In this powerful episode of the Spiritual Reality Podcast, host Jim Richmond tackles three explosive headlines shaking the culture and the Church right now.Jaden Ivey was just waived by the Chicago Bulls after boldly calling out the NBA’s Pride celebrations as “celebrating unrighteousness.” Was this a free-speech issue, religious discrimination, or something darker? Jim breaks down the double standard, the Soviet-style “he needs help” smears, and why Ivey’s courage is already inspiring other athletes to stand up.Then, Pope Leo XIV declared that “God does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.” Jim goes straight to Scripture to show why this claim collapses under biblical reality—from Joshua’s conquests to David’s psalms—and why it matters when a world leader’s words have real consequences.Finally, the Supreme Court just ruled 8-1 that Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” is unconstitutional. Jim explains what the ruling actually means for Christian counselors, client self-determination, free speech, and why this is a massive win for religious liberty—and why we need MORE lawsuits like this, not fewer.If you’ve been wondering how to navigate a world that demands you celebrate sin or stay silent, this episode is for you.If you’re not subscribed yet, hit that button right now—it really helps the show reach more people.
