## Resource

Steve says the story of Fox News contributor Guy Benson's procurement of children via surrogacy, the reaction to that story, and the counter-reaction is an example of how Fox News has subtly played a major role in the diminishment of orthodox Christian morality on the Right. Then, Iowa congressional candidate Chris McGowan joins the program to provide a perspective of the midterm environment from a seat that's solidly red. Hour Two is Theology Thursday on the seven deadly worldviews. Next up: dualism.
