## Resource

You guys asked, and I’m answering. What started as Fan Mail Friday turned into a hard but necessary conversation about Joe Kent, truth, and the lack of discernment I’m seeing right now in the conservative movement. We’re talking about chaos, conspiracy, and why Christians must care about evidence and integrity. I’ll also end with some encouragement for a listener who’s hurting and needs to be reminded where her worth really comes from.
