Fasting from Christ?! Our Mental Health Crisis and Victim Culture with Joshua Horner

They may have the world at their fingertips, but young people are more depressed than ever. A "yes" culture of affirmation has created a nation of socially atomized, anxious victims. Identical twin sisters Amy and Julie interview Joshua Horner, a speaker, certified personal trainer, and peer support specialist, about why youth are struggling so much today and what God has to do with it. Plus, why fasting can help regenerate us from trauma.

Identical twins Amy and Julie discuss why the online right is so darn mean. Highlighting viral tweets and memes, they show how the worst of the online right drags us further into degeneracy rather than inspiring, elevating, and attracting new people.

What started out as necessary conservative ideas promoting family formation and pushing back against lawless left-wing cities has devolved into needless bullying, cruelty, and shame.
