## Resource

Host Jerry Eicher (Anabaptist perspective) unpacks a week of cultural watershed moments: the Lindsay Clancy murder trial and the surprising public support it revealed; a provocative quote from Matt Walsh and a reflection on Peachy Keenan's piece about why many women are angry despite apparent gains.Eicher also examines a parallel controversy inside the Mennonite world — a pastor’s monetary ‘purity’ contracts with students, the outcry over spiritual abuse, and what these practices reveal about control, sexual ethics, and the erosion of traditional agreements between men and women.The episode ties these events to broader themes: the crossing of cultural lines (the “Rubicon”), the decline of male agency in contemporary Christian circles, the role of institutions, and a call to reconsider a biblical vision of manhood and household responsibility.
