Special guest Val Dunham returns to the show to talk about the atypical representation of love in the Netflix Original Atypical. There is phrase used in the community of autistic parents and family members, “If you know one person who has autism, you know one person who has autism.” The disability is something that varies in presentation from person to person making the goal of representation in dramatic television a challenge. Drew and Tyler talk with Val about her review of the show and how the oversimplification of of “love is a verb” is detrimental to Christians and all viewers can be. While the show is far from perfect with critics praising and lambasting, Val finds merit in the characters and the nuance found within that she can relate to as the mother of an autistic child.

Harrington to talk how to navigate an outrage culture. Following up on Luke’s article, “Be Offended and Do Not Sin,” the trio talk about the phenomena of wearing outrage and offense as a mark of identity and pride. “If you are offended at the right things, then you are certainly a good Christian,” is the attitude that Facebook tends to draw out of the morally superior posters. Offense is an emotion and it can have good and bad repercussions as Drew, Tyler, and Luke discuss in this episode.

NOTE – This episode was recorded before the events of August 11 – 13, 2017 in Charlottesville, VA.

Chick’s tracts of fear were a fairly well known product that many churches and Christians used. During his active time as a publisher, Chick published hundreds of different tracts that took on virtually anything that he deemed offensive to his particular brand of Christianity: Christian music, secular music, the Roman Catholic Church, and even the long haul trucker was not immune to his writings and drawings. Amanda Wortham experienced these tracts first hand saw a world that was filled with fear and evil usually in the shape of unkempt men and women wearing shades and questionable hygiene practices. Drew and Tyler chat with Amanda about her article, “Jack Chick’s Vision of the World Was a Fear-Filled Caricature” and how the fear of the world and the drive to conquer it can fuel the church and cause us to miss the simple need that many people want: a friend. It’s a powerful episode and one you should not miss.

The idea of a unexplainable supernatural occurrence can be scary and it was the reason Drew and Tyler chat with Liz Wann about her recent article “Stranger Things and Our Quest for the Extraordinary in the Ordinary.” The duo return from vacation to discuss what Christians can learn from the new show Stranger Things and the importance of acknowledging the reality of the supernatural around us and in Scripture.
