story coming out of Utah of a 75-year-old man who was deemed a “credible threat to the president” and killed by the FBI. Is there something even more nefarious and ideological going on behind the scenes? --- Timecodes: (00:00) Intro (04:25) Derek Webb & Flamy Grant (22:20) Why do these artists deconstruct?
